Russian Prayer Needs

About twenty years ago I had the great privilege of meeting Bill and Kay Martin. They planned to use their retirement time and funds to minister overseas so they came to one of our Life Seminars at College Hill Presbyterian Church. They loved it and decided to go the full way and become lay Helpers and lay trainers.

Unfortunately, Bill's cancer returned and he passed away before they could do much overseas but Kay did a very courageous thing and spent her time in Ukraine ministering to widows. "Now that I am also a widow I can really understand how best to give them hope in heaven," Kay said.

During the several years Kay ministered in this Ukraine she was able to touch thousands of people in a wide variety of ministries. She did a lot to help addicts and reached out to some of the obscure tribes with the gospel.

One of Kay's main projects was to translate some of our materials into Russian and after that was completed she had the Recovery Bible translated. Here is the rub. We sent her translation to Galina in Moscow but the detailed notes that explain the 12 Steps and ways to break the cycle of addiction cannot be found on the files. To make matters worse the man who translated them in Ukraine has moved and we cannot find him.

Galina has set up dozens of Christian Recovery groups all around Russia and they need this information. We have also established a web site so Russian speaking people all over the world can find help in Christ.

We need your prayers that God will reveal that which is hidden.

Galina needs those notes and so do thousands of addicts in Russia.
