Please Pray With Us
Because we're leaving Moscow in 2 weeks, God is giving us some great last visits and conversations with people. Please pray with us for the following people.
- Constantine is our elderly neighbor. We were able to watch the Jesus film with him a few weeks ago and have had some great conversations about spiritual things. Pray that he would understand his need for a personal Savior.
- Oxana is a Ukrainian who was here caring for Constantine for 3 months. She watched the Jesus film with us also. She has gone back to the Ukraine now, but before she left, we were able to give her a Bible and tract and talk with her about Christ. Pray that God will give her a desire to read scripture and the tract and open her heart to understand and accept what she reads.
- Christina is Constantine's new caregiver. She is from the same small village in the Ukraine as Oxana. She is very open to discussing spiritual things. She is going to church with us this Sunday, May 20. Pray that the Holy Spirit will speak directly to her and call her into a relationship with God.
- Irena is a neighbor that Lori has developed a relationship with. Lori has been able to talk with her many times and has given her a Bible and tracts in Russian. A huge barrier in her coming to Christ is that she is an alcoholic. Pray for God to remove her need and desire for alcohol so that she can think straight and understand that only Christ can fill the void in her life that she so often tries to fill with alcohol.
- Olim is our muslim friend who attends our little Baptist church with us almost every week. This week or next week will be our last chance to visit with him. Brad plans to speak very directly with him about spiritual condition. Pray for him.
- Galina is an elderly lady who has been attending the G. Church for some time now. Brad talked very openly with her on Wednesday, telling her that she needs to make a decision for Christ. Pray that the Holy Spirit will give her understanding of her need to personally say "yes" to Christ.
- Valera is a man who came to the Jesus film showing several months ago. He has been attending the G. Church ever since and seems to fit right in and feel a part of the church. He has not repented and accepted Christ. Pray that he soon will.
- Andrae is a friend of Genady who came one time to the G. Church. On that day, he stood and asked everyone to pray for him. He is an alcoholic who is not a Christian.
- Igor is the wife of Natasha who is the newest Believer in the G. Church. She accepted Christ about a month ago. At first her husband was against this, but it seems that God is working in his life. He comes to the home group every Sunday afternoon and listens. I saw Natasha last night and told her that I would ask Christians in America to pray for her husband.
- Zhena and Irena are relatives of Igor and Natasha. They all attend a home group that meets on Sunday afternoons. Marina, the leader of this group believes that both Zhena and Irena are very close to accepting Christ. Pray for the Holy Spirit to move in a mighty way in that group Sunday afternoon. They actually meet about the time that churches in America are meeting for SS and worship, so if you could pray for them in your churches today, that would be awesome.
- Constantine is our elderly neighbor. We were able to watch the Jesus film with him a few weeks ago and have had some great conversations about spiritual things. Pray that he would understand his need for a personal Savior.
