About this listen
Russia, 1997-1998
Learning the language in order to bring the Gospel to people has a hidden drawback. The more they helped us with the language, the closer our relationship grew with them. And then it really hurt to say goodbye.
We spent only four weeks with some Russians learning their language, but at the end of our time, a number of them begged us to stay much longer. We couldn’t. The language school moved us every month to a new city in Russia, and after our first city of Nizhni Novgorod, we realized that we would never see those people again. Our extremely primitive language ability and only four weeks. We at least gave them all a Russian New Testament. We placed on trust in God’s Word, that if they were true seekers, they would eventually find our Savior (Matthew 7:7-8). But as our language ability improved, the faster and closer our relationships grew with them, and the harder it was too leave.
But what about all those Russians in those other cities who had never heard?
By the time we returned to St. Petersburg, we had decided to stay there long-term.
God had other plans for us.
