Welcome to the Bull Family — long-term missionaries

July 29, 2009

bull_family_webWe welcome John and Karen Bull to our ‘family’.  The Lord is bringing growth through the relationships He is establishing.

John and Karen have become good friends of Stoneworks Executive Director Mike Cantrell, and through that relationship we sense the Lord calling us to work together. John and Karen are based in St. Petersburg, Russia.

They and their four kids (Katie, Melissa, Mark and Matthew) felt the Lord speak to them about moving to Russia in 2006.   After much prayer and seeking His ways, they were directed to St. Petersburg for a short term mission trip to work with a family home for graduated orphans.

As the Lord continued to work in their hearts, they started making strides in moving over to officially work with the family home. They arrived in September of 2008 and have been involved with MIR, Road of Life, orphan dormitory work, Child in Danger Shelter and several orphanages. Read more

We continue our hosting program; twice a year we send Russian orphans to live with American host families for 4-6 weeks.  Twenty five children and four adults safely arrived in the USA on June 25.  This is our second trip under new regulations the administration of the city placed on hosting programs. Gladly, the preparation for the trip went very smoothly, the permits and visas were issued a week before departure. Read more
