Oh! Gravity
No, “Oh! Gravity” isn’t a new way to curse… it’s Switchfoot’s newest album. I’ve been listening to the album for a few days and I thought I’d share some of my thoughts about the album here… If you are American and one of my peers then you already know who Switchfoot is, so skip this paragraph. For everyone else: Switchfoot is a band. The...
He is faithful in all he does. Even little things.
Today God reminded me that he is faithful in all he does. After sending out my last update, in which I mentioned my need for a pair or two of jeans, I received an email from some friends asking for my size. As I was beginning a reply my dad said “Hey, Greg!

Christmas in an Orphanage
I just got back from my trip to Uzhgorod and I’m eager to share my experiences with all of you. I think the best way will be to start at the beginning so here goes…
Saturday evening I met the rest of the team at the Venetsya (YWAM Kyiv’s ship) and we all left for the train station. When we arrived, the Ukrainian national anthem was basting throughout the station and it was kind...

God bless you all! Merry Christmas!

Ukrainian Babies Killed for Stem Cells?!
Matthew Hill, BBC Correspondent:
Healthy new-born babies may have been killed in Ukraine to feed a flourishing international trade in stem cells, evidence obtained by the BBC suggests.
Disturbing video footage of post-mortem examinations on dismembered tiny bodies raises serious questions about what happened to them.
Ukraine has become the self-styled stem cell capital of the world.

What I've been up to (and what I'm planning to...
The view from our window this-morning.
We had our first substantial snowfall Friday night. (About 6 inches.) When It began snowing I was at the YWAM ship Venetsia for a sort of “Youth Group” for a lack of a better term. It’s part of a ministry called “Key of Hope” Who’s target is the street kids, orphans and to a lesser extent local Ukrainian kids. This...
