Just a quick note to say that after 2 days of travel I arrived early Friday morning and got to the place I am staying at 4:30am. It is Saturday and I am well rested and in good health. The weather is perfect.It is in the 40s at night and mid 60s in the day with warm sunshine. When you perspire walking down in the center of the town like I did today it is a good thing when it is late October.
I am staying with an American missionary who relocated here from Russia and Ukraine. His name is Mike Lytton. He is 54yrs old, never married and has been a missionary since the early 1990s. mostly in the Soviet Union and the Ukraine. (see attachment). He had to leave Russian and Ukraine due to the Eastern Orthodox Church being unhappy with Evangelical Protestant church planting influence so they got the government and KGB to only give him a 3 day visa renewal rather than the usual one year visa which he used to receive the last 8 years.
He is now here teaching Bible courses in the bible schools located in local churches here in Bulgaria with the same organization who I have been working with as well called MTEE (Ministry to Educate and Equip) who reach out to Russia/Ukraine and Eastern Europe countries).
He is a real inspiration to observe his focused dedication to the Lord. As one who is unmarried he has "undivided devotion to the the Lord" 1 Corinthians 7:35 and is content in his present station in life.
thanks for your prayers,
Jason
