Please join me in praying for an upcoming
conference in St. Petersburg, Russia. It will be 31 October through 2 November
and we believe it will greatly advance ministry in sport for that part of the
world. A network of churches and a television network are joining to host the
event which will include presenters from their region as well as the USA.
Please pray that we further the Lord’s purposes in that region and that we
enhance the ministries of our local colleagues.
