Our first 2 teams have arrived!  After long travels, they are on their way home to get some long awaited sleep! Thank you everyone for your prayers! Please continue to pray for the teams from CBU as they go through a 3 day training, learning about Russian history and culture, and memorizing some Russian words! The training empowers the teams to serve even better throughout the camps this month. It is amazing the difference in teams who have learned the background and culture of where they have come to serve. Subscribe to our blog to receive updates about the teams … Continue reading →
