It’s Saturday morning and we are on flight bound for Moscow from Krasnodar. We are going to be picked up by our friend Kirill at the airport. Tim and I arrived at the domestic terminal and needed to find our way to International arrivals to meet him.
I had two cases and needed to lift them up and downstairs. In the process I wrenched my neck and shoulder and was in absolute agony. Tim had wondered where I was and came back for my cases and me. He and Kirill loaded my bags while I sat in the front in such pain. “Hey you guys, please pray for me!” I said to them. Tim and Kirill both laid hands on me and prayed. The severe pain left me, and by the time I got the mission centre I had no pain at all!
We were both made so welcome and immediately invited to join the mission school students for lunch. Around the table were Olga, Kirill’s wife, with Inna and Vitali. It was a nice time of reunion with our friends. What developed next was a really spontaneous time, as Olga began to share with students about Tim and myself. She invited the students to ask us questions – they were a hungry bunch of mission school students who had lots of questions for Tim and myself!
It was so good to hear their heartbeat and enthusiasm for reaching the lost. We so enjoyed the privilege of sharing with them through a mixture of serious conversation, laughter and fun. We left feeling blessed and encouraged!
They came from different parts of Russia to attend the mission school for a seminar on healing. Like us, they’re staying on for the Tent 100 conference here, which is being led by Kevin and Leslie McNulty.
Our next stop was our guesthouse and we had a rest, as it had been a long tiring day. The next day we have been invited by Helena of Tent 100 to her church (Rick Renner’s Church in Moscow) followed by some sightseeing in Red Square on Sunday – it was going to be a long day!
