Preparing to go...

Thanks for visiting our blog.  Our team is leaving within the week for Russia.  We have seen God provide so much since October when we started this journey.  Thank you for those of you God has used to impart His grace to us through your giving and your prayers.  We have been truly blessed throughout this process.  We are truly excited to see how God will move as we work with and build relationships with orphans in St. Petersburg. 


Now that we are preparing physically to leave, please continue praying for us.  Pray that we continue to remember spiritual preparations and make them a priority within the stress of packing and planning.  Also pray for God to guide us and to use us for His glory.  Pray for the children, teenagers, and adults we will meet.  Pray that they will be open to Christ and us and will be prepared to receive the Gospel.  Pray for unity and flexibility among the team members.


Please check back here during our trip.  Members of our team will be posting what God is teaching them during this trip and will be posting more specific prayer needs.
