We met tonight with our missionaries to Russia. They shared stories about the mission there and what it was like living in Moscow- a city of about 20 million people. They asked for prayer regarding the upcoming year, which could be their last in Russia. Their son will be a Senior at the Christian Academy in Moscow. Their daughter married this year and she and her husband are attending a Christian University in Huntington, Indiana.
