Can you tell a Russian from an African?
Here are three women who spoke in Jacksonville, FL at the Wyndham Hotell on the river. It's been the home of the
Love Evangelizing Nations (LEN) Ministries Banquet for the past couple of years. Saturday was the big night,
and the room was packed. We were all eager to hear what they had to say.
Daniele Yetna, Sveta Yarygina & Diana (the version that is easy for us to pronounce) Longacre all passionately
communicated how the message of God's love had changed their lives. That message had come through the
Evangelism Explosion (EE) clinics conducted around the world by LEN Ministries. They have short term mission
trips to Russian every year, Africa, South America & the Philippines. Part of the money for your trip goes to pay
for the ministers who attend clinics---their transportation, housing, food & materials.
I actually went on the trip to Russia (Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod & Yaroslavl) in 2005. I got some interesting pictures,
during the trip: people & architecture on the street, beautiful churches, a factory, 10pm sunsets, lots of friends we made
& the places we visited. The Russian people are very warm & welcoming --- well, with the possible exception of
the police who were a little scary. And the ladies that sit at a desk on the each floor of your hotel writing down
who comes & goes. (Yeh, it was a little creepy...) Riding in a car will take your breath away & avoid the bus for
long trips. But, Nizhny has the most beautiful McDonald's in the world (that I've ever seen, anyway). Yaroslavl
had many beautiful churches and their kremlin watch tower is pictured above. Moscow had really cool cell phone
ads, good shopping & even casinos with neon lights blazing. But we saw only a tiny sample of the country.
EE such a fantastic tool for explaining the Gospel that it works in any language & culture. It even works in
prison environments. Every clinic LEN has held has netted positive results. Those trained can teach the
method to others. It's a great way to help their churches to grow. EE originated here in Florida, via Pastor
James Kennedy. Click on the highlighted words for more information.
I highly recommend taking a missions trip. It will definitely give you a new perspective on life and on our
nation.
PHOTIP: Go on a missions trip with LEN and take pictures of happy new believers.
BLESSINGS!
