It is already Monday and the VBS classes begin today in 12 congregations all across Ukraine. A map of Ukraine is above to give you a general idea of the 12 locations where VBS is taking place. On Sunday our hosts in Kamyanets-Podilskiy took us on a tour to visit Chrystal Cave and a 12th century castle. In the evening we visited the Old Town with many buildings and a castle from the Middle Ages. About 750,000 visitors a year come to Kamyanets-Podilskiy. There is a family from Pennsylvania in the hotel. Last night as we were waiting for the lights on the castle to come on, we heard English being spoken. There was a man and his wife and another man from Australia. The single man was not traveling with the others, but had met that day on a bus going to the castle. It's a small world after all. The one man's grandfather left the Ukraine city of Kolamiya in 1944 because of the war.
Today I visit the classes in Kamyanets-Podilskiy and then travel on to Ivano-Frankivsk to attend the classes there tomorrow.
Thanks for following the Thoughts of Faith, Ukraine VBS program.
