This bridge is the bridge that led us into the state of West Virginia! Philip, Adalynn, and I traveled to Weirton, WV this weekend for a missions convention with Chapel Hill Wesleyan Church. It was a great weekend! We enjoyed the time spent with the pastor and his wife in their home. Friday night we met the congregation by enjoying a variety of different Russian food with them! We had a chance to share with them about ourselves during this time. Saturday morning we met a few people from the congregation for breakfast at a local restaurant. We enjoyed a breakfast buffet, and had some time to share prayer requests. That evening we shared a little more about our call and about Russia. This morning, Sunday, we enjoyed Sunday School with the young adults. Then, Philip shared with the congregation about the need in Russia, and more about our passion for the Russian people. We are still waiting to hear about the Faith Promise commitments, but we did have over 10 people join our prayer partner team. Thank you for your prayers! 
Russian food spread!
Adalynn "talking" to the girls...
Adalynn with Pastor Taylor and Mrs. Taylor, our gracious hosts!
Adalynn, using her feet to "wish" herself home and out of her carseat...no one told her she needed her red shoes!
Almost home...
We are so blessed by our home church, Faith Wesleyan! Not only are we supported by this church, but we are continuously encouraged by the members of this church. We are truly surrounded by the Body of Christ. 
We are on the road again! (No, Adalynn is not driving...) This time we are in Ohio headed to West Virginia to be with Chapel Hill Wesleyan Church for their annual missions conference! We will be introduced to the congregation tonight as we fellowship with people over Russian food! On Saturday we will enjoy lunch out with some of the congregation along with a presentation that evening. On Sunday we will do our main presentation and the call to faith promise giving. Oh, how we are not only praying for a large faith promise giving response, but also for the Spirit of God to be present during this entire weekend. Philip and I have a lot on our hearts and minds this weekend as we are preparing to leave for Florida in a few days as well as packing and getting ready to leave for language school in 2 weeks. We are praying that the Lord will use this weekend to refresh us, encourage us, and use us as we share about the burden of the Russian that is in our hearts. Will you join with us as we ask the Lord to be at work this weekend? Pray for the anointing of His Spirit to be upon Philip as he speaks and working on hearts in the congregation. 
Adalynn has a few things she is happy to share with you!
Do you remember this picture from months and months ago? This is Forest Hills Wesleyan Church in Evansville, Indiana. We are making our way there for the second time! This church is one of the first churches we spoke at when we began our home ministries! We are going back this coming Sunday evening for their monthly missions night. We wanted a chance to reconnect with members from the church as well as connect with some people we did not have a chance to connect with the previous time. We also will have a chance to introduce Adalynn to the congregation!
