Russia Missions Trip - Update

As an update to my previous post I wanted to post a couple of new links, great information about Transformation Christian Center - Russia.

This video provides a great overview of TCC's mission and purpose.  And here you can open and print a PDF of the TCC brochure.  Provides a really good summary of their current and future ministries.  

Below are pictures of the actual site, this is the building we will be working on, and the Hutchcrafts.

Transformation Christian Center - Tambov Russia 

For those that have already checked out the blog, videos, etc.  Thank you!  And to those that have already given, thank you so much!  

We continue ot work on raising funds for this trip; as well as support by way of prayer and advice.  

I'm looking for support on a few different levels:

• Prayer - Please be praying for me and for the entire team as we prepare for and then arrive in Tambov.  For many of us, this is both our first missions trip and first time traveling abroad. 
• Advice - I'm looking for advice from others who have done this before; either gone on a missions trip or traveled to Russia recently.  Please post advice by way of comments on this site or shoot me an e-mail. 
• Financial - Northridge asks its short-term missions folks to fund 1/3 of their trip expenses thru fund-raising efforts like this one. Anything over my $1000 personal fund-raising goal will help defray the cost of construction materials for the trip.  We’re estimating that building materials will run about $12,000.  There are a few different ways to donate:
• You can donate online 
• You can send a check directly to Send International, details below.
• If you'd like a PDF of a giving form to send in via US Mail just let me know and I'll get it to you. 

In His Name!
