At first they said, “Maybe about 40 ladies will be coming.” Next they said, “We should prepare for about 70 ladies.” Well, the conference hasn’t begun yet and we are all making changes and rearranging rooms for the ladies to stay the night as the latest count is over 100 ladies and more phone calls are coming in. Praise the Lord that Gini and Renee have already been able to connect with some ladies and built a relationship. Also, I shortened my teaching from 5 days to 4 so that the men could all return home and be sure that they relieved their wives to attend the conference. One man, Nadir, lives about 5 hours away. He returned home and his wife will be traveling 12 hours by bus to attend the conference. Ivan is returning home, a four hour trip, picking up his wife and four ladies and returning to Ufa. These are the kind of stories that are taking place – the men are rising to the occasion. So, please pray…and here are some ways that you can:
1. For Gini and Renee – that God would use their preparation and minister through them in whatever way He wants to. For freedom to allow the Holy Spirit to take over, for strength and endurance to keep up with the women. For wisdom as they are asked questions.
2. For Emilia, our interpreter, who is the coordinator of the whole conference. She has been buzzing around making sure that all things are in order. Pray for her strength, stamina and leadership and that in all of this she can be a learner too.
3. For the Ladies in attendance – that they would be encouraged and strengthened in their faith and embrace the message being given through their American sisters.
We need your prayers…!
