we're on the move again, speaking in churches (and wherever folks invite us). From the islands of the Outer Banks of North Carolina to the Smoky Mountains and back, we've been traveling. While we were going through Missouri on our way to Missionary Renewal, we even got some of our faces in a local newspaper, standing next to a statue of a dog named Old Drum. We'll try to scan it sometime and share that story with you.
During Missionary Renewal, the kids got to make new friends and meet old ones among the other Missionary Kids. The MK program run by the Assemblies of God World Missions is a really good one (the summer program is called ISMK - International School of Missionary Kids). So they had a great time.
Diana got to sit over the dunk tank during a party.
This is the second of our three mini-itinerations. Cecil can't be outside of Russia for more then six months, or he will lose his resident permit, so we've plans to go back to Russia in November. Until then, we will visit as many churches as possible. If you'd like us to come to your church or home group, just let us know.
Please pray for the volunteer team back in Khabarovsk, as they continue to minister without us. And please pray for us as we travel and raise funds to live in Russia.
Blessings!
The Eshelman Family - Cecil, Tonya, Timothy, Vera & Diana
