Nope. Personally and professionally we just don't, and we pray we never will. Yes we feel things intensely but great care is taken in these newsletters to try to accurately communicate to you and distinguish between facts, feelings, and interpretations. (Also our translators are the best and fully trustworthy.) No one has ever accused us of exaggeration though recently someone here in Kyiv confessed it crossed their mind, but they too could not dispute the facts and what they knew personally of our characters, so declared “Scary but exciting!” then joined with us in increased prayer and praise to God. The challenging tension and positive excitement of God's work over here in Ukraine (and seeping beyond) continues.</FONT></div> <bR> <div> <I><B><U>Flood, Robbery, Family Pain</U></B></I><I><B> ~ </B></I><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >The office flooded the night before day 1 of Module 4. Our jetlagged Operations Manager Artyom faced another sleepless night dealing with that in time to greet students bright and early the next (er …“that”) morning. UFI president Mike Linville got robbed in Amsterdam just days after module 4 ended. He's fine aside from being understandably upset at the loss which included cameras and all the photos and video planned for UFI promotion and fundraising. Unknown to us, the entire time Module 4 was running, (and being abundantly blessed by God again) really heavy duty hardship, sin, & blameless life/death stuff was going on in UFI related families far from the diligence, laughter, peace and autumn forest beauty of Vorsel, where our two classes had come to meet face to face and learn together for the first time. </FONT></div> <bR> <div> <I><B><U>UFI Grace & Integrity Challenges</U></B></I><I><B> ~</B></I><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > Praise God that the above mentioned situations did NOT cause uglies to ooze from the hearts of our UFI staff, but instead revealed lots of Holy Spirit fruit! There were other challenges as well. For the last few months the staff has actually been wrestling in prayer over very difficult staff, student, and financial pressures and challenges, exercising patience in making heart wrenching decisions, and showing a great deal of grace with each individual person and situation. Help is offered every step of the way and even after, with doors left open, if dismissal is the issue. All of the challenges were of course confidential and remain that way as UFI strives to continue to operate with high integrity and deep right compassion found only in Christ. I say that proudly yet in humility, for it is of God and Him alone we boast. We are weak but He is strong. The UFI team (Mike included even though he lives in America most of the time) talks together, prays together, and sweats out the tough stuff together, always seeking to learn and grow through the challenges worked out by God (Ephesians 1:11). There is not one member of our team, who this month has not felt as weak as a trembling captive bird and strong as a lion. It's God's way of equipping and using His children. To the great apostle Paul pleading for more strength and relief from his “thorn”, Jesus said “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12: 9 ) Through it all, God has shown us His faithfulness, caused us to marvel at His beauty and blessings, and no doubt was behind some of our freedom fits of laughter. To a westerner the above may seem a fine Christian approach, but to many Ukrainians it is totally new. Time and time again we hear of rigid, militaristic upbringing where achievement was what mattered most and feelings were suppressed. It is an interesting mixture we are seeing in Kyiv now.</FONT></div> <bR> <div> <I><B><U>Contagious Student Passion!</U></B></I><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><I><B> </B></I></FONT><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >We expected just a few comments.

We are obtaining the knowledge which will allow us to reach into the depths of the hearts of people, and which will allow us to bring salvation to those people. Truth penetrates the hearts of people, and people can change and grow in the Lord. This program is a completely new perspective, and brings a deep understanding of the truth of the Scriptures.

It is impossible to overstate what we are doing here at UFI. What we are learning we can use in our country to bring these truths to the high leadership of our churches. If we do not start providing spiritual support in every region, everything will end up miserably. Yes, we will have more churches and more believers, but they will grow harder toward each other, and they will be similar to the world. My desire is to do everything possible to mobilize our strengths. We need to promote all over our country the Scriptural truths of Jesus Christ that we are learning at UFI.</FONT></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>UFI Student: </B></I><I><B><U>“Ukraine Family Institute means so much for our country</U></B></I><I><B> ~</B></I><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > Besides the personal changes in my own life, I now have a different priority in my ministry…my ministry is bearing much more fruit.

