Created for a Mission

Literally! We arrived pretty much on time on July 3rd. We were met at the airport by Pastor Peter and his daughter Inna. We drive through the heavy traffic in Kyiv and stop for lunch about 2 hours later. We arrived in Rivne (the major city in the region where we will be serving). We dropped our bags of at Inna’s flat, took what we needed and were off to Dubrovitsa for the weekend. We were told before we arrived that the main road between Rivne and Dubrovitsa was closed for repairs but no one talked about the options for the other roads. As we were leaving Rivne we learned that we would have to go through the woods and over a river. Okay, so I turned it around in the title, it just sounded better for a title the way I have it. Anyway, at some point we turned off the main road and rode on a dirt road through the woods for over 30 minutes. The road ended at a river where there were cars waiting the cross the river. In order to cross the river cars had to go two by two on a manually operated ferry. While we waited for our turn, we got out the car, went close to the river and watched as cars boarded the ferry on one side and drove off on the other side. Pedestrians and horse drawn carts where also allowed to cross. It was an exciting and new experience.   We are leaving for Rivne tomorrow.
