The Focus Team

Pictured from L to R: Dan, Ed, David,
Neil (seated), Kameron, Peyton, Mark

The above picture is three of our team members (Dan, Peyton, and Mark) with the four guys from New Mexico State University and Focus International that are here for the summer to work with our team. Neil is playing the guitar, David and Kameron are in the middle directly behind Neil, and Ed is at the back left. These seven guys sang two songs during the first ever combined worship service between two of the regions that our team is engaged in the Northern District. It was a first step in what may be a new strategy for our team as we enjoyed a time of worship and encouragement together.

Pray for these four guys. While many of their friends are no doubt doing a variety of things of their choosing this summer, these guys have made a decision to spend their summer (after a long year of studying) living in a very tough place and working with Russian students.
