Pavel is telling us about his good news. Natalia, Yerina and Natalia getting ready to fight the weather.

It is quite cold here in Moscow and the snow has been falling for many hours making our transportation rather tough. In Moscow one cannot get around without a lot of walking so we have challenged the wind and freezing weather to some real battles but the elements have won all of them. Thankfully the Metro Underground system is fast and warm but also very crowded.
Today we had a great meeting with several of the members of our "Faculty" who lead our groups and teach our seminars all around the Russian Federation. As you know, this is a huge country with nine time zones compared to four in the USA. God has opened doors for Galina and our friends in places that heretofore never heard of the 12 Step Programs or how Christ came to set the captives free. (Is 61)
This afternoon we met in the Lifeways office to reflect on the time we spent with the pastors and leaders at the seminary the past two days. Steve and I used it as an opportunity to share the five stages of group development and what we do at each stage to facilitate the group's growth.
Tomorrow more team meetings and supervision with a focus on lay counseling. We are looking forward to plenty of good conversations and insights from our team of bright and eager helpers. Please keep them in your prayers.
