Central Park in Chernivtsi

Samantha McNurlan and Alexander (Sasha), one of our interpreters posed in front of the fountain from where we shared God's love with many people.

Many came to the park with their children, grandchildren, spouses, girlfriends, boyfriends or were passing through and would sit and rest from the loads they were carrying from the market. It is a beautiful park. We were entertained by several weddings that used the park over the weekend.

We came here several times over the six days we worked with the twelve Baptist churches. God's Spirit was blessing us as we shared. The people are very gracious and listened. We gave the witnessing bracelets. The Orthodox religions are a major stronghold with the Ukrainians. Our prayer is that they will think about the truths that we shared from the Bible and God's Spirit will encourage them to read the Bible for themselves and not look to tradition to save their souls.

The weather cooperated and was in 70's and low 80's with a breeze. Two evenings we had rain. One day we had to leave the park because of rain. Everything here is very green and we are praying that God is blessing our homes with rain.
