St. Petersburg, Russia


What a beautiful city, St. Petersburg, Russia

Hello. Yesterday we enjoyed our opening day of partnership with ICA and it was fantastic. In the audience were people from:
• Australia
• Belarus
• Finland
• China
• Chad
• Russia
• America
• Zimbabwe

These were the ones I had a chance to meet up with during the morning other nationalities were there also that I did not have a chance to visit with. This week we will get to know a mixture of others who attend ICA while we attend various meetings. Tuesday is our first staff meeting, Wednesday Jill attends a women’s Bible study. On Friday the invitation was given out for a time of fellowship at our apartment with worship practice to follow Saturday evening. Yes, it sounds like it will be a fun week. On Thursday we will work on the legal side of our St. Petersburg registration.

We thank you for your prayers yesterday. We are honored to serve here while the regular pastors are in the states along with our normal ministry of teaching in the Bible Schools and Pastors Conferences across this part of Russia. Your prayers are so important to us. Thanks for that blessing of strength to us and our ministry.

It is a holiday here in Russia so most official offices are closed. Jill and I just returned from a three hour walk around the neighborhood to see what is about. The pictures added for this blog are from that stroll.
