October has been a busy month for the Russia staff families. The much anticipated meeting on accreditation was repeatedly postponed and finally set to be held on October 27, 2005. Sadly, this was again postponed until the beginning of November.

The great news is the Lord is moving in Russia on behalf of families and these children. Four families have traveled to meet their little ones this month. The families are now home and gathering their documents in anticipation of trip 2. Two more families have received travel dates for November to make their first trip to Russia. Four families have traveled for Trip 2 and are still in country. One has had a successful court date while the other three families are praying for their court dates to be successful. Please pray for the judges and prosecutors hearts to be softened and for their 10 day waits to be waived.

Please continue to pray 1 Timothy 2:1-4: "First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth."
