Sarah's Ukrainian Adventures

This online journal was created in order to update people who are interested, on the progress and adventures of Sarah during her 10 months in Berdyansk, Ukraine.

Name:
Location: Berdyansk, Ukraine

The summer of 2005 in Lanzhou, China, I felt God calling me to more, that He wanted me to spent an extended time overseas in His service. So here I am! I am currently 20 years old, taking the year off from the university, and am on a whirlwind adventure, serving God and being a part of what He is doing in Ukraine!

College Group

On Tuesday night was the inaugural meeting of our “college” bible study. Though not everyone in the group studies at a college or university, everyone is of the appropriate age, which ranges from 19 to 23 years old. There were six of us, four men and two women, one of which was myself. Where have all of the young women gone? For this group we will be reading Keith Drury’s Holiness for Ordinary People, and learning about what the Bible says about the subject as well as how we can be more holy in our own lives. I am very excited to be a part of this group! Since I have arrived in Ukraine I have been praying that God would provide for me a place where I can fit right in and be myself amongst my peers and I think that this group may be the answer to those prayers! In an e-mail I had received from the previous leader of the group, he had expressed how he had been praying for someone to come along that the group could relate better with (i.e. someone younger). Praise God that He is bringing everything together! Please pray with me for the continued success of this group!

Hi Sarah,

We are Dan & Becky Lambert and are coming to Berdyansk about Jan 20 to adopt 10-year-old Roman. It's great reading your blog. How's the weather? Looks like we better pack VERY warm clothes. Do you need anything we can bring you?

How exciting! I'm thrilled that you've found a peer group with "do life" while there. What an awesome answer to prayer.

The book you've selected to study looks most intriguing. I found a website with an excerpt from the first chapter, and I'm thinking it looks like something I should investigate - ditto for another title "Spiritual Disciplines..."

Have fun with your new-found group.
