How do you say Catalyst in Russian? Anyone???

I wanted to write a short note letting you know that I am going to be traveling through Russia for the next two weeks with a volleyball team from Athletes in Action (AIA). You may remember our February 11th visit to the Athletes in Action Headquarters in Xenia, OH and our interview with the President of AIA, Bill Pugh. This is a great opportunity and while it is clear that our focus will be ministry through the platform provided by sports and competition, I am asking the Lord for opportunities to connect with church leaders in Russia and hopefully catch a glimpse of what God is doing on the front line of church in a country where the spiritual landscape has dramatically shifted in recent history.

The AIA Volleyball Team Blog will have updates posted from time to time but because we will have very limited, and at best sporadic internet access, we are unsure how often we will be able to post. The Catalyst Road Trip Blog will continue to be updated each weekday so stay tuned for more news from the Land of the Vanagon!

(What is the most random and off the wall road trip snack you've ever seen? Chad found one last week that I had never heard of; you may have, but it was brand new to me. Still not sure what I think about it - check back on Monday to hear more... )
