Pray for the town of Obertin -there is no church here yet…<\/p><\/div>\n

Mikhail has lived in Obertin all his life, several years ago he became a follower of Jesus while visiting relatives in Russian now he wants to start a church in his hometown!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Misha, Mikhail and Myself in front of Mikhail’s house in the village of Obertin<\/p><\/div>\n

I learned about Mikhail though his son who is one of our CMI students in Odessa. Misha and I decided to pay him a visit on the way home from our Bible school conference<\/a> in Western Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Unfinished house that Mikhail wants to turn into a meeting place<\/p><\/div>\n

When the weather is good Mikhail rides the bus to another town along a pothole ridden road to attend a small church. \u00a0His dream is to turn this unfinished house on his property into a meeting place for a church.<\/p>\n

\"\"

School where Mikhail works<\/p><\/div>\n

The local school is located directly across the street from Mikhail’s house. \u00a0This is where he teaches P.E. and coaches soccer. The school even allows him to pray with his students before practice!<\/p>\n

Would you pray for Mikhail and the town of Obertin?<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Pray that God would open hearts<\/li>\n
  • Pray that Mikhail would boldly share Jesus<\/li>\n
  • Pray that God would provide to the means to help finish the house<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
