A trip like this suddenly crashes into the "really going to happen" category of your mind when all the bureaucratic hurdles are cleared.
Our visas have arrived, our tickets are bought, and the clock is ticking toward our December 29 departure. Our intrepid band is planning to unveil our rendition of "Teehaya noach, deevnayah noach!" (Silent Night) in Russian at the HBC Christmas Eve service. Larry, Megan, Rader and Jen are hard at work on planning games, crafts and activities for Winter Camp, and I have a bunch of material ready for preaching at camp and teaching in the Doctrine of Salvation class.
Between Camp and Class comes the main event of our trip, the many Immanuel's Child outreach events we will be part of. Please keep praying for the more than 800 Russian kids who will hear the gospel, almost all of them for the first time.
There are also plans afoot for our team to make an electronic "appearance" in church on January 9. Everything technological is ready for a final test once we're in Russia.
Thanks for praying for us!
