Dear Friends,
it's good to be back in Khabarovsk and over jet-lag.
We've been back for, let me count, twenty two days. It feels like
home. Oh, it is home.
I love those winter ice carvings in the city square. And look at the size of that
snowball!
People were glad to see us, and we were glad to seem therm again.
Ministry seems to continue to go forward even when we are not here.
It's good to know that God is at work, and we are the ones who join
him.
Tonya translated for a short-term missionary, an American
evangelist, at the homeless shelter. It was good to see that the
Homeless ministry continues to touch the lives of the most needy
among us.
Tonya also translated for part of a youth workers' seminar. There
was a rather good attendance. This activity was organized by
another ministry here, but held at Hope Center. It is good to have
cooperation between various organizations.
The Life-skills ministry is also active, but we are going to
re-evaluate things and perhaps try a new approach. No decisions
have been made yet please pray for us to have wisdom.
We certainly miss having Timothy around. He seems to be doing well,
but please pray for him (and us) as we are now a world apart.
In Christ,
Cecil, Tonya, Vera, and Diana
