After about 22 hours of traveling we made it to Moscow on Saturday at about noon Russia time (2:00 AM Pocatello time). So far, so good. Our connections all had layovers of less than an hour so we were worried about missing flights if there were any delays or missing luggage that wasn't fast enough to make it from plane to plane. Thankfully, everyone and everything made it just fine.
We spent Saturday wandering the streets of Moscow in a sleepy daze. We were all operating on 4 or 5 hours of sleep over the previous two nights combined. We climbed aboard the overnight train at about 9:00 PM. It's now about 7:00 AM on Sunday morning and we are almost to Lipetsk, where the camp will be held. About 80 campers will show up on Monday at 3:00, so we have about a day and a half to work on a ropes course and do some other set up work.
Last year they had about 60 kids and only about 20 of them were Christians. The ratio will probably be about the same this year. Camp is a major outreach opportunity to unsaved kids, many of whom will come from difficult backgrounds. Please pray that we can work with the loving, dedicated Russian staff at camp to display and share the love of Christ to these youth.
