Praises – Rejoice with us!
Last month, we requested prayer that our Ukrainian national Igor Fomichov be allowed to leave Ukraine long enough to visit supporting churches in the U.S. We’re happy to report that he is with us and will be speaking in Indiana, Illinois, and Kansas. Praise the Lord!
The autumn session of the Seminary in Kyiv is currently in progress. It has 35 students, including 4 new ones, which is encouraging during this time of war, which makes it much harder for students to attend.
Our missionaries in Western Asia report another 4 souls have joyfully placed their faith in Christ!
Our director for Central Asia states, “Our believers have just come through intense persecution from the secret police. Praise God that our church plants are meeting, and the kidney function has returned to the men who were beaten. Another brother’s arm has healed after having been broken by a police baton.”
Prayer – Pray with us!
The church in Lviv, Ukraine, is growing, which opens more doors for ministry than our church-planter can handle alone. Besides regular meetings with the church, youth, men, and a regular Bible institute, he conducts Bible studies with new converts and those interested. Please pray the Lord will send someone who can assist Yura in this ministry.
In the nation of Georgia, Parliamentary elections are scheduled for October 26. The current ruling party has been strengthening its ties with Russia, resulting in protests and polarization among its citizens. The election could greatly affect all missionaries in that land. Please pray for election results that permit evangelism to continue.
Although we are still only in the beginning stages of collecting donations for our next war-relief shipment to Ukraine, we are monitoring the current strike by dock workers with concern. Without them working in the ports, it will not be possible to ship out aid. Pray for a resolution soon.
In Central Asia, our third year of the Afghani Bible Institute has started smoothly regardless of the persecution. We have 32 students. Please pray that we will be able to meet our funding needs for each month.
