we're back in the States and spending time with family before we start to travel. We arrived safe and sound with all the luggage! We've bought a van and a cell phone. We have new prayer cards. Take a look-
In an effort to get over jet-lag, we've been going on hikes in the mountains. We thought that would keep the kids awake. Pretty good idea, but didn't work every time.
Next week we'll attend a family reunion, then we'll head east to our "home area" in North Carolina. After being outside the States for almost three years now, we're going through a touch of culture shock (or "reentry shock"). Some things are so different.
Soon we will be traveling, speaking in churches, visiting folks and raising support for the ministry in Russia's Far East. Back in Khabarovsk a team of local volunteers will be keeping the ministry going. Plans are for us to return to Russia in December. Please pray for the team in Russia to be empowered for the work.
We have an American cell phone now. If you want the number, just send me an email.
Please pray that we can find a place to rent while we stay in North Carolina. Right now we're not sure what our address will be.
We hope to see you soon.
Here's an short story of a Russian inventor who ended up killed by his own invention.
This is perhaps the strangest trial I've ever tried to follow. It is a trail of a female punk-rock band that interrupted an Orthodox Church service to sing a song about President Putin.
Blessings,
