Updates

Please keep praying for all the requests I asked for K. before. His court date didn't go very well before. He tends to get confused, and that's what happened when he was in front of the judge. Now he has to go back again tomorrow.

We found a wonderful apartment! Our landlady and her son went back and forth, with her telling us that it wasn't urgent, and him pushing us to move. So, we're very happy to have found something! It's big and empty, which is exactly what I've always wanted. Please pray for us as we work on getting it into better condition and then move in. That should all be in the next week or two.

Also, this is something I hadn't mentioned before: the church here has had an ongoing discipline situation with a man and his wife, who are separated. The church leadership is asking everyone to fast and pray tomorrow for resolution of that. Please pray with us!

K.

A little over a month ago a very sick homeless man came to church, asking for help. Will got to help him and take care of him for a few days, before finding a shelter in Zaporozhya that would take him. That's been very good for him! An old friend of his is in charge there now, and they're happy to be back together.

Please pray:
  • for Will and K. on April 14. It's complicated, but K. has to appear in court, and Will is going to help him.
  • for K. to be able to get his documents. If he had papers, a government program could pay for him to live at this shelter. For now, we're paying.
  • for K.'s salvation and physical health.

Hello again!

These are the prayer requests that I gave in our recent update:
  1. For Will as he leads the church youth, and for everyone in that group. Pray that they would really show God’s love to each other and to new people.
  2. For my (Phyllis’) new little Sunday school class.
  3. For our trip to Poland to renew visas. We’re leaving March 22.
  4. For us to find another apartment to rent. We have to be out of this one by May.
  5. And praise God with us for His goodness in everything!

#3 is already answered. Praise God for a good trip!

#4 isn't quite so urgent; our landlady said to take our time, but we still need to find something. There's really not much available for rent, so please do pray!
