Days 11&12- Our Farewells

We write to you from the Moscow airport. We have heavy hearts as we leave our brothers and sisters in Russia-but are excited at the same time to see how the Lord will use our trip and our testimonies at home! On Saturday we had our regular devotions and breakfast and then headed out to the streets for more evangelism. We had another mini concert and passed out invitations to the Sion concert that night. For lunch we were blessed by Yulia Fadness's Mom (Vera) with lunch and fellowship at her home. We then proceeded to the church to prepare for the concert. At the concert a handful of new youth came-pray for them! It was a great night and great fellowship, we even got up as a group and performed Waves of Mercy which was a huge hit :)

Sunday morning we had our last breakfast at the church together. Pastor Ron shared the Word from 1 John 1 and we got up as a team again and performed Waves of Mercy and hand motions :) During the second service the team joined the prayer meeting that takes place every Sunday. It was a precious time of seeking the Lord. It will bless you to know that they pray for Calvary Chapel Pocatello EVERY Sunday!!!!! We then ate lunch at the church, had fellowship, and then Pastor Ron, Darby, Jerry, and Ismael went to visit a couple of people in city center. While Rick prepared to teach the youth and Marti and Christine stayed behind to attend the youth meeting. We then had a big huge gathering of everyone as we welcomed the new team that came from Lynchburg Pennsylvania, Natasha from Africa, Sasha and Sveta from St. Petersburg, plus our beloved body members. We had a time of worship and then proceeded to fellowship and share a meal together. We did not go to sleep as we packed and had to leave at 1 AM to head to Moscow since traffic is so bad. We are now at the Moscow airport. We arrived early, Praise the Lord! Please pray for those that we were able to minister to, plant seeds, and overall the church body in Russia. Also pray for traveling mercies as we travel today! Sending lots of love to you from your beloved team, we are excited to share with you what the Lord has done for each of us and what He showed us through His love these last two weeks!
