Pastor Sasha and his family are in dire need of help to pay for a van that is coming in from Germany very soon. They are taking the cheapest way in Ukraine to acquire this vehicle. The van will be a work van instead of a passenger van to cut costs dramatically.. Someone there will cut the windows and add seats & carpeting to accommodate the family. It is beyond their scope of finances to pay for this van by May when it is now necessary. We are asking for you to share in this burden with all of us that have committed to a monthly goal already, and give what you can afford to raise this $9000 that they Skripak family needs. I know some of you will be getting a large tax return and want to donate to a charity or tithe to something worthwhile. This is your chance...The van will be used for Sasha's family and also for the mission groups that come to Ukraine in the summer time. The car that they were driving has been sold, and Thank God..I almost fell out of the back door while driving..it opened on it's own..So very unsafe for their children to be back there, not to mention they don't fit with the 3 car seats and baby gear needed for Theresa.
Please pray about this and if you feel it is something you can do to help this family and The Orphan Outreach missions to Vorzel. Email Pastor Sasha at the above address and he will guide you where to send the money. Thank You all for praying, donating, following the blog & visiting the Almaz Church while in Kiev. You can receive a tax deductible donation if needed.~

~~~~~Bearing Each Others' Burdens~~~~~
Galatians 6:1-5
Dear Father, lift of our heavy loads,
Fill my heart with love for my brothers and sisters in Christ. If someone is overtaken in some misdeed, help me to assist in restoring that person, in a spirit of gentleness. Let me watch out for myself, lest I also be tempted.
Help all of us to bear one another's overloads, and so fulfil the law of Christ. But help us not to deceive ourselves, thinking we are something when we are really nothing.
Let each one of us test our own work, so that our reason for pride may be in what we do and not in what our neighbor does. Teach each of us to bear our own fair load.
May we who are taught share all our good things with the person who teaches us.
In the name of Jesus I ask all this and that you will give me a Spirit-filled life resulting in eternal victory! Amen.
