Prayer Needs for January 2009:

• PTL that current students are showing good progress and zeal!
• Pray for Clay and Darlene, on the road much of the time, and in the USA during February for 5 conferences in MS. With all our travel to various ministry conferences and seminary sessions, it’s hard just to pack, wash, and repack!
• Darlene’s mother passed away in December. PTL she was a believer, but it's still hard.
• Pray for students’ families in this economic crisis, and for peace with Russian threats on the border and conflicts over gas. So far, our pressure has just seemed a bit unstable.
• Pray for more regular seminary supporters (we currently depend mostly on missionary support accounts!)
• Pray that God might open the way for a group of students to visit and study Biblical sites in Israel, Turkey, and Greece (we’ll need to seek funding at this difficult time!). We were granted such a trip once in our lives, and it transformed our Bible study for life! This is what we pray for these men.
• Please pray for Odessa church member Svyeta, a 16-year-old who directs our choir and studies organ and directing. She has some gastrological problems, and the doctors haven't found any solution over months.
