Big Day

Photos: Class picture (sadly, without the guys from Michurinsk who had to leave early) and dinner feast at the home of Vadim and Oksana Mihalin.

What a day!

We spent the morning finishing class. Good discussions of how God wants His church to function and more good connections than ever with the pastors and missionaries here.

After lunch we drove 2 hours to TCC (where Winter Camp was held) to visit the Drug and Alcohol Rehab Center. There are currently 8 or 9 people in the 2-month program. It’s all Bible study, prayer and discipleship–no psychology or medication. After tea we had a time of worship and study together where I preached briefly and answered Bible questions.

Next was dinner at Vadim’s home. Oksana prepared a delightful feast for 8 guests in addition to her family. Dinner was about 9:00 and we got to our room at the church a little before midnight.

I’m heading for bed. Todd battled a migraine headache all day. Please pray he can be back to normal tomorrow. We have the morning off, then meetings with Vadim. The evening is dinner and movie night at Jenni’s along with other Russian friends.

Thanks again for your prayers for pain management with my injured arm. God has granted me good rest each night and the ability to do everything necessary.