It is perhaps the largest para-church ministry here. In God's providence, and in a wonderful way that shows His sovereign will through years and many recent months, Ron received an official invitation to teach along with a special lady named Ursula this coming January (Jan 8-16) as part of Crusade's national training curriculum. This is no small door! Remember that UFI's ministry purpose is “duplicating teaching teams to help pastors and church leaders throughout Ukraine and beyond to counsel biblically.” How did this happen? One young Ukrainian, Inna, and one old German, Ursula, walked faithfully for many years, then met one um, er, uhhh “grey haired” Canadian, Ron, here in Kyiv. Inna Girman is director of women's ministries over all of Ukraine, and she is one of our brightest and most gifted students. After moving to Kyiv from Kharkiv last Fall Inna has joined our UFI team for case reviews. She is now very much a friend of our office. One of her big burdens and prayers has been to introduce the UFI teaching to Campus Crusade as part of their establish theological training curriculum for its leaders throughout Ukraine. Ursula (75 years old, a Westminster colleague of Ron's, a biblical counsellor and teacher) has been used by God to awaken many leaders and Christian training institutions in Kyiv and other major centres of Ukraine to the superiority of Scripture in helping people solve life problems. Ursula paved the way for Ron and UFI, handing the baton to them to continue the work “because,” as she says “I am too old to take up the responsibility for a full training program.”</FONT></div> <bR> <div> Sooooooo, please begin praying for the formulation of lecture outlines, which will be provided under the name of Ukraine Family Institute.

However, we are still open to try. If the two leaders (of the 100+ pastors) provide official invitations to UFI, we can apply for Russian visas. Mike Linville (UFI president) knows of a missionary couple unable to return to Russia because their visa renewal application was denied. This couple has tried for 6 months with no success, and is now considering moving to Kyiv. I (Linda) also learned of new Kyiv arrivals kept from returning to their ministry in Russia. Pray that God grants favour to the earthly powers that consider our visa applications. Obviously we have been warned by our students for some time and now see evidence that the Russian Door is closing significantly and resolutely. We desire to make the most of this opportunity. The target for an open-ended Module 1 is sometime in June. (By this trip UFI is not committing to begin the 3 year program; we desire that God brings this into reality, but at this time we are simply presenting the content on Module 1. At a future time, whenever there is a self-sufficient administrative structure in Krasnadar that forms a partnership with UFI, at that time the official program will begin.) Please pray for this as we step out in faith. This is a big venture, with many potential complications, misunderstandings, etc... and yet with many potential blessings for God's Kingdom.</FONT></div> <bR> <div> <I><B><U>Looking Back “Thank You” s</U></B></I><I><B> ~</B></I><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > The medical conference went well too.

It's an impossible task! but always a blessing to review what God is doing. </FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#990000" FACE="Times New Roman" ><I><B>Thank YOU for YOUR faithfulness!</B></I> </FONT><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >Praise God!!!</FONT></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <I><B>“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness”</B></I><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#BF0000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> (2 Corinthians 12:9)</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 465 WIDTH="664"><div> <I>Serving Christ … from Kyiv Ukraine: </I><I><B>Ron</B></I><I><B>, </B></I><I><B>Linda</B></I></div> <div> <I>from Ottawa, ON, Canada: </I><I><B>Angela</B></I><I><B> </B></I><I><B>& </B></I><I><B>Dawna</B></I><I><B>, </B></I></div> <div> <I>from Ancaster, ON, Canada:</I><I><B> </B></I><I><B>Noel Adam</B></I></div> <div> <IMG SRC="2ebcc0a0.png" border=0 width="460" height="10" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Dr. Ron Harris: <A HREF="mailto:rharris@iGlide.net" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:rharris@iGlide.net"><U><U>rharris@iGlide.net</U></U></A> ~ Founder of Wellspring of Life Biblical Counselling Service: wellspringoflife.com   Academic Dean Ukraine Family Institute:ufi_kiev@yahoo.com , <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#990000" FACE="Arial" ><B>NEW :</B><B> </B></FONT>Ron.Harris@worldteam.org </div> <div> World Team Canada : <B>NEW 2003:</B> 7575 Danbro Crescent, Mississauga, ON L5N 6P9 </div> <div> (905) 821-6300; (800) 610-9788, www.world-team.org ~</div> <div>  International Faith Initiatives Inc.
