Giving for brothers in Russia to attend ITERO
The Fall 2025 ITERO will be held in Malaysia. Because of the current situation in Russia, the co-workers are burdened to help as many leading ones as possible (perhaps as many as 100) in the Russian-speaking churches to attend the Fall ITERO. The estimated total cost per brother is $2,000 USD. If 50% or more of the needed funds (approximately $100,000 USD total) could be provided by churches outside the Russian-speaking world, that would be wonderful. If you have any feeling to give, please make the offering to the church in Berkeley and designate it for "Russian-speaking brothers"
