Russia in two lenses

The Pennsylvania team leaves for St. Petersburg

The two weeks in Russia held enormous significance. Two themes God revealed to me were my mission then and the mission for the future.
In terms of my mission then, I had the awesome opportunity to share the Gospel not only with my students, but with two groups of girls when we did street evangelism in St. Petersburg after English Camp. And we believe that 11 people came to know Christ in those two weeks. How great is our God!
But in regard to my mission for the future, the entire time I was in Russia, I was bombarded by Spain. From Spanish tourists at the table next to me in restaurants, to Spanish pop music that played the instant I walked into stores, to Russians coming up to me and telling me that God was trying to tell me I should return to Spain as a worker, I was overwhelmed. And convicted. But conviction without action isn't of any merit, so I've been in contact with SEND, seeking counsel in how I should proceed.
I'll post more about this process when I know more. In the meantime, I hope to give you a window into my experience in St. Petersburg.

We had some pretty wild games at English camp: this one was Siamese Simon Says.


I talked God with Nika, one of my students at English Camp. I taught the 13-year-olds with John, one of the permanent workers.

One of the highlights of the Das Vedanya (Goodbye) party was the Gospel skit.
