Faith in Action...

Here is a prayer request my mum sent me. As you will read these people are going to have to live by faith over the next few months. Pray for them!

There seem to be some major problems at the Russian Evangelicals/Baptist Union headquarters. All of that has been supported by Russian nationals but specifically one wealthy man. We don’t know the whole story, but he developed some different ideas that they could not agree with, so that support has abruptly stopped. And that means that basically all plans have to be put on hold. The majority of leaders have been “laid off” for 2 or 3 months without pay. All of the departments are being run by just a couple people interim which means there basically is no missions department—which could severely affect the church planting efforts. All and all it is a serious situation.

How to pray?

Ø That the God of all resources would open the windows of heaven and pour out His abundance.

Ø That many people’s hearts would be moved to meet this crisis. God has His people everywhere.

Ø That the leaders would not give in to discouragement and that God’s Kingdom would go on and even become stronger in the face of difficulty.

Ø That Satan would be defeated and God glorified.

Ø Just pray as the Holy Spirit leads you. He knows much better than we all the issues involved.
