At church last Wednesday night, My friend from Ukraine and I are trying to see how far it is from Ohio to Kiev, Ukraine.  It is somewhere around 6,000 miles.  Maybe some of you can tell me how far it actually is.  We are guessing.  Anyway, it is a long way.  I have made this trip two different times to sing there in orphanages and prisons.  Many of you heard Roma play his guitar and sing while here in the states and you will agree that he is a talented guy.  I will miss Roma when they leave tomorrow, but I am thankful for the time we have had together.  I plan to return to Ukraine in 2009.

We have just finished our 3 week tour with the singers from Ukraine.  How many of you have seen us at one of the 9 concerts we did?  Leave a comment and let us hear from you.  We have really enjoyed this time with Roma, Roza, and LeAnna.  They will be returning to Ukraine tomorrow.  Pray for them as they make this journey.  Theresa and I are sad to see them go but they have to return to their work and ministries in Kiev, Ukraine.  LeAnna and Roma made a guest appearance on my upcoming album to be released in Sept. The album is not named at this time, but will feature a new song my sister “Geniece Spencer Ingold” and I wrote.  The song is “When He Comes” and  features LeAnna Gorianska and I singing about our hearing about and finding Jesus as our Savior although our stories are so different. LeAnna can’t speak english but learned this song in english for the album. You will love this song.

I sang at Joe Nemecek’s church in Oklahoma 3 years ago.  I included experiences I had had while singing in prisons, orphanages, and schools while on mission trips to Africa. After the service, Joe came up to me and said I am going to go to Africa with you sometime. My first thought was, Yeah, I hear this all the time.  But, here he is teaching children in Rwanda, Africa on our trip with Gateway Int’l Missions in February of 2008.  

I was in Africa for 15 days earlier this year singing in the prisons.  It was my 6th time to go to Africa for the purpose of spreading the gospel through song.  I took this picture of  my good friend, Charles Styles while preaching in a prison in Uganda.  Charles lives in Uganda now and is seeing many saved in his work there.  We are both board members  and active workers for Gateway International Missions, Inc.

Theresa and I are still really busy preparing for our friends from Ukraine.  I met them while on mission trips to Ukraine.  I have worked with them in ministry to the prisons, orphanages, and schools there.  Roma and LeAnna are going to record two songs on my new album while they are here.  They will also travel and sing with me in 9 churches.  Check my appearance schedule and try to see them between June24 and July 16.
