News from Kagarlyk

Greetings!

Fall has turned into winter here in Ukraine. Snow has come and gone twice and the days are short and grey. But it still is not very cold and it's hard to complain after such a nice autumn.

As the ministries in our church are growing and moving forward we've seen that we need to be a lot more organized as a church. Everyone in the church has felt it over the last year but hasn't known how to go about it. Last month I started initiating some organization, much to everyone's delight, and I've been busy ever since helping the church get and stay organized.

I've also been going over all the video footages we shot over this last year to put together a dvd for our supporting churches and a dvd for Wayne that will communicate the vision of Calvary Chapel Kagarlyk and what God has been doing over the last couple years. Up till this year I've never really done anything with video but it seems to have been a good thing this year to show our church what each ministry is doing, and to show churches in America and Australia as well. Last week we had lunch with Jake and Anya Knotts (our friends who started a church in the city of Chernigov) and Jake was telling me about the possibilities of getting airtime on local TV. The TV station in Chernigov actually approached him and asked if he would like to do something for their channel. Jake asked me if I would be interested in helping him produce some short videos to air on local TV and of course I said yes. So we are praying about getting the right equipment to for everything and maybe in the next year we'll be able to produce a few short videos that can communicate the gospel on local TV. These videos would be useful not only in Chernigov but here in Kagarlyk and anywhere that we can buy or get permission to use some airtime.

Over this last month Liese and I were able to visit the churches in Priluki and Chernigov. I got to share a few minutes at the church service in Priluki and I taught the midweek bible study in Chernigov. We had a really good time in both churches and it was really good to "catch up" with all our old friends in Priluki. We want to continue to visit these churches to encourage them, foster relationships between the churches, and to keep the relationships that we have built with them over the last 5 years.

We are planning our yearly trip to America and we got our tickets last week. We will be in Arroyo Grande from December 14th until the beginning of January when we'll go to to Calvary Chapel Missions Conference in Murrieta. Then we'll go up to Yuba City and spend about 3 weeks up there and then a couple more weeks in Arroyo Grande. We are still not sure about when we will be at which church but we'll write again to let you know. We hope to see as many of you as we can. Write us or call us or something and we'll make sure that we get together. See you soon,

Daniel and Annaliese Foote
