I have two awesome things to share with you!  I can hardly contain my excitement as I write these words.  With much prayer and planning, my next trip to Eastern Europe has now been scheduled.  Two very special ladies will be going with me to Romania and Moldova to share at several women's gatherings throughout these countries.  Please join me in praying for these two dear friends, Kim Meeder and Judy Jeffrey, of Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch, as they continue to prepare for our time abroad.  It will be a packed schedule, with lots of logistics to put together.  Judy is traveling with us as Kim's assistant and prayer partner.  You can read more about Kim and Troy Meeder and the ranch at www.cpyr.org

Kim's life message of how the Lord can bring beauty from brokenness is exactly what so many women need to hear worldwide, and we are thrilled she has agreed to share with our dear sisters in Eastern Europe.  Kim is an accomplished speaker and has addressed audiences across the nation.  Her books have been highly acclaimed here in the US and abroad, with several of them being translated into other languages.  Her passionate message of hope coupled with her humble and tender heart give me great joy as we look towards May and June.  I will share more details and prayer requests soon.
Secondly, I will be introducing our Russian Bible study by Beth Moore, Jesus the One and Only, on May 28th at our next Leadership training conference in Chisinau, Moldova.  Can I get an Amen and a Praise the Lord???  Whew, been a long term project, but the Lord has graciously kept us moving forward to its completion.
