Our way from Kiev to Chernigov was not as long and hard a journey as we had previously experienced. We are not always accompanied by a favourable wind. But by God’s grace, when we have had to cover long distances we have had a favourable wind. The distance between the two cities is only 120 km, but when we left Kiev for Chernigov, the road appeared to be 170 km long. The road was good, straight and even, with two travel ways and we created no problem for the cars. [Continue reading Meeting Unbelievers at Camp …]

Arising at 4 a.m., we sped along to make it in time to the morning worship service at Grace Church in Kiev. At the entrance to the town we were met by N. I. Ponomarev, the pastor of the church. It was at Grace Church where the idea of missionary youth bike rallies originated, and we borrowed it. The first bike rally of such kind started in Kiev several years ago. At that time, our friends traveled through Ukraine in a cross-like pattern, i.e. starting from Kiev in four different directions — north, south, west and east — with four teams.

Map It
Our last day in Ukraine. The journey and the border with Russia lay ahead. We got up at 6:00 in the morning and had breakfast at 7:00. Then we prepared our bicycles and started at eight. We were to cover 230 km, and we had time limits. The new time zone we were entering made it even more problematic for us. We lost one hour. After 100 km, we reached the border line.
