Dear
Co-Laborers in the Harvest,
Dear
Friends of this ministry - from Rybinsk, Russia - Lyudmila and her Mother,
Valentina, emailed asking for prayer. First for Valentina; she fell and is in
severe pain. She is being treated but the medication is not adequate and does
not enable her to sleep – often she makes it through the night by prayer. I am
requesting that you pray for Valentina to be healed. Jesus is more than able
and I trust He will receive all the glory from these precious sisters in the
Lord.
I
also ask you to pray that Lyudmila will be led by the Lord to a good job with a
generous salary. She has faithfully labored for many years at the same company.
Financial hardship is forcing that company to close. Lyudmila is a single
mother to two amazing young boys. I can tell you I have seen firsthand the
passion she has for Jesus. When I ask her how I can pray she says, “That my
boys will be REAL Christians!” Many of us are moms and have breathed that same
pray for our own children…The enemy wants our kids and we must stand together
in prayer for their salvation and sanctification!
I
love this family dearly and ask you to pour His love on them in prayer. Thank
you and may God speak so deeply and
clearly to your heart as you pray that the rest of your life is given to
continual communion with the GREATEST Lover of your soul!
Agape,
Vicky
We give thanks to God
always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, remembering without
ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord
Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father… ~1 Thessalonians 1:2-3~
For this reason we also
thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you
heard from us, you welcomed it
not as the word of men, but as
it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who
believe…~1 Thessalonians 2:13~
…Pray without ceasing… ~1
Thessalonians 5:13~
Therefore I also, after
I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, do not cease to give thanks for you, making
mention of you in my prayers: that the
God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit
of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your
understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His
calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and
what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according
to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him
from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and
might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also
in that which is to come. For this
reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ…that He would
grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might
through His Spirit in the inner man, that
Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and
grounded in love, may be able to
comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and
height-- to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be
filled with all the fullness of God. Now
to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by
Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. ~Ephesians 3:14-20~
PS:
The ministry in Russia is so dear to our hearts. I know we are focused on
Africa but God has more than enough strength to look after ALL people on ALL
countries. We are so thankful for Mark Piester, Natasha Chilikina, and the
family of God in Vladimir and Rybinsk…please remember to pray for them too….THANKS!
