An Update From Me

It's been a few months since I posted a blog entry so I thought I'd give a quick update on myself for those of you who've been asking.  Since returning to Canada almost a year ago I've managed to keep busy with various activities including the blanket project for Kyrgyzstan and getting the kids from the Rehab Centre in Ukraine on an outing to a movie and McDonald's.  You can see more in my previous blog entries about these.

In July I had surgery to remove all of the metal from my elbow and ankle and it went really well.  I will no longer be setting off all of the metal detectors at the airports.  I am no longer able to straighten my arm completely but I can function normally.  I just have to remember that I can't reach as far as I used to when I go to grab something.  However, the physiotherapist thinks it might come back with time.

Even though I've had a lot of down time this past year I was still able to serve in various ways.  I was able to help at several World Vision events to get some children sponsored around the world.  I also helped out at several banquets with a friend at Full Gospel Church.  I have been working part time in one job which pays the rent and a bus pass each month as well as being a casual at another job.

This past year I have also gone through several difficult situations which I won't get into here but I survived them.  Even though things aren't where I'd like them to be right now I'm believing for things to get back on track and getting back to Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan this year.  I really miss being "home" and doing my serving there.

In order to return to life on the road I need to find funding including monthly sponsors.  Once that happens I can just zip up my suitcase and go.  If you would like to help me to get back to showing a father's love to those who need to see it just click the "ways to donate" tab at the top of this page for several giving options.  Every dollar counts and will mean a lot to so many people.  Will you please consider helping out?

Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as well.  Thank you for seeing my heart...я люблю вас!!
