Anna
Please be praying for Will's sister, Anna. For those of you who don't know, she's headed to Odessa. This is from the most recent email that she sent out:
The invitation for the visa arrived today and I overnighted it, along with my passport and paperwork, to the Ukrainian Embassy in DC. I am paying for three day processing, but with them closed on Wednesdays and weekends, I won't receive it back until next Tuesday or Wednesday. I am scheduled to fly out next Friday, July 31st, and would appreciate your prayers that all will go well and that the visa will be granted in time.

Camp!
Today was the last day of a great VBS program, put on by a visiting group. Praise the Lord for how well it went!
Now we have a week to rest and finish preparations, and then the church here will be doing our own day camp. Please pray especially for unity among the youth during this next week as they get everything ready.
Vasya and Maksim
I asked for prayer for Vasya, the man who leads the church here, when he was sick before. He's been very sick again lately, so much that he is taking a break from church work, as much as he can. Please pray for him and his doctors. They still haven't figured out what is wrong with him.
Also, his son, Maksim, who was an active member of the church and youth group, went away to university and is now going through a real crisis of faith.
"The Council of Brothers"
Will has just become an official member of the "Council of Brothers" at church. (I don't know exactly how that translates. Elders? Board of deacons? Whatever you want to call it, it's the group of men who lead the church.) He has attended their meetings since we arrived here, but not officially. He asks that you pray specifically for wisdom and grace for him in this new role.
