We have a great team this year and everyone is getting pumped to go. Week #1 team leaves on Friday @ 5PM! The team is larger than the past 2 years. It is large enough for the Russian Kompas team (aka. Campus Crusade for Christ) to create 6 classes (instead of 5)! This is the most English class offerings yet.

Not only are there 6 classes, but they are all in the same building. Which is a blessing because it makes the travel arrangements soooo much easier. I am sure this is a load off Darin's mind (the Kompass director).

Ways to pray:

1. That more students than ever will hear the gospel and respond!
2. Enough students enroll to fill the 6 classes
3. That the classrooms will remain available for both weeks (sometimes managers get scared or intimidated)
4. Students continue with the classes (some always drop out)
5. Several team members have had personal and family crisises, pray for health and peace for them
6. Travel safety and all connections are made
7. God can do "exceeding abundantly beyond what we ask or think"; so pray that we think BIG and ask BIG!

A great big thank you to all who have given to and prayed for this trip already! Keep it up!!!!

The students in Ekaterinburg Russia have a website with some photo albums. Be warned, it is all in Russian but the album links are pretty obvious. You will see, in English, "Talk the Talk"; that is what the English classes are called that we host.

God bless you and may He get all the glory and honor due to Him in Russia and here in America.
