My tenth trip is completed.  Four of us traveled to a new area called Krivoy Rog.  We visited two Canadian brothers who are working with at least three orphanages.  A couple of them are very poor.  One was nicer.  It is sad to see young children so hungry for a mom and dad, who will most likely never get one. 

We also met a street boy in the train station at Kiev and bought him some food.

Overall the trip was challenging.  Tried to sleep on the plane from 9:30-6:30 a.m.  Near impossible.  Then we took an overnight train and it was dark and dirty.  Hot. Closed in.  Another 9-6 experience with the train jerking around.  Stopping and starting.  Then we stayed all week at Curtis' apartment.  I ended up sleeping on two pads on the floor of a store room.  For an older guy this was not good. 

However, overall it was a good trip.  No major problems.  We took a few supplies, bought Curtis a new printer and saw their ministry.  David Hendrix church is already busy trying to raise support to help several orphans over there.  Jane and Ashley are putting together a box for Curtis.  

Right now we are looking for speaking engagements, settling into our new nice office and seeking Gods direction for Shepherd's Purse.
