Head coverings and prayer rugs

March 2011 update

Alright friends spring is almost here and I want to share with you a quick update about our family and ministry. First of all I want to share with you about "Good Soil": that is the evangelism and discipleship seminars that we have been doing since September. We've had two seminars already this year: one in Kiev, Ukraine and the other in Kremunchug, central Ukraine and our next seminar is planned for this weekend, so please pray.

Friday and Saturday in our home church, I'll be helping to lead that seminar. Also pray that we have more guys who can lead these seminars because one of the problems is that we just don't have enough trained men to teach these seminars. The demand is more than we can meet right now, which I guess is a good thing, Praise the Lord!

Another thing we can praise the Lord for is that we had a great missions class here recently at our international training center with 23 students and 4 professors. They were doing all kinds of cross cultural things, dressing up and trying different traditions. This was a prerequisite for these students who want to go on a cross cultural missions trip this summer. They will be going from Ukraine to Moldova and working with a church there to do some evangelism. Please pray for these students especially those going this summer to Moldova that the Lord would use them. It is exciting to see them get excited to do missions, these are Ukrainians doing missions!

Also pray for Christina, march 26th she is going to be speaking at a South Ukraine Women's conference, there will be around 150 women there. She will be speaking on the topic "Fellowship with God". I know she would appreciate your prayers as she prepares and for the women who will be coming to that conference.

This evening I am starting something new at our church. I am going to be doing five lessons on preaching. The church has asked me to do this. We have about 15 guys who preach in our church so pray for me as I teach these guys how to preach so that they can effectively and accurately teach God's Word to God's people. I am pretty excited about that.

Finally, I know I asked for this before but continue to pray for our pastor, Pastor Peter. I visited him last week up in the hospital in Kiev. He is very weak, he has not been able to eat much but he has found some doctors who think they can operate on the tumor. However, first they need to get his strength up so they are giving him food through IV and maybe by the end of this week he will be strong enough for the surgery, so pray for him, pray for the doctors, pray for Peter and his family!

Again, thank you for your prayers and may God bless you!
