Subj: World Vision eNews - June 2003
- Letter from the President -
The coming of summer is palpable in classrooms across the
country as the school year winds down.
My youngest son and
daughter are looking forward to having more free time to
play, spend time with friends, and just enjoy being kids.
Listening to them talk of their summer plans, I can't help
but think of a boy who has more than his share of free
time. A few years ago in Romania I met George, then 12.
He grinned at me through the grime on his face. George was
bright, lively, and intrigued by anything new--he even
spoke a few words of English. He was obviously the leader
of his circle of friends who gather every day on the
garbage-strewn streets of a poor neighborhood in
Bucharest, Romania's capital.
Like more than 200,000 Romanians, George and his family
live without running water, electricity, or heating
systems. Poverty forced George to drop out of primary
school, so he can't read or write. Without basic
education, he'll never qualify for a Romanian work permit.

- Called to the Desert -
Four years ago, representatives of a Southern California
Presbyterian church sat in the barren dessert of eastern
Ethiopia and listened to the pleas of the nomadic people
who have lived there for untold generations. "Please come
help us," the leaders of this ancient people group
implored. "We are forgotten."
For countless centuries, this isolated people group
numbering 1.7 million has roamed Ethiopia's harsh desert
in search of water and feed for their cattle, sheep,
goats, and camels. Limited vegetation on the arid land,
coupled with poor veterinary service and outdated skills
in livestock care, contribute to low productivity among
the herds--and poverty among the Afar people.

Despite some food production this year, Zimbabwe faces
acute shortages, according to a recent report. An
estimated 5.5 million people require food aid after
Zimbabwe produced only enough to meet 30 percent of its

Subject: About us!
Dear Tross,
Here is about us:
We are 5 people in our team here.
We want to reach our area by establishing evangelical churches. We hope to plant churches in the villages and in the town of Draganesti-Olt. We also intend to train local leaders in every village in the county so they in turn can carry on the work of planting churches.
The plan for the next 5 years is, with God's help, to plant churches in Draganesti and Corabia. Both of these towns need a christian evangelical church. We also hope to plant home churches in as many villages as possible in the surrounding area. These are our general goals.
Specifically, we want, through God's will (and this is His will defined in 2 Peter 3:9), to start (build/plant) a community of born again people, which the Lord has named His Church, for the purpose of worship, equipping and multiplying. All these would be done in the warm presence of God's love.
Therefore, we are working on and want to ultimately see, through all the resources that are available to us, a church in our town which would reach 1000 members and start planting other churches locally and in the whole world.
To meet these goals, the following things are needed: Spiritual resources - Much prayer, much wisdom, and the opportunities and ability to preach the Gospel in many different places and ways,etc.
Human resources - Our focus is to bring, by the Holy Spirit's calling, new missionaries to this area, from our country, from the USA and England or wherever the Lord might call them from.
A meeting to watch the Jesus movie.
Material resources - A tent to hold meetings under during the summer, A van for transporting people and supplies in the mission field, Bibles, New Testaments, Romanian christian books to build a library, a home for missionaries who come to work with us, etc.
Olt county is on the southern edge of Romania. Here there are many villages where the people have never heard the Gospel. We plan to plant churches in these villages. There are many Bulgarian and Turkish people in this area. Our hope is that some of these people would be saved, and would be led by the Lord to go back to their own countries and spread the Gospel there.
These are views of Draganesti-Olt, one of the towns we are working in.
My name is Raul Costea, I am married to Ana and we have a child, Samuel. After I was born again, I understood that the greatest thing you could do for Him on this earth is to bring others to Christ. I have spiritualy grown in cell groups and began getting involved in the Lord's work. He put me step-by-step through several stages of growth concerning character and the Lord's work as well.
Certain verses in the Bible began to powerfully talk to me and I understood the Lord wanted me to dedicate myself entirely to His work. One of these verses is the one in Isaiah 53 where the Scripture says "He will see the fruit of His work and enliven". I understood I only had one motivation in this missionary work: Jesus to be enlivened by many gained souls. From then on my hearts desire is that at the end of every day Jesus would be pleased with me and I would hear the words: "well done good servant".
I attended a Bible college and also followed His guidence to an area where there were only 0.2% evangelical(from all the denomination's) christians. Here I started working in the villages around Slatina. Also, after a year the Lord impelled us to start a work with orphans.
Since then we have found a christian family to take over the work with orphans.
After a period of several years the Lord impelled us to move south to the city Draganesti, Olt. I am sent to Draganesti by the Baptist Church in Alba Iulia.
Here in Corabia, another city, and the surrounding villages we wish to plant churches. We know the work is the Lords, who works through the church so we thought we could make available a missionary house where missionaries from our or other countries can come and work in the area.
Everything the Lord did through us and everything He will do is to His praise.
Raul
Florina Cazan-
Florina Cazan is one of the people who work with us in the orphans ministry. Here is her story: I grew up in a non-Christian family, without a Christian upbringing. When I was 15 years old, I started to become part of the world (non Christian environment).
One day, I attended a crusade service, and that's when I understood who Jesus Christ is, that his blood can wipe my sins away and can make me a new, clean person, and that I can have everlasting life. I accepted this good news with great enthusiasm and great joy; I was already feeling tired of what the world could offer me. So, at 16, I accepted Christ to be my savior and my lord.
Two years later, the Lord started to put the desire in my heart to work with kids lacking a parental affection and attention (mostly orphans). I was only 18 years old at that time and I thought He would start using me right away. It wasn't quite so, I had to wait four more years and be trained and be ready for such work.
Actually, after those four years, I stopped believing God's promise to me would come to reality. Still, when my faith was weakest, that's when God brought to pass what He spoke to me with a few years earlier. Without hesitation I gave up my job, my house, my family and left by faith, knowing I wouldn't have any (personal) income, to serve God. But praised be his name, He is never late on his promises and during these the past 4 years since I serve him, I have seen his faithfulness and his caring hand at work all around me and directly in my life. I lived with the girls at the orphanage for three years and I learned many things, especially the fact that this is what I want to do for the rest of my life. For some reasons which I will not specify here, I doany longer with them anylonger, but my heart is still attached to this ministry.
After these 3 years, I lived one year with an American missionary. While living with her, I learned a few skills like sowing and tailoring, and especially how to make blankets.
A month ago, Raul Costea said to me there are many financially poor families in Draganesti, who want to give their children to an orphanage, but there is not such thing there. I felt like I need to move there, that the dream I had long time ago starts to strike roots so to speak, that I need to go and live with girls from those families. I know for sure that learning how to make blankets wasn't just coincidence and I want to teach the girls this trade, too.
My vision is not just to live with these girls. I also want to start a place where we can take care of older people, together with the girls approximately
For aproximately six years, I have also worked as a Sunday School teacher. I would like kindergarten kids in a kindergarden, if God will open the doors for such an opportunity.
- Florina
Danut Opris-
My name is Daniel (nickname: Danut) Opris. I am 36 years old, and I am originally from Alba Iulia town. For the last 5 years, God has put on my heart to work alongside with missionaries in planting an evangelical church in a town where there is a great need for His Gospel. I have wanted to do this ever since I visited the "Chicago" neighborhood of Alba Iulia town along with Raul Costea and other young people. A few years ago, I began working with a mission team from my church planting a church in a nearby village, but I felt my calling was to work in a city setting, since I was so used to the city and those living in it. That is why, when brother Costea asked me if I wanted to move in Oltenia and help out planting a church in Draganesti town, I welcomed the invitation and I set it before the Lord.
I was very enthusiastic to work with Raul Costea again, enlarging God's Kingdom! I also liked the fact that I would move in one of the few towns with NO evangelical church.
Many have asked me why did I have to leave Alba Iulia and go all the way in Draganesti...? They said I can also witness for Christ here, without having to move away so far. My opinion, and I believe it is also the Lord's opinion that people should go from places where there are a lot of Christians to places where there are fewer or none at all, and therefore exists a great need! Right after I received a confirmation from the Lord, I contacted Raul Costea and communicated to him my decision. After I short while, I moved to Draganesti Olt.
Now, with your permission, I would like to share with you my testimony.
My mom was a member of the baptist church and I used to go church regularly as a child. At the age of 18 years I received Christ in my life and I was baptized. When I was 19, I went to serve in the army (required in Romania.) After I came back, for 8 years, I experienced a period of time when I departed away from the Lord. But God was more than merciful and patient with me! He convicted me of what I was and where I was standing in our relationship, and He helped me to rededicate my life over to Him once more, with a broken and pain-filled spirit. Seeing my unrighteousness, I gave myself to Him again! He restored my spirit, and lifted me up! Since then, I have been attracted by the fellowship of the believers in church and in small cell groups. I entered Raul's cell group and I started to grow spiritually so much that I didn't want to depart ever again from God.

My name is Costea Raul, I am a missionar in the south of Romania, where there is 0,2% christian from all the evangelical denominations. Recently we moved in a town, called Draganesti Olt, where there is no evangelical church. We want to plant a church here, and at the same time, to open a missionary base, where missionary teams, of families can be hosted, to work in the area. There are more than 30 villages that surround us, and do not have any evangelical church at all. In the town that we live in there are about 20,000 people. Also, the vision extends over the border, 70 kilometers away, in Bulgaria, where you can find over 100,000 romanias, that need to be evangelised.
Our great wish is to motivate a church, or a missionary organization, to catch the vision of the harvest, and to get involved with us, in this work of evangelism, doing the following things:
- evangelism with the Jesus film
- evangelism from person to person
- evangelism by singing
- children minidtry
- preaching the Gospel in the cultural houses or tents -distributing christian literature- there are people that never had a new testament in their hands
- youth ministry
- House Bible studies
- drama and puppets
- surveys and evangelism through relation
- etc...
If you, or other organizations, or churches are interested in such a ministry, please contact us. Especially,. we are looking for a missionary family, that are totaly dedicated to the Lord, for them to work here.
We thank you, may God bless you <><

Dear Rev. Mark,
I am enclosing the text for your information.
J.N. Manokaran
MISSION TO RUSSIA
Hosanna Manokaran
hos_anna83@yahoo.co.in
Introduction:
Russia, hearing this name people have some strange opinion about this place. Even before going to Moscow I also had strange thoughts. This was because people around me said a lot of things about Russia. However I had liking to learn another new language, which created a desire in me to go to Russia. I was leaning on God to do His will in my life.
Beauty of the place:
Moscow and St. Petersburg are the two cities I have visited in the past one year.
They are really beautiful places. In peak winter the whole place is covered by cool, white clean snow.
During summer one can enjoy "white nights"(May 20th to June 10th). There are many orthodox churches, ancient buildings etc.
River Neva flows through St. Petersburg and adds extra beauty to it.
People and religion:
Russians are really tall, even ladies are tall, beautiful in their own way. The majority of the population is orthodox Christians, Muslims.
The most important thing I noted in Russia was that Russians really do not know the love of God.
When we ask Russians about their religion or faith, they will normally, without any happiness or expression will answer that they are Christians. One cannot find the glamour of joy of a Christian on their face. They really do not know clearly who is "Jesus".
They have Bible in their own language, but they do not read it as we Christians read it.
Style of Orthodox worship:
Russian do not worship as we worship as congregation. Building structure is really excellent. Churches are beautiful. There are many painting inside the church.
People go inside the church with candles.
Before the pictures of Mary, Saints they bow three to five times and then burn the candles. One Priest will be standing inside altar, dressed in long black cassock and a big cross hanging on their neck. He prays for the people who want him to pray.
Indian students:
There are many Indian students who study in Russia. The comment of many Russians is that when the Indian students come to Russia they are very good in all their ways. But, after a few months they start to drink, smoke and do other bad things.
The questions put forwards to me was "Is there no freedom given to the Indian kids in India that after coming to Russia they spoil their own life?"
Russians have a very high attitude and opinion about the Indians. But when they see Indian students indulging in all kinds of bad habits, they are puzzled.
There are a few Indian Christian students but they are also not committed. They like to be with their friends, enjoy and study. They hardly remember their heavenly Father, read Bible or go to bible study or fellowship.
Needs for the Christian Indian Students:
There are very few churches to worship. There is no Christian get together in the institutes. There are not many such groups like Youth for Christ, Scripture Union, Campus Crusade or Evangelical Union working among the students in Russia. They do not reach to all campuses or institutes or colleges. The Churches are so far from the Institutes that naturally no one would like to go out in the cold climate. There is a need for get together for at least once a month so that Young people do not forget the Living God.
What I did?
I have successfully completed my language course.
I can understand and speak Russian language. It will take one more year to speak exactly like a Russian. Russian language is world's Second toughest language
Wherever I got opportunity to tell about Jesus, I have done it. I tried my best to start a prayer cell but it was not possible as the students were not interested. I hope to do it in the coming year.
Prayer support:
Russia needs prayer.
There are many points that I would like you to pray for:
1. More student missionaries should go to Russia
2. Indian students should not get into bad habits like drinking, smoking etc.
3. Crime called "Skin hating" should get vanished.
4. At least one Prayer cell should be started in each institute.
5. Love of God should be soon seen in the eyes of Russians.
6. God should bless those who are supporting my educational needs and the prayer warriors.
7. God may provide special grace to my parents.
8. God may provide my financial needs.
9. I should get my Visa for my next academic year.
10.I should be a blessing to everyone
Placing a challenge before you:
If people of other faiths could build Krishna temple and a mosque in Moscow then why not we Christians who worship the Living God can do something. Can't we take a step to reach out to the people in Russia?
Is it like this that only Missionaries should go to China, New Zealand, or America? Is it so that only people from other countries should be missionaries?
Why not Indian young leaders?
If Christian families encourage their children to become future missionaries then definitely we can win Russia for Christ.
Are you ready to do something for your Heavenly loving Father?
If missionary students will rise up then definitely supports for them also will rise.
Hey young people where is your guts gone? Can't you do something for the Lord who loves you?
Think about it. Do not think that how can I be a missionary student but first create a desire to be a missionary.
Think and think what can you do for Russia? You can do a lot if you want.

