Russia - October 2008
God is truly moving by His Spirit preparing the church all around the world for the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This past trip to Russia has reinforced the need to go into all the world and preach this gospel of the Kingdom. There are many throughout the world that have not heard the "good news". It is estimated that throughout Russia over 50,000 villages have not heard about Jesus. As the churches are strengthened in Russia, they are sending out missionaries throughout the vast country of Russia. It is such a joy to be part of what God is doing in this part of the world.
