Take me out of the box!!!

About 1/3 of the team stopped for a photo on the right.... Left is a grouping of youth after one of the concerts....

We were talking with George Bryson, who founded CCCPM and has been doing outreaches like this for nearly 30 years in Russia. Most of all the local Russians that serve at the dorm came to Christ through a concert like the ones we were part of. George shared his own powerful testimony one of the nights. I was moved.

It comes down to this that the "tools" that we are ministering with are never more important than the message of hope and redemption found in Jesus Christ! Whether those tools are buildings, voices, instruments, cars, trains, videos..........etc... They are just means of communicating the message that our "best" efforts are filthy rags in relation to the Righteousness found in a personal relationship with Jesus.

After the concerts were over, I had a chance to just reflect on a lot of personal things that have caused me to fret. The Lord encouraged me again... one of those times when the Lord is really pressing on you.... "You have no idea what I am doing Andon; just trust Me!"

Yes Lord.
