Since i am so lame at sending out updates i set up one of these blog sites hoping i t would be easier for me so we'll see how this works out.
For those of you who don't know, monday evenings our team shares a large meal with about 9 or 10 students and we teach on a characteristic of God and another main teaching from the bible. last week i taught on God's graciousness and pasha taught on how Jesus says he is God and what the bible says about this. last night rebecca shared about God's goodness and Jim taught on repentance. well something happened last night that i want to share with you and ask you to pray for. Alexei, a student we have been praying for since last fall was saved last night. at the end of jim's teaching we had some questions to discuss in a small group setting. so pasha, myself, alexei and jengish-another student, starting talking about these questions and alexei was giving very nice sounding answers but something told me to ask him very boldy if he had ever repented and if not if he wanted to repent and receive salvation. so i did, not really knowing what he would say. and he said yes. so for the first time in my life i walked someone through the steps of salvation and then we prayed with him. so please rejoice with us! a lot of you have prayed for alex and let thius be an encouragement to you that God was and is listening to what you pray.
pasha and i are going to meet with him this week on wednesday or thursday to talk with him more please be praying and thanking God for what he just did and for what he will do in alexei's life. pray that God will give him understanding of the commitment he is making and what it all means. you can also pray for me that God would give me wisdom, and pasha, when we talk with him this week and in the future.
if anyone would like to know how you can pray more specifically please email me.
while i am typing this up i might as well throw a few more details in for you. our team is meeting this week and has been since last week planning our fall schedule. this will be the busiest schedule we have had in a while. i will be teaching a lot more that i ever had in the greenhouse so you can be praying for me in that area. we will send out an email, or i will, giving you more details on what we'll be doing but we have about 10 different clubs planned for the fall, including my cooking club, and every saturday we will have a different party and of course we will continue monday night teachings. that's all i got in me for now.
