Prayer requests from Ilgam Mukhametchin, national Bashkir missionary 
working in the cities of Voznesenko & Mesyagutovo

 

  1. Thankfulness to God for His mercy and greater activity for the salvation of people.
  1. That he understand where and how God wants to use him, to see where God wants to call him, to discover where God is at work and  and join him in that work as His slave.
  1. The maintenance and growth in faith of believers in the villages of Voznecenko, Mesyagutovo, & Burtin in the northeast part of Bashkortostan.
  1. That a fire be kindled in the hearts of believers, namely for a thirst for the salvation of those who are perishing without Jesus,so that God sets fire in their heart and gives them warmth.
  1. I greatly need wisdom from God for sharing the good news in conversations with people, local authorities, and while counseling with folks who are having spiritual struggles and questions.
  1. For unity and love of the believers toward each other and toward the lost.
  1. So that God reveal the methods of sharing the good news and of working with those trapped in alcoholism who are ruining themselves by drinking; some entire villages are in danger of this.
  1. That God would give us wisdom in enabling new relationships with children whose parents are in crisis, such as those who are struggling with alcoholism or in prison.
  1. That God would preserve the believers from delusion, doctrinal aberrations, heresies, and schisms.
  1. That God would arouse a thirst in people to search for the Truth, Godly goals in life, Godly purpose for living, and to know Him as the creator and sustainer of the universe.

May God bless those of you supporting us in prayer.  Matthew 6:33----if we will care about that which is dear to God, then God will take notice of that which is dear to us.

Your brother in Christ-
