Cecil spent a night at the Dacha, so we know it is warm and cozy and livable.
He lit the stove...
The stove works, the outhouse is usable, the beds are soft. Well, at least the first two are true.
And the porch is painted.
Most of our ministries are being slowed down or paused for the summer, especially with orphan outreach. However, we hope to have ministry at the dacha begin. Please pray for us to have good partnership with the national church in regards to this. This is a project we've been working on for a long time.
We will be heading out for a conference and meetings with our leadership in a few days. We should have internet, but don't expect next-day replies while we are on the road. Some serious issues will be discussed during the conference regarding the work in Russia. Please pray for our leadership, us, and other workers to have wisdom. Some decisions will need to be made.
Blessings,
Cecil, Tonya, and the girls
