Thank you for praying!

It is my joy to report to you praying folks that Oleg is making real progress.

He is getting stronger. He sits up and can transfer himself to a wheelchair and can navigate that wheelchair quite well.

We are not aware of any planned surgeries as long as the reconstructed leg and foot continue to heal.

I’ll certainly keep you posted. With updates. Thanks for those who ask.

It is truly remarkable and amazing to see what God has done through the medical team.

A few months ago the decision was about trying to save the leg or not.

Our prayers have been answered in the affirmative by our Sovereign Lord.

Please continue to pray for physiotherapy and strengthening!

Please thank God for the medical team and for the progress.

Our God is truly amazing and worthy of glory.

Friends, Franklin Graham is in Minsk and will preach again tomorrow. I’ve heard the leader of Belarus will be in attendance.

Aleksandr Lukashenko, the dictator of this still quite communist country (think Soviet Union), is said to be planning to be in attendance Sunday night. This man has been a brutal persecutor of Christians.

Please pray that God the Holy Spirit would strike this man’s heart as Graham preaches.

Pray that Graham is guided by the Holy Spirit to preach the gospel of Grace alone.

May our sovereign Lord use this moment to do His will.

May God get all glory.

Thank you for praying.

Dear Praying friends,

Just now, the medical team completed Oleg’s latest surgery to graft skin onto his foot.

If the foot accepts to skin then all wounds are covered with skin.

But this is NOT the end of the road.

Recently there has emerged trouble with the knee.

And he has lost a lot of weight.

So please continue to pray for:

Encouragement;

That the foot accepts the skin graft;

That he gains weight and strength for physical therapy (already begun);

Answers to the knee problem.

Thank you for praying, the family expresses their gratitude for all of you in so many places.

“In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭ESV‬‬
