April 2009—St.  Petersburg, Russia   A GOOD WORD FROM CAMP from Leif & Zhanya Camp

(Click on http://www.flickr.com/photos/stpaulmp/ to see photos of the Camp’s work and life.  This month’s are here.  These photos will not remain here indefinitely as Flickr is no longer a free service for me.  The most recent 200 St. Paul photos will be displayed. -LW)

This month I am very behind, so I do not have time again to write the usual prayer letter--forgive me this.  This month we had to refresh our documents and we managed to receive separate living permits for each of the children (before this they were written into my living permit).  Zhanya has been busy studying at the institute and we have been already preparing for Summer short term mission groups.  Things have been especially hectic....

Several things to pray about--the children's studies as they are approaching the end of the year.  Nastya is especially having difficulty.  Also pray for the pro-life ministry as the ministry seems to be growing and there are some upheavals as a result.  Zhanya on May 4 takes her US citizenship test, so keep that in prayer as well.  Also, keep the Ingrian Lutheran Church, especially Bishop Aare Kugappi in prayer, as recent changes in the Finnish Lutheran Church have forced Ingria to take a stand against some of those Finnish congregations that have been supporting Ingria.  Also, the chaplaincy initiative is moving forward with monthly seminars being planned for several parishes (to increase awareness of the program) with a larger seminar being planned for this fall.  Pray also for the group that is coming to help reach out to youth in Viburg.

 

 

In Christ,
