Pray that peace will come soon and pray that God would protect them and strengthen them to keep serving.<\/p>\n<h4>We&#8217;re Giving More Ministers an Opportunity to Study!<\/h4>\n<p>I want you to know how active Christina is in our ministry, this week she has been working doubly hard with our translation team! They are putting the final touches on the first course for our online theological training program.<\/p>\n<p>Why am I excited about this program? Because it will open wide the doors for many ministers in churches world-wide to study theology and build a strong foundation upon which they can serve in their local church!<\/p>\n<p>Please pray for our translation team as they finish editing these courses and pray for me as I prepare to facilitate the first course in January 2015.<\/p>\n<h4>We Need Wheels<\/h4>\n<p>We have no car! Generally we can get along here without a car, however, with the tedious situation in Ukraine we believe it is wise for us to have our own transportation. Should Russian tanks come rolling into Odessa we would probably be asked to leave. At that point relying on public transportation may be a problem.<\/p>\n<p>That is why we are looking to purchase a vehicle that could safely and reliably evacuate our family if things get violent here in Odessa. Of course we are praying that won&#8217;t happen but it&#8217;s best to be prepared.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m planning to travel to a car market a couple hundred miles north of us next week to see if I can find something. We could still use some help with this purchase so if you&#8217;d like to donate\u00a0you can do that <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a title=\"Support\" href=\"https:\/\/sukofamily.org\/support\/\">here.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h4>World Magazine Feature<\/h4>\n<p>A couple of weeks ago a writer for World Magazine called me and asked me a few questions about Ukraine.
