We recently spent a weekend of ministry in a Slavic Baptist Music Conference and in a church in the Washington-Oregon part of the US. We were again showered with love by these precious people who have latched on to us and our music. In addition to speaking at the music conference, they again had an evening of what they call Ron and Patricia Music Celebration. In addition to their doing some of our choral anthems they also had us sing and play.

We now are trying to process all that this means. They have asked for more of our works that they will translate into Russian. We could never have dreamed, years ago, the extent to which God was going to use what He wrote through us among the Slavic churches. It certainly is His doing.

An added “big blessing” was getting to be with our dear friends from Moscow; Evgeny, Luda and Kirill Goncharenko. They were in Seattle to teach at the Institute of Spiritual Music that they have established in the NW Association of Slavic Baptist churches. It is similar to what has been going on in Moscow for years. And, as some of you know, it was Evgeny whom God used to introduce our music to the lands of Russia beginning in 1985.

We wish you could be with us to experience a worship service at the Salvation Slavic Baptist Church in the Seattle area. It of course is all in Russian, but you don’t have to know the language to sense God’s presence. And oh, the music! Imagine a big choir, a 40 piece orchestra and 20 of them strings! And so many gifted young musicians.
To those who pray for us, THANK YOU. You are a part of whatever God is able to do through us. Yes, to HIM be the glory!
