On Saturday we shared the gospel and one person believed. Now I considering and aiming for bridges with local leaders to offer them this course. Courses will be in autumn since it is not convenient in the summer. For now that is all. I can not frequent check mail now as the Internet very much poor. When I have high-speed I will every day.

Items for Prayer

Last Sunday 3 men attended our worship service. Turned out they were from the prosecutor's office and have begun an investigation of Alpha-Omega church. Please pray for a fair investigation.
This Sunday, 28-June, will be Alpha-Omega church's 7th birthday. Pray for our time of celebration and baptism. Pray that there would be encouragement and renewal for all.
Praise God I (Noyan) was able to get a car. Now every time I taxi anyone they hear the gospel. Just yesterday one 60 year old woman prayed to receive Christ and has asked to be discipled.
This week we are having a training seminar. Please pray for open hearts, open minds, and our ability to teach.
Pray for the upcoming visit to Almaty by East-West leadership - John Maisel, Den Roossien and Joe Wall. Pray for their safe travels, for the effectiveness of purpose and for encouragement for all.
Pray for strength and faith of the believers in Karakalpakistan where they are facing increased persecution.
Pray for a team of 2 college age gals coming to serve this summer in Kazakhstan. Pray for their openness and flexibility, their spiritual growth and humility. Pray that the nationals that need to be working with them will rally to the call and help wholeheartedly.
Pray for Gulhan to be able to purchase a home. She would also like to remarry. Pray for her large extended family to come to Christ (about half are Christians already).
Pray for Nurgul, Gulhan’s daughter, and others like her – who have accepted Christ but are not walking with Christ, and easily falls away when confronted by non-believing family members.
Pray for members of Birlik church in Almaty, Kazakhstan, as they begin to shift worship into cell groups (from a traditional church format). This Sunday will be their first time to meet in small groups for worship. Pray for a sense of belonging and understanding, and that people would not just find another venue for worship.
Pray for the 3 women who accepted Christ in the village of Ali, outside of Almaty, Kazakhstan. Pray they will grow in Christ and share their faith with others.
Pray for a conference this weekend for pastors from a closed country, who are here for encouragement and rest. They live under such constant stress that they cannot relax and it is affecting their health. Pray for encouragement and the strength to go on.
Pray for Almas and Shingis as they travel into Uzbekistan to strengthen and encourage believers there.
Pray for Illiya, Ivan’s brother, who nkows all the answers but says he doesn’t believe. Yet recently he has been taking his Bible to work to read during breaks, and even a praise book – and has been teaching the others at work the praise songs and they are singing them together as they work. That is amazing. But Illiya needs salvation in Christ.
Pray for Oleg’s health, as he is not having the strength and energy he needs.
