MISSIONS MOMENT with Creig and Sherry Marlowe

From May 8-15 we were in, Riga, Latvia, where Creig again (since 2018) taught OT Poetic & Wisdom Books at the Latvian Biblical Centre. Approximately 100 students are enrolled at LBC in various programs (undergrad or grad). They are Latvian- or Russian-speaking. I enjoy their boldness to ask hard questions. My lectures are simultaneously translated into both languages, although some follow the (even Southern-accented) English. LBC is an accredited interdenominational institution and seeks to build bridges between the churches. Graduates use their biblical training mostly for church ministry and evangelism if not for a stepping stone to university programs. They have recently started a family ministry program which has proven quite popular.

PRAISE that 1) the zoom lectures to India are now complete. 2) Creig is about a third of the way through his OT Introduction course in Ethiopia. So far technology has been cooperative.  PRAY that the Gospel will spread in Latvia. Many of the young adults are looking for opportunities outside the country, leaving many businesses and the church struggling economically.
