Hey Everybody,
We are still doing very well. We only have two full days of camp and then the campers go home Friday morning. Please pray for the campers and our last couple of days with them. We know of one who repented and turn to Christ last night. There are others who are asking good questions, but they are afraid of their families will do. Kelsey asks for specific prayer for Olga and Anya. Please also pray for our team to finish strong. We are tired but we want to finish the camp strongly. Also pray for our translators, they have been such a blessing to us and it gets very exhausting (but they do it with great attitudes).
We were able to do our "Everything" skit tonight and it went well. We also finished our 13 foot obstacle wall and we are excited to use it tomorrow. I (Mike) have really enjoyed seeing how our group has worked together. God has been very gracious to us.
As I write this it is Tuesday night at 10:30pm and, as I said before, we have two full days of camp. Then on Friday morning the kids go home. We will help clean up camp and then Friday night we will go into Tambov and stay the night. Then we will tour the city Saturday and catch the overnight train to Moscow. Sunday morning we will get onto our plane to Atlanta, and then onto Salt Lake City. We are torn between wanting to stay with our Russian brothers and sisters and yet long for home. We are so blessed to have this experience.
In Him,
Your Tambov Team

Luke and Teammates,
You are very strong people and God is giving you extra strength to do His work. You are all succeeding in your efforts no matter what you may think about your impact on these kids. They will never forget your love and concern for them. Keep going. God loves what you are doing.
Love to you all,

Miss you greatly, my precious team! i'll be praying for you as you get back to your normal lives. May the same passion fill your hearts for your American unbelieving friends. I love you all very much!
