In a few short hours I'll be heading to Moscow, Russia. For over a year now I've been thinking and planning for this trip. Paul Richardson, of the Center for Creative Ministry, graciously invited me to join him in presenting an Urban Ministry Conference to the Pastors in the Moscow Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.
The Urban Conference runs from Monday, October 13 to Wednesday, October 15. In addition, I'll be speaking in two of the churches in Moscow on Sabbath, October 11 and 18 and to a gathering of lay leaders on Sunday, October 12. All in all, that's a lot of speaking. It's been fun to organize my thoughts and I look forward to interacting with these pastors and churches.
Please pray for us as we travel. My wife, Elysabeth, is able to go with me on this trip, which makes it so much more exciting. We'll get a little time to tour around Moscow and hopefully St. Petersburg.
I will have some time on the internet so check back here for mid-trip updates. If you want to follow our experiences on Twitter, you can follow me here. Babette will also be Twittering here.
Wave to Governor Palin for me while you're there! Oh yeah, and we'll be praying for you. :)
