Losha has returned!!

Greetings from Moscow! THE SNOW IS MELTING, and spring is around the corner. Great news: today Losha came back home. He was on the streets with his friends for about 4 weeks. Most of his friends I have met, and they all have a soft heart. Losha showed up tonight at the Monday bible study. He is happy to be back, and the guys were happy to see him. During the meeting Losha showed up with Sergey who also lives with us. Sergey comes into the meeting and with his typical loud voice cries “ Losha has come home”
Today I went out to Solneachnagorsk ( Place of sun shining) a city and hour out of Moscow, and out in the forest is a huge T.B. hospital where one of our guys from Ghana is. I might have spoken to you about Charles. Charles, contacted T.B. in prison, where they removed one lung. And now that he is out of prison the T.B. has attacked his other lung. Charles is an amazing guy, he is about 28 years old and he has been through so much. He is a walking miracle. Please pray for the protection of his only good lung. As so as he is better we want to send him back home.

Saturday I had the honor of doing a teaching at the Jews for Jesus Shabbat service. The Jews for Jesus keep the Shabbat service very much like an all Jewish Shabbat service so that they attract non- Christian Jews to the service. They read from the Pentateuch, then from the Prophets, then from the New Testament. They sing Jewish songs, and then break bread together. After the meeting I was invited to a birthday party for Dina. She is a Christian Jew, who I had the opportunity to Baptize last summer. When you go to a Russian birthday party, you better be prepared to eat until you pass out, and Dina’s birthday was no exception. Dina who turned 70 (doesn’t look a day over 60) invited her co –workers 3 women. In Russia during the Soviet times your close friends were always the ones you worked with. Generally you work together at the same job for your entire life. So co-workers usually are close friends. Dina has a great faith, and is a great witness to her friends. Good night and God Bless.
