Pastors Vitaly Sorokun (New Hope) and Andre Rezynenko (Grace Church) want to express their thanks for your prayers and support of their respective churches this past week. They continue to seek the Father's plan, and his will, in resolving the legal issues concerning the church building. If they do nothing, they face considerable fines and charges from the government, so regardless of how the Father leads them, they cling to the promises of our Rock - the LORD GOD - alone.
Sunday, October 7th I will depart from Kharkov this morning on the express train to begin my journey to the states. My flight (23 hour journey including 3 legs and layovers) from Kiev to Little Rock takes off Monday morning at 6:40 a.m. Kiev time. As I write this, I still have some packing to do, and final preparations in my apartment. I would ask you to intercede for me on the journey - for rest along the way, but also for opportunities to share the hope of Christ with those I may encounter. Pray for me as well, as I spend time this week preparing for the opportunities the Lord has granted for sharing with churches in the states in the weeks ahead.
Monday, October 8th Petition the Father to grant our brothers in Christ favor as they meet with government officials today concerning the church building in Saltavka. Pray the Lord would grant them wisdom and knowledge of His perfect will in a situation that by man's perception would appear without hope.
Tuesday, October 9th Pray for Amanda as she meets with a Ukrainian believer today (Olga) for a time of fellowship, and as she continues going through the process of packing up her apartment. Ask the Lord to grant her wisdom in knowing what to hold on to, what to release, and favor in selling those items they do not need to keep.

Thursday, October 11th The video is one of many taken during my last time with "The Book Club" english group before leaving for the states. It is hard to say goodbye even for a few months to folks who have become great friends. Pray for Amanda as she continues to guide their journey through the book of Hebrews. Ask the Lord to bring each and every person in this group into a personal and intimate relationship with him through Jesus Christ!
Friday, October 12th Please continue to pray for the cell group outreach of New Hope International Church. Some of the groups have been gathering at a nearby mall food court on Friday evenings to meet international students and invite them to New Hope services. Ask the Lord to continue to add many to the body of Christ through this church.
Saturday, October 13th Pray for Pastor Igor Zhukov and members of New Hope Ukrainian church as they gather to worship each Sunday. Ask the Lord to direct their path to find a new meeting place to rent.
Amanda and I both covet your prayers - for Amanda as she completes this part of the journey the Lord has for her in Kharkov, and for me as I transition to serving as the only person from our company in the Kharkov region.
IMPACTing the Kharkov region with the love of Christ!
