What is going on with us!

Hello to all it has been awhile since I have sent out an update. We are doing okay beside a virus that is going around right now! Jonny is the first to get it but I am sure it will be passed around. Please pray for him he has a high temp of 103.

Well we started school! Joshua is in the second grade and Mickey the first grade! I cannot believe it. It is a bit slow starting but I guess that is a blessing with home school!

The fires here in Russia have died down a bit, we still have some smoke but it is definitely not as thick as it has been the last few weeks. The summer heat wave was crazy! It was in the 90's and super humid. But we made it through it! It only became difficult when we had the smoke because there was no air conditioning so we had to open our windows and then we were breathing the smoke. We were trying to be creative but you can only do so much! So that is improving. Please pray for the thousands who have lost their homes here in Russia. The rainy season is coming and by October it will be pretty chilly already. Pray for them please! Also for those who have lost their loved ones in these fires pray that the churches will reach out and people will know Jesus through this tragedy! Today is our first cool day, it dropped to the 70's today so praise the Lord for that!

Next Tuesday, the 24th, the Bible College will begin. Last semester we had one official student. This semester we have three, more than doubled! We are excited to see that the Lord is working out all the details for each semester. It has been a learning experience for us with paperwork and how it all works, but the Lord is bringing Jason through this time. PLease pray for this next semester! Praise the Lord for what he is doing!

Also, we have been praying for the last two years for a Russian to come and pastor the church in Kolchugino. Well at the end of September their will be a couple that will move to Kolchugino and take over the church. We are excited that the Lord has provided, but it also is difficult to let go of the ministry there. Thank you for all your prayers. This will make doing the Bible College a little easier as we will not have to travel to Kolchugino twice a week come October. Please be praying for this transition. The church in Kolchguino is growing and people who used to come have begun to come again. The last few weeks we have had 30 people at the church!! Iwill do a seperate entry on this couple with their photo so you can hear more of their story on how the Lord has lead them to Kolchugino.

Please continue to pray for our need for a vehicle! Thank you to all of those who faithfully support the ministry so we can be on the missions field. And to those who support Victoria so she can serve in the hospitals and teach the women about the effects of abortion!

ON August 21st- we have our 7 year anniversary in Russia!! Thank you Lord for your faithfulness!