Dear Mark,
I am always thankful to God for prayers, for support and love God gives to our hearts, for ministry and happiness to be in His family and realize the unity in Spirit. I hope you do well , there is peace and love in your family and your soul.
Recently the opening of a Bible Studying center had taken place. There were new people and we made our first greeting there and then we had Lord's Supper.
The youth camp in the beginning of August is very close now. The editing of the book for the campers is almost finished, we giving it for print this week.
The subjects that we are going to speak about in the camp are following:
1. Music, God and you. Ministry and your attitude to it.
2. The ability to listen and make decisions. Communication.
3. Willpower and ability to say No.
4. Time to wait and time to love.
5. Solving conflicts and way out of depression.
I wrote the part "Time to wait and time to love", it is about keeping from sexual relationships before marriage. The seminar for workers in the camp will be held July 25, Friday. We invited 70% of Christian youth to the camp of 30% of unbelievers. There will also be 2 groups of the deaf and we are praying that the director of the orphanage allow us to have some teenagers from the orphanage. Besides, we invited several young people from far-away villages we had our missionary camps in. (Ulika - nanay village and Pobeda, there is a church that was made up after the camp).
We plan to have missionary camps there again, in the middle of August.
My renovation is still going on. I have a great need in getting furniture. Especially I want to buy furniture for the kids from the orphanage room. I wrote that I plan to have a room in my apartment for this purpose. Every Sunday, and when there is an opportunity, I take several children to my place to show God's love to them.
If they are allowed, they spend a night at my place. I have finished repairing in this room, but I do not have furniture for it.
So, I continue the repairing in the other rooms and I not there is no way for me to buy the furniture. But I know God has an opportunity and time for this, I just have to wait and pray. I ask you to support me in the prayer.
Right now I am especially busy with the programs for the camps, and I do repairing in my free time. All my stuff in still in bags and suitcases, because there are no wardrobes for them, and the repairing is not completed. It is not easy for me. Please, pray about me, may God give me strength and wisdom to do everything wisely and in time, to do His will and be in fellowship with Him.
Say hello to your church and friends. If you have some time, please write how your life is going. Remember, your prayers help us every day. Thank you and praise God for your friendship and love in Christ.
May the Lord bless and keep you may his face shine upon you and be gracious and give you peace,
Sincerely,
Svitlana.
Mark
Thanks for the message. I will pray for you as you begin this ministry. We went to a university student ministry conference for several years in Glorieta and always took students to the church in Santa Fe. May God use you and your prayers to bring His heart and transformation to that city and the state.
We are just beginning as missionaries in Krakow, Poland. We too are praying for what has happened or not happened here and what God would have us to do to see students and the city brought into personal relationship with Him. We know that God knows all things and will show us the things are important.
May God bless you in every way,
Curt

Dear Mark,
I hope that your Summer time was good and you are in great mood now. My summer was filled with various camps and orphanage visits. Also I visited camps where children from orphanages were resting. In three of the orphanages we built swings and it was a good chance to say about Christ and continue to do it in future. As you know, besides all these I've been making a remodel in my apartment and I advanced in it quite a lot, but there's still much work ahead. Also I need to buy more furniture, please pray about this.
The main thing I want to ask you is following: about tomorrow we leave Khabarovsk to make two missionary camps in remote villages. We plan to be there till the end of August and we plan to include about 200 non-Christian children and teenagers in it. And I want to ask you to pray much about our team, about it's safety as on the way (we're going to get there by a small ship) and when being there. Also pray about the weather and for children who will come, that they could know more about God from bible lessons and accept Christ in their hearts to become believers. We wish that God will lead this camp. We're going to live in tents and children will come to our territory daily from the village. So, your prayer will include many things and God knows them all, and He can help us to do all in his sake.
I will be able to check for your mail to me at the end of August, but it would be good to know how you're doing.
May the Lord bless and keep you may his face shine upon you and be gracious and give you peace,
Sincerely,
Svitlana.

Dear Prayer Partners,
Thank you for your prayers on our behalf this week. We had some technical difficulties with the internet connections, so I did not get to respond to our emails.
We will try to do that soon. Another reason is that we were occupied completing our visa requirements and getting our van.
So in answer to many prayers, we now have a 2 year visa to stay in Poland.
Because we were granted the visa, we were able to register the van so yesterday I went to Warsaw and picked it up!
I never knew growing up and giving to Speed the Light all those years that I would some day receive that blessing.
We have never owned a brand new vehicle. This is a 2003 VW Sharan van that carries 7 people. It is big by Poland standards, but you can ride with us when you come to visit.
It is 24 Km round trip to get the kids to schools and we had been spending 2 hours each morning and afternoon to get the kids to school and get back home. So almost 8 hours a day between us. So today when I was home in 1 hour, we were so thankful for the blessing of a van and no traffic jams.
Please continue to keep Beth and Daniel in your prayers regarding school and all of us regarding health and learning Polish.
God bless you. God is good, all the time,
Curt

Friends,
By the time many of you get this I will be on my way to Poland. I am well aware that not all will read this email --- that's okay, some will. I have decided that my last earnest plea for your prayers for the advancement of Christ's kingdom during my trip through the different places in Poland, Romania, Hungary, and Slovakia would best be stated by what someone else has already recently written that I am including below.
I am reminded that Francis Schaeffer said; "In the end, the final apologetic argument for Christianity is the way you live your life." Boy, with all the people I know who know so much, but are being used so little, I can't help but think that perhaps that's at least part of the reason why, including in my own life. But God does not leave us alone in that state or the world in its state. He continues to do His life-changing work in and through simple people, foolish people, foolish enough to take Him at His word.
Written below is an email written by one of the simple and humble missionaries of International Messengers that I have been honored and blessed by God Himself to even been allowed that I might serve with. They wrote this to "their people" because at the very least, they knew I needed it. They were right of course. But I'm sending it to you, because I'm foolish enough to take God at His word too and believe we are all called to serve. We need your prayers! Serve now with us by praying for us! "Now I beg you, brethren, through the Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in prayers to God for me" (Romans 15:30). "For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea" (Habakkuk 2:14).
We must at all times, in all ways, with all people, point them to Christ!

Subject: Request for Dedicated Prayer Effort
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Welcome to September! Here in Radom, it is, of course, a new day. It's also a new month, it feels like a new season has arrived with the coolness of fall, the changing leaves, and their tumbling to the ground. It's also the beginning of a new school year in all of Poland. And in the spirit of newness, I'd like to ask you all to begin a new intensified prayer campaign with me for at least the next 60 days, and hopefully beyond!
As many of you know, Ed Kleiman will be traveling to Eastern Europe in just a couple of weeks. He'll begin by teaching at International Messengers' fall staff conference along with Terry Baxter.
Following that, his itinerary then takes him to various I.M. ministry locations throughout Eastern Europe. He ends his trip with a week of teaching and encouragement here in Radom. I was moved by God today to share this with you, and ask you to join us in prayer for this work. This morning, in my quiet time, it wasn't just a new day, month, season, etc., etc. I also started a new book in my O.T. readings - Judges. One of the things about the first chapter of Judges that has long stood out in my mind is the repetition, almost verbatim, of Joshua 15.15-19 and Judges 1.11-15. It is the story of Acsah's request to her father, Caleb, for additional land containing springs of water. This morning, the Holy Spirit simply wouldn't let me leave that passage. So I lingered, pondered, and meditated, asking God to teach me, and of course, once again, He does not fail. I want to share with you what God showed me, and ask you to pray accordingly for Ed's entire trip, and with particular intensity for his time in Radom and God's work here.
First of all, as I thought of Acsah's perspective, I saw the incredible freedom with which she came to Caleb. In these verses, we see that Caleb has already given her land in the Negev. What stands out about this? Well, one thing I noticed is that she was given land at all! Quite a counterculture act on Caleb's part!
Another point was the location - the Negev. Being the midwestern farmer's daughter, I'd say that's not exactly prime farm ground, now, is it? It's a dry, arid portion of Israel that includes desert and canyon regions, and where the annual rainfall is only 2-4 inches!
Even though Acsah had already received a generous gift from her father, she returns to him freely to ask for more.
How much is that like our Heavenly Father? Each of us has been granted the most generous gift of all - our salvation.
And yet God wants us, and even commands us, to return to him, asking for more! We can go back to God, day after day, minute after minute, second after second, seeking more and more of Him! Just as Caleb said, "What can I do for you?", so does our God! Every time we come to him, he is there, waiting and asking, "What can I do for you?".
Next, it appears to me that Acsah went to Caleb expectantly. There is no indication of hesitation on her part, no insecurity, no doubt. She has approached him humbly and respectfully, she has his listening ear, and so she proceeds. She speaks openly, plainly, and boldly to her father. When we approach our Father humbly and respectfully, we know he listens. We, too, should therefore open our hearts to Him and speak openly, plainly, and boldly, presenting our requests and petitions. As Spurgeon says, "It is not good to beat around the bush in prayer, but to come directly to the point... Why not be distinct and say what we mean as well as mean what we say?"
With this same thought of distinctness in mind, she doesn't just present some willy-nilly request, but provides adequate order and argument. She reminds him of the land he has graciously given her in the past, and asks him for more of the same. But not just any land. Her request now is for land that will enhance what she has already received, land containing life-giving water, land that will enable the original gift to bear fruit! Likewise, we can remind God of the grace he has already given, and then ask for more! We have already received Jesus, but we, too can ask for more of Jesus, the life-giving water, the Living Water, so that we may bear fruit! But we don't have to stop there - we can ask that others drink deeply of this Life-giving Water, so that they may become fruit, then grow to be reproduce fruit to God's glory!
Last, Caleb didn't fail to give Acsah what she asked for, but he gave more than she anticipated - he gave her not just one spring, but gave her two, both the upper and lower springs! I ask you, how much like God is that? We ask, and he does more than we ask or imagine! Why should we doubt when we have a God who responds in such a way? How can we not pray expectantly, when we know we are praying within his will, and when it is within his will, he will grant our request? As Martin Luther said, "Lord, I will have my will of Thee at this time."
He was able to speak so boldly because his quote is not complete until it is followed by this sentence, "I will have my will, for I know that my will is Thy will."
When our will in prayer matches God's will, there is nothing to hold back the floodgates of heaven! We know God will give us what we ask for when our desires match his!
Dear friends, all this is to ask you to join in prayer for Ed's time in Eastern Europe. Please wrestle with God and prevail in prayer with us for the next 60 days especially. Please come before God humbly and respectfully, and
Remind him of how he opened your heart to accept the gift of salvation he has graciously and mercifully offered each one of you, and ask him to open the hearts of all people in Radom and Eastern Europe so that they, too, will accept the gift.
Remind him of how he continues to open your heart and mind to his instruction and teaching, and ask that he do the same for all here in Radom and Eastern Europe who will be hearing God speak through Ed.
Remind him that it is only because of his continual flow of living water to us through the Holy Spirit that we are able to bear fruit for his glory, and ask him to open the floodgates of Living Water so the people of Radom and Eastern Europe can also bear fruit to his glory. Pray that the people here will drink deeply of the Living Water! Pray for an abundance of Living Water through the Holy Spirit to be poured out on Ed as he teaches, filling him to overflowing and splashing out onto others! Please pray that we here in Radom will absolutely be drenched by this Living Water!
Remind God that he provided Acsah and with a father who cared for her, took care of her, and provided for her, and now provides each one of us with a Father who cares for, takes care of and provides for each one of us. Then ask God for special care, protection and provision for Ed as he spends nearly 45 days on the road, sacrificing home and comfort to be God's mouthpiece and servant in Eastern Europe.
Thank you for joining this prayer effort!
Folks, I can tell you, it is exciting to be here in Radom! God has great plans for this city, and I can feel the earth trembling beneath my feet in anticipation of what He is going to do! The tremors before the great moving of God have begun! Great strides have been made to bring the believers in this city together to glorify God - and it all begins with the prayers of the saints. That's you, that's me, that's anyone you can get involved in this effort! Please feel free to share this request as you see fit, throughout your community of friends, your churches, wherever. I am convinced we can never have too many people who are willing to pray boldly and confidently for what is already known to be God's will!
If you would like a complete itinerary of Ed's trip to be able to pray specifically for each location where he will be teaching, just ask. I'll get it out to you right away.
Honored to be in His service,
Hope
P.S. For any of you ladies who've been through the study "Falling in Love with Jesus", send up a mighty shout of praise and thanks, as today I have been especially "kissed by the King", many times over!
"All of heaven lies within the grasp of the asking individual.
All the promises of God are rich and inexhaustible, and their fulfillment is to be had by prayer."
C. H. Spurgeon
Subject: Summer ended
Dear Mark,
Summer 2003 has just passed and I hope you had much good time during summer.
I pray about you and I believe that God blessed you and He will continue to bless you during this fall. Thanks for the prayers about me, our camps and our ministry. They helped us everyday.
I hope that you received all my letters I sent you during the summer. I wrote you that during summer we conducted some camps based on sport and Christian programs in orphanages and also in camps where orphans spend their summertime. Also we had youth Christian camp in the beginning of august made for youth from some cities of Far East. We included 70% of Christian youth there and the rest 30% were non-Christians. Also there was a group of deaf people in the camp. The program of the camp appeared to be good and all the aims we planed to shoot before were achieved. Some young people received Christ and Christian youth spent good time strengthening in faith and relationship.
At the end of august we tripped to the remote villages of Far East by three rivers. This trip was rather special as God changed our plans by the way. And here is how it happened. We have been there before making camps and I have wrote you that the only way to get there is using different river ways as all they are located in Taiga. So, we arrived in Nanai village – Ulika, we're coming there for the fourth year already. There are a few people living in this village, but all of them are aboriginal inhabitants of that area. They have their customs and traditions which are connected with shamanism and still their existence is closely connected with hunting and fishing. However, their children changed during these years and the entire attitude to Christians had changed in this village.
So, we already conducted a few days in this village and were ready to swim further. The last night we saw the ship which was going to take us further being towed by another smaller ship back to Khabarovsk as its engine has jammed. It was dark already, so we prayed and returned to tents to sleep. The next two days it became known that the break is serious and this only way of getting there and out of there could be repaired only by the 18th of September. So, all our team and the entire village stayed fully separated of where we came from. We remained on the same place having no ability to go neither forth to the next camp nor back home. And that's why we made more studies in that village also making sport events for children there.
God blessed us and sent us all available products and strength for our team daily.
That was a good test for us. We saw God's blessings daily, but we still remained in uncertainty knowing and especially feeling that our friends have been praying for us, and I suppose your prayer also was lifted to God that time.
Besides all that, we had MANY mosquitoes as the river shoaled and the last day it was a rain when we started to fold our tents. And when our hope was almost over, we saw a barge which delivered lumber to Khabarovsk. We asked a captain to take us home. He gave his permission, put all our stuff on limber, and covered it with a coverlet of a trampoline. He covered a roof with a tent put on lying mast and we sat there.
Slowly, but we swam home for eight hours singing Christian songs and thanked God that he made our way back by His way! I was at home at 12 in midnight.
On the 31st of august we opened a Sunday school season in Topolevo orphanage. Children were very happy to continue Bible study again. They have told us of how their summer has passed and we prayed together and sang songs.
Today, on the 1st of September, I continue to make my remodel and there is much work to do as the major part of the summer I was busy with camps.
Unfortunately, during remodeling I won't be available to invite orphans to my home, so I will hurry to finish it. All my staff from old apartment is still in boxes as I have neither cases nor shelves yet.
To finish all, I need finances, and I would ask you to pray about this, so I could use my apartment for ministry as fast as it is possible.
Also pray for a Sunday school in orphanage, that the doors would be kept opened and many children could receive salvation. Also pray about my radio programs that come out weekly on Tuesdays, about youth clubs which is also an instrument that helps more young people to be saved.
Send greetings to church.
May the Lord bless and keep you may his face shine upon you and be gracious and give you peace,
Sincerely,
Svitlana.
Howdy from Krakow!
Hope all is well there. Curt just returned from a Youth Retreat about an hour away today and again was encouraged by the zeal and vitality of the leaders and hunger of the youth.
We are hosting a Campus Leader's Retreat next weekend for vision casting, relationship building and prayer. Would you pray for this time that God will give us His desires and strategy for seeing it happen.
Lastly, continue to pray for our kids' adjustment to Polish and school. Beth has had the hardest time, but had a better week. We are praying for a breakthrough for her relationally and language wise.
Thanks for your support of us. May God bless you in every way,
God is good, all the time,
Curt
Mark
Thanks for the message and the reminder. I realized that I have not gotten back to you about our "ministry" here in Kraków, Poland. We are now in language studies (1-2 years). We have been here since mid June of 2003. Our goal is to develop campus ministry in this country.
Right now within the Pentecostal church especially, this is a new type of ministry.
We are working with the Assemblies of God church in the USA. Here the Pentecostal Church is quite young in many ways and we see that as a bonus without a lot of red tape beauracuracy etc. But it is also vulnerable to problems. Most of the pastors have been doing so for less than 15 years. Doctrine and philosophy of ministry are not too developed.
We were 14 years at the University of Wyoming where we worked reaching and equipping students who are now serving God in various ways and places -some even using their degrees to minister in ways and places where I could not go.
We believe the students who come to know Christ in a personal relationship and then go where He calls them can make a huge impact on this country and the church. We believe that the revival that is slowly emerging here will be ignited as students surrender their lives to God no matter the cost. The harvest is genuinely ripe here in spite of the Catholic influence. There are many who believe, but many more who are religious and do not see God as active and relevant for today's dynamic life. They have been in constant change since communism fell.
My wife and I have been married just over 10 years and have a daughter Beth -8 and son Daniel -5.
Hope this helps get you a bit acquainted. Our web page is being developed by a student. So our schedule is subject to theirs.
God bless you this year,
Curt

