Susan chatting with some of the women over the remnants of dinner.  Many relationships are started and built through regular activities such as women's club.

A 'human knot'.  Eileen normally comes up with fun games.

The girls made a banner for their friend Polina, who is studying in The States.  She was a beloved regular at the women's club.

At some point in the evening somebody dropped this carcass off on the ladies prep table!

The men's club is a more laid back affair but no less fun for us guys.  We had a great time this month eating taco salad and playing Wii.  Our gatherings are normally a little smaller.  We had about 15 guys this month.

 Kostya takes his food seriously.

Vladimir played the Wii for the first time.  He liked the boxing game most.

The twins got in on the action as well.

These clubs are just one of the many ways that we try to reach out to the people in this city.  It is ministry, but also great fun.  One of the enjoyable things about this sort of ministry is that real friendships are built.  We make friends with lost people and in the process share Christ with and live out Biblical principles in front of them.  A lot of the ministry we do here is that personal.  We don't minister to just some people group, but to individuals.  If they don't accept Christ as Savior and Lord then it will genuinely hurt because it is a good friend that will suffer the consequences, not just one face in a crowd.  

Please pray for these clubs that are held once a month in an effort to minister to local men and women, both believers and non-believers.
