Our Visa Trip to Ukraine!

Thanks to everyone who faithfully prayed for us and provided financially during our visa renewal process! We had a wonderful time visiting with our friends, the Hunsuckers, while waiting for our applications to be processed! Though the slideshow is lengthy, we couldn't leave out any of these! Enjoy!

A Time to Rejoice~

We are happy to attach a slideshow of Andrei's recent baptism. He repented several years ago but was not willing to face his fear of water (from his years in the orphanage) to be baptized. In the Lord's perfect time, Andrei faced his fear, walked out in the very cold water with boldness and had victory as he followed the Lord Jesus' example in Believer's baptism. We are rejoicing with him in this and believe the Lord will build Andrei's faith as a result of giving this fear to Him!
The recorded choir song is with Andrei and the Golgotha choir singing in church the day after his baptism...It's one of his favorites and is about God's forgiveness.

Giving Thanks!

Praise the Lord, He has once again allowed us to receive visas to stay in Russia  (at least until August 30th)!  We had a wonderful trip to Ukraine, visiting with friends while waiting for the paperwork to be processed.  We are so grateful for all of you who have prayed for us during this holding time.  
We have some wonderful pictures to put in a slideshow that we hope to post sometime this week.
Until then, know that we are back in Russia with grateful hearts!