Dear Mark,
Please forgive my bad English. I try to remember English,
but in this moment I don't have any dictionary near my PC,
so I will use some online dictionary on WWW.
I'm glad to read your letter. I serve the Lord in the Chatolis Charismatic
Movement, which is very similar with your ministry.
We do belive in Holly Spirit, and we use His charismas in
our ministry.
We have few small communities, praying groups.
We had some evangelisation rallies, but that was only a begining.
I searced your web site, and links and I found out on BULGARIA MISSONS
that you have some Romanian brothers like Raul Costea from Drãgãnesti,
Florina Cazan, Dãnut Opris from Alba Iulia, so on...
I understand that you are from the Baptist Church...
We also understand Romanian language...
In Budapest, Hungary (near Romania) we have an organization
named EZAZANAP for organizing yearly a big rally with all churches.

You are right, we are all one in Jesus Christ. Praise Lord!
We keep in touch,

1. BULGARIA: HOMELESS CHURCH FINDS A HOME
A Thanksgiving Feature Story by John Lindner
For years the Good News Christian Church in Burgas, Bulgaria, had sought for a place of their own to meet. The Lord answered their patient prayers in a startling way.
Zhivko Tonchev's grandfather had been a devoted evangelical pastor during the Communist days. Later, when freedom came in 1990, Zhivko himself began handing out tracts and conducting evangelistic meetings. By the time the quick wind of religious freedom ended a few years later, a group of 500 believers had formed Good News Christian Church under his leadership.
Through the years the congregation has felt like nomads wandering in the desert without a home. Unable to find land or a building to buy, the new church began renting a public auditorium, though sometimes they had to cancel services because of secular events. Later the church attempted to purchase what seemed to be a suitable site, but when the church approached the city fathers, the only answer given was, "There is no land zoned for an evangelical church."
Next they decided to build in a business complex being constructed by one of the church's deacons, but the needed funds never materialized. They tried to obtain a three-year rental contract on a small concert hall, but that fell through. For several years they had been renting separate office facilities and small-group meeting rooms from the city at a very reasonable rate. Suddenly, the city reclaimed them. They began to think they might never find a church home, though many maintained hope.
Through these years of trial Pastor Tonchev kept urging his congregation to pray and even handed out prayer goals.
These included obtaining a church building and getting evangelical representation on the municipal council, as well as praying for the whole country and its leaders.
At the same time there was another church in the city that was struggling to survive. Its founding pastor had lived in the U.S. during the heyday of Communism, but returned in the mid-1990s, bought an old discotheque, converted it into a church seating 450, and established a thriving congregation. With his family in the U.S., however, three years ago the pastor, then 66, found it difficult to provide full-time leadership.
So he decided to retire and asked other men to take his place. They tried, but the congregation faltered. During the last three years the number of active members shrank to less than 100, making it difficult to maintain the building. So the founding pastor decided to turn the building over to some other church.
After consulting several, he chose GNCC "because he was given very positive reports about our ministry by some people he trusted," Pastor Tonchev said.
So now GNCC has a building of its own and the once-faltering congregation has full-time leadership and additional enthusiastic members to reinforce its ranks. Pastor Tonchev plans to remodel the three-story building to add an additional 50 seats. The united congregation will operate temporarily under the name "Oasis." Both congregations have much to be thankful for.
Not only that, Pastor Tonchev recently ran for and was elected to the Burgas City Council-the first Bulgarian evangelical pastor to be elected to that public authority-despite the fact that he had very few funds available to present his candidacy to the community. It showed that the community, as well as the church, had confidence in his leadership.
"Our first two prayer goals were answered so swiftly that our congregation is in a state of euphoria," he said.
Up until now evangelicals had been considered by some as a bothersome "sect." These recent events put not only GNCC but the entire evangelical movement into the mainstream in the eyes of many in the community. Pastor Tonchev now requests prayer that he may continue to lead the church well while he seeks to be a voice of righteousness on the municipal council.

2. VIETNAMESE MISSIONARY ARRESTED
Ma Van Bay, a missionary to the Hmong tribe, was arrested recently and is being held in a jail in southern Vietnam, according to a report received by Christian Aid.
Bay is originally from Ha Giang Province next to the China border. The police there searched his house and found money from the offering of the church that meets in his house. They then accused him of using religion to take money from the people and said he was abusing religious freedom. They gave him a three to 12-year prison term. The exact date of his arrest was not specified.
However, someone helped him escape and he fled to Binh Phuoc Province in southern Vietnam. There he was again caught and imprisoned.
A contact for the Vietnamese churches said if he is returned to the police in the North, he will be severely beaten; if he remains in the South, he will simply be imprisoned. In either case, believers around the world are asked to pray that he regain his freedom. The Vietnam constitution stipulates freedom of religion.
Ma Van Bay came to the Lord in 1990 by listening to FEBC radio. He took gospel training in Hanoi and returned to his community, where his ministry spurred the growth of the local church. This caught the attention of local authorities, who began to persecute Bay and the other believers. Bay was persecuted several times and once given a 3 to 12-year prison sentence.
In 1997, out of fear of torture or arrest, he left his family and fled to the South. Later he was reunited with his family and was instrumental in translating Biblical materials from Vietnamese into the Hmong language. Those materials have been greatly appreciated by Hmong believers.
Vietnamese Christian workers are continually badgered to compromise their faith by godless Communist community leaders. Pray for Bay and all Christian workers in Vietnam. There are now approximately 400 pastors imprisoned for their faith in Vietnam.
Christian Aid sends help to families of Christian workers who have been imprisoned. For more information write insider@christianaid.org and put MI-447 740-VHM on the subject line. A photo of Mr. Bay is posted on our website at

3. RAJASTHAN CONVENTION DRAWS 35,000
Between 35,000 and 40,000 people attended the district convention of a church-planting ministry in Rajasthan state of India recently, according to reports received by Christian Aid.
It was the 23rd convention in that church, planted by a Rajasthan-based ministry that actually began in 1963. The ministry has over 800 missionaries and gospel workers and has planted more than 1200 churches.
"The meetings began with praise, adoration and thanksgiving. Senior leaders held their hands together along with the gathered saints declaring the unity of the hearts and minds for God to move in these meetings," the leader told Christian Aid.
And God honored their prayer. The leader said, "The move of the Holy Spirit was clearly seen in the morning sessions, and an expectant crowd and a heavenly presence were characteristic of the evening meetings." The men gained "a new enthusiasm and vigor to take the gospel to the towns and villages of North India."
The convention saw the graduation ceremonies of 34 students from the group's Bible college, and 103 new believers answered the call to be baptized.
For more information on this effective church-planting ministry or how to support it, write insider@christianaid.org and put MI-447 646-NMM on the subject line.
----------------------------------------------
4. RADIO REACHES INDIA'S MILLIONS
India is a secular nation with 1.1 billion people. More than 60% of them are illiterate, so radio is a main mode of media communication.
A typical small village in India has at least two or three makeshift teashops, and every teashop has a radio playing constantly at high volume!
One ministry told Christian Aid recently it was given a precious opportunity to broadcast its gospel radio program, "Hope in Despair," every Friday from 7:45 to 8 p.m. for only $75 per broadcast. As the first message was broadcast, the producers cried to the Lord that it might become "the power of God unto salvation" to the 7 million people within reach of that station.
They later received this letter from someone listening to the first broadcast:
"Dear Pastor, I was about to commit suicide. I have suffered such severe family problems that I gave up on life.
Hope died within me. But when you said over the radio, 'Do not commit suicide, there is still hope for you,' I threw away the poison I was going to mix in milk and drink. If I hadn't listened to your radio program, by now I would have become a dead body. I want to attend your seekers' conference."
Please pray that this ministry will find the funds to continue its effective radio outreach. Persons who would like to sponsor a radio broadcast may write insider@christianaid.org and put MI-447 620-HOM on the subject line.

In the early days of freedom, Zhivko and Nellie Tonchev began fervently proclaiming Christ and soon gathered a congregation of 500 believers. But the congregation never had a building of its own-until now. Now they stand in front of a building given to them and their congregation. See today's exciting lead story.

