Tobolsk, Russia Mission Trip

Dear Family & Friends,

Almost 16 years ago I spent a chunk of my summer service Christ across most of Ukraine. I have longed to return for short term missions “behind the curtain”.  I finally have a chance to go back and proclaim Christ’s power again.

This coming May 15-27, I and ten other team members from Smokey Point Community Church will take off for the city of Tobolsk, in Siberia.

I will be support teaching a 2-day marriage seminar as well as helping finish a cement block building that will be used as a community center to reach out to Muslims.  There will be several outreach opportunities to both men and women as we share our stories of Christ’s personal impact in our lives. 

We are excited about this opportunity.  I would like to ask that you pray for us in some specific ways; that the travel plans would fall into place, that our team would prepare well both physically and spiritually, and that we would form into a well unified team.  Please pray that we will be effective in ministry, and that we would experience God’s hand of protection.  Our desire is that God’s love be poured out through the work of our hands, the expressions on our faces, and through the words we speak through translators.

We are each raising our own support for this trip.  The individual cost per team member is $2,800.  My primary need is for your prayers.  If God leads you to help with the financial support for the trip, please take a moment and fill out the funding information. If for some unforeseen reason I am unable to go on the trip, your contribution would be used to help the rest of the team.

Thanks for allowing me to share this important part of my life with you.  Thank you in advance for your prayers and support.

God bless.

Ps. Please keep in mind that any contribution you make is tax-deductible
