Today we met with a missions agency, Team.org in regards to possibly partnering with them in Ukraine. The area is in Odessa, which is a beautiful port city in Crimea (the southern portion of Ukraine).
I always appreciate meeting with mission mobilizers, as they have such a passion for people. This connection was no different. They are inspiring and motivating.
Next steps will be reviewing some of their policy materials and application, meeting with the Ukrainian team administrator and seeing if we fit and they fit. We are still looking to head out in late 2014, but they seem a lot more flexible in timing on fundraising if it takes longer. I really liked their laid back attitude but heart for getting folks mobilized and working directly with your sending church and local in-country churches.
Funny enough, Odessa was one of the places I had tried to sell Eric on before we ever started looking at mission agencies. It has the seaside and beach and sub-tropical warm summer weather that I crave. It also gets the snow and cold that Eric loves.
We will see...Our only desire is to be obedient to where God would place us.
On a financial side note: We paid off our first credit card two weeks ago. We just put a huge payment down on our other credit card. That leaves us with $5500 in debt on the CC. Baby steps to be debt free!
