Beyond the Rapids| Zaporozhe Heat | | Posted by Evelyn on Thursday, August 5, 2010 at 6:10am | For two days in a row, we scorched ourselves in 100 degree heat. It’s not much cooler in Zaporozhe, Ukraine: the high there was 99. All this heat brings back memories of sweating through a particularly hot week in Zaporozhe (think high temperature of 122) of summer camp put on by the Khortitsa Baptist Church, with help from a short term team from my home church. The arts and crafts room had windows only on one side, and when filled with 20 or so children, it resembled a smelly sauna.

| | | | | God knows where He is leading us | | Posted by Evelyn on Monday, July 12, 2010 at 6:53am | Two book signings, two media interviews and a lot of networking. This is how I spent my time two weeks ago at the International Christian Retail Show.
When I started writing Beyond the Rapids, I put very little thought into the actual selling of the book. My focus was on the compelling story of how God helped the Brynza family through persecution. What I didn’t realize was how the book would change my life.

While this is an exciting time, I’m getting overwhelmed with all I need to do to prepare. I have a live television interview scheduled for Sunday: will I be ready? And what will I wear? So many details to take care of, to think about, and I am just getting busier and busier.

Nothing serious, just involving him and two parked cars. The astounding thing was the email he sent after the accident.
He admitted that his long habit of driving with one foot on the gas and the other on the brake was the cause of the accident. He also admitted that years ago when I mentioned to him that this was unsafe, he brushed aside my comments in what he now calls his “arrogant know-it-all attitude.”

Just how did the believers who endured communist persecution manage to focus on Jesus, and to trust His promises?
For one thing, they took the Word of God seriously. Intense study of the Bible was a characteristic of the Baptist churches in Ukraine, study intended to learn the character of God and how He wanted them to live, study so they could obey God’s Word. They strove to submit their lives to its teaching, and sincerely repent of their sin.
