October 27th Jill and I board a plane in Seattle to continue our 17 year journey of missions in Russia. Between November and January we will travel to four regions of Russia. Most weekends you can find us in St. Petersburg where we will minister at the International Christian Assembly while their pastors are in the states renewing visas. However,in December we will spend three weeks going to the southern part of Russia where our teaching ministry will take place at three different regional schools.
On each of these trips we will teach or preach over 32 hours in a four day span of time. It is difficult to maintain your energy level except for the fact that those who attend these sessions are so excited to hear the Word of God. Their excitement rubs off on us, making it a pleasure to serve in this manner.
This picture is from one of the groups I taught last year and where we again will teach in December. These are great students – most of them serve as full time pastors or church leaders.
Here is our teaching schedule for the South of Russia during the month of December:
-Krosnodar, Dec. 1-5
-Mihalovka, Volgograd Dec. 8-12, and
-Ufa, Dec. 15-19
(For something fun and challenging to do with your children; try and find these three locations on a map or do a web-search. This will also help your children understand missions better!)
Jill and I want to thank you again for your partnership. Without you we can not go and serve!
