Josh and I will be in Ukraine for 10 days, then leave Ben at a Christian camp in Sumy, Ukraine where our SEND missionaries, the Paetkaus minister. He'll help out for 2 1/2 weeks or so. Meanwhile, Josh and I will join Mark in Belgium. Then we'll all meet up in Prague at our dear friends' the Dagens - missionaries. Ben and Josh will then go to an MK camp with the Dagen daughters for 5 days in Czech Rep - a camp connected with their International Church in Prague. We parents will hang out and sip coffee :).
