USA - June 2002

(19 June) - Co-workers, John Powys and Kjell Olsen, returned safely from their trip on 18 June 2002. It was a blessed and very intensive trip. Services with Russian brethren were always with translation, because most do not understand English. The meetings were appreciated and there are many invitations to return.

(13 June) - John and Kjell report that the Lord has been blessing their trip. Last night, 12 June, they preached to a large Russian Baptist congregation in Everett, Seattle. The theme, started by John, was the story of the Samaritan woman from John 4. The Russian believers usually expect two sermons and John and Kjell expounded about the thirst of the woman (which she tried to quench with many men) and how Jesus alone can satisfy the longing of the soul. She was able to go (vs 26 and 27) to the men of the city and tell them to come and see a real Man.
The meeting on 13 June is in another Slavic church in Everett.
On Saturday morning they fly to Knoxville, Tenessee.

They were at the Telakogee Baptst Camp site for the family conference until Sunday (9 June 2002)

They also took a service in a Russian Baptist church on Sunday night.

Two co-workers, John Powys and Kjell Olsen, leave 2 June for a two week preaching trip to the USA.
