One more Elder retreat

Why agane so soon?

Looks like Lord willing for me and Luda to go for another church plant. To be able to do that I have to leave the church having good leadership and stable budget.
John and Naomi Musgrave host us with exellent food and living conditions at House of Grace.
Along with that, John prepared for us good training seminar and important questions&answers time regarding eldership and leadership in general.
Guys was very uplifted with nice accomodation and deep topics.
We was able to create realistic buget for 2010 and further, discuss many other questions of church's life.
I'm proud to have such guys around me...
Sometimes I think... mey be not to go anywhere, it is so nice here in anapa, with such friends :-)

Novorossiysk retreat

We came to the retreat with one purpose - to create common plan for church development in 2010 and further.
What was special about this retreat - the potential replacement for me as the pastor, Vladimir Gruzda was with us, actively participating in planning.
It is a third elder retreat with him, but first with strategic planning like this.
As  the result of the common work, we made plans for evangelistic events for whole year, prayer crusades, other exiting things.
Now - our job to fulfill this plans for His Glory!