Subject: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Dear friends,
Peace to you, to your family and friends,
peace and also Merry Christmas!
Let the upcoming holidays go wonderfully and also the New Year. God Bless you everyday and all you do, along with your wishes. May God's peace fill your heart and your home.
Thank you for the prayer support in the course of the year. Your prayers helped us everyday, which means that you entered into our work where you are at. Great happiness is placed in the Christian family and it is together that we labor for the glory of our God in spreading the good news of the Gospel.
I think you might have forgotten about me (just kidding). This year was very stressful. So many things needed to be done in order to continue serving and living in Russia. Unfortunately the questions of registration here complicate matters. I ask you again and again to pray about this so that these questions will be decided for us this upcoming year.
In December, from the 4th to the 7th, a Christian film called Climb was shown in the central movie theatre of the city of Khabarovsk for all who wanted to watch. The movie theatre was full. Many people couldn't get in so they went to the next viewing in order to get a seat. After the movie the Gospel of John was given away to all who wanted it. Some people made a decision for Christ. The children from the orphanages occupied the first few rows. I went to all the orphanages and boarding schools and gave away more than 600 tickets. All of the invited children plus their directors came.

In November an American embassy opened a one-year multi-visa for me. If there be God's will, I plan to be to America in March and April. Please pray for that God will bless my planning and the visit itself.
In December and January we have plans to conduct Christmas holiday programs in the orphanages and to include brothers and sisters from our youth club.
I am always interested to know more about how your life and ministry goes on. If this is possible, please write me on my e-mail address.
Please pray for me and for us.
Svyatoslav and his family send their hellos to you and yours.
With Love and prayers, Svitlana.
May the Lord bless and keep you may his face shine upon you and be gracious and give you peace,
Sincerely,

Our church (www.urbancrest.org) sends her money every month in cooperation with several other churches. Svitlana trains young people to go into orphanages every week and teach the children Bible stories. Many have come to Christ and the Lord is having a great effect on the kid's lives.
We work directly with her to do summer festivals. She has all kinds of sports equipment like trampolines, giant volleyballs, bows and arrows and a lot of other stuff. Last summer we had over 200 trust Christ in a city in Siberia in only 3 1/2 days.
We are doing one this summer....leaving Aug 23 if you want to go. The price includes a month of follow up for the city by Russian nationals after we leave.
I will send some photos of Svitlana's work with the orphans. Last summer we built some playground equipment for 3 orphanages.

Howdy Ho!
Hope you had a good weekend. We went to Warsaw and had a few meetings and Daniel got a couple of stitches,... While we were waiting for our train to come on Saturday AM to go to Warsaw, Beth and Daniel were getting in their running time before they have to sit for 2.5 hours and Beth tripped Daniel and he fell head-first into the side of trash can. It had a handle sticking out under the bag and his forehead got a bit of gash. We stopped the bleeding and the para-medics come over and wonder if we want an ambulance. I was supposed to be going to a pastor's meeting so I said no. When we get to Warsaw, Sara wanted him checked out and the wound cleaned out.
So we went to a clinic and they cleaned it and gave 2 stitches. They don't use butter-fly bandages here. So we had an exciting start to our weekend.
Our colleagues in Warsaw are a great blessing -both the missionaries and the couple who over see campus ministry.
We spent some time with the national church planting coordinator and Curt attended a Petra meeting Saturday night.
Then Sunday we began planning for the summer leadership training, and then we all met with the Bishop of the Pentecostal church in Poland today. Eventless trip home -thankfully.
This weekend reminded us of how important the prayers we receive are.
Thank you for helping us! Prayers for protection, provision and guidance are so appreciative. Please pray for this nation, church leaders, our campus ministry strategy and God's will to be accomplished.
Blessings,
Curt
CAN YOU PLEASE SUPPORT ME IN SOMETHING ?
That considers a God's protection for what I am doing in a moment in a church.
And that's translating, administration...
I like translating very much because of the flow of the Spirit (if it's balm to be a balm;
if it's power to be a power) and new friendships.
But what is on my heart the most is evangelization between young people.
And also on a heart
of my Laki. I believe God will give us great opportunities and open doors for us, because of the things I give glory to Him - years of SEEKING HIS WILL AND LIVING FOR HIM, DREAMING AND PRAYING. BECAUSE I AM SURE GOD IS SEEKING FOR A PEOPLE ON WHOSE HEARTS HE
CAN PUT HIS BURDENS.
There is some understanding, but suddenly some problems wants to occur - and I know that
has nothing to do with a person but that's just spiritual.
And I am in Orthodox nation and not interested for a small Baptist church with less then 10
people, and almost just old people. I felt hurt enough.
JUST WANT TO STAY WITH MY LORD AND IN HIS WILL, AND BE USED FOR HIS GLORY.
Thank You very, very much.
Maybe soon will send You few more words to understand leading and inspiration for this kind of developing friendship.
MAY GOD REALLY BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY IN ALL YOU THINK, OR PRAY OR DO !

I have been waiting for so long for a godly mate, that sometimes all that seems as a wasted time.
I am 34, believer since I was 20.
Good thing is that I was never with somebody and look very young.
CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE GOD'S ANNOITED ONE AND EVANGELIST, I HAVE GOD'S GREAT PROMISES....
ministry, obligations, but there is also many struggles, obstacles from religious people, then pressures from family, personal growth and questions....
There is some relationship with a dear brother in other city, but he still didn't finish college, do
not work.... I could say that I am quite pretty, and I was relaxed thinking that I can always have
a boyfriend. I REALLY CARED FOR ONE CHRISTIAN, BUT RECENTLY I FOUND OUT HE DIDN'T
TOLD ME THE TRUTH ABOUT FEW THINGS, so I really have some questions…
After 2 years and 5 months since we start to talk, now he told me he has 8 exams to finish
college. That can goes for who knows….
and he is my age !
I am from Serbia, a nation where we have wars and revolutions, poverty and bombings...
Small churches, unacceptance from Orthodox churches, small number of new born believers,
fight for converts to become committed etc. THERE IS CONSTANTLY OTHER PEOPLE'S PROBLEMS TO SOLVE.
There were boys interested for me but I wasn't paying attention on anyone – because of that
young man, Laki. One of them, Michael is assistant of a Pastor in a big church…
and I was "busy"
to go out with him, when he was here and he is from abroad. Every other girl would "jump" to
some opportunities. AFTER ALL DISAPOINTMENTS IN THAT BOY, NOW I THINK TO SAY TO
SOME FRIEND TO GIVE HIM MY EMAIL, IF HE ASKS FOR ME. I am sorry I do not have his email address. I was dreaming due to that godly friendship (with lot of tensions) with Laki.
I was avoiding even friendly relationship with boys because of the hopes in him. I promise myself
not to behave like that in future, because the time is flying.... I ALWAYS LOVED KIDS, BUT AS IF THEY ARE ALL I NOTICE IN LAST 3-4 YEARS….
I am tired of crying, and questions and waiting.
Want to see some real things, and results, soon, not just to have phone calls, excuses, and
Letters of that boy.
PLEASE, SUPPORT ME IN PRAYER FOR RENEWING, AND SPIRIT OF PRAYER ON ME, FOR
REAL LOVE AND GODLY MATE. PLEASE.
GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY, ABUNDANTLY, MILLION TIMES MORE.

I am making, other people say a beautiful cards, artistic or decorative. Paint some little motives,
and combine pieces from different materials I cut and prepare. I was giving them as a nice
gesture, to brothers and sisters, for birthdays to complete a present, for friends, or a memory
from Belgrade to our guests that I translated. Many people said I could sell them. BUT I NEED
TO FIND SOME SMALL GALERIES, OR BOOK SHOPS.
I have few exams to finish college, (and I need some time for that), but should help my family
a little more, so some extra income, would be really welcome.
Also, for some time I was selling children books, and it seem I will have to combine those
things. At least till I find a good bookshop.
I know some ladies, in some companies, and they were buying few months ago, some children books. The spring is coming, and I have to organize, myself again, because of finances.
But that's for an evangelist a good opportunity to make friendship, and speak (in a moment when Holy Spirit says) about Jesus.
Because that's a walk by faith, I WOULD REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE SOME PRAYER
SUPPORT. And because I need to invest some time in that – and WOULD REALLY LIKE FOR
THAT TO BE WELL-USED TIME, to get some finances, and also to get the fruit for God's
Kingdom. There is a power in a prayer, and we all need God's blessings.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY, ABUNDANTLY, AND OPEN HIS DOOR OF EVERY
BLESSING FOR YOU !

Good Morning from Krakow!
Thank you for your prayers on behalf of Sunday's sermon. It was at our home church here -not WY and it was translated from English to Polish. I long for the day I can do it in Polish. This church has a practice here of individuals praying out loud after the sermon. Kind of a "this is what God said, and this is how I want to apply it" or "God help me do this" kind of prayers. While I was preaching I could not tell how it was being received. But when they started praying, I knew I had done my part and that God was doing His as they allowed him to. While in the shower God reminded me of an example, that seemed to be pretty significant by the prayers.
Thank you for the prayers, they certainly helped.
Also, Daniel's head is all fine now. He goes back and forth on whether he shows it off or is shy and hides it. Beth is doing better every week in school and speaks accent-free Polish. Sara continues to amaze me with her grasp of the language and vocabulary. I am praising God that amidst all the beautiful blooming trees, my asthma and allergies are not bothering me for the first time. God has done a miracle there.
Blessings to you and thank you again for being part of our team,
Curt
THERE IS A LADY, SALLY, FROM WHOSE MANIPULATIVE PRAYERS, WORDS, AND INTRIQUES, I AM REALLY TIRED. And I knew to be afraid from that.
I WOULD JUST LIKE FOR HER TO LEAVE ME AND MY FUTURE HUSBAND, LADISLAV ALONE.
Because she is a kind of leader in one church she would need not only to repent, because of her interfering and words ? BUT TO BE RELEASED.
BUT I DO NOT KNOW CAN SOMEBODY BE REALEASED IF HE DO NOT UNDERSTAND HIS (her) PRISONSHIP, AND A NEED TO BE RELEASED ?
Because she is coming to church, and she wants for her and her family to have blessings ? I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN HER, DEEP, REAL REPENTANCE AND FEAR OF THE LORD. That she stop interfering other people?s life?s, attack or makes intrigues. AS IF SHE IS CONSTANTLY ON A PHONE, talking with whole city, asking about this and that, commenting other people words, bringing quarrels, even lying. And people then comment her to each other.
I AM REALLY WRITING YOU IN A FEAR OF THE LORD, AS MY LAST HOPE FOR PEOPLE HER TO BE FREE FROM HER?
BUT ALSO FOR THE PROTECTION OF ME AND LADISLAV (Laki) and our future marriage, AND ALL THE THINGS WE WANT TO DO FOR THE LORD, AND VISIONS, and things we share or start to plan.
WOULDN?T BE GOOD FOR HER TO BE FREE, AND BECOME REALLY A CHILD OF GOD ? With this letter, I want also to protect and prepare ground for what me and Ladislav should, will do for prosperity of God?s Kingdom. MAY EVERYTHING BE ON HIS GLORY, AND FOR HIM TO BE SEEN GREAT AND TRUE, BECAUSE HE IS THE ONE THAT FULFILL HIS PROMISES.

Title.
Hello ! I am praying for a people I write to, or those that write to me, SO I HOPE YOU WOULDN'T
MIND IF I SHARE SOMETHING ELSE WITH YOU.
The young man, Ladislav, whom I love deeply, and with all my heart needs a baptism in a Holy Spirit. I also believe that's God's will, and love him also with agape love.
He came to our church and was drown to me (I thought because of my look) - because of my praising God and praying in tongues. First I didn't pay attention on him.
He told me that there church do not emphasize that, and I would really like for us to have complete unity in every way.
But he really needs that and believe in baptism, and that he is baptized, but he still do not speak in tongues.
When he came I was praising God and "thundering" a little, few times when we were sitting together on a meetings (because that was in his church) I was just praising God and praying softly or singing... AND I KNOW HE DESIRE THAT GIFT SO MUCH, NOW.... since we start our fellowship and relationship. And I would like for us to have a real fellowship and unity in Spirit.
But, he is in the other city, in a church that do not speak about WHAT A GREAT HELP THAT IS,
HOW NECESSARY, AND BEAUTIFUL IS, AND FULFILLING OF GOD'S WILL - TO PRAY IN TONGUES. I am praying for that now for him.
He is doing so many things in his own strength, and I do not want for him to feel inferior.
AND WOULD REALLY LIKE FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT TO CONVINCE HIM, IN HIS BEAUTY, AND TO SHOW HIM, IN HIS BEAUTY AND PERFECTION - how beautiful and perfect are we for each other.
THANK YOU REALLY VERY, VERY MUCH & MAY GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY !

Howdy!
We are having a real spring here. It is green, rains a bit each day or so and is really pretty -not what we are used to in Wyoming.
Thank you for your prayers for health, they have really made a difference.
Asthma has not been a problem for Curt and the allergies have been very minimal! This is a miracle to me.
Language is coming along. It is not easy, but we are gaining.
Could you pray with us for 2 groups of students who will be finishing finals this week and preparing to come to Krakow the last week of May. The one team is the Evangel University Choir and the other is a Chi Alpha team from WY, MT, CO, & ID. The choir does a concert on Friday May 28th. The Chi Alpha team is doing various ministry outreaches and prayer for us, campuses and Poland.
Beth asked that you pray for her to find her watch that her grandma gave her for her birthday. She left it at the pool where her class goes and it was not there when she went back to look.
Thank you again for standing with us in prayer.

