1.  Cheri had a wonderful experience teaching at the Women’s Leadership conference in Irpen, Ukraine.  She had been sick with severe flu for two weeks prior, and even the day before the conference could hardly speak and had no energy.  But the Lord wonderfully healed her voice and enabled her to serve with joy and energy!  It was a great conference and the women expressed how they were much encouraged to “keep on keeping on.” 

2. Please pray for me (Rich) as I attend EEMA* meetings next week in Hungary and lead a workshop.  The conference title is “Engaging with Mission – The Way Forward” and we are encouraging and promoting the emerging mission movements in Central and Eastern Europe.
My workshop is about relationships between churches and mission agencies:  how to mobilize churches and not just individuals; who should be doing local missionary recruiting; etc.  Fortunately I only need to present the questions, not the answers.  :^)  Pray that the Lord will inspire participants as I share what He is doing in Ukraine.

3. Also pray in advance, please, for our next Great Commission Conference.  It will be held in Lugansk, Ukraine November 26-28.  Pray that all the details (people, too) come together smoothly as God enables.

Thank you more than we can express,
Rich and Cheri
