to how much food they can buy,
there was plenty of food available at
that time o f year. “ It could be a dif
ferent story during the winter,”
Donna said, as they seem to lack an
adequate distribution system.
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.

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
