My three days in Bryansk were both the time of sadness and the time of joy.
Sadness – as the family members were saying the last good-bye to my father-in-law and prayed that the Lord will have mercy on his soul.
Joy – seeing how the truth of Christ shines back to me in the eyes of History Teachers, Public School Principles, Highschoolers and their parents! By the way, I couldn’t help noticing how much more excited, focused and grateful were my audiences in Bryansk than those in Moscow. They were also much more inclined to take it very personally which even showed in their questions, like: “My fiancée is not a believer. Will it be OK if I share this material with him?” Frankly, I missed it yesterday while teaching the same class to the Theology majors at the Moscow Baptist Seminary. Hope my State Pedagogical University students tomorrow will bring some of that joy back to me.
I will greatly appreciate your prayers for travel mercies as I am departing for St. Petersburg tomorrow night to celebrate Easter with our ministry friends and parters before the last two days of teaching events over there. What a privilege to present the historic evidence for the Resurrection event during this very special season!
