Thursday and Friday
That's right, Elena Antropyanskaya Hibbler arrived in North Carolina on Thursday June 24th. Craig Miller, Desana Board Member and Russia Team Director, picked her up in Charlotte and drove to Winston Salem. It was a late night and an even earlier morning when Craig and Elena headed out to a morning Christian breakfast meeting with the New Canaan Society of Winston Salem. NCS is a gathering of men who want to experience life-changing relationships with each other under the umbrella of a friendship with Jesus. "Life-changing relationships" ..... that was a good fit for Elena to meet a few people and tell her story. From all reports so far, it was worth getting up early!The rest of the day continued to be a whirl wind of meetings with groups and individuals. Craig and Elena were given many opportunities to tell the Desana story to people that shared our same mission - to improve and enrich the lives of the children of poverty. I know it was a very busy day to for both Craig and Elena. Watch for a report with more details when Elena gets a chance to catch her breath.
