Partnering Together

Derek, the student who is living with Mark Sprinkle (on our team) for a month, has developed a close friendship with a Muslim student, whom we will call "Art." Derek has tried to speak of spiritual things with Art, but finds it difficult, especially since they are usually in a group where the topic gets changed quickly. He’s been praying about how to get Art in a one-on-one conversation. Yesterday Derek came home excited to report how he got to share the whole gospel with his friend! He and Art had gotten separated from the others after a visit to the zoo, and while hanging out they read some passages from Scripture and thoughtfully discussed them. Derek and the guys in the FSR team are getting to plant lots of seeds of truth in the minds of Art and their other Russian friends. It is encouraging to see Derek’s boldness and faith grow as he prays and looks for opportunities to share. He prays every night for his friends’ salvation.

Blessings, Brad.
