As you might guess, today was a day of worship and rest. The team went to two different churches in town this morning. One part went to the House of Prayer and the other, to Grace Church. Both are members of the Russian Baptist Union. The House of Prayer is the biggest church in town 200-300 people. The contingent that visited there had a couple of translators with them and they worshiped alongside the Russian brothers and sisters. At Grace Church, Wayne was able to share a testimony with the congregation and bring greetings from Centreville Baptist. After church, lunch. We all ate at a cafeteria named Mado. (think Picadilly or Morrison's, but with Turkish food) Then the whole crew, translators and all, crashed at my apartment for the remainder of the afternoon. Allison and I don't have a lot of room, but we have A/C!
At 6:30 every Sunday we host a Bible discussion group in English at our apartment. Locals come, not only to polish their English skills, but to read Scripture and discuss it with one another. We have been going through he book of Mark and this has presented many chances to share with the group members about who Jesus is and what he did for Mankind. The group was tired, but hung in there and participated. After this it was dinner and to the hotel for some sleep.
Pray for the team. It is hot in Ufa with highs in the low 90's. That doesn't sound bad until you add jet lag, no A/C in most places and they are doing a lot of walking around and traveling on public transport. They should be proud of themselves, though. Everyone still seems in high spirits and excited to be here. They are trying to make the most of this unique experience they are having. Also, pray that everyone will keep themselves hydrated. Having to buy bottled water all the time is annoying, but necessary.
Pray for the English club at the Carr's apartment tomorrow night. The team will have another chance to mingle with lost people. Pray for the Bible study that will be taking place at the same time at the apartment of a local believer. Some of the team will be participating in this while the other part will be at the Carr's.
