February in Siberia is cold. It was the coldest I have ever been in my life. But, Tyumen Christian Church extended all the warmth I needed to be able to serve the widows. During our stay our team was privileged to minister at five conferences at various churches in Tyumen and two in adjacent villages.
Each of the conferences was well attended and we were prepared to present them with the love of Christ. Cathy Bytwerk and Sabrina Todd brought words of encouragement and beautiful music dedicated to encouraging the widows. Katie Beth also blessed us with her violin and she was able to film the conferences. I, of course, continued to pray for each widow and present monetary and material gifts to them. Revival has entered into one of the churches as a result of last year’s widow’s conference. These women are literally glowing, and they are so happy. Their hands are God’s hands. Since our first meeting, they are currently ministering to orphans in their community.
A representative from Novosibirsk and Omsk, cities to the north west of Tyumen, has issued an invitation for us to return in October. We are looking forward to planning that visit.
