PRAY!!!!

We are starting our last full day here in Murmansk. We have had a wonderful time meeting new people, visiting universities, and teaching our conversational English classes. We have made many new friends, and reconnected with old friends. Now comes our most important day. Today in our English classes we will share our own stories of what Christ means to us, and we will share the Gospel and how they can have the same hope that we have. Please, wherever you are right now, pray for us. Pray that the Holy Spirit will speak through us, pray for wisdom in knowing exactly what to share, pray that those who are listening will hear with their heart and mind, pray that the Holy Spirit will convict them of their need for a savior.

We know that we do nothing other than share. We know that God does the convicting, and calling, and changing. We trust Him, and know that He is faithful, and that He desires that none perish but that all come to a saving knowledge of Him. This is our great desire today. To be used by the Lord as His messengers, to share the greatest gift in the whole world. Pray for us to boldly tell this story.

Our pictures today are a combination of our classes in the afternoon at the church and the evening at the hotel. We are so thankful for the Golgotha Church. We had planned on having all our classes there, but the Lord brought us more than we could accomodate there. But it has been a blesssing to have the afternoon classes there, and it has freed up some space for our evening classes.

I am not sure if we will be able to have another post to our blog while we are in Russia. We will finish up our classes late tonight, then have a 7am flight to Moscow. We will have an afternoon there, then a 6am flight back to the states. I hope to be able to post from the dorm where we are staying in Moscow, we will see. If you do not see any updates, please pray for safe return travel.

Thank you again for your prayers. We have seen the Lord answer them while we have been here. We praise God for you, and we offer all the glory to Jesus our Lord.
