Well, we've made it all the way to the Philly airport. Our flight to Frankfurt is running about 3 hours late which means that we will probably miss our connecting flight to Kiev. So, I guess we'll spend the night in Germany on the airline's dime and get on a flight to Kiev on Sunday. (Only 1 flight per day from Frankfurt to Kiev.) After a harrowing experience in the security line (only one scanner lane open!) we are now relaxing at our gate.
We had a great send off from our church on Sunday. Everybody in the congregation gathered around us and sang the song, "Our God" as a prayer over us. "If God is for us, who can be against us...."
I (Bill) had my eyes closed through most of the song but when I looked up I saw a crowd of people, hands outstretched over us in prayer. It was a very moving experience and we felt God's presence and strength. Also in the past week, Beth was reminded of some verses from Deuteronomy 31.
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.....The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you or forsake you."
We are trusting that the LORD will go before us and with us to Ukraine!
More later.
Beth and Bill
