Prices have generally gone DOWN on rent, which led the Q’s to change apartments. Yet, the camp we have used regularly for our seminary sessions has just asked us to go UP significantly – beyond our budget and beyond reason. Please pray for wisdom and for the Lord’s provision.
One ERSU student hopes to graduate during the next year, and then wishes to go study for a Master of Theology (ThM) degree in order to teach in ERSU! We earnestly desire for the Lord to send us Ukrainian teachers, so please pray for guidance for him and for the Lord to provide the means. It will take serious funding for him to take his family abroad for a year or two, but it would mean a lot to the movement in Ukraine! Please pray for Kolya Koretsky, who is presently pastoring the Presbyterian church in Tsurupinsk (Kherson) as he finishes his MDiv degree in ERSU.
Pray for our son Ty and wife Irene, recently moved to Virginia.
Pray for son Nate and wife Malaika, expecting 2nd child in late July. Darlene and Clay will be going in mid-August to meet this second granddaughter! Praise God for his care of all our children and grandchildren!

May 5th, 2009 -- We're MOVING! -- This week! So please pray for us, both now and over the next months as we adapt to a new place.
We had a nice time at our area retreat in Spain, and a wonderful time in Portugal, visiting the churches we served there -- celebrating 25 years since our team planted the church there. It was God's gift to see our Portuguese skills reemerge. We then had 2 nights in London and one in Kyiv to make our travel connections.
The morning we returned, however, we started taking our house apart, so we're already in turmoil. Our new home is only 5 blocks away, but it will be cheaper and nicer. In the meantime, we're BUSY BUSY BUSY! Short term teams visiting, committee meetings, team meetings, Board meetings, and ... I have to run catch the train to Kyiv for another seminary session! More later.

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.
