Off To A Great Start






Lori met the team early for a fun morning of souvenir shopping. Janice got the "super shopper award"! We had a lot of fun.
At 4:00 we met at Good News Church for a time of fellowship with the Gulovinski Church. Our Russian friends had worked hard to prepare a delicious meal for us. They had also prepared a slideshow to show how the church has developed since the last Crestview team was here. It was fun to see how God has worked to build his church in that region. We had a special prayer time together in English and in Russian. It was a really neat time of praise for how God is working in both the Gulovinski Church and Crestview Church. An elderly lady named Anastasia said, "Even though we speak different languages, we are united because of Christ. We are brothers and sisters in the family of God".
Please continue to pray as relationships develop and ministry continues. The group will attend church today and then tonight we will have a baby shower for Genady's wife, Vica, and for Sasha's wife, Katia. Katia is due in 10 days and Vica in 3 weeks. Pray for them and for the healthy birth of their babies.
Monday we will spend the day prayerwalking and preparing for literature distribution that we will do all day Tuesday. We will be passing out thousands of tracts in our region on Tuesday.
Please continue to pray for Joy. She was a little better yesterday and was able to get out for half the day.
