My wife is leaving tomorrow to go to Russia for 11 days on a mission trip with a group from our church and a local university. They will be working at a summer camp for orphans in a remote area about 6 hours from Moscow. Our church sponsors a group of children at the orphanages there, and this camp is a much needed break/vacation from their typical lives at the orphanages.
On a U2-related note, the translator who has been assigned to work with my wife is a big fan of U2! In correspondence with the group from our church, she mentioned that one of her favorite things about the former Soviet Union "opening up" was that she finally had access to her favorite group, U2. I am sending 3 of my Australian cd singles with my wife as a gift, and I am certain that she will like this much more than the typical gift of Western perfume/cologne!
If you think about it, please pray for this group of travellers over the next 12 days (they leave tomorrow, June 5 and return Sunday, June 16). Also, pray long-term for the 27 kids whom they will be working with. They are usually "graduated" from the orphanages at the age of 16, and their prospects are not always great. Thanks!
