Hi all,
Just a quick note to let you know that I’ve arrived in Kyiv this morning (20th Sept) after a week-long journey—yes, in one piece! Thanks for all your prayers.
For those curious, here are a few photos from the trip. Since there are no commercial flights to Ukraine (for obvious reasons), I hopped on an 18-hour train from Krakow, Poland. Quite the ride!
Here’s how I play the 'disability' card along the way - numerous kind souls helped with my luggage!
Krakow, where Schindler’s List was based, is also not far from Auschwitz.
Most of the passengers in line to board the train were Ukrainians
Train to Kyiv - The drop between the platform and the train itself was huge!
I couldn’t be more grateful that God put this bunch in my cabin for the funniest few hours - two from London, Liverpool, and a Ukrainian maths professor!
After that, I had the cabin to myself and managed to get some good sleep for the remaining 12 hours.
Arrived at Kyiv train station at 5am.
Here’s the building where I’ll be spending the next three months.
YWAM Kyiv is located on the outskirts of the city, giving us the luxury of a river beach - perfect for my morning quiet time!
