Here is some more information which I recently received.Horst Dear Friends, Please remember the Camps in your prayers. They will be in the U.S. at the end of January 2011. We pray that all goes well on this trip and that they travel safely. Pastor Camp's prayerletter is the "Oct2010.doc" attachment.

I leave this weekend for Nizhniy Novgorod to do a parish seminar there--I will include that in next month's report. I wanted to get this to you all before I left. This month had some very interesting happenings--attached is my usual prayerletter and a bunch of pictures... GNturyo This month while I was away in Vladikavkaz, Zhanya organized and translated for a pro-life seminary at the parish in Turyo. She also distributed a couple of issues of the Good News journal to those who attended. Our supply of those journals is limited, so we try to put them to good use. There is a balance--they are a valuable resource, but they do no good sitting on our shelves in the office--they need to be put into people's hands so they can read them. GNvkigor--during my visit to Vladikavkaz and the parish there, I also gave several copies of an issue of the Russian version of GoodNews to Igor, the man who is studying to be the pastor to use with his congregation. Koltushevisit--this month I took the time to visit the Ingrian Seminary (where more than 100 students are studying in various programs). I met with several students I know to encourage them in their studies, met also with several pastors, visited Pastor Don Richman's class on prayer--in short it was an intense but productive visit. PastorAlexander--from Birsk stopped by the Ingrian Mission office on his way to attend the annual Synod. He is from the Ural district--the only district in Ingria I have yet to visit. Although I have an open invitation to visit a number of pastors and parishes there, I explained to Alex that I usually wait for a more concrete invitation. pastorAndrei--Pastor Andrei Vladimirov, who is working with the remnant parish in Veronesh in the Volga region spent some time with me. He later came to visit me at my apartment where we had a good talk and some prayer time. The parish in Veronesh is struggling because it has no permanent place to meet. PLTuryoDon--Pastor Don Richman, Lutherans for Life international liason, presented on the humanity of the unborn at the seminar Zhanya organized (she also translated for Don). PLturyoZDA--Don Richman, Turyo parish Pastor Alex Khlynov and Zhanya VKbeslancemetary--on the way from the Vladikavkaz airport to the city lies a relatively new cemetary where lie the remains of the victims of a terrorist act from a couple of years ago. Terrorists siezed a local school and ultimately the school had to be stormed by the spetznaz. Over 200 casualties all buried here. aaemailVKchurchservice--two pictures of the church service in Vladikavkaz (read the details in the attached prayer letter). TuryoKN--I also continue to work in Turyo mentoring the leaders. Karl and Nastya often have to come with me--here they are studying at a side table while I work. VKchurch--in 1904 the Lutheran Parish in Vladikavkaz built a new building. In 1927 the Communist government closed it and turned it over to the city's philharmonic orchestra. In October 2010 after 83 years the Lutherans again worshipped and celebrated the Lord's Supper in the sanctuary. Blessings, Leif