July 28 update
Howdy y'all
Thank you for your prayers for us. We have certainly appreciated them. Sara's rash is gone but the asthma for Curt continues but has been kept under control with the inhalers.
Today we celebrated Beth's 9th birthday with some fellow missionaries in Krakow. She is growing and doing well this summer.
LEGO THEOLOGY from a 6 year old:
Daniel and Beth are really into Lego's (a habit we encourage) and Daniel said, "Rocket Racer is just like God --he always wins."
Please pray for us for the next 3 weeks.
We are going to Pomysk, Poland for a student leader retreat with present and potential leaders for next year. We are teaching on basics of Christian life and mission. Then we go from there to Brussels, Belgium for the Europe College of Student Ministry where we are teaching one session. These are important times for us and the students attending. Please pray for safe travel, Spirit-guided teaching, open and receptive hearts and times of refreshing spiritually for all of us.
We have been able to meet 2 other teams who have been ministering in Poland this summer and visited our city. Thank you for coming and blessing Poland Southern Missouri and Garland, Texas.
Thanks again for your prayer partnership,

Subject: Summer 2004 on Far East Russia
Dear Mark,
There is almost half of the year passed and I hope that during this time you had many days along with God. That God kept you, your family and blessed you.
Thank you for your prayers and support. I feel it every day and this supports me very much and my team also. Here, in Khabarovsk the summer goes rather fast and there are many events, one immediately changes another. In June and July we made some mini-camps in orphanages and we are going to visit two more camps for orphans tomorrow. There we will make a sports program and also conduct Bible lessons. Also children from orphanages came to me by three-four at once. We watched Christian programs and they played and also eat.
You may soon see the pictures about how our summer goes on in Khabarovsk; see it soon on www.imageEvent.com/lanamay
Unfortunately, Svyatoslav and his family have no returned from Ukraine till 24th of July. Possibly, they will come on the 11th of August or later. That is because his wife, Liuba is possibly needs surgery.
Please pray for her health and that doctors would do everything correct.
That's why, I need to make many decisions concerning camps and other youth programs here in Khabarovsk on my own.
Starting on the 2nd of August there will take place a youth ?Covenant of peace? camp near Khabarovsk. It will finish on the 8th of August. As 10 years before, there will be 40% of non-Christian youth and another 60% of Christians. Now we finish editing new book ? these are the lessons on four topics, the book is called ?Victories in David?s life?. Everyone in the camp is going to have it and study topics from it. Please pray that God will guide this camp and keep it and protect and give strength me and to the every member of the team to conduct His will truly.
I will need to go to China after the camp to receive a new visa to continue living in Russia for some more time.
I have already written you that I came with Lyudmila from Ukraine, that she could help me in ministry during six month. She is a new missioner and she has no support at all. Now she lives in my apartment and I share the money I have for us both. But tripping to China was always a very expensive event for me and I ask you to pray that I could have the money for this.
During the summer Lyudmila helped me much with ministry for orphans and in spring starting from September she will teach girls to sew. And after the sewing lesson we plan to make a Bible lesson in the same class. I really wish that she could have an ability to live in Russia for three more month and that means she needs to go to China to get a new visa, which takes $500 two ways for both us.
Currently, we have no such money. And we need to go on the 12th of August to China. Please, pray that God will fulfill our need.
If there be God?s will, than we are going to make another camp from 15th till 20th of August with the same program as previous camp, but this will be a tent-camp. On the 24th of august Danny Griffin?s team will arrive from America to minister orphanages and also for Evangelization in Birobidjan ? small city in the Jewish region of Far East.
So, these are the plans that God opens for us and I am thankful to Him the He uses us in His ministry and gives us such a rich summer during which some people and children already repented. About one of these events I will write you below.
And also I ask you to pray for these new Christians.
When we came to camp to make a contract with the principal of that territory, we found there one woman with her girl living in that village. Woman?s name is Liubov Khabarova. She was outside and invited us inside their house?s territory and said that she is very sinful. Sins were really printed on her face, that she drunk much. Her yard was all forlorn and just there, in her yard she cried and asked God to forgive her sins and we also bowed our knees and prayed for her. We invited her only daughter, who is 13, if she wants to go to camp; she answered ?Yes.? And now we know that God gives new life for this family. There are no Christians in this village at all. Please pray for these two new sisters that they could win with God and become the first Christians and witnesses of God?s love in that village.
You are always in my heart and my prayers in spite of the distance between us, but God connects us with His love.
God bless you and keep you.
Send hellos to family and church. With Love in Christ, Svtilana.

Subject: prayer needs and thanks
Dear Mark,
I pray about you and believe that God keeps you and blesses you every new day. I want to thank you for your prayers and tell you that our Christian youth camp ?Covenant of peace? at the beginning of August was wonderful and God blessed us. There were some young people who repented and accepted Christ to their hearts while being in camp.
Christian youth testifies that this camp was a real blessing for them and they were encouraged. I have already written that when we were looking for a place to make our camp, we met a woman and helped her to get home and when we came next time to make a rent contract, she has just repented in her yard and she prayed and we also prayed for her. We invited her daughter to the camp, her daughter?s name is Larisa Khabarova and being in the camp, her daughter repented. Now they are two new sisters in the village where there are no Christians at all. Please pray for them to grown and strengthen in faith and become the first witnesses of Christ in that village.
During July we have visited some camps where children from orphanages spend their summer time. We conducted sports program and Bible lessons and prayed for those children. That was a wonderful time and God blessed us to personally communicate with children and see how the faith of some children grows. Pray for these children, that were left by their parents, but not forsaken by God.
Me and Lyudmila of august will go to China from 16th till 20th to prolong our visas to Russia. We believe that God will keep us safe according to your prayers that we need.
Danny Griffin and his team arrive to Khabarovsk to make camps and make evangelization in Jewish town in Russia ? Birobidjan and also to meet children in various orphanages. We are going to make this program together. I am very glad for this possibility and I believe that many children and people will believe in God and will follow Him. Please pray that God will show His miracles and blessing in each day of this missionary trip.
Each new paragraph contains another prayer need that is because I really need you prayers. I thank you that you did it before. I always feel your prayers and you are also in my heart and prayers.

I wasn't writing You for a long time, but I hope you will remember some of my letter and write back.
I know I knew to write about one brother in Christ, Ladislav, because I was quite in loved.
There was a lot of letters and phone calls, but because we are in different cities, we were really seeing each other rarely. I was convinced that's God's will, even writing to some people about
that, but I think I get tired of finding excuses for him.
He didn't finish college, do not work and he is 34. But I really cared and was deeply in loved no matter many Christian's couldn't understand me. I have a ministry of translating and I knew to
meet godly, good looking boys, like Michael, assistant of a Pastor from Washington, and I didn't
go out with him, because I wanted to have straight heart before the Lord.
I REALLY WANTED GOD'S WILL AND TO BE PLEASING TO HIM, AND THAT NOBODY CAN SAY
I AM FLEARTING, OR SITING ON 2 CHEARS.
And, what happened ? Two years passed, I fond out that Laidslav didn't tell me truth about some things (like that he had 8 exams to finish college ) he is sitting in his city, like passive toward many things, and I understood I really knew to feel bored (but didn't want to admit that to myself) from
the way he behaves.
He was just showing enough attention to keep You interesting (letters in a middle of the night, red roses) – but he do not move, just talk about his college, owes me some apologies, should work on his nervousness and anger….
Would like to see some results… I didn't write You also, for some time because I noticed I knew to write maybe a lot about him, and why to bore You ? As if I was going in a circle.
I do not even have email of that Michael, and he liked me seriously… Every other girl would jump, and now I think that I should go out with him, develop correspondence, then pray, wait, look for God's will, support in prayer and see what is happening.
WOULD LIKE THAT GOD MOVE A RIGHT PERSON TOWARD ME. If that has something to do
with God's will, god can give another chance, isn't it ? Or just to bring or move a right person
toward me.
I feel as if I need some comfort. IF I BORE YOU FORGIVE ME… IF YOU DO NOT READ IT, OR
WRITE TO ME, THAT'S ALSO O.K., but if You have something wise to tell me, or some wise prayer,
or comfort, I REALLY, REALLY THAK YOU, AND BLESS YOU AS A SISTER IN CHRIST.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY, ABNTANTLY, MILLION TIMES MORE, WITH HIS EVERY GOOD THING AND A GIFT, AND ANOINTING !

September Newsletter
Howdy from Krakow!
Hope you are doing well. We are finally home and are including our newsletter for you to see what we have been up to.
Last year we asked you to pray for a lady with 6 children whose husband was an alcoholic and their house had no running water. Thanks to a generous family in MN & ND, they had a great Christmas and we were able to help her get running water. In early August, her husband was in a car wreck in which 3 other people died. He has been in a coma since.
Friday her children came home from being with family and one of the children broke their arm. Please pray for this family to know God, His presence, protection and peace.
Blessings to you!
Curt
It's difficult for me to write You about this, because that hurts me. A Christian I am or was, so in loved, Ladislav, react so jealously or with envy when I shared with him a testimony about a book I translate.
That means to me so much. I didn't share with him about some financial needs or problems, mine or my family. And that's novel but with Christian ideas, talking about Evangelical churches, and good people You can meat there. That can be useful in this Orthodox nation, better then if some Pastor would speak on radio, that are churches are not a sects.
Every person has to have a job, and I love translating. I worked in a church and translate more then 10 books. And I needed a job, that's also some success, and instead to listen and rejoice, and support me in prayer, for a future and career, he reacted like with envy, insecurity….
PLEASE, CAN YOU SUPPORT ME IN PRAYER FOR HIS BLALANCE, REPENTANCE, AND UNDERSTANDING.
That he do something to show support, appreciation…. He didn't marry me yet to keep me in a house.
AND FOR GOD'S PROTECTION FOR MY FURTHER WORK, AND COOPERATION WITH LILIANA NIKOLIC.
Thank You very, very much.

Can You please help me in prayer just for God's anointing, support and a blessings for the work
I am doing, translating one good book, a novel with godly ideas. And open door for it, because
that's quite a work, but I like it, and thank God for, but also need his help, anointing and leading.
AND ALSO FOR ALL HIS OPPORTUNITIES AND BLESSINGS IN MY LIFE, because there are some opportunities.
Some possibilities can be open before me, and we all need God's blessings.
FOR SOME I WAS
JUST WAITING AND WAITING FOR SO LONG. I JUST WANT HIS OPPORTUNITIES, POSSIBILITIES, because "Who can be against us, if God is with us ?" He promised me good and great thing,
glory be to Him.
Thank You very, very much.

Respected people,
Hello ! I wrote You asking for support in prayer. CONCIRNING 2 THINGS. My younger sister enter
9. month of pregnancy, so we are expecting baby. For all of that to be O.K. and that God brings her and her husband to our church. And the other is a GOD'S PROTECTION FOR MY CAREER.
God call us to be a head and not a tale, and He is giving us His opportunities. I knew to pray for
knew achievements, new developments, I was translating books, while working in a church, SO
I KNOW THAT IT WAS GOD'S PLAN TO MEAT LILIANA, lady that leads Publishing House.
That God protect our cooperation.
I often knew to be attacked, because of my fighting-prayers, for others. And I knew to fight for my younger sister. I want to be as prayerful for others, as God wants me, but want also God's protection. Others knew to testify about miracles because of my prayers, when they knew I am praying, or they call me to pray, but I knew to feel so many times on the end of my strength, attack and carried just from God – because of the battles.
SO, I AM ADDING THIS ALSO. I WANT MY
SISTER AND HER FAMILY IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD BUT ALSO PROSPERING OF MY LIFE, ACCORDING TO GOD'S PLAN. AND GOD'S THINGS FOR MY LIFE, AS WELL FOR MY FAMILY.
God bless You abundantly, dear people.
ABUNDANTLY REALLY AND REALLY.
AND
OVERFLOWING AND OVERFLOWING. IN JESUS NAME I ASK. AMEN.

Hello ! Somebody asked me about a vision a have, considering my sister and a niece. Because I think I wrote to You also about that, few words more, if You have time to read it. It's interesting, because God is great !
I was going to a church meeting, and in a sec. I saw a little girl with dark-blond curls and heard in my thoughts "I will give You a niece". I already, have one, praise be to God, BUT WOULD LIKE FOR ME PERSONALLY TO HAVE 5 CHILDREN, AND MY SISTERS ALSO.
Only adults upset me or make me tired, children never, no matter my nephews or a niece I have, Lena, are not too peaceful.
I JUST ANSWER IN MY THOUGHTS "THANK YOU LORD !"
My sister was going to church till 4 years ago, till our uncle died on Kosovo, and mother had nervous break-down, and she was always making problems about a church.
WHEN I CAME HOME FROM A MEETING I TOLD HER THAT. I said, "Later I remember that I should ask "When, Lord ?", but that doesn't mean He would answer me immediately !" She just looked and me and didn't say anything.
When I ask where is she, MOTHER SAYS SHE AWAKE HER HUSBAND AND THEY WENT TO DOCTOR !
Then they found out she is pregnant !
Unbelievable, but God is great ! I am a 1. believer in a family, came to God through a book, "Revelation of prayer". Then she came to God and we have one sister more.
After 7 years, of being in one church, I CAME TO AOG, NEW CHURCH, BECAUSE OF GOD'S LEADING. And people in that old church were offending her, and there isn't Christian love there.
WOULD LIKE THAT GOD BRING HER HERE, TO THIS CHURCH. SHE LOVES ME, BUT CALLS PEOPLE IN THAT OLD CHURCH HYPOCRITES. With many good reasons, must say.
I THINK GOD GAVE ME THAT VISION TO CONNECT US, TO DRAW HER CLOSER TO HIM, TO BRING HER AGAIN TO CHURCH, THAT SHE KNOW THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENT, AND SPIRITUAL CHURCHES.
And thank You for Your words, really and care. She didn't check the sex of a child, but I think it will be girl. Will know soon.
WE ARE EXCPECTING, ANY DAY. May God bless You abundantly, abundantly.
PLEASE, CAN YOU WRITE ME FEW SENTENCES ABOUT YOURSELF, YOUR FAMILY, IF I MAY ASK ?

