The Great Adventure News

The Great Adventure News is news about the Great Adventure going on with the mission teams from Four in the Fire Russia Ministries. We lead short-term mission trips to Russia where we host vacation Bible schools at churches and orphanages. We also host free medical clinics, including helping those who need them to find eye wear.

I am a non-resident full-time missionary to Russia. I lead mission teams to Russia as often as God will provide people for a team. God called me to part-time missions work in 1992, but this year (2007) He called me into full-time service. When I am in Russia with my Russian Christian brothers and sisters, I am at home. May God receive all of the glory in all that I do, and may He give me the strength to do all that to which He guides me. Even so come quickly Lord Jesus.

Arrival in Nizhnevartovsk

Nizhnevartovsk Siberia, Russia (ACN)
We have arrived, tired and sleepy. Anya is staying with a couple in one apartment and I in another apartment. We met with the children's minister, Zhenya and her husband Igor, as well as Andrei the senior pastor's assistant.

Things are going well. They have not had a team here for the children's ministry since 1992. They want to learn from us how we do things. My plans are to have Stephanie or Kelly come on the trip to Nizhnevartovsk, which is now scheduled for May 28 - June 10. It will be a wonderful trip.

This church building is beautiful and nearly as large or maybe slightly larger than CMC's building A. The team will stay in apartments with Russian families. However, if need be some may stay in the hotel, which is new and beautiful, by American standards. The cost is approximately $60/day per person.

We will travel on Wednesday to Novosibirsk where we will meet with Lyn Burkhalter's contact Joey Womble. He is arranging meetings for us on Thursday and Friday. We will return to Vladimir on Monday.
