I’ve been putting this post off for a few days now (also my computer broke, but I should have had this done before that happened). It’s not going to be my last blog post, but it is the last one for DTS. I’m readjusting to life back in the States fairly well, but I alsoContinue reading “DTS Ukraine: A Summary”

Outreach: Full Circle
After 3 weeks in Paris, we headed back to Lublin, Poland, where we spent our first night of Outreach so many weeks ago. Luckily, we didn’t break down anywhere on this trip. We made it to our hostel in Krakow after almost 17 straight hours in the car, leaving at 4 AM. In Krakow, theContinue reading “Outreach: Full Circle”
Tales from Paris
I have fallen a little behind in my blogging because the last few weeks of Outreach were so busy. So I’m going to do a few catch-up posts. First of all, Paris was SOO much fun. Yeah, the Eiffel Tower was kind of cool and we had a nice day off at Disneyland thanks toContinue reading “Tales from Paris”
Bounjour, Paris!
Well, it has definitely been a wild, crazy week. We left Opole Lubelskie last Monday, everyone packed tightly into our crowded van. We left early and drove several hours into Germany. Once there, we discovered that our alternator was dying. It was, in fact, pretty much dead. Miracle of miracles, we somehow managed to driveContinue reading “Bounjour, Paris!”
Roma Kids Ministry
So, luckily, I still get to do my favorite part of ministry while in Poland. Playing with kids! This is definitely an area where God has gifted me; I love coming and playing with them no matter how much work we’ve already done that day. We can’t understand a word each other says (they don’tContinue reading “Roma Kids Ministry”
A Very Polish Easter
Happy Easter everyone! Yes, I know I’m a few days late for Easter. But, you see, here in Poland the main celebration lasts two days. It started with your typical Easter Sunday celebrations. Our church service is at 4:00 PM, so we had a relaxing morning of reflection and an Easter egg hunt. For theContinue reading “A Very Polish Easter”
Outreach Has Begun!
Hello from Poland! It has been a very busy past two weeks. Our last week in Ukraine was spent cleaning up Berezina, the orphans’ transition home, from a fire that took place last November. We also cleaned the DTS house and said goodbye to the rest of the staff staying behind. Then we loaded intoContinue reading “Outreach Has Begun!”
Halfway Mark!
So yesterday we reached an exciting milestone. As of Saturday, March 25th, we have reached the halfway point through DTS! We have finished week TEN and have TEN weeks left before our graduation! Ahhh! It’s so weird to think about the fact that our time in Ukraine is rapidly dwindling. In some ways, it doesn’tContinue reading “Halfway Mark!”
Weekend Retreat
After eight busy weeks, we decided to escape Vinnitsa for a little while. Our team and some of the staff went to the Carpathian Mountains for the weekend. We got on the overnight train and spent a relaxing two days at a ski resort at the base of the mountain, where the hills reminded meContinue reading “Weekend Retreat”
Exciting Outreach Announcement & Other Updates
Well, I think it’s high time for an update! The past few weeks have been amazing, but I’m a little tired. I can’t believe it’s been almost two months since I’ve been here! I haven’t really even said anything about the school yet. We’ve had so many amazing guest speakers! After Sergey left, Oleg cameContinue reading “Exciting Outreach Announcement & Other Updates”