Subject: ministry
Dear Mark,
First, I'd like to thank you for your prayers and support, and say that God fully blesses this autumn time. We visited some orphanages with sports program and also shred Bible stories with children. Here in Russia, we have no permission to conduct Bible lessons in an orphanage, but we can conduct sports program along with Bible lessons and tell children about salvation. For example, in Topolevo, we were allowed by a director of this orphanage to come twice a week and teach children to saw. Liudmila teaches girls to saw and I take Bible lessons with children the same time.
Also I plan to make a choir in Topolevo and teach children to sing Christmas songs to. I wish we could go and sing in city's administration, where we are planning to make a Christmas concert for the most talented children of the city.
God send me this idea, however I know that wouldn't be simple, but I believe it is possible, so I ask you to pray that newly coming Christmas could become a good holiday for many children.
Also I plan to visit 18 orphan's homes and to congratulate 1100 orphans with Christmas in Khabarovsk city. Please pray that God bless my preparation to Christmas and planning of many events.
Also children from orphanages will be invited to my home during this period. I wait for one teacher and 6 boys to come during this week. I want to show them Christian movie, make dinner for them and also to assemble a mini-autobahn.
Usually, all boys like it.
One good event happened during last week. One of the girls from my Sunday school was taken by her new mother. She was adopted by her new mother last Thursday and now they are in hotel and will fly to America next Thursday. Today I talked with Snejana about baptism, she really wants to be baptized and she says she has already read the whole Bible that I gave her two years ago. I hope that these four days I will talk o her will give her more understanding of many important things, such as faith, spiritual growth and others to be sure she is prepared to be baptized. Please, pray about her and her mother, whose name's Patty, that they would understand each other well; no matter they both speak only their own languages. Also pray for Snejana, that she could be easily flow into American life and learn the new language. Snejana is 12, she's my special student and my best friends, and she never missed Bible lessons. And I am very glad that God found such way for her.
One of the bad news is that my brother Svyatoslav and his family have not returned from Ukraine yet. There he was put to hospital and he was found hepatitis. Now he is being healed there, please pray for his health and for the health of his wife Lyuba. Possibly, if everything goes well, they will come in November.
Liudmila will go to Ukraine in November as her visa expires. My visa also expires in November. And I will also need to go to China, Korea or Japan – these are the closest countries to Khabarovsk. Trip to China alone is rather dangerous, so I would like to go to Korea or Japan this time. However, the cost of trip to these countries varies from $300 to $500. This is rather big price for me and each time I need to go there, I pray forehead about it.
So, now I have a special prayer need about this as I have not yet have this money. Please pray that I could have necessary finances to buy the ticket to Liudmila and also for me.
Bible studies continued in our youth group, many students returned from their summer holidays. Now we study Isaiah book. Each Friday our youth group gathers in my apartment and we watch video lessons 'The 7 laws of the learner' by Bruce Wilkinson. This fall we also plan to conduct evangelization program.
During one week we plan to invite non-Christian people to come and watch Christian movies. These are our nearest plans. We also plan to go to Ohotsk – the remote city on the North, on the bank of Ohotsk Sea. There is no church there at all and we plan to make a one-week evangelization there.
I believe you will continue to pray about me and my ministry. Your prayers help me every day, God gives me wisdom how to plan ministry and how to communicate different people in city to be able to make my ministry.
Please, write me how your life goes on.
Your letters inspire me. I am also very interested to know how God blesses you.
Send hellos to your family and church.
Let God bless you and keep you.
With love in Christ, Svitlana.
Thank You for Your letter, respected brother. PRAISE GOD FOR NEW THINGS, AND MAY HE GIVE YOU ALL THE SUCCES, AND BREAKTHROUH, HIS HELP AND ANOITING.
I am quite busy, and that's good. DO NOT HAVE ALWAYS TIME TO WRITE BUT, HAVE TIME TO PRAY. AND I PRAY FOR MY CORRESPONDENT FRIENDS AND THAT GOD ANSWER AND HEAR ALL THE REQUESTS I RECEIVE.
I also received one beautiful call, as a possibility, and that's about my going to Australia for a year. After many difficult months, and problems with some brothers and sisters, and questions about that boy – GOD ALWAYS HAS A GOOD THOUGHTS FOR US, DOESN'T HE ?
Glory be to Him !
Would like and hope to see a realization of that, and hope that God will speak to those people more. I just now that the time is now. No matter that's a process.
So, may God take good care of You as only He knows to do, take good care of me, protect us and fulfill all our hearts desires, I ask in a Mighty Name of Jesus, and that's my plead.
GLORY BE TO GOD HE HEARS ALL !

Subject: about ministry
Dear Mark,
I pray about you and believe that God keeps you and blesses you every new day. Summer of 2004 has gone and God blessed all the evangelization programs we had for the children and youth in Far East Russia. In this letter I will write you about what we've been doing over this summer.
I want to thank you for your prayers and tell you that our Christian youth camp "Covenant of peace" at the beginning of August was wonderful and God blessed us. There were some young people who repented and accepted Christ into their hearts while being at the camp. The Christian youth testified that this camp was a real blessing for them and that they were encouraged. I have already written that when we were looking for a place to make our camp, we met a woman and helped her to get home and when we came next time to make a rent contract, she had just repented in her yard. She prayed and we also prayed for her. We invited her daughter, whose name is Larisa Khabarova to the camp, and while Larisa was there, she also repented. Now they are two new sisters in a village where there are no Christians at all. Please pray for them to grow and be strengthened in their faith and to become the first witnesses of Christ in that village.
During July we visited some camps where children from the orphanages spend their summer time. We conducted a sports program and Bible lessons and prayed for those children. That was a wonderful time and God blessed us by helping us to personally communicate with children and see how the faith of some of them has grown. Pray for these children who have been left by their parents, but not forsaken by God.
Each new paragraph contains another prayer need – that is because I really need you prayers. I thank you that you have prayed for me before. I always feel your prayers and you are also in my heart and prayers.
In the middle of August, me and Lyudmila went to China to prolong our visa in Russia for three more months. This trip finished successfully in spite of the fact that there were some difficulties. But finally all was good and God helped us everyday. Now I will write you about some people from China to whom we testified about Christ. I ask you to pray for them. Their names are Andrew and Mary. We met when we went to a Chinese shop and I took some Christian literature with me to give out to anyone. The only book left for the moment was a Bible with pictures for children. I talked about Christ to Andrew and gave this book to him. As he was the one who was running the shop, he gathered all the workers in the shop to listen to his Russian reading of that book. He opened a book on the crucifixion of Christ and asked about why people did that? He had previously learned to speak Russian and could read and talk Russian a bit; he did it slowly, but he understood all he was reading. He asked his co-workers whether they want to have this book also. And everybody decided to sign up for the periodical Christian literature. Now when I have returned, I plan to send some brochures and books to him and his co-workers. I ask you to pray for Andrew, his wife and those people so that they could believe and be saved.
We received our migration cards on the border and registered our visas for three months to live in Russia. This was a complex procedure as it involved going to a number of people to get signatures, etc.
At the end of August me and my team along with Danny Griffin and Rick Ellis went to a Jewish city near Birobidjan called Naifeld, to run an evangelization program for children and youth there.
There were many children coming each day to take part in our sports program and afterwards they came to our Christian children's center to listen to the gospel. More than 100 children came to meetings daily and the majority of them raised their hands after we asked who wanted to accept Christ into their lives.
Also two girls from an orphanage came with us; their names are Natasha and Anjella. They also testified to the children and youth of Naifeld about salvation through Jesus Christ. They were a part of our team and at the end of this trip they were baptized in a river not far from Naifeld. There are three girls who have been baptized during this summer.
Please pray that this new year would bring growth to their faith and that they could testify about Jesus Christ in that place. When we returned to Khabarovsk, the girls took their first communion with us and our youth congratulated them also.
After we returned from Birobidjan, we visited three children's homes where there were about 300 children. We gave some presents to children who are going to go to school this year. We made a sports program and prayed that God would bless them in the following school-year.
This summer has been a wonderful time and I thank you for your prayers and for your love and support.
This fall we plan to make evangelization programs and also to visit some different orphanages. We are going to start a Sunday school in one of the orphanages.
We will continue studying the Bible with our youth group, and also I am going to present a radio-program, on-air each Sunday evening. Lyudmila will teach girls sewing and different crafts in the orphanages.
My brother Svyatoslav and his family (wife and three children) will come to Russia on 11th of September or maybe later as they try to obtain their visas for 1-3 years in Russia. This is rather a big problem for us now. Please pray that they could gather all the necessary documents as soon as possible and get a new visa.
Please, continue to pray for us. Lyudmila sends you hellos and also thanks you for your prayers for her.
Also I have some personal needs I would like to write you about. I thank you that you prayed for my remodeling which has already finished. However, I did nothing in my water-closet as it is too expensive for me now. But I still need to buy a cupboard as most of my stuff is still in cases and boxes for a year; it takes me a lot of time to find something in these boxes. The second thing that I pray for and want to have is a washing-machine. I have never had one before but now I really need one, because there are many guests and children and it takes me a lot of time to wash everything with my hands, especially linen and parts of the sports equipment after camps. If you are acquainted with these needs, please pray that I would have money to buy it.
Also I thank you for all your prayers for me so far, I really appreciate it and I believe God will fulfill your needs and wishes.

Subject: Bible school
Respected people,
Hello ! Many times I thank God for knowing You and sharing some of my burdens with You. And
this is something important. Ladislav, Christian I am deeply in loved, want to talk with my Pastor.
He was emphasizing to me that I would behave different toward him, if I know who am I in Christ,
AS IF I WAS HUMILIATING MYSELF WHEN I CALL HIM ! I believe deeply in Laki's brother's
love,no matter there were Christian's that were teling me different. Sometimes, no matter of all respect I have for him, I KNEW TO THINK THAT HE IS JUST A FRIGHTEN, LOCKED BAPTIST, frgihten from God's Spirit, HIS OWN EMOTIONS AND GOD'S TASKS. We knew to speak aobut
such a beautiful things and evangelisation, and ideas... and then he withdraw.
Can You please, please support me in prayer, that GOD PROTECTS ME IN THAT CONVERSATION, AND US AS A COUPLE.
That Pastor listen to the Holy Spirit, and not his heart AND DRAWS US TOGETHER (because of some Pastor's idea about his son, and we are not interested for each
other)TO HAVE FEAR OF GOD, GOD' S LOVE FOR US, AND TO GET ME AND LADISLAV CLOSER, NOT OPOSITE.
TO BE USED FROM GOD TO CONQUER HIS, LADISLAV PREJUDICE TOWARD OUR, NEW, SPIRIT FILLED CHURCH.
AND THAT HE COME TO GO TO OUR NEW BIBLE SCHOOL, where I will
probably translate, because that's for years, my ministry. He start some in his school, but honestly, what he told me sound so boring…. TO OUR CHURCH GOD KNEW TO SEND EXCELLENT
GUESTS, TEACHERS AND PREACHER, not a stiff people. I AM SURE HE SHOULD BE IN THIS SCHOOL, AND I THINK HE LIKES WHAT I TOLD HIM. JUST NOT TO BE STUBBORN, but drawn
from Pastor Mane, or built a relationship with him.
This will be quite eminent school with teachers from USA that will come once in a month for weekend, for Budapest. The subject goes for 4 years, but that's one weekend in a month.
I HOPE YOU DO NOT MIND FOR SHARING THIS WITH YOU. I AM SURE THAT'S GOD'S WILL,
BUT WE BOTH KNEW TO BE COMPLICATED. We all want to be in God's plans, and I would like for him, to be in a flow of a God's blessings, and in this, our new school.
And because of God's and mine dreams and hopes, visions and burdens, CAN YOU PLEASE, PROTECT ME AND US, IN THAT CONVERSATION ? WITH LEADING AND PROTECTION OF
GOD'S SPIRIT ? What is important is quality, and a target prayers, not a quantity, and I would like
to receive those blessings.
Thank You very, very much. Write to me, and may God bless You abundantly, abundantly, WITH
ALL YOUR DREAMS AND HOPES FULFILLED !
Your prayerful sister from Belgrade, Marina
It's difficult for me to write You about this, because that hurts me. A Christian I am or was, so in loved, Ladislav, react so jealously or with envy when I shared with him a testimony about a book I translate.
That means to me so much. I didn't share with him about some financial needs or problems, mine or my family. And that's novel but with Christian ideas, talking about Evangelical churches, and good people You can meat there. A kind of thriller about a kon who knew to trick people in small American cities.
That can be useful in this Orthodox nation, better then if some Pastor would speak on radio, that are churches are not a sects.
Ladislav is in the other city, I called him after 2-3 months (wasn't calling him because of his nervousness or passivity) I do almost do not go out. Every person has to have a job, and I love translating. I worked in a church and translate more then 10 books.
By God's appointment I met a lady, Liliana that leads that Publishing house, I believe will print later some of the Evangelical books I translate. Or that it will become a Christian Publishing house.
And I needed a job, that's also some success, and instead to listen and rejoice, and support me in prayer, to receive a new book as soon as possible, (almost all I receive went on some depts) he reacted like with envy, insecurity….
And I can't except from my mother like he. He really hurt and disappointed mein that conversation.
PLEASE, CAN YOU SUPPORT ME IN PRAYER FOR HIS BLALANCE, REPENTANCE, AND UNDERSTANDING.
That he do something to show support, appreciation…. He didn't marry me yet to keep me in a house.
AND FOR GOD'S PROTECTION FOR MY FURTHER WORK, AND COOPERATION WITH LILIANA NIKOLIC.
Thank You very, very much.

