Russia Mission

In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:4-6

A whole year has *almost* passed, we're just a few days away from our 1st anniversary, and another Russia trip is upon us! This year we will leave on June 11th and return to America on August 11th, giving us 10 weeks in Russia. We're excited about seeing friends over there soon and so glad that you'll be praying for us and keeping in touch!

What we will be doing:

We will spend our 10 weeks mentoring, teaching, listening, encouraging, and strengthening church leaders and Christian workers in the Ural mountain regions of Russia. This will take place through seminars, conferences, church services, one-on-one discussion and personal friendships. Specifically we will focus on serving alongside two churches, Heaven’s Open Church in Chelyabinsk and Living Word Church in Yekaterinburg. We’ll also be part of one, possibly two, camps that the Christian student movement, CCX (Fellowship of Christian Students), will host.

How you can pray:

Pray that God will give us wisdom in making choices about where and how to spend time.

Pray that God will use us to give encouragement, strength & vision to the Christians we spend time with.

Pray for good cross-cultural understanding & humility, especially as we teach God’s word.

Pray that God will provide the financial resources needed, especially for the student camp.

How you can give:

Simply write “Russia Mission” on your love offering envelope or give your check, made out to “Alleluia”, directly to Pr. Dan.
