Halloween at Katya's school Always eager to meet new people and develop relationships, our girls jumped at the
opportunity to visit a Ukraine classroom and share about American traditions -- this time it's Halloween!
A Day in the Life (part 1) We're often asked what a "Day in our life" is like, so Andrea put together a little video showing
typical events from her days. Enjoy!
A Day in the Life (part 2)
Maternity 101 Bob has been helping for years at the Izmail Life Care Center, and on most trips he includes time to give
maternity sessions to the new moms. Here is a compilation of some of the photos he's taken.

| Ministry Overview |
| While we were in the States a few years ago, we showed a five-minute video to many of our supporting churches that showed what Ukraine is like, and what kind of an impact our ministry is having. If you'd like to see it, click here or on the picture to the right. |
| Month in Review |
| This summer we put together a short video that shows how we are helping Ukrainian believers establishes outreaches to the community. Here's the finished work, highlighting the Christian Counseling Center in Odessa, the Medical Clinic in Belgorod, and the Life Care Center in Izmail. |
| Helping Ukrainian believers reach Odessa with the Gospel! |
| Something almost every American can do! |
Missionaries often spend a lot of time in seminary,
language school, and cultural courses learning how to
better bring the gospel to a culture. None of that is
very helpful, however, unless you have people to talk
with! It's ironic that the most useful tool we Americans
have to meet people in Ukraine is a tool that we've had
since we were in kindergarten -- speaking English!
Many Ukrainians want to learn English, and a native
speaker is the best person to learn from. You could do
it too, contact us if you're interested!

| 90 seconds with Yanna and Alexander |
| We want you to meet some of the wonderful people in our churches. First up is Yanna and Alexander, who attend our Presbyterian church in Izmail, Ukraine! |
| BACK IN UKRAINE!!! |
| Our time in America on our Home Ministry Assignment was a great blessing, especially being able to see many of you! Our very sincere thanks go out to all of you who contributed to our ministry and made it possible for us to return to our work in Odessa Ukraine. We returned in late August and have been going at full speed ever since, assessing ministries and making new plans for the future. We look forward to updating you soon on the changes to come. May God bless you all, Bob, Andrea, Abigail, Emily & Iris Burnham |
