Russia 2013

Dear Partners,

Greetings in the name of the Lord!  “Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.  Sing to the Lord, praise His name; proclaim His salvation day after day.  Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous deeds among all peoples.  For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; He is to be feared above all the gods.”  Ps. 96: 1-4   Once again, the Lord is giving me the privilege of singing a new song, proclaiming His salvation and declaring His glory in the Kaliningrad Region of Russia.

The first part of my trip will be a little different this year as it will include ministering with ASK Network -- an international movement of people from all nations and all generations who long to see God’s kingdom come and who have heard and felt the call to pray — to ASK.  I will join with Anita Cleverly and Matthew Key from England to hold two ASK Network Conferences in the Kaliningrad region...one with the Church of the Living God in Gusev and the other with Christian Life Church in the city of Kaliningrad. The conferences are intended to encourage our Russian brothers and sisters through prayer, worship, Biblical meditation and teaching.

After the ASK Network Conferences, Angela Eanes will join me to spend several days with the children and staff of Kolosok Orphanage.  We recently learned that Kolosok Orphanage will be closed in May 2014.  After 14 years of history with this orphanage, our hearts are extremely sad and saying goodbye will not be easy.  Please pray that the Lord will use us to bring encouragement, love and truth to our beloved children and staff.   

The dates of my trip are June 3 - 21, 2013. The cost of our trip will be $2600. I invite you to join me in this ministry opportunity through prayer and financial support.  While financial support is definitely necessary, your prayer support is essential during this time of preparation, while we are on our trip and when we return home. 

Please pray for:

• Our visas.  Is. 6:8, Ps. 96:3
• Abundant provision to share. 2Cor. 9:11
• The ASK Network Conferences. Heb. 10:24-25; Acts 17:11
• For unity in our American/British/Russian team.  Phil. 2:1-5, Col. 3:14
• Lives to be healed, restored and changed. Is. 61:1-3
• Protection and good health for us and our families.  Ps. 91, Ps. 121, 3John2

If the Lord leads you to partner with this ministry trip through a financial contribution, please make checks payable to ASK Network, which will receive all tax deductible contributions for this mission trip.  Please attach a sticky note to the check that states it is for the June Russia Mission Trip...do not write in the memo of your check.  Please send your check to Lucy Kowalski, 2335 Jep Wheeler Rd., Woodstock, GA  30188. All funds will be directed to ASK Network.

Thanking the Lord for each one of you and for connecting our hearts together in His love and for His purposes. “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.” Num. 6:24-26 

 

In His service,

Lucy
