"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations" Matt.28:19a

Dear Friends and Family:

Is the Lord stirring in your heart to go to the nations? There are many, many people around the world who still have not heard about the awesome salvation that our God gives. One day we will see God as we worship before His throne. We will cry out to God together with people of every nation. "After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, 'Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!'" Rev. 7:9-10

Thank you for praying for us! It remains our desire to go back to Ukraine to make disciples for Jesus. Currently we are in the States working towards that goal. We are staying in Boise, Idaho where Elysia continues to undergo testing and doctors' visits to confirm a diagnosis for her kidney pain. She will have a temporary stent placed in a couple of weeks. Please pray for a diagnosis and for healing. God has provided very excellent health care for us through a local medical charity. We thank God for that.

While we are here, we are taking advantage of the opportunity for our kids to get a good education as we wait. The kids started school Aug. 25 at a small Christian school in our church where Gretchen is in 2nd grade and Peter John is in kindergarten.

Lizzy just turned three and Amy is 8 months now. They will stay home with Mommy and continue to be loved and trained up in the Lord.




Ethan was given the opportunity to teach in our church's School of Ministry this fall. He is teaching the Book of Genesis to twenty five students who have committed to a year of study for Christian ministry. Calvary Chapel Boise has grown a lot since we left 4 1/2 years ago to become missionaries. They have many ministries and people involved in the church. It is exciting to see God working in and through these things.

We stayed at a missionary house this summer provided by a woman in our church, but we needed to move out at the end of August. God provided us a house to rent just five minutes from the church and school, and we moved in September 1st. Before we moved in, we had very few things for our house. We sent out an email asking for any donations of used furniture and supplies. We had an overwhelming response and our house is full now with excellent furniture for our needs. Our God provides! Thank you to all of you who gave so generously here in the Boise area. May God bless you richly.

Praise the Lord!

We have a desire to prepare for Ukraine by beginning to study the Ukrainian language. There are several Ukrainian immigrants in the Boise area. Please pray that we will find a Ukrainian language tutor to help us begin to learn this language. We do not want to waste any time.

Thank you for all you do through your thoughts and prayers and support. We continue to receive financial support through our church, so please refer to our information below if you are interested in continuing to support us. We continue to update our blog periodically if you want to keep in touch. God bless you.

Love, The Larson Family
