Without even thinking (which I occasionally do), I failed to mention that Billy and his team made it to Ukraine around 6:30 a.m. this morning. (Sunday) They were originally supposed to have left Springfield on Thursday afternoon, but due to plane mechanical problems, their flight was cancelled. They rescheduled for Friday afternoon, and once again, the flight got delayed. (not sure what the problem was this time) So knowing they would no longer be able to catch their connecting flight in Detroit, the airline booked hotel rooms for them and they spent the night in Detroit, then caught the next flight out on Saturday afternoon. After an extra connecting flight or two, they made it to Kiev.

Please continue to keep them in your prayers as they minister to the people there. They will return on January 11th. I will try to keep this updated as I hear from them.
