Partners & Friends,

So, here’s a reminder to pray for your missionaries.

Romania & Ukraine Trip

On our trip to Romania, inbound, the airlines delayed our flight into Cluj (where we were heading to work with Gypsies and then cross into Ukraine). They also lost all 10 of our bags for 2 ½ days. On the return, delays and cancellations left us stranded in Munich and later in Toronto, where flights were canceled four times. Finally, at 12:30am, my son and I walked across the Rainbow Bridge at Niagara Falls to the US, found a hotel, and arranged a ride home. Three days later than planned, I arrived back, packed, and immediately drove a box truck to South Dakota to prep for the next missions trip. Yeah haw!

Despite these challenges, the Romanian trip went well. We raised funds to purchase a van for our contact to haul supplies into Ukraine. We also visited an outreach center hosting Ukrainian refugees. There, we built a playground and established contacts to help get materials to the front lines for families in need.

One woman we met had fled Odesa as bombing began. Just after she crossed a bridge, it was destroyed by Russian forces. Another showed us bombing damage just ½ mile from her home. Another endured a 20-hour escape from her city under attack. Please pray for our friends in Ukraine and support our relief work via our website, designating gifts for the “Ukrainian Relief Effort.”

Sioux Nation Project

Meanwhile, materials were delivered and our team is working on a project in the Rosebud Reservation of the Sioux Indian Nation. Please pray for good success as they carry out this important work.

Looking Ahead

Please continue to pray for both the outreach in the Sioux Nation and our continued support for Ukrainian refugees. Thank you for standing with Bridges for Life Ministries as we take the gospel to the nations.

Many blessings,
