Russia Update 1
Hi everyone,
We have had had a lot of experiences so far. On Sunday we had worship. The congregation gave me a gift for my ordination anniversary. There is a picture attached. We also had a short visit to Red Square. We will go back there to explore more of it, as well as the Kremlin.
The work of the church that has gone on here has been cut back. We will need to see what we can do to help more in the future.
We have met the people in St. Petersburg that work with ministry to Jewish people, the homeless, and with mental patients. It is amazing how much they can do with so very little.
Today we are back in Moscow. We toured the Lutheran Hour Ministries office and spoke with the workers. They have had to cut back on the workers.
