Please Pray with Us

While we were on the train back to Kiev, our facilitator called and said that he met with the judge and the news was not good. The judge said she was very busy and could not meet with us until the end of JANUARY. Things begin to wind down on the 20th for the holidays here. He tried to explain to her our circumstances and she agreed to December 26. The problem with this is that our tickets to leave are for the 24th. I have no idea how we might navigate this. Since the tickets were purchased with Skymiles and it is the Holidays, it is nearly impossible to get them changed. I asked that we go back to the judge once more to request earlier.

Jesus' parable in Luke 18 comes to mind, where a lady seeking justice comes to the judge in the middle of the night. He told her time after time to go away, but she was persistent. He finally gave her justice after he grew tired of being bothered. Please pray that our judges' heart will be changed. It is somewhat discouraging to be here for 4 weeks and still not have court. Kiev is SO slow.

Thanks,
Ande

Underwood family, We will pray with you that the court date can be moved to an earlier date. You will get Chris home. Your visit with Dasha sounded great. All the kids say hello. We miss you. We pray for you everyday. Love, The Werk family

Ya'll, we are praying with you! We are asking God to make a way even now and that the Judge will grant you the desire of your heart which God placed there for HIS purposes!
Hang in there!!!
