“‘HERE AM I, SEND ME!”
The Lord has raised up a group of men from Grace Church of Napa Valley to travel to Uchalia, Russia from August 15-31, 2008 to build a House of Prayer for their church planter, Nadir Davelkiltin (on right in picture – That’s Jake on the left). He, along with his wife, Lena, and their three adopted children, are presently living in a small apartment, but when the building is complete they will use it both as a home and also as the location of their church worship services. (This is a normal practice in Bashkortostan as it is very difficult to get permission to rent or buy a building to be used as a church) This church is the only gospel light in the city of Uchalia, a city of about 46,000 people of which over 80% are Muslims. Pray for Nadir as he proclaims the Gospel.
The construction team consists of the following seven men: Neil Adams, Carl Abernethy, Aaron Fernandez, Gary Glenn, Jim Olson, Tim Whitlock and Mark Windecker, Pray for each one of these men, who are willing to be expended for the sake of the Gospel. Pray that God watches over their families and lives as they prepare to go, for expediency in getting the necessary visas, for God’s complete financial provision for the trip – airlines tickets have skyrocketed due to the sharp rise in the price of fuel. Also, pray that God would use this trip to encourage the lives of our Russian brothers and sisters, for safety and for God’s continued sovereign control of all the details of planning a trip of this magnitude.
If you would like to partner with the construction team from Grace Church in Napa through prayer or financially, please let them know (www.gracenapa.org). As always, we will do our best to keep you up to date on the progress of the trip right here at our coalition blog.
