Update from our sister church, Saratov UMC

Our sister church in Saratov just held a pro-peace worship service including many churches in Saratov. I am happy our partner church chose to have this service in search of peace for their country. I have included some pictures of the service that Pastor Tatyana Fadeeva led. They had to move the pews out of the sanctuary in order to have room for everyone.

We are beginning to hear of our friends who have left the country to be in a less poltical country. One friend, Vladimir, was in trouble with the government because he spoke at a "No War" rally. He now lives in Belarus. Another friend is in Georgia. He asked us to send Godly Play materials so he can share the gospel in a coffee shop. That package is on the way!

Blessings,
