Only five destinations on my map this time, but some of them are six times zones apart! In fact I will be closer to Minnesota by going East than West! Oh, I wish they could schedule their teachers’ conferences and trainings with at least some consideration of my travel preferences…
But who is complaining!? A am truly looking forward to meeting with teachers and university students in Yakutia–sixteen time zones away from Minnesota! I cannot wait to hear their questions about Christ, about faith, and about the meaning of life! It am sure they will be different in the permafrost lands of Yakutsk than in the vineyards of Krasnodar, in the polar nights of Karelia or in the urban conveniences of Moscow and St. Petersburg. Please pray for my travel, connections, accommodation and, most importantly, for the Holy Spirit to prepare my audiences’ hearts to hear the Gospel with Evidence! Please also keep my family back in MN in your thoughts and prayers.
