Our Belarusian friend and ministry colleague, Hleb Yermakou, was a big hit with students and staff as he addressed 3 different classes this morning at Omaha Christian Academy. Hleb talked about his country and its history, his life and family, his insightful take on Western culture, the faith he has in Jesus Christ as Savior, and more.
And then Hleb followed those events with an informal, friendly session at Grace University's mission conference early this afternoon. In all of these meetings, he was engaging, fun, extremely informative, and yet challenging too. It was a very good day.
Tonight he's scheduled for a get-acquainted dessert party with board members of Vital Signs Ministries (and their spouses).
A busy day? No doubt about it. But then it's just getting started! Your prayers remain very much appreciated for the spiritual impact of Hleb's visit to Omaha.
