The Black Soil Region of Russia is being devastated by massive wildfires even as I write to you today. Fueled by record high temperatures and a drought that has brought the region's farmers to their knees, the fires first swept through the world-renowned agricultural fields and forests of the Black Soil Region and rapidly found their way to the outskirts of local towns and villages.
We have received word from Voronezh, the key city in our Black Soil ministry, that the fires have now reached the outer perimeter of the city, bringing destruction to the homes and churches of some of the students that you pray for and support. We will not know the full extent of the devastation until our trip to the region on September 15-25.
Please pray for the people of the Black Soil Region...pray for the students as they carry on their planned camps and evangelistic campaigns in the midst of fighting fires and protecting their families and property. Thank you again for your prayers and support....Pray that the Gospel of Jesus Christ may one day soon spread like a wildfire throughout the region bringing light and hope to thousands of people who are living in darkness and despair.
