This Weekend…

3 months!  It's hard to believe that it is already been 3 months and at the same time has only been 3 months.  So many wonderful things have happened in such a short amount of time.  We love Saint Pete! 

The kids have adjusted well to their new school and have made several new friends.  Emme loves being in Kindergarten, speaking Russian and her ballet class.  Gideon is learning Sign Language and developing his love for drawing with one of his favorite teachers, Ms. Olga.  Please pray for Gid and Emme!

Kristie loves the new freedom gained by having both kiddos in school.  She loves being part of the schools Parent Student Organization and the Saint Petersburg International Women’s Club.

Keith is so happy to be back in Russia!  God has brought into Keith’s life 2 young men he has been able to invest in…Slava and Pasha. 

Slava is a church planter in the city of Boksitogorsk about 3 hours from St. Petersburg.  Keith has been traveling twice a month to help Slava begin a church and the Lord has blessed!  This Sunday November 7 will be the first gathering of believers for worship and Bible study.  Please pray that the Lord draws who He wants there and that a healthy reproducing congregation begins in Baksitogorsk.

Pasha is a college student Keith recently met who is a new believer.  Keith has been encouraging him to grow in his faith.  They have decided to begin a Bible study group for college students at our home on Friday evenings.  Please pray as this ministry develops it will become a light for college students and young people who live in our area of the city.

While Keith begins this new groups with Slava and Pasha, the kids and I will be spending the long weekend in Estonia visiting a dear friend.  Please pray for our family and all the many wonderful things God is doing in our lives!

Thank you for joining us in bringing hope to Saint Petersburg.  We appreciate your prayers!!!
