Wednesday – April 30th – Report from Jim…

May 6, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Here it is, Wednesday evening in the booming metropolis of Ufa, Bashkiria. I have been working with Scott Menez and Henry Winkelman. Together we are team teaching a class of pastors from the region, and tonight, we are free to sit in our room. No Bible studies to attend or church services to preach at. We’re free to rest, which is great, because we have been busy since our arrival at midnight on Saturday night. And what better way to relax than a Diet Pepsi and Lay’s Potato Chips?

The class is going well, the men were very attentive today as we studied aspects of Christology, and God is keeping us safe and healthy. Neil says “Hi!” to “Corrrteese” because he remembers “the great work he did in Blagavaceous.”

Today, Scott was giving Emelia (our translator) a hard time about staying up late on the phone and coming to class tired. She was rolling her eyes and giving Scott grief. I smiled and told her I brought Scott with me so someone on my team would treat her like Duane did. She looked shocked and asked, “How do you know how Duane treated me when he was here?” I said, “‘Cause I know Duane.”

Ah Duane… You are remembered well!
