Greetings, Praying Friend!
1) This Wednesday we will host a unique get-together at our apartment in Kiev.  Muslim-background believers (friends from Iran and Kazakhstan) will advise some Ukrainian friends how to tactfully share their faith with Muslims living in Ukraine. Please pray that all will use what we learn, for God’s glory.
2) Pray for more students to enroll in our new World Missions Program at Kiev Seminary.  It’s a diploma version, designed to train believers who cannot study full time on site.  They will spread the courses over three years.  We are asking the Lord for a least seven to begin this fall. We are recruiting online, in print and in person.  Check out our recruiting site.

3) Pray for TWO upcoming World Missions Awareness conferences – one in September and one in November.  We have good, local leadership for each conference. (Remember, our overall plan is to promote missions in Ukraine region by region).  We expect to have an even larger impact than from the previous three conferences.  Please ask God to send financing for these conferences.  Even with 10% of the costs coming from the Ukrainians we are still over $4,000 short at this time.  If the Lord speaks to your heart about this need, we will be able to reserve venues now.

Thank you for standing with us in prayer,
Rich and Cheri
