1) , Pray for a new church called the Grace church, located in the Television Center district of the megacity of Ufa. Pray for the pastor of the small church, for the survival of the church, for its growth, both spiritual and numerical, and for its transformation into a church planting church that will significantly impact the Television Center district of Ufa.

 2) Pray for efforts to plant churches in the Nizhegorodka and Sipaelovo districts of the megacity of Ufa. There will be volunteers coming in May and June towards that end. Pray that God will give us wisdom how to use the volunteers. Pray that God will help us to find people of goodwill and peace in the Nizhegorodka and Sipaelovo districts. Pray that we will be able to find local leadership to lead fledgling congregations in those districts and be able to rent sufficient space for them to meet. And pray that God might withstand the opposition, both spiritual and physical.

 3) Pray for Paul and Carol Schlett, who will be coming to the megacity of Ufa in May on a vision trip, primarily to determine if God might have them plant their lives here as Master program missionaries. Pray that God might reveal His will to this precious couple while they are here in Ufa, and no matter what He tells them, whether it be yes or no, that they will be used of God during their three week sojourn in our city and that their short stay might be one that they will always cherish the memory of.

 4) Pray for the entire Carr family. Since returning from an annual general meeting in Poland, the Carrs and their five children have had a serious bout of sickness (flu and bronchitis). Moreover, Chris' uncle is on his death bed and is given only days to live. Pray that in this time of sickness, stress, and mourning, that the Carr family might have an extra-ordinary sense of the Lord's presence. Pray that the Lord might strengthen Chris when he travels to console relatives and preach at his uncle's funeral. Pray for the Lord's intervention with respect to the Carrs' health and emotions.

 Blessings!
