Galina called from Moscow at 11:00 PM and reports that they are seeing many new people coming to their groups as a result of our networking trip. Russia is so huge and the needs are so great that we must develop associations and mutual support of all sorts if we are to make any headway against drugs and alcohol addiction and family destruction.
There are several Residential Rehabilitation Treatment Centers in Moscow run by Christians. These groups are doing great work but at a tremendous cost per person. Most of the Rehab Centers are associated with churches that do not have Recovery Groups and Family Healing Groups.
As we meet with the leaders of the Rehab Centers it is a marriage made in heaven. The Lifeways Team provides training for many church members who have addicted family members as well as support for those in Recovery and they do the in-depth ministry for a few people. Both of these are desperately needed in a city nearing 14 million people.
Pray for the Lifeways Ministry in Russia and for Galina to get her visa application approved. The USA is getting very stingy when it comes to granting Russian visas.
