Prayer Requests

As each day gets closer to leave we find that we are very excited about returning to "Mother Russia".

Here are a few things we are asking you to pray for:

1. We depart on Friday morning May 20th @ 8:30 from Albuquerque. We ask for you to please pray for us to have safe travel and for our travel with Will to be smooth. We do not expect everything to be perfect but feel as if we are planning blindly for what to be prepared for. We are trusting the Lord through this experience but are a bit nervous about what is to come. We will basically have a day and a half of travel from the time we leave ABQ until we arrive at our destination in St. Petersburg.

2. Pray for our Russia team members who will be traveling a few days after us. Also, pray for them to be diligent in spending time with the Lord every day.

3. Pray for the hearts of the children who will be attending the camp. Also, pray for the translators as well. That each one would see the love of Jesus Christ and desire to know more about Him.

4. Pray for our relationship with the Lord to grow through our experience this summer, that we would come to know Jesus in a way we never have before. We desire to come closer together this summer as a married couple & family through our experience. We truly believe that we have been called to serve this summer and that the Lord has a purpose for us.

How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” Romans 10:14 (NIV)

Love,
John & Nichole
