Last Saturday several church members came to the worksite to help with final construction of benches, re-arrange and sweep up. On Sunday we met together for worship. There were lots of people in attendance. It was a joyful time of coming together for praise and worship and a good opportunity to catch a glimpse of how sweet it will be when the construction is complete!
This week most of the church family is in the Krasnoyarsk area for the annual Festival. They attend biblical seminars, preaching services, and enjoy lots of music, food, and fellowship. Many of the families camp there for this week. On Tuesday there were approximately 1500 in attendance and they celebrated with a river baptism.
This coming Sunday, July 20, the SEND construction team from the US will arrive. We are excited to see what God will do through their hard work, prayers, and sacrificial giving of finances, time, and the comforts of home for the next two weeks. Please pray for their safety in travel and work. Also pray that the Russian church will be encouraged and strengthened by their brothers and sisters who come to work alongside of them to bring the Good News of the Gospel of Christ to this part of the world.
I may not be able to send update notifications in the next few weeks, but please be sure to check here for updates regularly. Today I will post photos including one of baby Vova…he is doing very well! His parents praise God and send thanks to those of you who have prayed for them and their child.
Our time here in Siberia is winding down. We (Bob and Robin Ivins) will be leaving with the SEND team on August 2. Please pray for much to be accomplished in the next 2 ½ weeks. The Lord said, “I will build my church…” so will trust Him with the outcome!
