Experiencing Russia


"...Mum, did you take your pot with you???"

It's time to put down some news again BLE.
I just returned home from being in Belarus and Russia.
...What can i say?
It was an interesting experience. In Russia i traveled South - to Caucasus region, starting in Mineralnyye Vody. It was obvious there to see, how fragile is peace in this World and how hard it is by human means to make it work.
Jesus said: "I leave you peace; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid" /John 14:27
It is a gift to have Peace of Jesus in your heart, especially in this part of the world.
This year we waited for Spring for ages and winter still does not want to give its place to it. So, for me this trip was quite good escape from cold flying South like a birds do.
In spite of all difficulties and life's troubles people face i could see God building His Kingdom as He saves and equips His people for His work. It was very humbling experience to meet with desciples of Christ, to hear their stories of coming to faith in Him. We met many Russian brothers who understand Great Commision and who now live their lives to fulfill the task given by Lord Jesus - to go and make disciples.
