It’s hard to believe that I have been here for almost a month! Time has gone by so quickly, I still feel like I just got here. This week was very similar to last week. With the exception of Tuesday and Wednesday I went to the school camp during the day. At camp I spent time playing outside with the kids, drawing with them, or whatever else they were doing. There are a couple of them in particular that I spend most of my time with. Every night I went to the TB center and played outside with the kids. … Continue reading →

Although we missed our heart language during worship, it was beautiful to hear voices raised in worship, in a foreign place! The message was translated into English, and spoke so directly to each one of us. We read from Mark 16, the Great Commission! The afternoon was spent at Tanya Mendakoff’s home.

Another update from the CBU team in Novgorod: I (Kristi) am pleased to tell you that our team has survived (and thrived) in our first week of minsitry in the transit centers here in Novgorod.

So many of these children and teenagers come from unfathomable backgrounds, and our team has begun to feel the emotional repurcusions of this ministry. Please pray that we would continue to press … Continue reading →
