We returned to Tambov about a week ago after a very refreshing and restful time in the States. The graciousness and love so many showed us there was a great encouragement. Many of you were aware of the immediate need we had for a place to meet for church services here.

Well, I wanted to report that the Lord has provided an adequate place, at least for the time being. A local Baptist mission and youth church has graciously allowed us to rent their building on days they themselves are not using it. It turns out we can use it for 3 meetings a week.

It's not ideal in that it is far from the center of town, and we have to wait until the afternoon to meet on Sunday, but it's what the Lord has provided at this time and we are very grateful. We know he has a plan for us there. We begin services there on June 1st.

THANK YOU for your prayers in this regard. It has made a difference, I believe. We continue to look for an even larger building and one we can use all the time. It's in the Lord's hands.

We'll be putting out a newsletter soon.

With much love in Christ,

Ray
