Today we joined a group of American missions volunteers in Murmansk, Russia to help them kick off a week of English ministry. The team of 5, lead by Tim Wishon, is partnering with a local church here in Murmansk to teach English this week. They are praying that through the English classes this week they would be able to engage the participants in spiritual conversations.
Tonight was the kick-off and registration for the week of classes. When they have done this in the past they have seen young adults turnouts of about 60 people or so. That was the plan for today but we were all surprised as more than 100 people came to the registration.
It was truly amazing to see the room full of people, some even standing as we had run out of chairs. Tim explained the outline of the week and openly shared about his faith. There will be a time on Friday where they will share the gospel with those in attendance.
The group is young and diverse. It was great to see a lot of the young people we had met at the church this morning had come out to the registration, even tonight these young adults were engaging their peers in spiritual conversations.
Please join us in prayer for the classes that will take place this week. Pray that there would be spiritual conversations that come up, that there would be understanding in the hearts and minds of those who are in attendance. Pray that God would continue to provide the ability for Tim and his team to meet with these young adults and to share the love of our Lord and Savior with them.
