Update from Ariel & Shayla:

Dear Friends,

The Lord is doing marvelous things here! Although there have been so many stories of opportunities to share the Gospel and see Yeshua heal the sick in the past few weeks, here's just one that we especially would appreciate your prayers for:

Natali, who is part of our congregation and the Evangelism Team we've been leading, has been growing a lot in boldness and sharing her faith effectively with her family and others. Her grandparents and mother had heard and become softened to the message of the Gospel over time through her persistent prayers and sharing.

Then recently she mentioned how Yeshua has been healing many sick people over the past few months, and they asked if we could pray for them too. A few days ago Ariel and Natali went to their house and shared the Gospel with her grandparents and mother. At first they still had some reservations, but did still want prayer for healing.

The grandfather has had severe pain in his knees, hip, and chest, but when we prayed in Yeshua's name, his pain went down significantly in every one of those areas, and he was even able to lift up his legs on his own - something he couldn't do before. When we prayed for her mom, she was healed in her back, neck, and head. There was great joy and amazement in their home and we were all saying, "Thank you, Yeshua!" Afterwards, her grandmother and mother decided to pray to receive Yeshua. Praise God! And her grandfather was very open but said he needed to think about it more, and said that he would gladly read the New Testament every week with Natali.
We clearly explained the whole Gospel and strongly emphasized the need for repentance and also the need to truly commit to living for God from now on, and they prayed with that understanding.

We've seen several instances lately where people have made a profession of faith and then there's been an intense spiritual battle over them over the next few weeks. Please join with us in praying that Katya (Natali's mom), Shulamit (her grandmother), and Pavel (her grandfather) will all fully come to Yeshua, be rooted and grounded in God's Word, start fellowshipping regularly with believers, and growing in their faith, and that no weapon formed against them would prosper! And let's pray for anointing for Natali and anyone else who will be involved in follow-up.
