TIMOTHY TITUS

Tyler has left for America. Who is Tyler you may be asking? Tyler is no stranger to Russia. He has come with many short term teams over the years to Russian and the Ukraine. Last year he decided to come and live here in Moscow, and for the last 6 months he has been one of my roommates. It was interesting to watch how the Lord opened up unique opportunities for Tyler to bring attention to Jesus Christ. Tyler is a professional Wrestler and had the opportunity here in Moscow to team up with a professional wresting organization. He even appeared on national TV in one of his matches. Then Tyler went from throwing guys out of the ring to sitting down with small children and teaching them nursery rhymes. (First proverb for a missionary : “blessed are the flexible for they shall not be broken”) One other door that opened for Tyler was teaching children English. Olga who is Tyler’s boss has a passion for teaching English to young people. At the time she met Tyler, she was doing a DVD project that used cartoon characters reading English fairytales to children and they needed an English speaking person that they could superimpose in the cartoon. Well Tyler was the one Olga was looking for….. It was no easy job getting a such big guy like Tyler into a little bitty cartoon, but modern technology and a good ole Mac, Olga was able to produce a very professional DVD. We are going to miss Tyler, he was personally for me a great encouragement and was a great blessing to the fellowship. I will miss serving with him and him giving me a “motivational speech”. Please pray for Tyler as he will spend 6 months back in California. Both he and his girl friend Melissa have a heart for Russia. Pray for God’s direction in their lives……..
