Going to the Harbor

We are on our way! That's right. Chris and Anya Gandy have found a missions organization that we love! It is called "The Harbor" and it falls under a parent ministry called CRM. Check out The Harbor's website at: theharborspb.org. Little Nina can't wait to get to Russia, I can tell. She is already learning Russian since Anya only speaks Russian to the baby.
Well, many have asked us questions about our journey to Russia and I will take a little time here to answer those questions:
Where are we going?
To St. Petersburg, Russia to serve with The Harbor, a ministry that provides transitional housing and life-skills training for older orphans who have nowhere else to turn.
When are we going?
We plan to be fully funded and ready to go to Russia by September 1, 2010.
How long are we going for?
We feel strongly that God has called us to live our lives as career missionaries in Russia who serve cross-culturally long term.
How can someone help us in this journey?
We need teams of people to partner with!
1) A team of prayer warriors covering us with their intercession
2) A team of friends blessing us in practical ways throughout our journey (rides to the airport, places to stay from time to time)
3) A financial support network giving consisten monthly monetary donations to fund this ministry
4) friends and family referring us to groups and individuals that might be interested in giving to this ministry
How much should I give?
How do I give?
The ministry we have joined allows online donations, simply click here and choose your giving preferences.
What else can I do to help?
Pray, pray, pray! We have a long journey ahead of us. We will be traveling around visiting supporters and packing to get ready. Pass the word on to those you think may be interested! Let me know via e-mail if you are interested in an info-packet or if you have more questions; e-mail Chris at: chris.gandy@crmleaders.org
Russia, here we come!
