Reach Ukraine Update(emails I get about missionaries in Ukraine!)

Next week we will be partnering with local believers and a volunteer group from AL to have 4 children's camps.  In addition, we'll also be doing a construction/renovation project with one of the churches where we will be working. These will be done in a region about 3 hours from where we live. Two of them will be in schools; all of them are connected to local bodies that can follow up and try to involve these children after the camps.  
Please pray for all our US team for strength and stamina.
Pray for Holy Spirit to bring openness in the hearts of the children. 
Pray for Mike and Linda coordinating these 4 locations.

I always relied on St. Mary's intersession and prayed to her, but now I know that only Jesus is the true Savior!" When Vasyl was asked if he would like to pray and receive Christ he answered, "I will happily do that!"

Prayer Walking...asking God where and how...

Prayer walking, asking God to reveal how and where He is working...
For several of the past weeks we have been prayer walkingan area of our city to ask God about starting a church there. There is a group of believers (some of our group are very young prayer walkers) who are interested in seeing a work started there, and prayer walking is one of the most strategic and important things we can do to see where God would lead and how He might guide us.  
Pray for the Visokovoltnaya region of our city, and for us to see where God is at work.
