In November, I again found myself teaching Youth Ministries in a city 10 hours west of home. Pictured here are some of my 24 students, mixed in with some from the other class. One of these guys was quick to let me know, on the first day, that this was "American" material, but by the last day, his whole attitude had changed, he was very thankful, and God had done a work in his heart toward young people.
These students never knew what I might do next :) One afternoon, they were starting to yawn, so I invited them to stand as we (my translator and I) had a seat and kept on teaching . . . one student snapped this pix on his cell phone.
Project time - creating a mock youth ministry in teams.
Worship and prayer times . . . the last day was powerful!!! Before our test, each student stood by region, city, town, and we prayed for the youth of their area. The presence of God was so rich, and the students taking their finals in the other class joked that I must be grading my students based on how loud they could pray - Hah! God really spoke into hearts about the future of youth ministry in this region and challenged these students to take on the call.
Sasha - the wonder translator! Also a key part of the youth team
developing in the Irkutsk region 8 hours west of Buryatia.
