A Monday Full of PossibilitiesWe had another wonderful Sunday in Krasnoarmeysk, and that has left us excited about tomorrow. We worshipped with the congregation in Krasnoarmeysk and finalized our plans to teach adult Bible Classes during the week. The brothers and sisters have requested that we teach on worship, enduring trials (this congregation has showed tremendous endurance), and reaching out to children (they are trying to build a strong children's Bible class program). We will be discussing those topics and also using the "Newcomer's Guide to the Bible" book provided by EEM. We have copies in Russian, so it will be easy for them to share with friends.Tomorrow will be a busy day. At 11:00, we will do a VBS at the Novosholone orphanage, which the Krasnoarmeysk congregation has done some work with in the past. Then, we will meet with the Mayor and other city officials at 2:00. In the past, Mt. Juliet has been officially named a "sister city" of Krasnoarmeysk, and we are seeking to re-establish that connection. After that meeting, the mayor will take us to a smaller orphange within the city limits. There, we will be able to teach and hand out Bibles. This is an important meeting for many reasons. First of all, it will allow Sasha (the new preacher) to meet the important governmental officials, which will help the congregation in Krasnoarmeysk immensely. As they search for a new place in which to meet and new ways to reach out to the community, having the help of the government will be invaluable. Secondly, it will give us openings into local orphanages and hospitals. Imagine this - the government is escorting us into an orphanage, and we will be leaving Bibles with the children! This will open the door for new outreach programs for Sasha, as he works to help the congregation. As you can understand, we are excited and hopeful. God is really opening a door for us! We spent the evening with the congregation at Proletarski. 4 of the children who had never visited the congregation but attended VBS last week were back for both morning and evening services! That was encouraging to us. Also, several of the ladies from Budyonofski came to visit. This was the group our ladies spoke to last night. As we have learned so often over the past week, plans can change quickly. Please be prayerful that these plans will come to fruition and we can make some real progress for the church here. Thank you for your thoughts, and we will let you know how everything goes. We love you!

Greetings MJ team! How is everyone? It sounds like you're going to bed late and rising early, but such is the nature of mission work : ) I am so excited to hear about all the great work that is being done in the Ukraine! Oh how I wish I could be there helping! Stay focused on your goals and keep up the good work! You are in my prayers. By the way, have you really only had Russian food one time? You really should try to avoid eating American food while you're there--just don't get sick! Ha ha. Well that is all for now. Love, Elizabeth Pelfrey
P.S. Andrew, I'm sure you've probably heard it a million times now, but happy late b-day, big 2-5! # posted by
