Praises and Prayer Requests:
  • Praise the Lord we got a court date.....Friday, October 21. Unfortunately, this was the same day that Jim was scheduled to come home. It was later than we expected as well as more costly and more difficult for Jim's return trip, but we're still so very thankful.  
  • Pray for the salvation of Sergei, our facilitator. He will be moving in with us today. With as much time as we spend with him, pray that we will be able to impact him for Christ.
  • Pray for the continued deepening of our relationship with Vanya and for all the changes he is currently anticipating.
A favorite song to share with you all:
