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.

The Trip Winds Down

Dacula, Georgia (ACN)
I arrived home safely at 5:00pm on Saturday, extremely tired. This trip was physically exhausting with so much travel but it was spiritually uplifting to have God answer so much prayer in such a direct way. I am writing at 6:16 in the monring on Monday and even now I am not fully rested. I need a few more days to recover.

As I write this, it is from Stephanie's old computer. She was given a new computer from NCR, where she works, while I was roaming around Russia. It is a very fortuitous thing, since my hard drive crashed while I was in Russia. I have lost all of my contact information, so if you would ever like to be contacted by me again, please send me an email at 4inthefire.org and include your address and phone number. I have lost everything. I did not have my Outlook folders backed up, nor My Documents etc. I am an unclean man and undone! :) Or at least unwise.

So now I will spend weeks recovering everything from my corporate documentation, ministry documentation, and well you imagine. If I came to your house and deleted every file from your computer, right now, how would you recover? Backups, backups.

I sat next to a very pretty 38 year old Russian woman by the name of Elena. I spoke with her about Jesus Christ. She instantly understood and I think recognized the diagram of the human stick man separated from God by sin. She believes in God but does not beleive Jesus is who He said He was. Please be in prayer for her.

I will post more later today and tomorrow, but I must continue my hard-drive recovery. Thank you everyone for praying for us while Anya and I and the others were ministering in Russia.

Your servant,

Andy
