This last September we had our annual leader’s training in Moscow. We were excited to have Lewis, Adrian, and Stephen back again to take us through the John Maxwell’s, Million Leaders Mandate series. This is the third year that they have been taking us through this series and it is always a blessing to me. The world needs good Christian leaders, and Russia is no exception. This third book deals with the attitude of a leader and how he is supposed to respect others, as well as foster respect from others, emphasizing the servant leader mentality.This year they Irish guys were able to come early and spend a few days in Severdvinsk. It was a blessed time of
mutual edification and exciting worship, neither the Russians nor the Irish will be the same. Then everyone gathered in Moscow. We had people come from all over Russia. We had people from Severdvinsk, Southern Russia, Vologda, Kirilov, and Cherepovets. It is great to be able to gather everyone together once a year and encourage each other in the fellowship of the Spirit. It is wonderful to see people from all over the world come together and share such a close bond. We truly are citizens of a different nation that transcends the borders on maps, not separated by visas and culture.
This year it was also a special treat to have an additional group of Irish come and join us for the tail end of the seminar and then continue with us to Cherepevets to minister to the Vologda region, all together there where something like 15 Irish men and women.
The team was awesome. They brought with them a passion and excitement for Jesus that was so refreshing. They had a special time for the women there at the conference, which I did not attend but heard was pretty powerful. It was a huge blessing to have them at the conference and I look forward to seeing them all again.
Andria and Stevy fellowshiping with their Russian brother.
So many people to translate for, translators started translating translators.
When the Irish team came the room filled up quite a bit.
The crazy Irish sure get excited about Jesus! We loved it!
