The Open WindowAugust 2008 July 31 st marked one year since our arrival back in Canada from our ministry as dorm parentsat BFA and our summer of 2007 ADVENTURE across Russia - seeing that vast country almost from end to end. Our “romantic-expectation-bubble” was quickly popped by FEAR as we had trouble with the police, but as well with a sense of REFUGE, whenever we visited with believers in various cities. Panic & PuzzlePanic Puzzles During our final days in Russia, I remarked to Dave that, “I didn’t know if I could live there again”. …Two days back in Canada and I admitted that I did not wantto return to Far East Russia - a goal which we had earlier agreed on working toward. Whenever I thought of it, I felt sick and panicked . Dave says, “I felt like I’d had all the pieces of my ‘life’s puzzle’ just about put together when Barb threw it all back into the box, added two more puzzles to it and shook the whole thing up!” We waited and prayed for PEACE and UNITY. Finally, by January, I felt the panic ease; talking about returning to FER became comfortable. The idea of ministry again with our Russian friends and SEND teammates became, by God’s work in my heart, EXCITING. Closed Door… Two weeks later our SEND FER Area Director informed us that, due to the new VISA laws, and the likely impossibility of obtaining Residency Permits, the Far East Russia Field would be, very likely closing.…Open Window However, less than one month later, we received an invitation to participate in a new work in CHURCH PLANTING in UKRAINE from the Area Director ofSEND Ukraine! …Say What ?
