Please pray for the street evangelism that is often carried out by our minister in Italy, Yaroslav Dovhyy. It seems that Italians are more interested in hearing the gospel now. Unfortunately, our people now appear to be quite reserved. Let’s be praying to the One Who has the ability to open and change hearts.
Praise be to God for the recent joyous event in the church – we had the baby dedication of newborn! This is the answer to the continuous prayers of Vladimir and Tanya’s family. The child was born prematurely in the seventh month and had to stay in intensive care for a long time. Thank God that He strengthened the family through this period and now they can serve others by being a great example and encouragement.
Quarantine restrictions that do not allow to hold corporate gatherings constantly affect Yaroslav’s ministry because they do not have their own church building. Please pray that the Lord will give Yaroslav wisdom regarding how he can lead a youth club in these circumstances. What makes it even worse is that they are unable to help and serve people with debilitating diseases now.
Please pray for the small groups led by Yaroslav and for the online training conducted by brother, Gryhoriy, of Perugia, as well as for communication with other Christians and counseling over the phone.
Please remember Yaroslav in your prayers as he tries to deal with his health issues – the problem is that medical consultations and appointments with the doctors are being postponed due to the pandemic. There are days when he feels very bad. Pray that God will give him strength and high spirits.
