“First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be made for everyone, for kings and all those who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.” 1 Timothy 2:1-2 (HCSB)
Hello Family and Friends! Our time at FPO is coming to a close. We have been busy learning as much as we can to be effective on the field. We are very excited about being closer to our final destination and working with the people God has burdened our hearts for and called us to.
We were able to take a trip to Washington, DC to experience some cross-cultural awareness. We got to ride the Metro (subway) which Lee and Emma Grace had never done. We will have to take public transportation in Russia while living in the city so this was a very helpful experience. We encountered several different nationalities, heard lots of languages we couldn’t understand and got to witness to people who do not have a faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Two in our group were able to lead a young lady and gentleman to Christ. PRAISE THE LORD!!! We were able to see many things in our nation’s capital. Emma Grace was so funny when she saw the Washington Monument. She said, “Whoa! That thing is huge!” We were able to prayer walk from the White House to the Capitol Building. Our county’s leaders need our prayers.
FPO ends October 2 (next Tuesday) and we will begin our journey back to Mississippi to await travel arrangements. We are still waiting for our Letter of Invitation from the Russian Baptist Union so we may obtain visas. Continue to pray for this situation even though we know everything will work out in God’s timing. Pray for discernment for us as we make final decisions on what to pack.
Thanks for Holding the Rope,
Roberts Family (Marty, Suzanne, Lee & Emma)
Philippians 4:13
