Return to ILC

For those of you unfamiliar with the acronym, ILC stands for International Learning Center. This was the place inRichmond, VA where we did our initial 8-week training time way back in 2005. We have been spending the week here for our stateside conference. We've had a good time of training and refreshment, as well as just hanging out with some of our colleagues that we haven't seen for a while. Andrew's routine has been a little disturbed, so he's been having some adjustment issues. Pray for him, and for us, as we try to give him the stability he needs as we do so much traveling.

Pray also for us as we continue our speaking engagements. Next Sunday we will be speaking at The Foundry church in Wallingford, PA. They're doing some really interesting things there, especially with the arts - music and drama and such. Pray for us as we speak that God would call out new partners from this church.

Again, as a reminder, keep praying for us as we seek to develop a strategy to reach Vladivostok. We also want to ask that you would pray for our future team. We'll be going there on our own, but we pray that God will quickly form a team of Russian believers, as well as colleagues from the States to come and be a part, not only long-term IMB personnel (International Mission Board, for those lost in the acronyms), but also those who come on a short term basis. Perhaps even some of you will come join us! Pray for God to build up our team just as He desires, and that those who hear His call would respond without reservation.
