Many things

Our country is in turmoil. The elections were Sunday, and the young people do not want the communists to be in control again. They are tired of living in a communist country. There are riots in the center of the city (we are staying away). They have burned the president's building and the parliament building. Please pray for Moldova.

In the midst of this Elissa and I have packed and are ready to head to the airport. This has nothing to do with the protests. She has the opportunity to go to a Eurasia MK retreat in Turkey with 30-some other teens from Eurasia. We are so excited for this time for her. The MK department in Springfield has brought in a team to work with the students and a special youth speaker with share with them. Our kids don't get yearly youth camps, winter retreats or youth conventions. We are excited for this time for them. Please pray that God works in a special way in Elissa's life this weekend. (Brian Pingel, the speaker, has asked you to especially remember to pray on Good Friday).

We are also waiting for the documents to be finished for the registration of the Home of Hope. Please pray for this. The communists want to shut down all humanitarian and religious work and workers in the country. Please pray that God would go before us and we'd get these much needed documents even in the midst of all the unrest in the country.

Thanks for so many of you who write or let us know that you are faithfully in prayer for us.
