Last Wednesday we had a guest speaker Named Jacoby. Jacoby and his wife Lera are missionaries in Odessa, Ukraine. If you don’t know, Odessa is the southern part of Ukraine.The picture below shows where it is exactly. It is part of the orange colored region. Here are some things that are going on in the Ukraine that stuck out to me.

One thing is that Ukraine has the most teenage alchohalism in the world. I found this very intresting. I never would have thought that out of all the places in the world that teenage alcohalsim being the worst would be Ukraine! It is a very scary thing  that is happening too much.

Secondly, there is a big problem with kid napping, and prostitiution in  Ukraine. Lots of teenage girls  will apply for a job and they will get kid napped and then be forced into prostitution. It’s very sad and not right at all. It is very disturbing. But unfortunantly, it is happening.

Next, Ukraine is hosting a soccer tornament of some sort I guess, and they have a bunch of stray dogs running around in Ukraine. If you love dogs a lot you may not want to read this because it is a bit distrubing, but they need to get rid of all these dogs. So what they are doing is they are injecting poision into them and they are waiting for them to die. Then once they die, they burn them in order to get rid of the bodies. It is really sick and I absolutoly 100% HATE it, but they have no money to put all of them in pounds and such, so that is the only thing they think they can do with them.

Lastly There is a very high drug use in the Ukrain expecially in Kids.

There is so much more to pray for, for the Ukraine. Please go to this website and learn more about what Jacoby and Lera are doing.http://projectodessalife.com/partnerserve/

Since this week is Valentine’s day, I decided to put a song about love, so, it only makes sense to post the song Crazy Love by Hawk Nelson. This song is about how God is in crazy love with us and how the world just dosn’t understand. It is also based off of the book Crazy Love by Francis Chan. Have a good Valentine’s day everyone!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jFlW_j4G1A

This weeks song is Breakfast by Newsboys. This song is bascially about someone dying. When you die you get to go to one of two places, heaven or hell. If you go to hell, you don’t get the fun stuff that you enjoy on earth, such as breakfast. BUT, in hevan you will! Along with this the song has some funny refrences to the breakfast club and different type of breakfast foods so it is a lot of fun. So stop reading this and listen to this song!!-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSl5Yi3luGo
