News, stories and photos from our ministry in Russia, and our life in general. Matt 16:25 "For whoever wishes to save his life shall lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake shall find it. [NASB] Luke 18:29-30 So He said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life."

The Russians Have Landed!

Part of the purpose of our trip to Los Angeles was in order for us to meet our friends Pastor Dmitry Zaborski and Sveta Kuzmintseva. Dmitry and Sveta live in Nizhny Novgorod Russia. Dmitry is the pastor of Cornerstone Church, the church with which we work, and Sveta is our friend, teacher, and translator.

Dmitry and Sveta flew to Los Angeles from Houston. While in Houston they were the guests of our friends Leonard & Sally Hinzie who took them to visit churches and prisons both to speak and observe ministry practices in America.

Today we met them at Los Angeles International Airport, and brought them to Echo Park. We had a great day seeing a few sites including the outside of Angelus Temple and then a quick trip to the ocean.

Here are a few photos
