Also...MI7

Source

Yea, you have noticed mention of 3 projects in the last post...thats because just before we went to Siberia, we have MI7 in Cherkassy, "The Treasures of the Heart". This is the project that for the last 7/8 months I have been planning with a team of 4 others. And I can genuinely say it was a great project, about 150 young people from around the world came everyday for a week, ran around the city searching for treasure by day, and spending the evening's finding their spiritual treasure through some inspiring worship, the like of which has never been seen in Cherkassy before, and some great talks from Dave, not that we expect any less from him ;)
There were of course some difficultly, you don't forget you are in Ukraine trying to keep the project going smoothly, but clearly God prevailed, the project went on, and for the young people there were no noticeable problems, we hope. As a team we spent everyday running around after our people, helping them to solve clue's which had seemed so simple to us, and yet seem to lose completely all our beautiful, but not so clever Ukrainian kids...
On the final day all the teams where gathered on the beach to dig up the treasure that had been buried in late February, and exciting moment for all, especially the team the won!
A few days later our foreign teams left, going home for another year, always sad, but as more and more people keep coming back there are less tears, and more just bye, see you next time...
