We already worshiped this morning with our friends at Truth Baptist Church. This is the church where we have been staying. It is four stories, and we "live" on the top story. It is bustling with activity! There's always SOMETHING going on here whether it's camp, or Bible Study, or seemingly constant services, or Antioch Initiative classes which begin tomorrow. This place is a hub for the gospel. With Vadim as pastor and Anatoly as director for the region, there are exciting things happening! They have a vibrant youth ministry, an orphanage ministry, a rehab center, and an active dormitory. For as many cultural differences as there are, this place feels remarkably familiar, a home away from home. It is neat how the Spirit bonds us together in unity. You can see us on stage singing "Tee Ha Ya Noach"--we've definitely gotten some mileage out of that song. For as many neat things as are going on here, they need our help! Imagine Heritage Bible Church trying to reach the whole Boise area all alone. The resources would run thin in a hurry...and keep in mind that there are eight other coalition churches that need our prayer and support as well. There is a stark difference between this church and the other coalition churches that we visited. This one is new and modern; the others are much smaller and older, but the Word of God is being preached! What a privilege to come alongside these believers in prayer and resources!
