Alaska Mission Trip: Ivan from the Ukraine

06/21/2009

On our layover in Salt Lake City on Saturday we met a boy names Ivan.

Ivan is from the Ukraine and we only met him because we missed our flight. One of the airport workers asked if we'd be willing to hang out with him because he was going to Anchorage too.

His English was limited but we were able to communicate fairly well and we spent the day with him. We were all given meal vouchers so we all ate together and got to talk with him about why we were going to Alaska. He is going to be working in a fish processing plant all summer and had spent two days traveling from the Ukraine. It was a total God thing that we even met Ivan. We were all on the same flight to Seattle and then on to Anchorage and got to sit with him on the plane.

Greg spent the most time with him and they were able to talk about God a little bit. Please be in prayer for our friend Ivan as he works this summer. We hope that there will be someone else along the way that shares Christ's love with him!
