St. Petersburg, Russia
October 11 - 21, 2007

The trip was a wonderful success. The Lord was absolutely amazing in all that He accomplished.

The joy of working with brothers and sisters in Christ with varied background is a gift of the Lord itself. I think it is a preview of life in Heaven as being a part of the true Body of Christ. The Lord orchestrated all of our uniquely gifted talents and abilities to perform the most beautiful melody.

In this magnificent concert I heard the chorus of humility, servanthood, caring, love, and new life in Christ.
We passed out Bibles, taught Bible lessons,
conducted arts and crafts, distributed humanitarian aide,
and shared the Gospel
at 9 orphanages, 2 baby homes, and 2 hospitals.

Each home had a between 40 and 70 children. Our ministry reached out to each child and their care givers.
 The opportunities were endless,
even at the hotel and on the street there were opportunities
to share the love of Christ with others.

Please pray for Ramone; he operated a small kiosk at our hotel. We talked to him almost everyday. He is having some problems at home, his marriage needs healing. I told him how loving Christ is one night and gave him a Bible in his native tongue. He was moved to tears. He was amazed that a stranger would give him a gift.
Please pray that he will read God's word and that the Holy Spirit will move in his heart and lead him into salvation.
