teams visiting

Dear Friends,

We've had more teams visit us this fall than ever before.  One team was meeting physical needs, such as giving reading glasses.


Here is a lady at the drug rehab in need of glasses.  She is testing her eyes by reading from a John 3:16 reading chart (in Russian).

They also did some Christian teaching.



Another team was meeting housing needs by doing work at the Christian Homeless Shelter.





This really helped the shelter to meet some pressing needs, such as repairing and painting beds.  The team also re-roofed a church (just in time for the Fall rains).

We really want to commend both teams.  It's a long way to come to be with us, they all worked hard, and it was work to build the Lord's Kingdom.

The Russian church invited the work team to their annual Harvest Festival.  A great time was had by all!



Other ministries(such as Movie nights and Game nights for orphans) continued while they were here, and are ongoing now.  Please pray for all our ministries. 

Please pray for us to have wisdom.  Cecil will need to return to the States sometime for a medical evaluation (not urgent, but important).  Our son, Timothy, will be returning to us in Russia while we work out a new educational plan for him.  All the various issues of life continue.

In Christ,
The Eshelman Family
