When I wrote my last blog I scarcely had enough courage to pray for this outreach. The distances were too far, the temperatures were too cold, the transport was too fragile, the communications were non existent, the villages too far apart, etc etc etc. But we prayed anyway.
And, away they went through the snowy wastes of Siberia!
The five of them arrived back last week, very happy about their
trip. The wife of one of the pastors reported:
"They drove 7 000 kms, the Australian
equivalent of driving from Sydney to Perth and back.
They visited 18 villages, of which 12 had no believers. In these places 236 adults and 130 children heard the gospel for the first time. 330 New Testaments in the Yakutian language were distributed. (GRN note! We had no news on how the GRN materials were distributed.)
The truck broke down a few times but the brothers were able to fix it.
They are all very thankful to God for his blessing on this trip.
Thank you so much for praying for us! We did feel the prayers!
May God bless abundantly for being part of such challenging project!"
