Just spoke with Pastor Sasha in Vishgorod, Ukraine...suburb of Kiev.
Around 2800 refugees from Mariopol area are in his town.
He wants to start a bakery in the church due to food requests.
Food, heat, and construction supplies (like glass and roofing materials) will be the priorities coming in a few months.
6 missiles struck Kiev train infrastructure today. 🙏 🇺🇦
@sinbach 🤣 😎
Well, open it and show us!
Got this in my email today.. really good.
Listening well—all the way to the end of whatever the talker has to say—is rare these days. But it’s powerful.
I’m discovering that when I keep my mouth shut and simply rest in listening to others, that’s when I discover unexpected gold nuggets! (Have you ever noticed that this is how detectives approach people on those TV crime shows?)
Would people say that you are a good listener?
Give yourself a quick test by considering if any of the following five statements would describe your interactions in the past week.
When others are talking to me . . .
I find myself finishing their sentences.
I give my opinions before hearing them out.
I get restless and impatient.
I lose track of what is being said.
I mentally rehearse what I’m going to say next.
Recognizing these patterns in yourself is a step toward becoming a better listener.

How quantum physics can settle the calvinism debate... or add to it. 🤯 😎 😆
@sinbach
Gonna try to make it!
Just spoke with Pastor Sasha in Vyshgorod Ukraine (near Kiev) for about an hour. It was so good to hear his voice and know the real situation.
The atrocities are difficult to even hear about, let alone live through.
On top of that, are the lies that Putin is telling, and even pastors in Russia are believing and then supporting.
I've always been "on the edge" when it comes to pork rinds.
Found these today and now I'm all in.
@sinbach
Have you tried this flavor?
Ukraine prayer update message from Pastor Sasha
Hi Todd !
Things seem to escalate quickly here !
In the last 24 hours 3 things at least happened.
1) russia officially recognized those two stolen regions of Luhansk and Donetsk
2) right away they signed a military treaty with them
3) Russian parliament just a few hours ago allowed Putin officially to use his army abroad
This opens him the door for military invasion (
Let’s keep believing God 🙏

Plus his father, who is 80 and still preaching, was imprisoned and persecuted during the Communist times. Most of his brothers and sisters are in ministry. A plethora of podcast material. Here is a link to an impromptu, embarrassingly low quality interview I did back in 2006 with Andrei's father..
@sinbach @bethany
I've known him and his wife for many years. He gets even more interesting the more you talk to him. Ask him about quantum physics and the spirit realm and you'll have to ask him to stop because your brain is full. *like me*
But also loves Jesus with his whole heart and really wants to help people know Him.
@sinbach
Andrei said he had a great time! And he is very excited to be involved.
Thank you!
