News from a Shaking Bus

News from a Shaking Bus Written by Ashley on Sunday morning Right now, we Voices in Praise are traveling via bus on a narrow, rickety road through a vast forest on our way back to the city of Voronezh from Camp Kristall. We've had quite the adventure getting to the camp, to say the very least, but it has most definitely been worth it. Over the past day and a half, we have sang well,  had some (surprisingly?) good food, cheered, played, swam, worked, and, most importantly, met and formed some great connections in fellowship with many new Russian friends. Every person could tell one of many  stories of our interactions: about the picture drawn for them by a sweet little girl, the joy in finding out they shared tastes in music with one of the kids, or even the excitement of the intense Kristall/VIP combined soccer game. And as we met last night in devotional to discuss how things went before we continue on our journey, it was clear that we were part of a different, changed VIP. As much as this trip is meant to make a difference, whether small or gigantic, in the lives of the Russian people we encounter, it is one for us to grow as people of God. And we are most surely taking advantage of that remarkable opportunity.
