We had a great meeting last night at Valodya's small group meeting in his home. Resurrection church has started doing several of these with their members. It was a good time of sharing concerns and prayer needs with them as well as enjoying food and laughing together. Their concerns are the same as ours. Economy, political concerns and more important how to be faithful to the Lord in reaching out with the gospel.
We were encouraged to hear of several that are in 'training' for baptism ( hope they have a heater cause it's pretty cool here).
A new alpha group is going now. This has proven to be a good tool for them. It has been consitantly useful since last January, 08.
The younger Christians are so encouraging in their zeal to serve God. They are 'nervous' but not to the point of backing down from going out to share the gospel.
We will have some of them with us as we go out next week with the Jesus film.
The seminar starts tonight. .. keep us in your prayers as we 'listen to God's voice' in strengthening them in their walk and development of their spiritual gifts.
more later from
Jack & Mark in Udmurtia
