Older requests and answers:
  • Don't stop praying for Ukraine!
  • Our landlady is gone. Thank you for praying for us while she was here. Her sister went back to Donetsk, so please pray for her safety.
  • The family that was adopting is successful and home; continue to pray for their adjustment. I also know of another family working on paperwork to get another little one out of "our" orphanage now.
  • I have stepped back from the person I was counseling. Please pray that I would have peace about that decision, and that she will understand and move on in her life. Keep praying for her.
  • The orphanage picnic was wonderful!
  • Jaan and Raia loved camp.
  • We got a new computer!
New:
  • Two of "our" boys were transferred from the orphanage to an adult institution in a village a few hours away. We should be able to visit them on Thursday or Friday. Please pray for them; they are probably quite confused and upset by the unexpected change in their lives. Pray our visit will be possible and that it will go well. (UPDATE: We're going tomorrow, that is, Wednesday.)
  • We have new neighbors in the other half of this house. Please pray that we will be able to get to know them well. So far they seem very nice.

  • Pray for peace in Ukraine and for President Poroshenko.
  • Our landlady's sister is here, and life is much more peaceful now that she has someone to be with.
  • Please continue to pray for the family adopting here.
  • Wisdom, patience, and compassion in my counseling relationship.
  • Praise God for a wonderful vacation for us! You can pray that the refreshment from it will stick with us.
  • Saturday is the orphanage picnic. Please pray for all the details involved, safety, good weather, and for the children to have a wonderful time.
  • Will has a lot that had can do for Agape to catch up after being gone.
  • Jaan and Raia are going to camp next week.
  • Pray for "healing" for our computer: that it will spontaneously work better, or that I'll have time and brain power to figure out how to fix it. You can pray for our internet connection, too; it's been really off and on lately. (Maybe this is weird, but God takes care of small things, and this really is technology that we use a lot in daily life!)
