Yodis/Ukraine: Aug 19
Special Prayer Request
Donetsk Park Scherbakova
Thank You For Praying.
 Eric & Beth Yodis: Facilitating Church Planting In Eastern Ukraine
Greetings!

We have a specific prayer request that we are hoping you will take to the throne of grace today and during the next couple of days. Our partnering church here in Ukraine has a family that wants to come to Donetsk to help lead the church plant. They have a house they have agreed to rent and are planning to move here, but the department of social services is not sure they want to allow them to move to a home that they will be renting and not owning. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but this wonderful couple (Yura & Lena) has taken on the foster care with rights to adoption of three sweet little girls and the state has oversight. We hope this can be resolved in an above board fashion, but we do need extra prayer today and through the end of the week so that this family will find favor in the eyes of the state.

There has been a great deal of time spent in preparation for this move and this is a big step forward for the church on the shelter ministry.  Join us in prayer and we will bring you a report as soon as the situation is resolved or by the end of the month (whichever comes first).

Thanks for standing in the gap and being the prayer warrior God has called us each to be.
     Eric
 
  Our Bond
"For it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of grace with me. For God is my witness, how I long for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment,"
 
- Phillipians 1:7-9
 
Praying For Georgia

We hope you are praying for the Georgia during this difficult time. Missionary friends posted a letter from a missionary in  Georgia.  While I can't vouch for the authenticity of this account, I am providing the link for your perusal.  The potential for this to happen in Ukraine exists and that is certainly a sobering thought. Here is the link:
