2020 spring work teams

We met with three guys from the global impact committee (former mission committee) from church Monday afternoon to talk about the project Garry would like to get some work teams (hopefully from several churches) to help build next spring. 

Ten years ago

Not in the village this time, but in the city of Dnepro,  its an addition to Morningstar church's house that will become the sanctuary or meeting room. Morningstar is one of the two Evangelical Free Churches in Dnepro,  and was formerly known as the International Church. It has almost had a new church building a few times in its history. We started attending the church after moving  to Ukraine.  A number of members speak English. At the time, they met in the auditorium of a military truck driving school.  We attend the church in the village more often recently but still go there at least once a month. The Crawfords attend regularly since they arrived, Scott has preached with a translator a few times.

Not long after we came to Ukraine,  they had money to build a church of their own. Unfortunately the builder they gave the money to invested it in building some houses first and lost it all in the economic downturn.  Eventually they got his home in place of the lost money, and for the last couple years, instead of renting a building to meet in, they have met in the house, after opening a wall downstairs to make a larger room.  They continue working on turning the upstairs into Sunday school classrooms.  It is very crowded,  especially during praise and worship time before the children go upstairs to Sunday school.

If you're interested in coming to Ukraine to help with this project next year please contact us! 
We are also considering another VBS or camp in the village during spring break, like we had in 2017, and a small home build in the village for one of our married couples.
