Your Prayers are Making a Difference

Today officials came to the work site and talked to Pastor Roma. They asked lots of questions. Our team leader informed them that the Russian Embassy told us what type of visa to obtain. They left saying they would do some more research.

In the meantime, God has been good. We have continued to work on the site and we made incredible progress today. More than half the trusses are now up and we expect to have 90 percent of the walls up. We hope to post pictures to the photo site tomorrow. It looks very impressive.

Please keep us and this project in prayer. We read the blog comments this morning. It was good to know this morning that you had a prayer meeting at the church only a couple hours before we were on the work site.

With one day to go, we expect we will be able to have all the roof trusses up and the walls roughed in.

Praise God that he has allowed you to continue in His work there in the face of poor circumstances. We have been praying not knowing exactly what the situation was. It has brought us who are left here together to support you who are there. We will continue to pray that you can finish your work and return to us safely.

Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing praise to his name, for that is pleasant. Ps 135:3
Last night (your morning) I was reading in Romans 8:31 If God is for us, who can be against us? Praise the Lord and God bless all of you immensely!!!It is so encouraging to pray for you and to hear back how our big "G" God is working. We will continue to pray for strength to finish out strong and safe travel to bring you home to us. We Love and Miss you all so much. The Verwey's

Hallelujah!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the update. Once again I want to encourage all of you to be steadfast in the Lord. Ps 27:1-2 "The Lord is my light and my salvation - whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life - of whom shall I be afraid?" As you are preparing to turn in for the night, we pray for refreshed minds, renewed strength and continued healing of the body. Praising God for the day!!! It is our hope that you will be able to continue working on the building but most of all that you are completing the work God has set before you. Pass along to Rod, there are still a few people in our congregation that has not seen the train. Love and miss you all!!! Al, Nanette & Katie

Shout with joy to God, all the earth! Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious!Say to God,"How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you." Ps 66:1-3 We are praising the Lord today for his graciouness to you in allowing you to continue His work in Siberia. It was great to see so many at the prayer meeting last night. Almost all of Steve Beals small group was there along with many others. Be encouraged again that you are continually being lifted up in prayer. Jerry, Nan was able to retrieve one of your emails for me. It was great to hear from you. Love to all, Bonnie

Ah Sovereign Lord! Maker of Heaven and Earth. Nothing is too hard for you! Let those words fall afresh on your heart and take them personally! Are you not so encouraged by the "Praising and Proclaiming" that is happening as a result of your faithfulness. It is a beautiful thing to watch the people of God unite in faith in His promises. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the opportunity to see His mighty hand at work. Oh what a way He has displayed His glory and worked wonders among His people. Does He not simply tickle your soul? March on Mighty Warriors, THE TRAILBLAZER is leading the way!
