Another Trip to Russia

Neiva and I spent three weeks in Tyumen, Russia, teaching at the Tyumen Bible College. It was a great experience for both of us and we enjoyed every minute of it. Neiva taught a course on Systematic Theology, the Doctrine of God, and I taught a course on Biblical and Theological Orientation, covering the major points of Systematic Theology, starting with a short prolegomenon and providing an overview on each area of it. We also spent two days in Moscow doing some sightseeing and celebrating our 25th anniversary (at least part of the celebration, since our anniversary is on December 10). In Moscow, we visited the Kremlin, the Red Square, GUM, and the Pushkin Museum. Besides that, we also had a great time visiting with many friends in Tyumen, savoring some good food and also enjoying good fellowship.

We felt the presence of the Lord in our enterprise. Besides teaching at the College, we also ministered to different people, I preached in two churches, Neiva taught at the Holy Trinity Presbyterian Church, where I served as a consultant last year. We thank the Lord for the precious people He put us in contact there. In a very clear way, we noticed how deeply the Word of God was speaking to the students and to other brothers and sisters. It was a delight for us to be able to share the Scripture with them. We pray that the Word will continue to bring transformation in Russia through those students of ours who so diligently are seeking the will of God for their lives.
