Sheri Medlock taught English for a year in Moscow at the same school where we are part-time teachers. She returned to the US in July to work with the College Heights Christian Church as an intern in preparation for returning to Russia for permanent ministry.

At the church she leads a children's class and is getting acquainted with various staff workers and members. Recently she attended a two-week PILAT course in Colorado. The classes help missionaries learn skills in acquiring a new language. She meets regularly with a Russian lady who is helping her learn Russian now. Sheri also is a substitute teacher in the Joplin public schools.

One priority for Sheri during her time in the US is raising support for her return to Moscow. Recently a sixteen-year-old girl asked her friends to donate money for Sheri instead of giving the girl a birthday gift. She presented Sheri with over $100. In her recent newsletter, Sheri commented on how that act of faith encouraged her. Sheri continues to raise support.

Sheri intended to move back to Moscow in February. However, due to various reasons, she will now return the first part of the summer. She wants to make language learning her first priority. Her previous ministry of working with young adults will most likely continuse just as during her first year in Moscow.
