Women Ministers Retreat

November 2006 - Dianna Lang invited me to join her in giving a retreat for the gal ministers of Buryatia. They are amazing church planters and pastors in TOUGH places, so we set out to pamper them, minister to them, and enjoy down time together. (Larissa, one of the hair dressers, is here with Dianna who is eating posie - a delicious food specific to Buryatia.

EATING (smoked fish)-Julia's father and brother are pastors too.
DOING HAIR - Vera was one of our cooks.
AND NAILS - Vera's a pastor & Lena, recently married, awaits new ministry.

BONDING & RELAXING

WORSHIP - and teaching too . . . the times of prayer were truly memorable.
