Although we have been travelling to Russia since 1992, this year was the first time that we could be present on Easter Sunday in Ulyanovsk.
Every month, on the third Sunday, we share prayer and Bible study with each other via Skype in the St. Luke’s mansion library – but nothing takes the place of physically being together. Taking communion, praying, and singing together with all the hugs and warmth of our relationship is especially moving. A camping retreat gave us the opportunity to relax together and to share God’s recreation – His gift of growth and change through the action of His love in our lives.
As we shared communion at church on Easter Sunday, the entire experience was one of brokenness shared and hearts healed by God’s love as He binds us to each other and to Him.
