Rusland

Well a lot has happened in the last two weeks. We left Poland and moved on to Russia. It was a very smooth boarder crossing. Lily our translator came with us and it was so nice to have someone to communicate for us. It only took three and a half hours this year. We had a service right away that night. It was so good to get right into the Russian churches. I love the Russian people. They are very welcoming. All it took was a couple of smiles hugs and kisses from them and I was hooked. They are so eager to share there love for the Lord with you. We went back to the church in Tula that was bombed last year(if you haven't heard about this story yet, I'll tell you later). They have almost completed the building and the pastor shared more of the Lord's working in the growth and revival of the church through the event. We also went to the Moscow church that Sasha's is from. We had a great service and had a good time playing and singing along with them after the service. We spent several night listening to the pastors tell stories of the Lord's protection over them while in prision and also some that were saved from the arms of the Soviets. It was such a great experience to be able to get to know these people and learn from them. Praise the Lord a couple people recieved salvation at some of our servises. It was a real blessing to fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ in Russia. Thank you for your prayers. The Lord gave so much protection throught he boarder and also on the crazy roads. Love, Gracen
