We will have another opportunity to use English classes as a way to bring people together in Murmansk and share the gospel with them. The Lord has put together a team from 3 states for this trip, and it has been amazing how he has brought us together.
I was a bit disappointed that only two came to our informational meeting at Carmel Baptist for this trip. Nancy Brown and her husband Steve came just to see what our plans were. I spoke with Nancy a few days later and she indicated she was feeling led to go, but that Steve was not. The good news was that her son, Ben, was interested in coming. But that would still leave us with only 3, and I like to have a team of at least 4. So, my friend Tim Wicker sent an email to his VSC teams and through friends of friends he connected us with Linda Hargett and Rob Greathouse. Linda lives in Summerville, SC and has been to Russia many times, and better yet has used the same English teaching material we use. Rob lives in Mishawaka, Indiana and will soon begin ministering in another city in Russia. Rob has lived in Russia, and his wife is Russian. I love how the Lord connected us all together, and how each one of us love Russia, the Russian people, and have a desire to see all of them come to a saving relationship with Christ. Our God is AWESOME!!!
We had an awesome team in Murmansk, God put it together, and we are so thankful. Please pray for harvest from the work, and also for the next trip scheduled for Sept. 09, for workers and for all the details to fall into place. What an awesome God we serve.
