More snow...

Our yard keeps filling up with more snow.

Pentecostal Union meeting

Linas Snaras gave a great report on the progress at camp. He encouraged everyone to get more involved in their camp.

Our Bishop, Rimantas Kupstys, was interpreting into Russian. There are both Lithuanian and Russian speaking churches in the Union.

As always, lots of good food to eat :)







It was an end-of-the-year celebration meeting for the Pentecostal Union. In spite of some bad weather, there was still a good group of pastors and ministers from the Union and other churches in the area.

Panevezys Marriage Seminar

We had a wonderful time with the churches in Panevezys for a marriage seminar. These friends were open and eager to learn.

We are thankful for the opportunities God has given us this year to minister in several churches and at camp through the marriage seminar.

Matt's home!!!!!!!!

We welcomed Matt back to Lithuania today. He is home for Christmas and his Evangel break.

So good to see him again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First Christmas celebration

We were at the Vilnius Theological College's Christmas party to celebrate with our friends. They invite the people that have supported or worked with the college each year.

As is liked by all, we play the gift exchange game. Gita is opening her gift to see what she got. This year Olga disguised all the gifts by placing them in shoe boxes. That was fun!

VTK was thankful for their 15th year in existence. They do not have a resident program anymore but have a strong extension program around the country.

Finnish Visitors

Bob was privileged to take three Finnish men from the churches in Finland to visit the campgrounds. They were interested in learning more about the project and see if they could possibly help in some way. It was a great day and they were encouraged by what they saw at camp. Now they are going to present the need to their churches and possibly bring a construction team over to help too. PTL!

The Finnish brothers are on the left, Bob and Ivanas Shkulis (Vilnius Theological College President) are seated on the right, and Rimantas Kypstys is standing in the back (Bishop for the Pentecostal Union).

We were privileged to have Nathan and Beth Davis, from AGWM Caring Connection, come to the meetings and present a seminar on Conflict Man
















Bob was in a great mood for the meetings :)






We stayed at a nice hotel in the mountains for our meetings.

Snow already...

We came home from Armenia to winter. This is the table in our backyard. Our temperatures are hovering around 16 F. right now. Maybe we will have a white Christmas??!!

Leadership Meetings

Our Eurasia Northwest Leadership meetings began and ended in Tblisi, Georgia One of our memories is the bread we had eaten when in Georgia on a previous trip many years before. You go to these small windows and there is always warm bread waiting to be sold.

Bob is paying about 40 cents for the famous Georgian bread!



Bob and Missionary Associate, Megan,
helping us buy the bread.













The bread tasted as good as it looks!!!!!!!!!!! The sign says Fresh Bread in the Georgian language.
