We made it safely back to Kiev a couple of hours ago. We are currently meeting with Pasha, a Russian native working as a contractor in Ukraine who represents www.borkholderbuildings.com. The company is based out of Indiana. There is definite traction with the eventual building of a church. We are considering a worship space that could also house a pastor and his family in Ozero. Pray for wisdom and vision for the project. There are many details to consider.
UPDATE
The meeting went very well with Pasha. His company had heard about our goals for Ozero, and Pasha seemed genuinely excited to help. He even prayed for us after the meeting. He had interesting ideas about how to get some work done by volunteers, keeping our cost down for labor. It seemed clear he and his company are eager to help us, and do so with a budget in mind. We left the meeting very encouraged.
We said our goodbyes with Tolli tonight, and he got back on the road for a 4-hour return to Rivne. We were left without an interpreter for dinner and our remaining hours here in the hotel. We headed to the only place we felt safe within walking distance... the golden arches! Today, Lloyd celebrated his 69th birthday with us, traveling across Ukraine, eating lunch in a gas station and dinner at McDonalds. I never heard a complaint. Happy birthday Lloyd (a.k.a. PawPaw and LL).
