Ivan's visa

A while ago Galilee Baptist Church in Minnesota invited Ivan Petrash (camp director and missionary) to visit them. His visa was denied that time. Now he's trying again. We just helped him get started on the process. Please pray that he'll be granted a visa this time!



March 4
Monday morning he'll be making the trip to Moscow to turn in his application.


March 14
Ivan's interview at the American embassy is March 22. Please pray that they'll decide to give him the visa and for him not to be too nervous.


March 22

They said yes! Ivan can pick his visa up in a few days. Praise the Lord!


April 10
Ivan's trip is coming up. He leaves on April 13.


April 30
And now his trip is almost over. It sounds like it's been wonderful. Please pray for a safe trip home.


May 2
Ivan just called to say that he's on his way home from Moscow to Viazniki. He had a good trip with no problems at all in connections, passport control, customs, etc. Praise the Lord! He says thanks again to everyone he visited, and he had a wonderful trip.
