A new year looms before us and we look forward to seeing what God will do. We are so thankful for all of you who continue to support us. We are grateful for those who because of the economic situation are no longer able to support us. We trust that God will bless you and help you through this tough time.

We are looking at changes here in Ukraine. Oh AnnMarie will continue to serve at Kiev Christian Academy, but Alan's ministry is taking a new turn. He has stepped away from helping pastor the English speaking church we had been attending and is looking at putting more energy into teaching and training with the Antioch group. He also hopes to visit Chernighiv more often as well.

This new year has started out cold and white, but who knows what next week will bring.
One constant has been God's faithfulness. He continues to demonstrate His love for us, both in the care and support of our friends and in our daily prayer times.

We would love to come back and visit but we are unsure when God will make provision for that. We have finally paid off our last visit to America, I would like to save up some money so we could pay for our next visit without going into debt.

We pray that all of you who follow our goings on and our adventures with God will be blessed this New Year. I am seeing 2010 as a year of renewal for us, with new possibilities and new opportunities.

Please pray that we will be obedient to follow God, wherever He may lead us. Pray that we will continue to be faithful in what He call us to do.

Blessings from Ukraine,
Alan, AnnMarie and Emily
