Dear Fellow Laborers,

December 2008

Merry Christmas to all of you and thank you for the role you play in this ministry!

Angela Sees Someone Saved

Angela was soul-winning in Morgan Hill, CA while we were at a missions conference. While out door knocking with another lady from Shadow Mountain Baptist Church, Angela met a Catholic man named Vincent. She said that he was very easy to witness to and very open. Angela and her partner rejoiced to see this man saved. In Russia, her soul-winning opportunities have been limited since we moved to Samara. In our village, we have tried to have someone watch the kids, but have yet to find someone we are comfortable with to do it on a regular basis. However, when she does get the opportunity, she loves to go.

I witnessed to many people this month, but did not see anyone saved. Teresa, from Morgan Hill, committed to pray to accept Christ after my partner and I witnessed to her. We gave her address and phone number to some of the ladies of the church to follow up on her. Please pray that she would indeed be saved and that both her and Vincent would be faithful to the Lord.

We are Expecting Our Fourth Child

We are very excited to let you know that we are expecting our fourth child. Angela is due around March 9th. We are traveling back to Russia on January 20th, so we should be back in plenty of time to have the baby in Russia. We need to have the baby there, because if we were to have the baby in the States, then the baby would have to go through the whole process of obtaining residency. If the baby is born in Russia, then he or she is simply added to my residency. Please pray for Angela and the baby. Pray that our doctor who we saw last time, will be available to help us this time. We had our 3rd baby in Russia, so we mostly know what to expect. However anything can happen, so please pray. Also, please pray for our trip back to Russia, with three small children and a pregnant wife it can be eventful.

And Yet More Traveling

God is blessing as we travel and keeping us safe. Our car is in great working order. Praise the Lord! We continue to enjoy the great hospitality of our supporting churches. Our van has 38,000 miles on it from the 19,000 we began with so we are traveling quite a bit, staying busy reporting to all of you who have been so faithful in your support of us.

Yours in Christ,
Adam, Angela, Alex, Amelia, and Alisa
