Greetings from Perm, Russia!

Praise God! We made it to our new home in Perm!

We have been waiting years for this time in our lives. We can sense the Holy Spirit with us, guiding us, blessing us.

It's been a little over a week since we left Moscow. We completed the work project at the dorm with just enough time, money, and workers. Thanks to your prayers, no one got seriously hurt and illness never became an issue. God gave us exactly what we needed when we needed it.

A couple days after finishing the project we said goodbye to our new friends at the dorm and set out for Perm. We squeezed all of our stuff into a small cabin on the train and settled in for our 22-hour ride. When we arrived the church was waiting, ready and willing to haul all of our stuff to our new flat (apartment). Their attitudes were awesome, we felt so loved. During our first church service I shared the story of how God led us to Perm. We were all excited to be reminded of the ways God called us to be here. The church was obviously encouraged to hear our stories.

Now that we are settled in we will set our focus on the upcoming outreach concerts. The team from Calvary Chapel McMinnville arrives in about a week. Our first concert (of 4) will be on the 19th of this month. Please keep our team in prayer as they head this direction. Pray for their safe travel good health and positive attitudes. Please continue to pray that people will come to Christ. Pray for protection. Pray that the word of God would be clearly preached.

We have several other pictures of our time in Moscow, that will soon be on our new web/blog site.

We love you all!
