Prayer Requests and update

Dear friends,
we just wanted to share some of our prayer requests for some of the kids here in Ukraine. Serjey, Michelle and I have are getting together once a week for a prayer meeting and we want to ask you to join us in prayer for the kids.

We believe that prayer is one of the most significant things we can do for these kids since we are involved in a spiritual battle ministering to them. It is not merely a social waork we are involved in but a real battle for their lives and souls. These kids really need our prayers and the old saying says that "it takes a village to raise a kid" and I want to say that "it takes the Body of Christ to pray for the orphan kids". Please join us in prayer for these kids this week:

Nadya an orphanage graduate who ran away from the orphanage at the end of the last school year. She never passed her final exams and she doesnt have any documents and doesnt study anywhere now. I heard that she lives with a guy who doesnt treat her well in great poverty. Please pray that God would reach out for her and transform her heart and life.

Pasha has been running away from the orphanage many times during the last several years. He has been struggling with addiction to glue sniffing and right now is at the drug recovery clinic. Please pray for him to get well, to go back to the orphanage and live and study there and grow into a healthy and mature young person who can succeed in life.

Vera is an orphanage graduate a sweet and nice girl. Please pray for her to grow in her relationship with God and reach out her goals professionally (she is studying at the trade school and is thinking of continuing her education). Vera's picture is below.

Inna is an orphanage graduate please pray that she would trust God in her life and make wise choices which please Him.

Slavik is an orphanage graduate please pray that he would trust God with his life and desire Him more then anything else and follow Him and grow in the relationship with Him. A picture of Inna and Slavik is below.
