Former Soviet Union

Over the last year, the former Soviet Union has been on my heart. One reason is because my wife and I are adopting from Russia. The former Soviet Union had never been on my radar screen until we began this adoption process. Recently, I've been talking with missionaries in Russia about what God is doing in Eastern Europe. And on November 8-9, I'll be attending a "Volunteer Summit" here in Nashville, and I'm so excited about hearing more about how God could use Peace Community Church to reach those who have never experienced the forgiveness of Jesus Christ.

If you'd like to hear more about what God is doing around the world, specifically in Central and Eastern Europe, then I invite you check out the following websites: http://www.hope4cee.org/index.htm

Here are a few Bible verses I'm committing to memory over the next couple of weeks:

PSALM 67:2

May your ways be known throughout the earth, your saving power among people everywhere.

PSALM 2:8

Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession.
