We made it to Ukraine.

After leaving Roanoke just before 8 pm Tuesday we arrived in Ternopil Ukraine just before midnight (Ukraine time) on Friday.

Melissa and I spent Thursday night in Krakow Poland and met the rest of the team when they arrived in Krakow this (Friday) morning then we all hopped on a train or 3 to get here. We will leave in the morning for a several hour drive to Nizhyn. Nizhyn is where we will stay (for the most part) the bulk of our trip. 

Thank you for all of your prayers and financial support. 

Also keep praying for Alex and the Rest For Your Soul team as they keep the street ministry in SE Roanoke going while Melissa and I are gone.

Blessings

Derek, Melissa and Alex
