Going to Ukraine

We have been praying about this for weeks. Who, where, why and when, were all questions we were waiting on God's answer. A friend has offered to go with me to see what God is calling us to do. I am humbled by his offer. God is working out all the details. We don't know all the answers yet...but God knows the big picture. I think our minds are just to small to grasp the future.
My oldest daughter will be traveling with us. We will need at least one interpreter and a driver or plan to get around. We fully believe God knows already what the plans are for the trip. We are simply waiting on His revealing them to us.
We hope to carry things to the different orphanages. Some needed items are blankets (which we hope to buy in bulk), gloves, hats, jackets, embroidery thread, needles, candy, toothbrushes, toothpaste and lots of prayer. We are humbled by God's calling and excited by it too.
Please be praying for us as we prepare to go. This trip is going to be alot of traveling. We hope to take or send others later. We feel it is best for us to go ahead and see what each city is like before carrying a group.
We volunteered with a hosting group. We decided God was calling us to adopt from Ukraine. We started the adoption. We obeyed God and hosted 8 orphans in our home. Now God is giving us the next job assignment. So .... we are going to Ukraine.
