Summer Visits to Northwest US

This summer, Pastor Andrei Kolegov visited the Northwest United States. During the visit he was able to connect with many friends of the Russian church. Former CoMissioner's, Orlo & Carol Kretlow, (who served from 1995-96) and Dennis & Georgia Miller (International Christian Ministries, scheduled to visit Chelyabinsk in October 2009)hosted him. Pastor Andrei first visited Mt. Scott Church of God in Portland, Oregon, one of the churches who helped get the Window Project going the summer of 2008. He also met with the mission team of Lynchwood Church of God, also in Portland and met many who have supported the Russian church in prayer and ongoing partnership. His journey concluded with a time of sharing at the First Church of God in Vancouver, Washington. The Vancouver church helped the Chelyabinsk church years ago to help make the initial purchase of property for the building project. Pastor Andrei's time in the Northwest was full of opportunities to share the gratitude and appreciation of the Russian believers for the support and prayers to those that have partnered with the Window Project, in the past, present, and future.
