Good News From Russia

Galina called me tonight and reported a bunch of cool events that have occurred since we did two weeks of teaching and ministering with her. First, one of our key pastors has been invited to help develop a series of classes on pastoral care and pastoral counseling. That is a miracle we have been praying for. In fact, during my visit we discussed how we might get his school to allow us to teach our materials and develop a course of study.

Second, several of our students have developed a new sense of freedom and peace with their families. One man has called his father for the first time in 30 plus years. One woman sees how the patterns developed in her grandmother and mother is still affecting her.

Please pray for the Russian people. They are wonderful folk but have been traumatized so long and so deeply that they have built a shell of protection around their hearts.