Subject: WHO UNLESS NOT YOU?!...
Good afternoon GOOD PEOPLE !
For each comes the moment in the life, when it is necessary to lengthen the hand of aid, if you desire to itself good.
We has already been turned in charities organizations. They threw out our rotation. We request you by name God- help them. This is a letter from a group of college students from Omsk, Siberia. We have formed this team in pursuit of one common goal charitable fundraising to help Maria Komeliagina, a very sick girl who needs urgent medical attention. Both her parents are handicapped and hardly able to be of any financial assistance.
The Bible says, Give to Those Asking.
Instead, many prefer to deprive those who ask of their last bits. The Bible also says that even dogs sometimes get leftovers from their master s table. Now, we are asking you: is this sick girl inferior to dogs? Does she deserve to die an excruciating death because of her illness? We have been trying to raise funds for this desolate family for 3 years, and often encountered manifestations of the world s cruelty, human cold-heartedness and indifference toward someone else's distress. However, we also met good and charitable people who sent their sympathetic replies to our letters. Those people sent Maria their love in words, food, vitamins, some clothes, and toys. Some of them sent money, too. If you are able to provide Maria and her parents ANY assistance at all, please do not hesitate to do so.
Anything will do, even if you just advise us of an organization that really helps unfortunate people like this poor family.
The amount that this family needs is huge, it totals to $16,000. We are fully Aware of the enormity of this amount and of the fact that very few people are ready to give it to a sick child if the child is not their own. But, if mercy and grace are still alive in your heart, please help them with whatever you can. If you have an opportunity, any information about this family published in the Internet would help, too (please see the webpage at:
http://www.az.ru/lik/index_en.html
http://www.az.ru/lik
http://www.vstrecha.glasnet.ru/help/Maria/Maria.htm
http://www.komelagina.narod.ru/
It can also be any money, or medicine, or food, or old toys, or second-hand clothes (they will make it over for Maria). They would greatly appreciate any assistance.
We hope you will extend your sympathy to this family and their daughter.
Their address is:

Subject: Thanksgiving Day
Dear Mark,
Today you celebrate you holiday – a day of thanksgiving. I would like to congratulate you with it and wish you a good time with your family and close friends. Definitely, God is worthy to be thanked for every day of our life.
I would like to thank you for your prayer during my trip to China. I've been to Harbin, it is a big city in China, where everyone speaks only Chinese, and there are too little people who speak even English there. China has changed vary much for the last ten years and people built many buildings in such short terms.
I was told that by my interpreter there, her name's Guan Lin. I met her and told her about Christ, she first heard the gospel as she is non-Christian, but her heart was opened and she prayed first time on Sunday and then I prayed for her.
She told me many things about her own life, about her husband, her son. She was rather opened and said that she never told so much to anyone. She felt herself lonely and told that she used to bear many things in life but now her patience is almost over. She feels herself very difficult. She asks us to pray for her and also for her husband Zi Xu and her son Andy. And I ask you to support them in prayer that God would strengthen her faith and she could find a Christian church in her city and that their family would strengthen. I gave her a Christian literature as good as to other people in hospital, mostly to it's staff. Still I ask questions to God about my often trips to China, but I saw his plan for me even in going there and getting new registration.
Guan Lin continued to wonder all the time that she met a person from Russia in whom she could see a friend. And she was saying "Praise God' during these three days many times. I really felt your prayer and God's hand during this trip.
Please continue to pray for preparation of Christmas holidays that God would open al doors and we could congratulate 1370 children in orphanages and just children from poor families. Pray about me and my team, about finances for this project and transport. Let God also bless your preparation to Christmas.
Send hellos to family and church
With love in Christ, Svitlana.
Subject: preparing to Christmas
Dear Mark,
I hope that your preparing to Christmas is going well and you look forward to Christmas holidays and think how it is going to be. Let your holiday and the preparation to it is well for your family and also for your church.
During this year I plan to make Christmas holidays for 1370 children from 20 orphanages. And also I would like to invite some orphans to my home that they could feel the family Christmas atmosphere. In Russia we celebrate Christmas from 24th of December till the middle January. And I plan to spend all these days to make a program for many children. Please, pray that the team could be prepared for these plans and we could find transport and necessary finances.
On the 18th of November I go to China again to prolong visa to Khabarovsk for three more month. It is rather difficult for missioners now to be in Russia for more than three month. Please, pray for this trip and its safety. I will return to Khabarovsk on the 22nd of November.
Thank you that you have prayed even before for me and my ministry. I always feel your prayers.
I wrote you before that we started to teach girls from orphanage to saw.
Liudmila – missioner from Russia helped me to do that, now she has returned back home to Ukraine, but she thinks to come back here and continue her ministry again. You can see some of the pictures in my internet album by the following link:

You can see pictures of how we started Sunday schools in some orphanages and how we taught children to saw there.
Send hellos to family and church.
With love in Christ, Svitlana.
Can You please pray just for God's protection and love in a hearts of Mane & Sally, one older couple ?
Specially considering their son and me. I do not insist on anything and will not make a move, till he come or calls (because he is abroad)
BUT JUST WANT TO HAVE AN OPEN DOOR FROM THEIR SIDE, ALSO. They knew to show a lot of love to me, but I was stubborn for quite of time, and was ignoring what was said to me about him, Mike or God's will considering him.
We liked each other, maybe he liked me more then I liked him, because I was considering almost for a brother. I REPENT THAT I DIDN'T SHOW HIM MORE ATTTENTION, WHEN HE CAME AND HIS PARENTS "DRAG" HIM EVERYWHERE where some guests of ours went, and I translated.
AND I REPENT I DIDN'T SAY EARLIER (WHEN THEY KNEW TO COMMENT THINGS, MIKE, or asked me "What do I wait, a prince charming ?") AND JUST SAID O.K. GOD, IF THAT'S YOUR WILL, I ACCEPT IT.
That's my security now - THAT I WANT AND ACCEPT GOD'S WILL. SO I WANT FOR GOD TO OPEN EVERY DOOR, BUT WANT TO HAVE AN OPEN DOOR FROM THEIR SIDE, ALSO. And their forgiveness because I didn't listen earlier, or because of my previous ignoring of him, Mike, IN SOME MEASURE.
This is very important to me, and I thank You REALLY for Your prayers.

CAN YOU PLEASE SUPPORT ME IN PRAYER FOR SOMETHING IMPORTANT ?
I knew to write to You also about Laki, a Christian that told me to start communicating again after some period of time.
And that immediately sounds as a love that become look-warm, isn't it ? If there was a real love (except agape and folios love) in that mostly cyber-relationship.
That period of time is not 2-3 months, but almost a year. If he start a new college in 34, without finishing the previous, maybe he can think about waiting, BUT WHAT I THINK ABOUT ARE BABIES, AND THAT HE WAS DELAYING THINGS FAR TOO MUCH.
I really knew to think that's God's will, but that he is not listening God's voice.
God promised me a person appropriate in Spirit, soul and body.
Because of that distance, now, I have a lot of question, and think about all the boys that knew to show interest for me, but I was on a distance. And I must say that now, because of Laki's lies, immaturity, there is also one young man that is often in my thoughts. I WANT A WILL OF GOD. IF GOD WANTS THAT LAKI IN MY LIFE AT ALL, CAN YOU PLEASE SUPPORT ME IN PRAYER THAT GOD BRING HIM, OR MOVE HIM, TO COME, CALL OR WRITE IN NEXT 2-3 MONTHS, because God told me clearly there is no reason to wait for him, on anyone so long.
GOD IS NOT A LYER. HE DO AND IS WILLING TO FULLFIL HIS WILL IN OUR LIFES, NOW, IF WE ARE HIS, IF WE LIVE FOR HIM, IF WE SEEK HIS WILL.
And I was really waiting more then a 10 years, as a believer, asked God many questions, receive many answers, praise be to God, and promises, and I am investigating and seeking a will of God.
If You can support me in prayer, I really, really thank You.

Dear respected people ,
Hello !
I know I knew to write You about more then one thing.
BUT TWO THINGS ARE REALLY IMPORTANT FOR ME, not only "in a moment" BUT FOR MY LIFE AND IT'S QUALITY.
One is collecting the amount of money I need to take diploma from my law college, and the other one is a releasing of controlling of one young man, Laki, and his lyies.
That others understood that he wanted so much to own me, (he admit to some people that once in phone conversation, just because I MENTION HIS EX GIRL-FRIEND, OLJA, THAT "RUN" TO USA, he said he would hit me) that he became angry when a catch (me) run from his hands, that he was manipulating, giving lot of hopes, AND STILL WANT TO CONTROLE ME AND DO NOT THINK ABOUT MARRIAGE.
I WORTE HIM A VERY SHARP LETTER.
I LEFT ALL OF THAT BEHING ME, WARNING HIM TO SIT AND THINK ABOUT HIS BEHAVING, WORDS, LIES. I wrote him that I am very disappointed at him.
Some people warn me of hi strange behaving toward girls, some sisters I knew to correspond with worn me. I still needed quite a time, becuase – I DO NOT DEVELOP A COMMUNICATION WITH 10 BOYS !
Please, when, You receive my letters about those subject, and if You find time to read them, support me in prayer, or write something - I WILL BE VERY GRATEFUL TO YOU.
I am writng this becuase I am not quite sure did I send You a letter about those things, AND IF I NEEDED A SUPPORT - I NEED IT ABOUT THAT.
Thank You very, very much and may God bles You abundantly !

Thank You for Your letter. And understanding. I also understood something, about that Ladislav....
I should just see him, or make a little effort that he see me. Not as if I am hiding I care for him, or hide from others. Do you know when I saw him ? In May ?
And then I excpect something, then I am surprised if he ignores me in some measure (do not write as earlier) – AND I WAS PUNISHING HIM, for his one sentence.
And still, I know he respect me. He knows I love the Lord, but we just spend too little time together.
I THINK I REALLY UNDERSTOOD FROM THE LORD, THAT IF I WANT TO SEE HIM MOVING IN THAT AREA OF MY LIFE ALSO,
I SHOULD MOVE A LITTLE, AND AT LEAST BE ON SOME MEETINGS WHERE THERE IS YOUNG PEOPLE.
Simple, isnt it ?
ALSO, ONE LITTLE PLEAD....
CAN YOU PLEASE, SEND ME JUST ONE FORW. MESSAGE DAILY ?
LOVE, RESPECT, FROM FEW SISITERS I RECEIVE MORE THEN FEW, 5, 6, 7 DAILY. AND TILL DAY ARRIVE, thats problem. I spend too much time on that, and do not have time to read it all, just some.
CAN YOU PLEASE, SEND ME JUST ONE FORW. MESSAGE DAILY ? THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH.

I need renewing of my strength. For some things I need to fight, some
good things God wants to give me some good things, blessings, and for some I need to fight. But after few stormy months (some "brothers" and "sisters", wanted to build walls between me and Ladislav, AND GOD IS STILL IN A PROCESS OF RENEWING THAT. I EXCPECT HIS MOVE)
I need renewing of a strength, renewing of a visions, new outpouring of Gods' Spirit, and Spirit of prayer.
THERE IS SOME BEAUTIFUL CONFERENCE IN AUSTRALIA THAT WILL BE HELD FEW MONTS FROM NOW, AND I WOULD LIKE TO GO.
There is
a possibility, but that still in a process.
Brother G. I translated for asked me about Australia, then I heard for this, AND I WAIT FOR DOORS TO OPEN IF THAT'S GOD'S WILL.
IT'S ALWAYS HIS WILL TO BLESS US, and would like to ask You to support me in prayer, if possible. FOR GOD'S PROTECTION OF THAT POSSIBILITY, FOR GOD'S PROTECTION OF THE BLESSINGS HE HAS
FOR ME.
THAT WOULD BE REALLY SOMETHING, AND TO SEE BROTHERS AND SISTERS I TRANSLATED FOR, and for my and Ladislav's future.

I hope that you holidays already finished and you had a happy Christmas time. Our Russian Christmas holidays have just started.

During this week we start a Christmas program which will take place in our youth club. The program is "A Week of Christian Cinema". We invite non-Christian people who live near the neighborhood of our Bible-studying Center. And we pray that God would knock in their hearts thought these Christian movies and send them repentance. Also we invited children from the orphanage that is closest to us. And I also ask you to pray that God would bless every day that we're going to use for showing movies. Here's more detailed information about the movies we're going to show.

