BACK FROM THE CONFERENCE!
It was a wonderful, amazing and blessed time at the 2006 CCI/Russia Christian Camp Leaders' Conference. In total 315 participants, instructors and staff took part in the six day conference held near Zelenogorsk (one hour north of St. Petersburg). Attendees came from across Russia, Belarus, the Baltic States and even three Central Asian countries! Personally I had a very full plate–I ran the computer centre (servicing everyone's tech needs, producing over 200 conference CDs & more), handled the chief videotaping & photography duties and taught a four-day course on Information Technology at Camp. Thankfully I had great help in the form of one Lehv Panchikhin who dropped everything to come and help me on very short notice.
I've posted a few pictures from the conference at Flickr.com, with more to come. Thank you for your prayers–it was a great conference!

COMING TO CANADA
Just four months to go, Lord willing! Now that the conference is over, we need to get serious about Canadian preparations. We would really appreciate some help in the real estate department. Please continue to spread the word about our need for housing. We would happily house-sit for the first few months practically anywhere in southern Manitoba. In addition we would love to have the assistance of a good real estate agent as we seek a more permanent residence. Any and all help is appreciated!
BLESSINGS
Answered prayer from last time! The last-minute cancellation of my conference interpreter/ assistant was quite the setback, but God provided a very capable replacement. Thank God for His provision!
Praise God for His care and protection for Lena and the girls during my absence.
Thank God for His grace! I had a very heavy workload during the conference, yet was still able to serve until the end! There wasn't much sleep to be had in the final days of the conference, but God granted health and strength throughout.
PETITIONS
Pray for the camp directors, pastors and other church leaders that took part in the conference. They now return home to encourage and energize their churches and begin the challenging process of raising funds, finding staff, promotion and for many, procuring a campsite. Please remember them in prayer as the summer camping season approaches.
DID YOU KNOW...
...that for the first time we had a representative from Tajikistan at CCLC? There are less than 0.01% of non-Orthodox Christians in Tajikistan!
