Mission Monday with the Havertapes

We have not written an update the last couple of Mondays. Please forgive us. We have had an exciting last few weeks with lots of teams, visiting with a family who used to live here in Russia and also preparing for the Bible College to begin as well as preparing for our family’s home school to begin. Whew!!!!!!

It was such a blessing to spend time with the teams this summer. Our family specifically spent a lot of time with the Calvary Chapel Cerritos team. The team went on the streets everyday and passed out flyers to a concert and also shared the Gospel with many on the streets of Vladimir. On Sunday night of their weeklong stay here we held a concert downtown. There was a pretty good turn out and so many came up to us and spoke to us after the concert with many questions about the Gospel and about Jesus Christ. Praise the Lord.

Over the month of July we spent three weeks traveling to Kolchugino to teach there. It was such a blessing to spend so much time with the family there that we miss so dearly. Please continue t pray fro the church body there and the Pastor and his wife as they continue to grow in ministering in what God has called them to do.

The last two Sundays August 14^th and the 21^st, Jason has been traveling to Sobinka, another city closer to Vladimir to teach while the Pastor is away for two weeks. We have been blessed to be able to travel to the different churches and share with the people in the fellowship and encouragement through God’s Word. It also has been a blessing for me (Britny) to lead worship again in these churches as I have had a long break from that.

Today was officially our first day of Home School in the Havertape household. I have three students officially this year YIKES! So as you open this email Monday morning for you I will be winding down and going to bed early I am sure J

The Bible College begins tomorrow morning. Our Students have all arrived and are all arranged in their housing situation for this semester. We are so blessed that each semester the college grows by one or two students! The school of Correspondence is also growing in number. More and more people are hearing of the school and the desire is growing to attend the Bible College. We have three official correspondence students and six students studying on campus. Praise the LORD!!!!!

Please continue to pray for the College and the financial aspect of the College. We are still trying to raise funds for one of our students. We are $1,250.00 shy of her semester tuition (which includes her room and board). If you would like to contribute to her Bible College education please contact us at cckrussia@gmail.com
