The Teams Are Off!

DavidLeave a comment

On Monday, we sent out the CCBCi team to Ukraine.  Tuesday, we sent out the team to Kyrgyzstan.  Today, the stateside team is having their first meeting.

Here’s an update for Ukraine:

Hello to all our family and friends!
    Well this is your first update from us in Ukraine, and we made it! Everyone is alive and well and we are safely at the Pratt’s house. Just to give you guys a little update, we’ve been traveling since yesterday at 7:30 am your time, and just got done about two hours ago, it’s 8:00 am over there now. We had a few minor problems during our travels, Carly’s name was spelled wrong, Nathan had the wrong boarding passes (his had Ryan’s name too), and Josh almost wasn’t let in to Ukraine due to his passport going through the wash once before. Despite all these things, the Lord still brought us here and right on time, it’s amazing to see His hand work and bring us where He desires us to be despite the potential holdbacks! It’s been an adventure with all the traveling, and we’ve been very blessed. We will be taking a train in the morning and heading to Turnopil, so please pray that things go smoothly and we make it there okay! There are two photos attatched so you guys can have a glimpse into our journey. Thank you all so much for all of your prayers and your support! We love you all!

In Christ,
CCBCi Ukraine Practicum Team

P.S. To Heather Lee, Evyn says hi. And there were two women on the plane that thought Courtney was Nathans daughter, haha!

As many of you already know, I’m interning at Calvary Chapel Bible College Indianapolis.  They are actually sending a team to L’viv, Ukraine (and they are sending out two other teams: one to Kyrgyzstan and one here in the States).  Here’s an update on how they are:

Hi CCBCi Friends,
This morning we dropped off the Ukraine team at the airport about 8:30am in Indianapolis and will they will be landing in Charlotte about noon.
They will arrive in Lviv in the afternoon on April 27th.
Everyone was is good spirits and looking forward to what is in store for them in the next three weeks.
Thanks for all your love and support, it goes a long way!
We will keep you update more emails as they arrive to us.

Please, please, please keep prayin’.  This isn’t the end, but there’s light at the end of the tunnel.  I’m at about 28% support now…  I know I’m talking about money a lot… it’s my stretch of faith.  If you guys are praying for me, I’d like you to know how I’m doing.

I hate money…  haha

Anyways:

Monthly Support –
     Raised: $225/month
     Needed: $1,100/month

Ticket Money –
     Raised: $1,000
     Needed: About $1,500-$2,000…  The travel agent hasn’t
          gotten back to me for the adjusted price yet.  This is a
          conservative guess.

Starter Money (e-mail me if you’d like a list of what this is) –
     Raised: $0
     Needed: About $2,560
