Greetings from southern Russia. I am with an AIA USA Basketball Team here for for 4 days of clinics for teenage players, and a game against the Os. allstar team. The team's first three days were spent at the Ch. sports training center near Moscow. We had a good team meeting with the junior national women's basketball team for Russia. We share about AIA and a player gave his testimony. Each of the girls received an AIA DVD with 8 sport films and the Jesus film. Today we did a clinic with 25 teenage basketball players and were cheered on by over 200 school kids. All heard testimonies and received team brochures with individual player photos, a testimony and the four spiritual laws. We are escorted by police where eveer we travel. They had a bomb squad sweep the sport complex beofr the team arrived. Please pray for our safety. We have a game everyday next week, here in V., then in N. Next we drive in a small bus through the night to Vo. There we have four games. We will finish the tour on an overnight train to Moscow and some sightseeing in the capital on June 15. Early morning June 16th the team flies back to the USA. We have 5,000 brochures to distribute, 100 sport New Testaments for opposing players, as well as 200 DVDs for officials, coaches and other VIPS. Please pray for us as we share the gospel. I am the tour discipler, leading spiritual time each day with the guys. Thanks for your prayers.
