Our son and Ukrainian daughter-in-law, Irene, are in the U.S., but she still has not received her green card. It appears that her papers have been lost somewhere between her entry in May at Dulles Airport in D.C. and Immigration Services. She has not been able to find out any information about what to do or even WHO can tell her what to do. Please pray that she would receive this soon or find out what to do about it. She isn’t free to even look for work until she has this in hand.

     [UPDATE 9/29/09] Irene has received an appointment for October 6th. This is hopeful! Keep praying. 

Please also pray for our church plant in the North part of Odessa that got kicked out of their building this week. After renting this place for several years, doing a lot of cleanup and repairs, they have been told unexpectedly that they can no longer meet there.

    [UPDATE 9/29/09] The church is meeting in Pastor George's apartment. Around 30 people attended last week in their small home!!

We know that God is in control of these situations and pray that we would trust him in the midst of the trials, claiming His promises of His faithfulness.
