Rehab Continues

This will be a very brief blog update, mostly about rehab and the current work of Agape. Hopefully in the very near future I will have a chance to write again with more information regarding the war, some of its effects, and some of my recent thoughts. 

It seems like summer just began but in fact it is already approaching its end. In June we celebrated the 6-year anniversary of the Agape Rehabilitation Complex by enjoying a festive lunch. It is always good to rejoice in the ways God has blessed and sustained us over the past year. 

Summer celebrations in Ukraine must include shish-kabobs!! 

Our rehab team continues to be small as we still await the return of several therapists and our secretary from Europe. As a result, our patient caseload continues to be smaller than usual, but it is still a joy and privilege to provide rehabilitation to those impacted by strokes or injuries. Young and old, civilian and soldier...all can find the opportunity for physical improvement through rehabilitation at Agape. And all have the opportunity to hear the Gospel as well. 

Currently, refugees are not coming to Agape in search of temporary housing or evacuation. There is a thought, however, that when summer ends and winter approaches, we may again see people coming our way. Why? While it may be possible to live in a damaged house or apartment (for example, with the windows blown out) in the warm summer months, that will not be the case in the cold winter months. So our team is continuing to look for locations in Europe to which people with disabilities can be evacuated should the need arise again. Please join us in praying for this provision.

I'll close this brief blog with a few pictures that were posted here on social media with the headline, "Sports in Ukraine now." Just a taste of some of what Ukraine looks like as a result of the war. 

Stay tuned, I promise the next update will be more informative. 

Thank you to all who support us in prayer and financially! May God bless you all!
