We urgently need more Students for our Seminary. Pray for the Lord to send the right people!
PTL that the dedication Service of the new building in Belgorod-Dnestrovsky went well. Clay preached on "Blessing and Cursing" from Joshua 8, and... it was a great blessing! Larry Roff was present with a very special choir from the USA.
Pray for several visiting Summer Teams. Clay is Acting Team Leader this summer, while Bob Burnham is on Home Ministry Assignment. We praise the Lord for Sharon Bain, a Russian professor at Bryn Mawr, who is helping out with logistics as a summer intern.
PTL that things have calmed down a bit with the Boards of Directors with whom Clay serves. We dealt with many difficult matters, but we've seen progress and unity. Your prayers will make a difference!
Darlene’s trip to the States went well, and she and Irina were there for our granddaughter Kendra’s 1st birthday!
PRAISE GOD for the Nationalization of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church of Ukraine on April 16th! After 14 years of work, this church is on its own -- with 11 churches and 11 trained and ordained national pastors! Hallelujah! Clay presented a slideshow of the History of the Church (YOU can download it if you SIGN IN and go to Letters 'n Docs). Visitors have come from all over Ukraine, Bulgaria, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Uzbekistan, Birmingham, and Atlanta.
Thanks for prayers for Clay's seminary site, which had been HACKED. This theft took away from other needed tasks, but many needed changes were made along the way, and it is now more secure.
PRAISE that the Counseling and Business Centers are doing well in their new joint office.
