So even though I know I haven't given this blog out to anyone yet, so no one is reading right now, I did promise I would put the whole trip on this blog, including the prep work.
In addition to our fundraising and donation collection, we all have to acquire a travel visa from a Russian Consulate to enter Russia. This has proven a challenge to the team (at least for the teammates I talk to regularly). As with most countries (I would assume) getting a visa requires very precise paperwork, applications, and a bit of cash.
Long story short, we have all given our passports to the Russian Consulate and are praying we get them back in time with approval and all the right stamps.
My reaction to this: The Apostles didn't need travel visas to go to Antioch, Jerusalem, Greece, or Rome; therefore, it is unfair that we have to get them to go to Russia. At least we have God on our side to help us through this.
