Terry's Russia Blogosphere

New Seminary Session Begins Tonight

Today is the 1st of December.  Our seminary office is abuzz with activity as everyone rushes to finalize their syllabi's.  If the instructors are English speakers they have to complete their syllabus and turn them in to be translated into Russian and Vietnamese. 

This month we're squeezing two sessions in with courses such as Principles of Prayer, Principles of  the Kingdom of God and Hermeneutics.  On the 15th we start with the Authority of the Believer, Transformed Temperaments and Death, Dying and Bereavement.

We are laying a foundation in our students so that they will be able to endure with sound doctrine.  There are so many confusing voices in the world today and we are walking with them into the deeper principles of the Bible and faith.  By the time they leave our Bible School they will be able to stand upon their own two feet, spiritually speaking, and be able to teach others with authority and knowledge.  

There are, of course, many other courses taught here and each one of them brings a new aspect of inspiration from the Holy Spirit to the hearts of our eager students.  What a pleasure it is to pour the healing waters of God's Word into their thirsty souls. 

Happy Thanksgiving from Russia

Dr. Tiffany Elliott Visits us in Russia

Terri's sister, Tiffany Elliott is staying with us for a couple of weeks here in Moscow.  This is her second trip and she is working with us in many areas.

Tiffany is a Bible Teacher and an Evangelist.  She also sings and has produced her own CD. 

While here in Russia Tiffany is teaching The Life of Christ at the Good News Seminary.  The students already love her courses and they get actively involved during her classes.  She is animated and has fit right into our school.  Our students have a saying, "We love our director", meaning of course, Terri.  Now that they have her sister as an instructor they have come up with a new one..."We love the sister of our Director!" 

Last week, she sang for the whole church during the two morning church services.  This week, she will sing and preach at the English Language Service and following that she will minister at the Vietnamese Language Service.  She also has ministered the Word of God at the meeting for homeless people here in Moscow.

Terri & I are glad that she will be with us all the way through Thanksgiving Holiday next week.  That is a very special holiday for us as Americans who live overseas.  We are always away from home this time of year and it is nice to have a close family member to celebrate with this year. 

We enjoyed some cultural events as well this week, visiting Red Square, which is always a must see and the Christ the Savior church in Moscow.  We also went to the Tchaikovsky Theater last night to see a performance of the traditional ballet of Igor Moiceev...(its a folk dance)...How do those guys do that?

This week classes will continue as usual and much more is scheduled to see and do.
