Brothers and sisters, I'm leaving Wednesday, Aug 5 for a two week trip to the Ukraine to work with church planters and pastors on basic theology and preaching skills. I'll be speaking on "The Character of God" as well as "Preaching and Pastoring."

I would appreciate prayers for good health, stamina, working with a translator, and finding food I recognize.

Thank you for your prayerful support.

Dr. Kistler,

I can encourage you that when I was in the Ukraine in 1999, the food was excellent, especially the soup!

"The heart is the main thing in true religion...It is the hinge and turning-point in the condition of man's soul. If the heart is alive to God and quickened by the Spirit, the man is a living Christian. If the heart is dead and has not the Spirit, the man is dead before God." (J.C. Ryle)

Praying for our Father to keep you under His wings throughout your journey. May you be poured out for His glory.

Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Hebrews 4:16

We will be praying for you Dr. Kistler, and for the church in the Ukraine.
