Praise and Prayer


A great day! We shared the Gospel today and used the evangecubes in our small group time.  There were about 35 kids who we prayed with individually to receive Jesus as their Savior and Lord. 
We ask special prayer for some older boys who have not prayed; Sergei, Artem, and Yarik. We pray that their hearts will be softened and open and will want what our students have shown them-the saving grace of Jesus Christ and for them to commit their life to Christ. It's a lot to pray for but our God is BIG and wants all to come to the truth and saving faith in Christ. 
Also, pray for safe travel to the next village and for flexibility when we get there because it is all unknown!

(this is Pam) I would like to add that we pray for the local church to follow up with these kids so they can grow in their understanding of their new faith in Jesus. Also so that the one's who have not yet prayed will have their seeds watered. These older boys have heard the Gospel the last few years and I know God's Word will not go void. There is a small Christian church in the village and I hope it is growing and reaching out to the kids in the village. We can pray for a revival in that church. The church is not the building, it is the people. They are very sweet, loving people and I know they care about their community. May God use them in a mighty way for His glory and may that village be known for their love for God and their love for God's children-especially the fatherless.
