ps this trip only took a little over 24 hours Praise The Lord

Hello everyone,
This is David writing here just to let you know that I will be returning "home" on the 1st of March. I am leaving Cleveland Oh at 12:40 pm and arriving in Kharkov Ukraine at 3 am Eastern Standard Time Sunday. This will actually be 10 am Ukraine time.
We feel that my mother has stabalized enough for me to go back "home." We want to thank all of you for your prayers for her and for us as we were apart. My mother has been home from the hospital for almost all of the month of February and I would say she is 80% as well as she was before she entered the hospital. Please continue to pray for her as she is on new medicine and a different kind of chemotherapy.
Also pray for me as I take this longggggggggggg trip back. It takes about 35 hours from leaving Hartville to arriving in Kharkiv at the apartment. Needless to say it is a very draining trip but I am glad to be getting back. Christine has really done a wonderful job while I was gone and in some ways it has actually gotten much busier since I left. I have been feeling a little jealous since I was not there to be a part of what has been going on. We will write an update on the month of February very soon after I arrive.
Once again thanks for keeping us in prayer and we would ask for you to continue in prayer for us as we attempt to follow God's leading in our lives
God Bless You (and we mean it!!)

Dear Friends,
We have decided that David needs to go back to the States because of his Mother. We are unsure of the length of his stay but have made return plans for him for one month. He will be leaving Thursday the 31st and arriving in Cleveland that evening.

His mother is not doing well. She originally went in to the hospital because of fluid on her left lung and her difficulty breathing. After some testing they are saying that she has water not only in one lung but in both lungs as well as fluid around her heart, 2 blood clots in her leg, 1 blood clot in her lung, and they also found she is borderline diabetic. Because of all that is wrong with her, one problem feeds into another and it becomes so hard for them to treat anything. We ask for all of you to pray for God's Divine intervention for David's Mother Mag and for his safe travel.

Christine will be staying back in Ukraine to continue the work there. This is something we had to do last spring when David's Mother was first diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast Cancer. Neither of us is happy about the separation but feel it is the right thing for now. We so appreciate all of the love and care you give to us and thank you all in advance for your prayers!
With Sincere Thanks,
David and Christine

Something I forgot to mention in our latest update. We are now officially a non-profit corporation called Living Stone Ministries. We thank the Lord for his favor in this as it was all put together in the last days before leaving for Ukraine. We would like to publicly thank our attorney Mr Goldthorpe and staff for all their help in this. We appreciate all their help in this as it was such a last minute ordeal.
This doesn't or won't make much of a difference in what we have always done but this is the first step in applying for our own 501c3 status. Please pray for us as we take these steps of faith for the future of the ministry.
