Matt, along with a team from church went on a week long mission trip to Ukraine. They were there to work along side several of the pastors supported by SGA. The pastors ministered tirelessly to people in the villages. Matt was encouraged and convicted by their passion for the gospel. The weather was very cold, some days it was -10 degrees. They ministered to several villages in the Chernobyl zone as well. Most of those villages were abandoned, but not all of them. They also spent a great deal of time in orphanages doing skits, playing basketball and sharing the love of Christ. The team was able to hand out Christmas gifts sponsored by our church. It was special to hand deliver gifts to the children that members of CBC have been praying for throughout the Christmas season.
This was the seminary where the team stayed. The accomodations were wonderful. They had warm beds, hot showers, good food and indoor plumbing. Yay!
These are some of the children recieving their stars and gifts from Calvary.
Here is the team with the children from one of the orphanages. They had a lot of fun with our wild and playful guys!
Here is Damon and Jeff showing one of their breakfasts that was a little harder to stomach. The white logs that look like fingers were sausage and the noodles I guess were pasta. 
The team heading to the Chernobyl Zone. It was a cold cold day!
