Mission Monday with the Havertapes
We pray that each one of you had a great week! All the medical issues have come to a close for now and every one is basically healthy, so praise the Lord!
As so many of you have been praying for our family we also have been praying and asking the Lord to give us wisdom in our decision-making.
The doctors have given us the go ahead to leave the country for Kamillia and we believe that that is a good move for us.
Here is what the next season looks like for the Havertape family:
The kids and I will be flying back to Russia on May 10th and praise the Lord for his provision. In August we will have been in Russia for eight years. Our visas have another 16 months before expiring and we are asking the Lord if he would have us renew them again. Please pray with us! During this next season there will be students graduating from the bible college and we are so excited to have had the opportunity to serve the Lord in this way. If the Lord leads us not to renew our visas that would mean that we will have to hand the bible college over to a Russian.
Roman Usmonov has agreed to take on the role of the director of the bible college and Jason will be spending the next several months raising him up.
So we ask that you will continue to pray for us and support us with your encouragement and financial gifts as we continue God’s work and watch the Russian nationals rise up and take over more of each ministry there. There is very few Americans left in Russia. Most of the ministries there are now run by Nationals, Praise the LORD!! So this will be one more ministry that will be given over to them, this is always so exciting!
Prayer needs:
1.) Please pray for the kids and I, as we are packing and getting ready to go.
2.) Please pray for the next season of goodbyes and wrapping up and the emotions that are involved in that.
3.) Please pray for the new director and his wife that the Lord will bless them and provide for their every need!
Praises:
1.) Praise God that in eight days we will leave to be reunited with Jason.
2.) Praise God that we were blessed with a great deal on a storage unit to store all the wonderful things that people blessed us with while we were in America, so that our reentry to the USA will be easier in 6 months to a year.
3.) Praise God for our family. They have said many goodbyes to us, and yet they remain so supportive!
