The average Russian wage in rubles is equal to $10 American dollars per month. Everyone has a job and they are paid whether they show up for work or not. They don’t seem to understand job performance in order to hold a job, so many Rus sians who immigrate to this country go back home after being here for a year, Donna said. Soviet towns are mostly dull and shoddy, Donna said. The buildings are cheaply constructed. And many Moscow Russians live in high rise apartment buildings where extended families live in cramped quarters. They have few luxuries but they keep their apartments clean, she said. She added, however, that the hall ways looked as though they were never swept. Both the Catholic and Protestant religion exist in Russia, and people there are finding the courage to wor ship again, Donna said. But Russian people seem so depressed—they never smile in public. People atten ding church sit very still. They never move, she said. It became obvious to her that Russia women have no active church roles, men and women sit in separate areas o f the church. Since this missionary group car ried medical supplies in addition to religious literature, their bus had a Red Cross sign which made border crossings much easier. People are often detained there for days, they said. And vehicles are driven over a pit where they can be inspected thoroughly. From Kiev, after a long hassle of obtaining airplane tickets, the Bergstroms flew to Moscow. After spending three days there, they again struggled to obtain airplane passage home. They spent a day and one night at the Moscow airport. ‘‘It’s an cxpei ieiicc we might not ever again undertake,” Donna said. “ But it certainly made me more aware of how much we take for granted.” Along with helping to plant seeds to help Russians regain- their faith in God, she said the ex perience gave her a new focus on wanting to share more with others.

M IC H IG A N Switching roles from retired Gooseberry farmers to missionaries going into countries once dominated by communism gave Roland and Donna Bergstrom a renewed pro spective on the basics to sustain life and the hunger for religion by peo ple who have not been allowed to worship freely. In September the Bergstroms joind others for a three-week trip into Ger many, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Russia. And according to Donna, ‘‘This was not just another sight seeing trip; we were there for the business o f carrying the word of God.” It took lots o f prayers for this Valby Lutheran Church couple to decide if they should risk personal safety and go on this mission, Don na said. But they joined an 11-member volunteer team o f ‘‘prayer warriors” in New York Ci ty for a two-day orientation before flying to Frankfurt, Germany. Since she first heard Dr. Bob Heil speak many years ago, Donna said she has followed his work as he answered the call to help train religious leaders in under privileg ed and communist countries. Dr. Heil has arranged many o f these non-denominational missions at the International Leadership Training Institute in Columbus, Ohio. He developed a three-year program for leaders in out-reach ministries throughout the world. Going into those countries on the heels of the Russian coup took courage. But they “ went on faith” Donna said, hoping the Lord would take care o f them. As Americans, it was unusual not to know where they might find shelter along the way. However they were warmly receiv ed in some homes in spite of a language barrier. With much forethought, the Bergstrom s packed very few changes o f clothing for the trip, but their three suitcases were crammed with food and other things that they gave to host families as gifts. They bought inexpensive digital watches for children, packages of M and M’s and they were given fountain pens and cosmetics to distribute. They also had the foresight to take sleeping bags for the nights spent on an old bus without bathroom facilities. They found that although Russian host families are rationed as Give us a call today for all your heating needs.
