2 Russia with Love, from above! Well, I believe you had a great holiday and are all ready and fired up for 2005! I pray that the Lord will bless you with a passion for Him and to walk 100% in His purpose in the year that lies ahead of us. Ja, I'm not one for "New Year’s resolutions" but I did think I should most probably get to typing my news letter before the year is gone! Note: Failed. As you know, I come back from Plavni (Ukraine) in November last year. I was not at all sure where I would be called to next. I had a few options, but I didn't just want to go out and do my own thing. I want to be 100% in God’s will. So, I was blessed with a great time of rest and catching up with friends and family. And now the Big Boss has shown me where He wants me to go next. RUSSIA!!! (Hope you're not surprised!) I've been in contact with a group of people working Russia called Mission Russia. I will be joining them in Moscow when my Visas and stuff is sorted out... Which sounds like will take a lifetime! There is quite a few things I need prayer for! Please pray for my visa and all the "red tape". Please pray for the finances that are required for this! For the Ukraine I needed about R500 for my visa. If I go to Moscow, I will need more than R1600 plus more for the "area registration". The guys from Mission Russia is like a big family, but still pray that I will be able to slot in with the group and that we can work together in the Great Task! I was blessed with a laptop! Bless the Lord for His provision! Bless the Lord for a great (and needed) time with my family! Thank you for praying for me. And thanks for the financial support! None of us can do anything with out the support of our friends and family back home. Well, may the Lord bless you with a great Year! Al
