(and no, tom and i did not plan to wear matching shirts!
)- please pray for marina and dasha who are going off to university at the end of this month. they are young believers who have been filled with the Spirit and are taking in the pure milk of God's Word. pray they stay rooted and grounded in Jesus' love and make a priority of being in fellowship in their new cities (its a blessing that in both the cities where they are going, kharkov and kiev respectively, there are calvary chapels)
- pray for nina and her husband sergei (who got saved a couple days after nina!) - their son is under serious oppresion from the enemy (drug addiction, hallucinations, etc.) pray for him to be set free. pray also for nina and sergei as they are trying to decide where to fellowship. after learning that they gave their lives to the Lord, an aquaintance of theirs is very forcibly trying to convince them to go to another church that has some serious false teaching. pray for the Holy Spirit to guide their decision and not be pressured by man, but led by Him.
- pray for alyona's dad. he was once on fire for the Lord and led a Bible study at their old church, but he is now on a drinking binge and was just taken to a state detox clinic. pray for his restoration and God's peace in the family (who are all believers) during this time.
- pray for kristina - she is actually an orphan from the internat we go to. she started coming earlier in the summer and actually prayed to receive the Lord at our service Jul. 15 (thanks for the bday present, Lord!
) the orphans are a very tough group and its very hard to not be influenced by the ungodliness there, but kristina desires to live for Jesus. pray for her to be filled with His power and especially for battles with anger and help quitting smoking.
thanks for praying!
