When following the heart of God, one never knows where the road will lead and how one is to get there. The Lord, however, has it all planned from the start. As each step of this journey to Russia draws me closer, I have to place my trust in the One who will provide.

Living in Moscow will not be easy, as the expense of living and basic transportation can be incredibly high. However, if there is one thing I have learned over the last three years since the Lord set me on this path, it is this: The Lord provides, and nothing is beyond Him. In placing my trust in Him, I know any goal can be achieved.

How can you help?

There are two ways in which you can help, the most important being prayer. The Lord wants to provide, but we must also ask. Please pray that the Lord would bless this year abroad in Moscow: the preparations leading up to it and the year itself. Also, please pray that the Lord would provide the financial support necessary to get me to Moscow and to keep me there serving in the school and in the city.

The second way to help is through financial support. Should you feel led to aid in this manner, donations may be sent to my parents in Virginia who will ensure that the money is deposited into my account. (Please note that this will not be tax-deductible as donations are not being channeled through a non-profit organization.) Checks are to be made out to Kellie Matthews. The mailing address is:

Thank you in advance for your prayers and support. You are already making a difference in my life and in the lives of those I will interact with in Moscow, Russia.
