Quarantine Prayer Request

Just recently there has been a widespread outbreak of the swine-flu influenza in Western Ukraine where we are on outreach. The implications of this are fairly serious. At the moment Ukraine has been internationally quarantined which essentially means that no-one is permitted to enter or leave the country without special government permission. Currently all school or unnecessary public meetings have been cancelled for at least the next three weeks and the president of Ukraine has been encouraging citizens to avoid public places and transportation as much as possible (including grocery stores, churches, buses, trains etc.) This has some possible negative connotations for our team. Firstly there is the possibility that the government may hinder our travel to eastern Ukraine where the rest of our teaching engagements are scheduled to take place. Also because of the risk of public gatherings, churchgoers may be more reluctant to attend seminars et cetera. So we could use your prayers that God would first of all contain and stop the spread of the flu, and secondly permit us to continue teaching to as many people as possible. Thanks again,

Joshua
