Up and coming travel

This blog has been inactive a long time, but in the next several months I'm going to be posting again.
I got my plane tickets and my visa back from the Belarus Embassy, so I'm ready to go. I'm going to Minsk to conduct a worship seminar in May. I'll start teaching Sunday afternoon around 3:00 and then teach until around 9:00. I'll be teaching on Monday and Tuesday nights also.

This time it is not with TCM Institute, but something that Nikolai Sinkovets and myself worked out. Nikolai is the president of the Christian Evangelical Baptist Union for Belarus. He was a former student of mine back in 2005. I met him again in the states last December at the Slavic Christian Church down in Baltimore. Pam and I were there on a Wednesday night to hear a concert from several musicians from Belarus. I was a wonderful time to see him and renew our friendship. At that time he offered me an invitation to go to Minsk and give a worship seminar. It took awhile but we finally got all the arrangements completed.
After coming back from Minsk, Pam and I will be going back to TCM Institute in the middle of June and stay until the beginning of August. I will be going back to Romania but teaching in a different part of the country, not Bucharest. And then I'm going back to Ukraine. This time I'm going to be teaching in L'viv. It will be my first time there.
More to come.
