Please pray for us as we leave tomorrow for Komi. The train ride is 27 hours Northeast. Here in Moscow it is 19F, windy, and has been snowing almost everyday for weeks. Where we are going it is 0-5 F, so I get to use my warmest boots, gloves, and long underwear. Luiza has a cold but can’t take any medicine (except green onions and garlic) since she is pregnant. (In the photo she is hurrying to catch the city bus to church. The bus comes only every 30 minutes on Sunday.)

We finally got the correct phone number and were able to talk with the school director this Wednesday and found out that their spring break is a week earlier than we had thought and that now they want us to work with 10th and 11th graders instead of 4th and 5th. So these last few days have been busy preparing talks and games.

The purpose of our trip is to set up things for the summer English camp we have planned for June. There are 6 young people planning to come. We also want to impact 20 kids now during our time with them on the 23rd, 24th, and 25th.

So pray for health, open hearts, and learning how to do this on a bigger scale in June.

In His harvest,
Dennis & Luiza Strellman
