I can't believe that summer is over! Time has just flown by. I want to begin by thanking all of our family and friends who helped my kids have a very special summer in America! They are spoiled, but it was well worth it for them. They made lasting memories with all of you! Also, thanks to everyone who was so kind to me during my short time there! It was great to see so many faces, even if it was only for a few minutes! We are blessed to have such caring and supporting family, friends, and prayer partners! We love all of you.
I just wanted to ask you to please pray for Kellan and Ella this week as they start school. It is hard to believe that Kellan will be starting 5th grade and Ella will be going to Kindergarten! Pray that they both have GREAT years at school and learn lots of new things! They are both looking forward to it. Kellan, however, is already whining over homework!
Some of the pictures you see above are of the Enlgish Camp that I worked at this summer. God blessed that in a mighty way and we are continuing to try to reach out to the campers and build relationships with them. The other pictures are of a new ministry I am trying to learn about sponsored by one of the Russian Baptist Churches in Northern Moscow. They have a ministry to those who are addicted to drugs and alcohol. They have 16 centers where people are allowed to go for help. There they study the Bible 7 hours every day. Just over 40% of those repent during this program and many stay in the church and become leaders in various ways. Please pray for this ministry. The pictures are of 1 of the 2 adaptation centers where participants can choose to go for a few more months to live and work and continue studying the Bible. They are asking for prayers that God would provide them with the money needed to finish a needed building and buy a tractor so that they can farm the land and support all of the centers with the food grown there. I will try to share more about this ministry later. Just begin praying for them!