Pray that God would fill these children with His love and that they could get closer to Him through our ministry for them.
Send hellos to family and church.
Let God keep you.

God has blessed me with quite many good things, PRAISE AND GLORY BE TO HIM ! He has blessed my life, my health, blessed me spiritually, my career is developing, praise God, blessed my family…
WHAT I NEED AND MISS IS A SPOUSE, something I want and ask and wait from God. There are people that think I wait too long. AND IN THIS KIND OF SOCIETY THAT IS THE 1. THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT A GIRL. And something most of people, Christians also – measure Your blessings.
BECOASE OF ALL THE TESTIMONIES, AND BECAUSE OF GOD'S PROMISES, I THINK HE IS PREPARING SOME GREAT BLESSING FOR ME, AND THAT IT WILL COME SOON.
But if that's the young man who is abroad, he would also need some "pushing" of the Holy Spirit, and open doors – with time, obligations, financially.
AND I AM DREAMING TO SEE HIM, MICHAEL SOON.
IF YOU CAN HELP ME AND SUPPORT ME IN PRAYER, FOR THIS AND
OUR FUTURE MARRIAGE, I REALLY, REALLY THANK YOU.

Dear respected people ,
Hello !
I know I knew to write You about more then one thing.
BUT TWO THINGS ARE REALLY IMPORTANT FOR ME, not only "in a moment" BUT FOR MY LIFE AND IT'S QUALITY.
One is collecting the amount of money I need to take diploma from my law college, and the other one is a releasing of controlling of one young man, Laki, and his lyies.
That others understood that he wanted so much to own me, (he admit to some people that once in phone conversation, just because I MENTION HIS EX GIRL-FRIEND, OLJA, THAT "RUN" TO USA, he said he would hit me) that he became angry when a catch (me) run from his hands, that he was manipulating, giving lot of hopes, AND STILL WANT TO CONTROLE ME AND DO NOT THINK ABOUT MARRIAGE.
I WORTE HIM A VERY SHARP LETTER.
I LEFT ALL OF THAT BEHING ME, WARNING HIM TO SIT AND THINK ABOUT HIS BEHAVING, WORDS, LIES. I wrote him that I am very disappointed at him.
Some people warn me of hi strange behaving toward girls, some sisters I knew to correspond with worn me. I still needed quite a time, becuase – I DO NOT DEVELOP A COMMUNICATION WITH 10 BOYS !
Please, when, You receive my letters about those subject, and if You find time to read them, support me in prayer, or write something - I WILL BE VERY GRATEFUL TO YOU.
I am writng this becuase I am not quite sure did I send You a letter about those things, AND IF I NEEDED A SUPPORT - I NEED IT ABOUT THAT.
Thank You very, very much and may God bles You abundantly !

Subject: APSOLUTLY NECCESARRY correcting of spiritual "father" M.
Date:
Sat, Jan 22, 2005
There is some 72 YEARS OLD SPIRITUAL FATHER, and it would be MILLION TIMES MORE PROPER AND CORRECT TO WRITE "FATHER" M.
and one Christian L. in whose life God is moving miracoulosly, like in mine. And that "father" was standing between us. IF SOMEONE THAT OLD BETRAY YOUR TRUST ABOUT SOMETHING SO IMPORTANT, and I am waiting like all my life - YOU ALMOST WANT FOR THAT PERSON NOT TO EXSIST.
What knew to bring some "quarells" were the tension because of college and jobs. AND GOD DONE SOME MIRACLES ABOUT THAT. In a mean time since we talked I finished college, praise God (just to collect money and take my diploma), translated one book that is printed and I am working on the other.
THAT "FATHER" IS JUST A FONNY, AND NOTHING ELSE. Someone that is not in a moment in our country and wants to come because of mercenary (he and his wife worked with Humanitarian, etc. ; do not want to gossip and talk about the details) HE ATTACKED ME AND HUMILIATE WITHOUT A REASON, that was some misunderstanding but his behaving was…. Also, in front of one girl, Vesna. AND JUST IMAGINE SOMEONE PRETENDING THAT IS A CHRISTIAN AND SOMEONE WHO WANTED TO BE A "FATHER" TO YOUNG PEOPLE - to tell you after 4 years he didn't pray for my marriage. Just for some girl, relative.
AND THAT WAS CERTAINLY FOR HIM A STRANGE MOMENT OF SINCERITY. Because of God's truthfulness and power HE JUST TAKE OFF HIS MASK.
Not to mention how he bowes before the important people, here and abroad.
Well, God lifted me up powerfully, and IS DOING SOME MORE THINGS, FEW KNEW THINGS, LIKE ABOUT THAT BOY,
BUT I REALLY UNDERSTOOD THAT PERSON NEED TO BE THOUGHT SUCH A LESSON FROM THE LORD.
AND CORRECTED REALLY. His behaving wasn't awefull one grade, but 10. His hypocricy, also.
AND THAT GOD REALLY FINISH (better to say, start) L. AND MY STORY IN A MARRIAGE, ALSO, AND SPECIALLY BECAUSE OF BEHAVING AND INTERFEARING OF THAT PERSON (in words, conversation and specially "prayer") "He wants something better for me"
WHAT HE WANTED, IS THAT BECAUSE OF HIS SON WHO IS IN A WORLD - I DO NOT CARE ANY MORE.
YOU CAN CARE AND CARE AND CARE FOR SOMEONE. But he was harming me, AND HARMING US. AND NOW I REALLY REALIZE WHOME HE SERVE AND JUST WANT TO SEE, THAT GOD DESTROY HIS PLOTS.
THAT GOD PROTECT US, ME AND L. AND FULLFILL HIS PLANS. He is also close to the end of college, and now, when we see each other, and if we wait this New Year together, I WILL NOT "RUN" TO SHARE THAT, OR ANYTHING GOOD ABOUT US, WITH HIM, M. AND HIS WIFE.
WE REALLY NEED GOD'S PROTECTION.
HOW CAN SOMEONE BE OLD, AND SO MANY YEARS IN A CHURCH AND BEHAVE LIKE THAT, AND HURT PEOPLE, AND WANT HIS PLANS ?
THERE IS A LOT OF THINGS I COULD WRITE TO YOU, but I think this is enough.
Want to see destruction of enemy's plans, and that me and L. get married as soon as possible, that nobody can stand between us.
Thank You very much.

Please, can You support me in prayer for financial blessings ? And God's protection of that.
That's also something important, specially if You are only new-born believer in a family.
I am working, translating one book, and that's a testimony also. And I am happy for opportunity
to work something I like, but I know God wants also to bless me financially. And give further opportunities and blessings.
Can You please, support me in prayer for that, for God's plans for my life, maybe trip to Australia,
AND FOR GOD'S PROVIDING, BLESSINGS, AND PROTECTION ?
BECAUSE OF HIS FURTHER BLESSINGS AND PLANS ?
AND MAY HE DO ALL THAT FOR YOU ALSO, AND MILLION, MILLION TIMES MORE !

Could You please, pray for me, Marina and God's leading about my husband ?
There are young men that show they are interested for me (like 2 Michael's) but as if that Ladislav with his letters, and spirituality, was some idol. I had some peace to talk with hm, try to put some balms, but he do not have peace in himself. I understood that lot of my love was agape, I wanted to help him. But…
For one of those Michael's 2 respected people mention some visions but I didn't want to listen.
Few months pass since he was here, and I was thinking of him more then I want, and analyzing him.
He has piece in himself, balance, maturity… WOULD LIKE THAT GOD BRING HIM IF THOSE MEN OF GOD ARE RIGHT, IF THAT'S GOD'S WILL, and as soon as possible. Thank You very, very much.

Subject: precious Michael
Date: Wed, Oct 13, 2004
I missed some (his mom says "many") love opportunities. BUT I FEEL SORRY FOR MISSING THE OPORTUNITY TO GET TO KNOW ONE PRECIOS MICHAEL.
He is not cute baby-face boy, but is handsome, warm, secure, polite, without inferiorities, and he has an open heart toward me. Also some man of God told me for a vision about him, and no matter how much I try that is somewhere in my thoughts. I was his mom associate, and he is abroad. I also have opportunity to go abroad, so I am not interested for him because of that, certainly. I AM INTERESTED FOR THE WILL OF GOD, AND WOULD LIKE TO BE IN SOME CONTACT WITH HIM. We built a kind of friendship, but I was avoiding him, finding things to do, so, I avoid to give him my email address. Now I am sorry, and (after months of prayer, and seeking God's will) would like THAT GOD CONNECT US. I AM WAITING MY WHOLE LIFE, AND I WANT GOD'S WILL TO BE FULLFILED. I said to his mom these days that I am sorry because I didn't pay enough attention on him, but God can connect us using his parents of someone else, or if he come, He knows. I am writing You because I feel I need support in prayer, and I hope You do not mind.
Thank You very, very much.

Can You please help me in prayer just for God's anointing, support and a blessings for the work
I am doing, translating one good book, a novel with godly ideas. And open door for it, because
that's quite a work, but I like it, and thank God for, but also need his help, anointing and leading.
AND ALSO FOR ALL HIS OPPORTUNITIES AND BLESSINGS IN MY LIFE, because there are some opportunities.
Some possibilities can be open before me, and we all need God's blessings.
FOR SOME I WAS
JUST WAITING AND WAITING FOR SO LONG. I JUST WANT HIS OPPORTUNITIES, POSSIBILITIES, because "Who can be against us, if God is with us ?" He promised me good and great thing,
glory be to Him.
Thank You very, very much.

PLEASE, CAN YOU PRAY FOR MY PROTECTION FROM "PRAYERS" OF ONE PERSON, Olja, OLIVERA ? For her family she pray for the roses and for others for TESTINGS AND TRIALS, AND REALLY BAD THINGS.
But he do not want for others to be gold, otherwise she wouldn't constantly make effort to be seen, SHE JUST WANT OTHERS TO SUFFERS.
SO THAT SHE LEAVE ME ALONE WITH THAT KIND OF PRAYERS (she was torturing me and my family) AND SHE MAKES INTRIGUES, AND MADE ME A PROBLEM WITH SALLY AND PASTOR MANE.
She was also attacking Stoja, her friend.
MANY PEOPLE HAD THE SAME IDEA ABOUT HER, Stoja, BEEING IN A HOSPITAL, AND OLJA WAS "taking care" of her children, and specially husband.
Ugly to even think of, BUT THAT GOD PROTECT PEOPLE AROUND HER , STOJA, ME, IVANA, FROM WHATEVER SHE IS DOING, AND MORE THEN THAT, REALLY, DIG, AND DIG COMPLETELY THAT HEARTS, GIVE HER FEAR OF THE LORD, TOOK OUT ALL THAT ENVY THAT BRING OR FORCE HER TO THAT KIND OF PRAYERS AND BEHAVING.
That God give HER REPENTANCE for her behaving, rudeness, intrigues, and document she stole from me, but I made a copy. BUT THAT WAS VERY STRESFULL. toward me. That she understands that Sally used both of us, to make an intrigue as possible.
PLEASE, IF I MAY ASK YOU, IF YOU CAN, SUPPORT ME IN PRAYER.

Subject: open doors, posibilities

I am making, other people say a beautiful cards, artistic or decorative. Paint some little motives, and combine pieces from different materials I cut and prepare. I was giving them as a nice gesture, to brothers and sisters, for birthdays to complete a present, for friends, or a memory from Belgrade to our guests that I translated. Many people said I could sell them.
But here the bookshops can give just so little because of all their taxes, and there are other things.SO, I HAVE NOW BOXES AND HUNDREDS OF THEM, and wa sending about 20 of them to some sisters abroad. Then, God told me to send them to sister, AND ALSO TO SOME OF THE PEOPLE I KNEW TO WRITE AND MAYBE BORE THEM ABOUT LAKI.
Till I receive this book I am finishing now, I have a time, and last winter I made a lot.
IT'S ALWAYS BEST AND PERFECT TO LISTEN GOD. AND I LOVE TO GIVE A GIFTS, but when I aksed in post office in Novem. it was too much even for a little package. AFTER GOD TOLD ME THAT, I WENT AND ASK AGAIN. They made some discount, lesser amounts ! Miracles, for this country, to put some prices lower.
It's my JOY AND PRIVILIGE tosend them as a gifts. But if IF YOU AND OTHER SISTRES LIKE THEM. God knows economic situation here, and if He wants to put on a heart of some sisters to send them later more (maybe some has a book-shop, or something like that) - I JUST KNOW IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO OBEY GOD.
THEN HE GIVES US AMAZING TESTEMONIES.
I am tranaslating someting, and thats lots a work, and they are not in situation to pay more. So, some extra income, would be really welcome.
IF YOU CAN MAYBE SUPPORT ME IN PRAYER THAT GOD FIND THE WAY FOR THOSE CARDS... I can give asa gift 300 of them for month, AND THATS MY PLEASURE, but from 100 hundred maybe, to have some amount, that I can invest in them.
FOR FINANCES WE ALL SOMETIMES NEED SUPPORT IN PRAYER, and its not always simple to intercede for that – for yourself, isnt it ?
There is a power in a prayer, and we all need God's blessings.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY, ABUNDANTLY, AND OPEN HIS DOOR OF EVERY BLESSING FOR YOU !
Greetings, respect,
Your sister from Belgrade, Marina
