Dr Vika, Medical Center Agape’s Neurologist, began her series of teaching in Medical Center Agape to the Family Medicine Physicians and Moniki residents about the initial visit to a neurologist. She had patients with some common diagnosis.  In this way we plan to develop the Family Medicine skills in neurology.   We also have the idea is to allow Dr Vika to teach the Whole Person Medicine to the young Russian doctors.  Dr Natalia, a Family Medicine professor from Moniki that Agape helped lead to Christ, is going to be with us to help Dr Vika to improve her teaching skills and see if MONIKI can invite Dr Vika to teach at their offices to the residents.

Please pray for Dr Vika and her ongoing work in teaching and her work at our Central Asian Clinics. 

Praise and Thanks
Thanks to God for the recent Russian Constitutional Court decision that lifts the criminal persecution from people for simply reading and studying the Bible in their homes.  We are VERY thankful because this frees us to share God’s love more openly with those who know little or nothing about Him. Please pray for a fair, honest, and merciful court system in Russia.
 
Thanks to God for all those people who helped us financially in 2019. We reached 79% of our goal to cover critical budget needs for the coming year. This will enable us to continue the work ministry at a subsistence level as we enter 2020. It's not too late to send in an "end of the year" gfit. Donate today! 
 
Praise God for supplying Yana’s (Agape staff) mom with housing. She has been involved in a legal battle for three years and recently received a favorable court decision.
 
For the Live & Learn program that was held in December; thanks to those who gave to make this program possible and thanks to God for His Spirit working in the lives of these young people.
 
Please pray…
 
Agape Leadership

• For God to supply wisdom as Agape leaders make decisions in 2020. 
• For a God-inspired “road map” outlining ministry priorities for this year.
• For leadership to have a listening ear to hear God’s purpose, timing, and strategies in all circumstances.
• That no weapon formed against our leadership, Agape staff and their families, or our programs shall prosper. 

 
Agape Clinic:

• A legal suit has been filed that may directly impact our Agape Medical Center and the use of our space to practice medicine. This is a very serious matter – please pray!
• Intercede for Central Asian migrants who visit our “free” community clinics. 
• Uplift our non-Christian clinic staff that their hearts would receive the good news of the Gospel.

 
Agape Siberian Expeditions

• For Agape expedition teams, that they will be divinely protected and enjoy good health.
• For our all-Russian teams traveling this winter to help 87 churches bring in a mighty harvest of souls.

 
Agape Volunteers

• Intercede for Tim and his family. He and his wife have been strong supporters of Agape and recently they were in a car accident. Tim has gone through multiple bone surgeries and wants to return to the mission field.  Please pray for a successful recovery.

 
Finances

• For people with wisdom and open hearts to support Agape. We need more monthly donors to continue our current level of ministry.

  
Agape Farm Staff

• Andrey’s mom is in a legal battle due to mold in her apartment. Please pray for a favorable outcome so her apartment walls will be fixed and insulated properly. 
• For Olessya, our resident orphan at the farm, that our farm staff have wisdom in how to help her grow into all that God intends for her to become.
