September Prayer Requests!

​This patient is homeless. Temporarily, he is sleeping in the basement of a rehab building. Agape medical staff are treating his wounds and will do follow up care.

For most of us, life as we knew it last year has most certainly changed. Face to face meetings have changed to Zoom calls. School from kindergarten to college has changed. Everything from grocery store runs to commercial airline travel has changed. Yet, some things never change. People still need Jesus and medical care. Agape is in a unique position to continue sharing God’s love through compassionate medical care to an ever changing, ever uncertain world. Please continue to uplift the Agape Clinic as we adapt to new rules and regulations and for our Telemedical program that reaches patients in the remote parts of eastern Siberia. Despite setbacks, we are continuing to share the Good News about Jesus! 
 
Praises: 
Our Live & Learn program at the Agape Farm now has a core group 6 Russians who all speak some English. This group will help plan 3-day (and occasionally 10-day) Live & Learn programs. Dr. Bill and Pat are overseeing this Live & Learn project and already the Russians came forward with an idea for our first 3-day seminar to be held in mid-September for pregnant orphans and single moms with babies and young children.  
 
Please pray… 
 
Medical Center Agape: 

• For Agape staff as they provide consultations through our online medical ministry. 
• Ask God to provide financial partners the homeless ministry in Moscow.
• Uplift the financial stability of our Moscow clinic and the whole Agape ministry during this time of uncertainty and pandemic vulnerability.

 
Agape Leadership and Staff: 

• For healing of our receptionist's 18-year-old nephew Ilya from hip osteomyelitis. He has had difficulty getting adequate medical treatment.
• For the Lord's protection for all Agape people in Russia, in the US, Canada, Europe and other countries and for the protection of their loved ones during the continued COVID19 pandemic.

 
Agape Farm:

• Uplift the young moms attending our Live & Learn seminar, that they come to understand God’s plan for families. Some unmarried partners or husbands may also attend. Please pray for Larissa, the leader of this program, and for unity within our core group – this is a learning experience for all of us.
• Please pray for Russian laborers who will “be involved” in future “Live & Learn” programs, and also for donors who will support the project financially. 

 
Requests from our Supporters and Colleagues in Ministry

• For the discipleship program at Freedom Fellowship Church in Hillsboro, Ohio: to multiply, by God’s leading, Christ-like disciples who will train other faithful, growing Christians with the goal of always training the next generation of disciples.  
• Please uplift Edward G., a head Bishop over a Christian denomination in Russia. In a pending court case, the Bishop is being accused of violating the new missionary law. This is very serious. If the prosecutor wins this case, the next step will be to accuse the church of extremism. The believers in Russia are fasting and praying for God's favor and protection.

News Flash!  Good news! We just learned that yesterday the judge ruled in favor of Pastor Edward G. Praise God! The case is closed. Please pray that the doors will remain open for sharing the Gospel in Russia, and that multitudes of people would receive Christ as their Savior. Thank you!
 
Thank you for joining us in praying for these needs.
 
Then when you call upon me and come and pray to me, I will hear you.”
