One week to go and we start one of the grandest adventures of our lives! Most of the kids are at teencamp this week, so Sara and I, along with Levi, are making last minute preparations for the big trek through Eastern Europe.

Our travels will start in England, with a few days to visit some of the sights of London, as well as exploring the birthplace of the Arthurian Legend in places like Glastonbury. Levi's a little nervous about being on a BIG plane for 9 hours, but we assure him that he'll thoroughly enjoy having his own TV screen with food served every couple of hours!

Big on the agenda this week is preparing ourselves (along with the team) for the two weeks in Krasny Mak, (Crimean Republic of Ukraine) where we will be hanging out with church planters (and good friends :-) Maxim and Jhenya Babenko. I can't wait to go back! It's hard to explain, but God has really put a surreal connection between my heart and those two! Very much looking forward to bring Sara and the kids into the experience as well.

So, there's a first blog. Keep checking this site out and we'll keep you updated with videos and photos through the next month!
