Meeting up again with The Peipons...this time in America!

Do you remember the missionaries from Ukraine that we posted about several times on our blog, Dr. Jim and Marianna Peipon.....Well, they are in the states raising support for their mission work in Ukraine and we had the opportunity to spend time with them as they came to Alabama. The first night was spent at a dinner meeting that we and 2 other couples hosted for them and the second night we were able to spend time with them in our home as they spent the night. I can’t tell you how much of a blessing it was for us to spend time with them again….I was reminded why we have come to love them so much and didn’t want to see them leave! They made a point to arrive at our house in time to walk with me and Vitali to pick up Grant and Inna from school and walk them home...Inna was excited to see them and Grant was just beside himself with excitement to have them with us! Later, we all hung out at The House of Java coffee house here in Prattville. Then, papaw and nanny came over to eat dinner with us and meet The Peipons in person also. The night ended with a little Hokey Pokey and square dancing with Dr. Jim, Marianna, Grant and Inna before bedtime!
God is really using The Peipons in Ukraine in the healthcare area and in helping AIDS orphans. They are currently trying to raise money for some land and a home that they have found to house some of these AIDS orphans. The land is connected with a church where the children could plug into and continue to be loved on and encouraged in their faith. The pastor of this church has already caught the vision for these AIDS children. Please pray that they will receive all the funds and every detail will be taken care of that is needed for this project and pray for their ministry! I have sent it out before, but here is the link to their ministry website...
