Back to Kyshtym

Dan and I are leaving in about an hour and a half for the bus station. We'll take a bus to the city of Kyshtym, not far from our campsite. Someone will meet us there and we'll go by car to camp. We're excited to go back to friends & conversations we were "in the middle of", so to speak, and next week to see so many old friends at the National Student Conference. But we're also both fighting colds and feeling very tired. So please pray that we would have energy and that our bodies would heal! Here's our schedule & a couple of prayer requests for the next two weeks:

* This weekend (July 18-20) we'll join the evangelism camp already in progress for the last few days. Pray that non-Christian students would accept the gospel and/or continue to be involved in Heaven's Open Church or CCX (the national student movement).

* Next week (July 20-27) is the CCX national conference. We'll be seeing old friends on staff and hanging out with staff and students. This is a difficult time for the student movement here - staff numbers are shrinking and pay for staff was just cut due to lack of income. Pray for the staff and student leaders from around the country to be re-engergized and refreshed by their time together. And pray for new partners for CCX! (Let us know if you're interested - we can get you connected!)

* The following week (July 27-August 3 - ish) we'll be going to Chelyabinsk to spend time with Pr. Ilya and others from Heaven's Open church and CCX. Pray that we will be good listeners and encouragers. Pray also that we would be able to pave the way for a team from Alleluia! to come next summer.

In early August we'll head back to Ekaterinburg, but we'll be offline probably until then. We LOVE hearing from folks so please comment or send us an email. And we do rely on prayer, so please pray.

Blessings,
Lucy (and Dan)
