Praises and Requests
- An elderly couple, Vladimir and Valentina, accepted Christ as Lord and Savior at the Timi Church Thursday Bible Study at the senior center. Both are in their late 70s. Praise the Lord for His work in their lives. They will be leaving to go to their dacha for the summer, so we don't have a lot of time for follow up. Pray for the Holy Spirit to work in them over the summer as they spend time in the Word.
- One of the small groups from the Timi Church meets weekly on Sundays in the home of a lady named Ina Alexandrovna. She is not a Christian. Last week, the leaders of the group were excited to hear Ina pray out loud with them for the first time. Pray for salvation for this dear lady.
- We will be having our 4th annual Church Planting Conference this weekend, May 4-6. Please pray for the Holy Spirit to teach us all through his Word and the different seminars. Pray for Brad as he will be leading most of the conference. Pray for clarity as he leads the whole thing in Russian. Pray that those in attendance will hear what God has to say to each of them about how He wants them to be involved in His work of reaching the Northern District of Moscow with the Gospel of Christ.
- Our neighbor, Irena, stopped by this morning. We have been talking with her and praying for her salvation for many months. She is an alcoholic and this makes communication very difficult at times. But this morning she stopped by to say that she is not going to drink for 60 days. Today is day 2. She has prayed and asked God to help her. Please pray with us that God will give Irena strength not to drink for a time so that she can think clearly about her spiritual condition. She said that when she sees us out her window, it reminds her to pray and ask God for help. Maybe God will give us some good weather to play outside more so that she can be reminded of God.
- Please continue to pray for salvation for: Olim, Igor, Constantine, Oxana, Christina, Andrae, Galina, Valera and others who live in the north of Moscow who are lost without Christ.
