| | My email doesn't work... i can't post anything on xanga or facebook... sorry that i have been mia. it's rare for me to come to the internet cafe here.
i wrote an email to pc and hopefully he will send it out to everyone. but just in case.. here it is:
hello pastor charles,
how are you??
I'm doing really well here in russia. life here is really simple and
fun. I teach during the day and at night i would just read and enjoy
my time with God and my friends.
i'm very well supported here spiritually, emotionally and physcally.
The diretor of the school and his wife treats me like a son. hahaha i
also attend to a russian church with two of my english speaking
friends. There are translators at the church so we could understand
the sermons without too much problem.
it's really interesting at this church. every sunday the pastor would
ask the new comers to stand up so that people would get to know them.
then he would ask if they are saved. if they are he would say praise
God! otherwise he would just out there and then, ask them if they
would like to receive Christ into their heart! i thought that was
reallyl interesting. i have already known three people got saved that
way! it's was quite amazing! at first i thought whether if they were
serious about it... but then my friend told me that a lot of people
were saved that way and they have been coming to the church frequently
after their conversion... so i thought that was really encouraging.
i also attend the small group from that church, even though is hard to
understand them, but at least we usually have a translator there
too... praise God!
i have a lot of chance to share the gospel especially to the students,
but the language barrier made it really hard for me to share. so
please pray for me that i would be able to learn russian quickly in
order to convey the love of God to them. as for the teachers....
about 50% of them aren't christians. we have this weekly Bible study
with the them and some of the non-believers would join us durig this
time. Anna, Mary and I (the english speaking teachers) are the
leaders and would prepare for the study. please pray for the
preparation and just the heart of those peope who attend to the Bible
study.
i feel like have been growing a lot already since i got here. God has
been working in and through my life in a very vivid way. praise God!
Thank you guys so much for your prayer support. please continue to
pray for me so that you may join God's work together with me as one
body in Christ even though you guys are not here, but our God is here,
and He listens to people who would humble themselve and seek after
Him.
I see Hope in russia. the harvest is definitely plenty, but the
workers are few. please at least join me in prayer so that God will
continue to move in this land.
anyways, i hope all is well with you guys. please forward this email
to the church body. thanks guys!
