Day Two
Thank you for your prayers. It is closing in on midnight here so I need to get to bed. But I wanted to let everyone know that my luggage arrived today and I received my registration just an hour ago. Quite an ordeal. But suffice for now to say that the heart of the king is in the hand of THE LORD (Prov. 21:1). I also was overwhelmed by the help of two Russian friends who were determined to help me get this taken care of tonight. More on all that later.
This is a wonderful group of pastors and wives and others involved in various full-time ministries. Several of course serve in or near Moscow. Some came hundreds of miles for the training. There is a real passion to shepherd people and to equip others to do so. They are convinced of biblical counseling. The leader of Moscow Theological Seminary gave a ringing endorsement this morning and is thrilled for what is being taught this week. What a privilege to be here.
And best of all, Alexander Timofeev and his assistant Sergei came all the way from Kirovo-Chepetsk (where our Detroit Coalition has been involved for several years) for the training. So I am enjoying some special time of fellowship with them.
It has been a long day. But a good one. God's promises have been invaluable and His nearness looms large. Aslan is on the move. Thank you again for your prayers. Continue to pray for strength, clarity in teaching, and sensitivity to the needs of all the folks attending.
Slava Bogu (Praise the Lord),
Jerry
