Vehicle Replacement
My vehicle is 18 years old, and it has become unreliable. It broke on the road with several mission teams. It has finally come when repairing my car is no longer financially justifiable, and I need to replace it. Please pray for provision.
Mission Eurasia
Please pray for the many refugees, displaced, and suffering Ukraine children and families can attend Mission Eurasia Summer of Hope Bible camps in Ukraine, Poland, and Moldova.
By now, I’m sure you have heard the devastating news that on Tuesday, June 6, the hydroelectric dam in Nova Kakhovka, near Kherson, Ukraine, was destroyed, flooding more than 100 towns and villages in southern Ukraine and forcing tens of thousands of war-weary Ukrainians to flee their flooded homes and farms to safer locations.
Ukrainian officials believe that this catastrophe could leave hundreds of thousands of people without drinking water and could destroy large regions of rich agricultural land, impacting the harvest of grain and the food supply overall.
As the people in southern Ukraine face this new existential crisis, Mission Eurasia’s teams are rushing help to provide drinking water—the greatest immediate need—along with food, and copies of Scripture to this area. Our iCare teams are bringing truckloads filled with five-liter bottles of water, loaves of bread from our Bread of Life bakeries we established in the region, and copies of Scripture to provide comfort and hope for the devastated Ukrainian people affected by this flood.
Please pray for those affected by this crisis, and please consider a gift to help provide life-saving assistance for those who are now part of a new wave of displaced people in Ukraine.

• New active younger members. Our local group is dying due to age of members and only have two active members and 36 inactive members.

Join us in praying specifically for Jessica Miller this month. Jessica is one of our Coordinators of Patient Services, and she does a beautiful job caring for patients by scheduling appointments and helping them feel at home while they wait to be seen by our providers. She joined our staff 1 year ago, and we are so thankful to have her at HOPE
