Oh, Canada!It's been a while since the last 'Headings! Here's a summary for those who've missed news of the past six months:Our family underwent a colossal struggle to prepare to leave our home of seven years. We had to part with most of our material possessions (we had to get everything down to ten suitcases) and say goodbye to Nina, our ministry co-workers and our friends. Less than a month

Canada, Here We Come! An early Valentine's gift arrived on the 13th: "the" letter came from the Canadian Embassy in Moscow! In it, we were told that Lena & Sonia's immigration visas were ready for pickup. Praise the Lord! After over a year of forms, mailings, paying, waiting & praying we finally have the permission to travel as a complete family to Canada. We have sent the passports to Moscow and

"We don't want to go home!"Lena & I heard those words several times from our girls this past summer. The past two months saw a lot of travel—first a family trip to Finland (July 4-14) and then four of us spent four days at our church youth camp north of St. Petersburg (August 21-24). After camp I returned to Helsinki alone for a three-day seminar (25-27th).This summer was likely our

ChangesThe past two months have seen a lot of endings and beginnings in our life. Sonia graduated from high school and began new studies in jewellery design; Lena completed a five-month hairdressing course; Nina spent several weeks in the hospital for high blood pressure and an indeterminate heart condition; and I have begun the process of transitioning out of day-to-day CCI/Russia work.With all

Decision Made!Those were the words that greeted us a short time ago on our daily visit to the Immigration Canada web site. Shortly afterwards we received a letter confirming that my application to sponsor Lena & Sonia for permanent residency in Canada was approved! Praise the Lord!
