We had exactly 100 people, including our staff at our recent retreat outside of Nalchik. Dargins, Arabs, Circassians, Tabasarrans, Syrians were just some of the nationalities represented there. Our speaker, Ronnie Stevens, did a stellar job addressing the audience from John’s gospel. Not surprisingly, it was provocative - as the gospel always is. A highlight of the weekend was on the final morning when four young men from different Caucasus people groups each prayed to the Most High God in his own native language!
By the way, repelling was the favorite freetime activity. And national dancing was a big hit in the evenings. The video below gives a flavor of some of the local, national music.
