In November of 2000, I (Mike) moved to Russia to help establish a Russian Charity named MIR.  A little over a year later I married Olga.  In 2011, we welcomed a four year old Russian girl named Valerie into our home. Over the years, God has led us and blessed us in many ways.

We now live in Russia and spend time in the US, Finland, and Estonia.  I’m the Executive Director of Stoneworks International, a Christian mission organization with projects in Russia, Belarus, Estonia and Montenegro.

We hope you’ll wander around here, learn more about us and see evidence of the goodness of God.

    Thanks. I’ve enjoyed working on it. A friend at church here said she’s following you on your blog. I hope you’re well.

    Oh my! I came over from Elizabeth’s blog…this is really nice!
    I don’t know what it was like before…but what great things you have available on here. I borrowed a youtube of the metro from here…and I might also borrow your Russian word of the day.

    John shared some things you guys talked about…deep stuff and good things to chew on! Thanks for all the time you are investing in all of us missionaries:). Tell Olga hello for me!

    I’m glad you like the site. And it’s great to get to you know you and your family better. Let’s have dinner when I get back from Belarus.
