Mission Trip to Russia Scheduled for January
CHICAGO, IL (August 24, 2004) - Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray
for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may
proclaim the mystery of Christ... (Colossians 4:2-3, NIV).
Covenant World Mission is offering a mission
trip to St. Petersburg, Russia, from January 13-21, 2005 for the purpose
of preparing the way for future possibilities in the Covenant's mission
to Russia.
Spaces are limited to 10 people and the trip will include ministry to an
estate geared to help troubled youth, said Covenant world mission
representatives. The trip will cost $2,500.
Coordinators of the trip will be missionaries Richard and Jan
Epps-Dawson (regional coordinators for Europe and Russia), Keith
Tungseth (facilitator for Russia Ministries) and Leonid Regheta (now
attending North Park Theological Seminary). In January 2004, Regheta and
Tungseth visited several Russian leaders and ministries in St.
Petersburg and decided a mission experience was feasible and valuable to
communicating the needs in Russia to the Covenant.
"We will pray for God's church in Russia and for God's leading and
blessing on the ministry niche that the Covenant might have in God's
purpose," said Richard
Epps-Dawson. "We are trusting that God will open doors to send project
missionaries to Russia in 2005."
