This week's prayer requests

Doug and his wife Gloria returned early this week from the Leadership Conference Team in Crimea. Ron and Heather return at week's end. Pray for their safe return and that the team's teaching and fellowship will have lasting impact.

• The recent container is in Kiev and is due to be released shortly. Pray that all goes well and that the contents are distributed to just the right people who need each item.

• In Crimea, Doug and Gloria visited two small drug rehab houses. Alcoholism and addiction are major problems. Most of the leaders of local churches and those leading the rehab ministries are themselves recovered addicts. Give thanks to God for his saving grace and pray for these vital ministries.
