The team's first day in Nizhny Novgorod was a busy one. We came overnight from Moscow arriving at 7:30 AM. The team was exhausted, but in good spirits.
Train Station - Nizhny Novgorod
At 10:00 AM we met at the Central Baptist church were we participated in the monthly pastor’s meeting. Cheryl introduced the team, told everyone a bit about the purpose of the visit and then invited questions. We were invited to participate in the worship services of two of the local congregations on Saturday and also Sunday morning.
In the afternoon we took the team by bus to the Central Hotel on the other side of the river. At the hotel the team received an official registration stamp for their visas. Without this stamp the team would not have been allowed to leave the country. The rest of the day was spent relaxing, eating supper together and getting to know each other.
