I’ve only been up an hour or so… I’d been up more than 40 hours with only an hour or two of sleep – so as the day got started in Kiev on Friday I decided to get some sleep.<\/p>\n
So, while I really don’t have all the information available yet – I’ll give you what I have.<\/p>\n
Today has been a much<\/strong> better day. We have staff from Adventist Risk Management as well as a person who, as I understand it, was the Union president some years ago on the ground managing the search and organizing things.<\/p>\n The search has had many more people available to help, and all on the same task. I’m told [though this could certainly turn out not to be the case] that they think they will have thoroughly searched the park area by the end of the day today. [Kiev is 10 hours ahead of us here on the US West coast. So, right this minute it’s 8p in Kiev.]<\/p>\n The latest word I have is that Jay has not been found, but things have been really making dramatic progress today.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, dramatic progress may well not mean we’ve found him – but I’m highly encouraged.<\/p>\n Finally, we want to give the highest thanks for Sergi [the Union Health Ministries director], as well as the many, many others who are taking their time and energy to assist. We are exceptionally grateful. Thanks!<\/p>\n Please keep everyone, the family, the searchers and particularly Jay, in your prayers.<\/p>\n I’ll update more as the day ends and as we know our situation and needs for tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve only been up an hour or so… I’d been up more than 40 hours with only an hour or two of sleep – so as the day got started in Kiev on Friday I decided to get some sleep.
