Here are some prayer requests for our missionary ventures:

We are opening up a new church in Donetsk, Ukraine. So far the opening meetings have about 80 people. Pray for provision for sound systems and to rent a hall. The couple leading this are Dima and Inna Oleshko. They are a young couple in their mid- 30's . Pray for spiritual and physical strength for them to lead this new plant as they already have a growing church in a different city one hour away and they need wisdom on how to use their time.

Also, pray for a vehicle for Dima and Inna as they don't have one of their own. They must borrow vehicles or use public transportation to do their ministry work.

Pray for Igor Garmazonov our co-leader of our ministry in Ukraine. Last summer it was discovered that Igor has Hepatitis-C, which attacks the liver. This is probably a result of Igor's lifestyle before he came to the Lord 15 years ago. He is on medication now and has to spend time in the hospital periodically. Pray also for his wife Ira and his family. We are trusting the Lord for full restoration for his body.

Please pray for more young leaders to be raised up to plant churches. Church planting is the best way to advance the kingdom of God, but we need leaders who will catch this vision and that God would call and anoint to advance the kingdom.

Please pray for Dan's trip to Latvia in May. In Latvia we have 2 Russian speaking churches and are looking forward to more leaders raised up to plant more.

Please pray for Dan's trip to Ukraine in June. I will be there for 2 weeks for 2 conferences, a pastor's day, and visiting churches I haven't seen in a while . Please pray for strength and provision for this trip.

Thanks for your help in prayer and support. Blessings to all,

Dan and Gwen Slade
