Siberia - 2010
On April 15 we landed in Novosibirsk Siberia at 5:30 a.m. Pastor Dave was preaching in a Missions Bible School at 9 a.m. that morning for three hours. Thus, our trip to Siberia began. Pastor ministered in four different churches, two different rehab centers and two different Bible schools throughout our stay. He preached a total of 24 hours during our stay. The theme to the churches was God loves them just as much as He loves Jesus. We got to see some old friends, Pastor Anton & Natasha in Iskitim, and we got to meet some new friends in a new city, Novokuznetsk--which was a five hour drive from Novosibirsk.
