Orphans First Prayer Requests March 30th  2006
 
Dear Prayer Friends,
 
    This past week has been laden with heaviness as  Satan bombards young 
minds with depression and thoughts of suicide--so prevalent  among teens.  I just 
got word from Diana in Denver that one of  her foster children committed 
suicide.  This will have  repercussions on other children, particularly those in 
the streets.  Diana  writes: "The grief has spread to all of my street kids and 
Katrina has also been  affected.  She will be coming home on Monday. Pray for 
her safe trip  back to Denver? She is deeply hurt by yet another loss in her 
life."   To add to the convoluted tragedy, one boy witnessed the suicide and 
is now in  custody accused of murder. Pray for him and all the children and 
families  involved.
 
    I know of other deeply depressed  youths--please pray for them too.    
 
Russia's Street Children
Concerning the street children we support in Moscow, Alexandra  writes:    
Praise: I praise God giving us joy and giving us inspiration. Pray for  Elena 
and Arpik to be more committed to God and to be obedient to His word. Pray  
for Ania to have hunger for God and His righteousness. Pray for Katia to be 
able  to attend our cell more often. 
Requests:
- Pray for Arpik's situation:  she has a male friend, who's in love with her. 
She doesn't love him. He's  threatening to commit suicide if she doesn't 
become his girlfriend. She's  depressed about the situation. Pray for the man to 
be delivered and saved. 
-  Pray for our min. to be able to buy a car. We'll be able to do much more 
for the  homeless. Pray for us to minister together with R., if it's God's 
will. Please,  pray for God to add him to our team. Pray for Leva's salvation and 
deliverance.  
- Pray for Vova Nikulcha's salvation and deliverance. He uses hypnosis  
against people and openly brags about his occult powers. Pray for him to fear  God 
and to stop leading people astray.
Requests:
- Pray for Iana O., who has cancer. Her family and she used to  be believers, 
but through the cancer issue they turned away from God. Now they  are hateful 
against the believers and they drink now. Pray for them to trust in  God 
again and for Iana to be healed. 
- Pray for our project with street kids  this coming Wed. to go well. Pray 
for salvations, deliverance, healings. Pray  for us to be able to open new 
feeding sites for street kids. Pray for us to be  able to open an orphanage for 
them. Pray for their hearts to be open. 
- Pray  for Sergei Chistiakov and his mother Luba. Sergei was forced by his 
Mom to part  with a girl that he loved. He's broken hearted and drinks much. 
His Mom is  involved in the occult and attacks me verbally when I see her. They 
both need  salvation and deliverance. 
- Pray for Sasha Boldarev's salvation and deliverance. He's a street teen.  
His Dad was an alcoholic and he doesn't have a Mom (she died). Sasha ran away  
from his abusive Dad and lives on the street. Pray for him to be open to God 
and  to have a better life. 
 
INDIA
    Continue praying for our children in Grace Home,  India as well as wisdom 
on whether or not we should be partnering with other  Indian ministries 
soliciting our help at this time.
 
HAITI
    Nothing new except that the orphanage we had  "adopted" no longer wants 
our help--even though the children are very scrawny  and need help.  We will 
channel the support that we already sent to Haiti  to two other orphanages that 
will be expanding--and who we know personally and  trust. I have learned many 
lessons through this tragic experience.  And we  must continue praying for the 
children--victims of man's greed &  pride.  
 
ADOPTIONS
    Nothing new so keep praying for them all.
 
USA
    My husband is presently in Bay St. Louis helping  with Katrina relief and 
reminded me we should all be praying for those whose  lives were so 
devastated by that event. 

Thanks so much for your  prayers.
