Russia
Posted by Drew | Filed under General
So in the shadow of Paul’s death, our staff team plus 4 students took a vision trip to Moscow, one of Auburn’s overseas partnerships, and my summer project assignment. Good trip. Moscow is big. And cold… though not as cold as we expected, and everyone there was so excited about how warm it was. I really like they way their ministry functions, and the good relationship they have with the universities there. But overall I would say it’s a very challenging place to be a missionary. I didn’t realize this before I went, but Russia is very similar to Italy in that most Russians claim to believe in a faith that they don’t really know much about, and cling more to their traditions in the Russian Orthodox Church than they do to Christ.
