Who wudda thunk?

One of the delights of ministry overseas is developing lasting relationships with people from all over the world. Sasha is one such friend. Both in Ukraine and Poland, Sasha has been one of our treasured translators. Her faithful service and godly testimony have been such an inspiration to all of us.

And guess what? Sasha is now in the States, serving as a nanny for a family in western Michigan! She will be here for at least a year and is adjusting to life in this big country. She had a free weekend, so we brought her to our home in Brighton. How fun is that?? We introduced her to the Polish market in Troy, a multi-ethnic congregation in Detroit, "Sonic" America's Drive-In, the historic Brighton millpond, and more.

As we sat with Sasha in our living room, studying the Word together and thanking God for His saving grace, it struck us once again how gracious is our God. He brings dear people into our lives and then makes arrangements for us to spend time together. It doesn't seem to matter to Him that they live half-way across the world.

Sasha in our house!! Who wudda thunk??
