Happenings

 Last Saturday, Kerry and I Philip went into Moscow to pick up the newest member of our GP Team, Katie!  Katie is from Indiana also, but is a student at Kingswood University in New Brunswick.  This year is her senior year, and as a Global Ministry major, she is required to spend 5 months overseas doing an internship.  Her internship has landed her here, in Russia, for 5 months!  We just found her an apartment on Monday and today she has moved in---she had been staying with us since her arrival on Friday.  Welcome to the team, Katie!

Thank you for your prayers for Vika!  We are seeing God answer so many prayers this summer!  Vika moved to Vermont for work and study program with the local university here in Vladimir.  When we were meeting with her this spring, we kept telling her that we were praying for her and really praying that she would have a good time in the States.---we were also praying she would meet some believers and get plugged in!  

My friend, Sarah, has a friend (who I slightly knew in college) that lives in the same city that Vika was going to be for the summer.  Sarah contacted her friend, Meredith and then I followed up via facebook with Meredith.  Well, we got Meredith and Vika connected!  They met up a few months ago after Vika arrived!  I got in contact with Meredith a few days ago and she said that Vika had been coming to her weekly Young Adult Bible Study and she had been asking great questions.  Meredith had been going to pick her up each week for this Bible Study!  Wow!  Meredith also said Vika mentioned how she was seeing how God was answering the prayers we had been saying for her during her stay in the States.  Praise Jesus!  He is at work!  Keep praying for Vika!  She returns in mid-September.  Please also pray for Meredith as she continues to ministry to Vika!

Blessings,

Philip, Kara, Adalynn, and Gwenyvere
