HANGING IN THERE!
Thanks to all who have been sending us encouraging notes over the past few weeks. It's really great to hear from our prayer supporters!
Thanks also to those (mostly guys!) who have been contributing to the Shopping Tips For Lena blog. Lots of great suggestions there–keep the tips coming!
Thank you for standing with us in prayer!
– Kevin, Lena, Sonia, Maya & Deena
COMING TO CANADA
When are we coming??? Yes, it's hard to be patient when you're waiting for an answer from the bureaucrats! ;-) We understand that the process takes time, but we are facing crunch time for a number of decisions. If we are to sell our apartment, we will need to put it on the market soon. As well, the time is near for a decision about Sonia's university application, our MINA (Ministry in North America) and many other matters. Please continue to pray that the answer from Canada will come soon and that we will be found "patiently prepared" when it happens!
BLESSINGS
This past week we were able to complete the first of our new video projects in time for the Camp Directors' Institute. Thank God for the help of talented people such as Mark B. & Lena G. You can download/view the five-minute low-resolution version by clicking here (2.4 MB Windows Media Video)
We just heard from Moscow that everyone has arrived safely in time for the start of the CCI/Russia Camp Directors' Institute. Praise God for safe travel for all!
PETITIONS
Today the second session of the Camp Directors' Institute began in Moscow. There are 21 camp directors, five instructors & three interpreters taking part. Please remember in prayer instructors Gary & Susan Fawver, Don German, Dan DeGroat & Dan Bolin as they shake off jet lag and lead the Institute.
We would be very grateful if you would spread the word about our need for an answer from Immigration Canada. Please pass this prayer need on to prayer groups & churches!
DID YOU KNOW...
...that Sunday was the last day of Maslenitsa ("Pancake Week")? This is a sort-of pagan/religious festival which occurs just before the start of Orthodox Lent. Each day of "Pancake week" is special in some way. For example, Sunday was the day on which women are to visit and give gifts to their husband's sister! (Kim: Lena send her apologies for not making it to your house in time!)
