So, the English camp is over, and now we've taken the train to Rostov-on-Don, where most of our students were from. Tonight we have a sort of kick-off rally at a central school. Tomorrow, our team will split up and tour several of the schools that were represented at the camp. We're not sure how it will go, but God knows, and He'll present us with the opportunities He wants us to have. Pray that we'll be placed in English classes with students who will understand a lot of what we have to say. Pray that we'll be able to connect with them. Pray that we'll be able to share our testimonies in ways that are brief and culturally meaningful. Pray that we won't become weary in doing well and our tempers won't be short. This is our last chance to minister to these kids.
Most of all, we'll be talking to these kids about the group Student Venture, the high school arm of Campus Crusade, that has an awesome group of Russian teens and twenty-somethings ministering here in Rostov. We've been watching these guys and girls work for the last several days and they have amazing energy and a heart for reaching young Russians. Many of them came to Christ through these same English camps and visits by American students and Russian Christians to the schools. The Lord of the harvest has sent his workers here... pray that He'll use us to produce abundant fruit!

What a blessing this blog has been to those of us back here in the States! Not only has it helped me feel reassured that everyone is safe and well (or mostly well), but it has helped me know how to pray. Thanks so much to those who have worked hard to make this trip possible and meaningful to the Russian and American kids. We'll keep praying.
