Pray for their safety, language abilities, and for God-ordained encounters with national believers and non-believers alike. Pray that their work would be productive. Pray for their families as they continue their daily routines. Pray that God would continue to be glorified through the Engage Russia project.

Pray also this week for Tim Wicker and his family as they continue to re-establish themselves in America. Pray specifically this week for Tim as he attends job interviews.
Tour of Siberian Cities
The Engage Russia team will be “in the field” from May 14-22 working on features about three Siberian cities. Krasnoyarsk, Omk and Chelyabinsk will be the focus of this set of features. As usual, our goal will be to investigate how Stateside churches can partner with national believers in these areas to form ministry/missions partnerships.
During the week we will also make stops in Novosibirsk to visit missionary colleagues. And, we will spend time in Izhevsk and Cheboksary to visit with national believers in these two key cities were partnerships are beginning to blossom.

Plans for our next Engage Russia production trip are underway. In May, Marc will be joined by Pastor Alan Floyd of First Baptist Church of Middleburg, Florida on a week-long tour of three different Siberian cities. More details on those trips will be released soon.
Pray today for the Engage Russia team as we continue to develop a network of believers who then connect with each other, churches, field missionaries and national believers to bring the Gospel to the unengaged people groups of Russia.
Pray for Marc and for his family this week as he travels back from the States. A winter storm on the East Coast has delayed and cancelled flights from Baltimore and may cause Marc’s return to be delayed by up to two days.
This week, please pray about how your association, church, Sunday School class, or others can become involved in reaching the unengaaged of Russia. Pray that God would reveal to you creative ways for you to partner with field missionaries and/or Russian believers.
Pray for Marc today as he travels to America to attend a conference and speak with several churches. Pray for his safety as he flies from Moscow to Baltimore. Pray that this will be both a restful and energizing time as he spends time with family, meets with media colleagues, and has the opportunity to share with others about what God is doing through the Engage Russia project. Marc will return to Moscow on March 3.
Pray today for the Wicker family. Pray that God would guide and protect them. Pray that he would reveal His will for each of them. Pray for Sarah & Caleb as they are separated from the rest of the family while attending school in America. Pray for Rachel and Tessa as they attend Hinkson Christian Academy in Moscow.
The Engage Russia Team will be busy, but not traveling as a team over the next few weeks.
Marc will be traveling to the States for an IMB media conference and then to Rome, Italy to assist with a media project there. Following that we will be working to acquire more footage of the Khanti people group and will be leading a volunteer team to work with the Chuvash in Late March.
