The Countdown Begins

Jeff Smelser and I (Danny Glover) will be leaving for Russia in two days. Jeff is the evangelist at the Centreville church of Christ in Virginia, and I am a member there. Our congregation provides financial support to Tom Kireykin, who preaches in Nizhny Novgorod and Pavlovo, and Jeff and I are traveling to Russia to meet Tom, his wife, Masha, and our other brethren in that region.

As part of our report back to the Centreville church on the gospel efforts in Russia, I am launching this online journal to try to keep the brethren informed as frequently as possible during our trip. Hopefully we will have ready access to the Internet so Jeff and/or I can post reports regularly. I have invited members of the church at Centreville, as well as others in my earthly and spiritual families, to post their comments to the site, so maybe we can get a good global dialogue going.

Please pray for us and the Christians in Russia as our journey begins.
