We know that many pray for us regularly and we believe God is leading us back and has work for us to do there!<\/p>\n<p>When I started writing my book on worry, I had no idea what was going to happen in Ukraine. God knew and I believe he providentially led me to choose a topic that would be more practical to me then I ever would have guessed!<\/p>\n<p>So instead of worrying about us, we ask that you would pray for us! And if you need help with the worry part then you should get my <a href=\"https:\/\/sukofamily.org\/new-book\/whatif\" target=\"_blank\">book!<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>You Can Help!<\/h4>\n<p>We are diving into ministry immediately upon our return. Christina leaves with a group of young women for camp the day after we return. Many of these girls come from unchurched families, so this is a great opportunity to share Jesus with them! Christina&#8217;s role will involve teaching and encouraging the camp leaders every morning.<\/p>\n<p>Once Christina returns to Odessa, I will leave with a group of our students for a short missions trip in central Ukraine. This is not only an opportunity preach the gospel to those who haven&#8217;t heard but it is also a chance to give our students some practical training in evangelism.<\/p>\n<p>Will you help by sponsoring these two events?<\/p>\n<p>You can find out how to give <a href=\"https:\/\/sukofamily.org\/support\/\" target=\"_blank\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Join Us For a Final Farewell<\/h4>\n<p>We invite you to join us on Saturday, August 9th at 6:30 pm at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discoverybaptist.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Discovery Baptist Church<\/a>\u00a0for our\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #141823;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/1455003758102073\" target=\"_blank\">Sending\u00a0the\u00a0Sukos\u00a0Back\u00a0to\u00a0Ukraine\u00a0Open\u00a0House\u00a0and\u00a0book\u00a0signing!<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We will be showing some pictures from our first trip to Ukraine in 1994 and briefly sharing about what we will be doing when we get back to Ukraine.
