Moscow

From Ion…

I am praising our Lord for those two days I spent in Moscow. In spite of the fact that I do not like the city, I am experiencing an unexplainable joy, anyway, every time I visit it. The people with whom we used to be involved in ministry are making all the difference. From this city, 13 years ago we started the movement of Inductive Study Method in Russia, and because of the faithfulness of the few people in Moscow, the movement has been spreading all over this huge country. It is so amazing to meet not only those people who let themselves be discipled but also their disciples – the fruits of their ministry.

The day I arrived we had our first meeting with the core group in a small flat, which could not fit all the people. Every foot was filled out with people sitting on the floor and other flat objects. Thus we opened the door and placed the people in two rooms and I was speaking loud enough to be heard by the people next room, even though they could not see me.

he next day I had a seminar with the leaders from different churches. From that seminar I went directly to the airport, changing two cars and doing our best not to miss the plane. I made it to the airport just in time.  At midnight I got into the plane and in the morning of the next day I was already in Omsk (Siberia).
