Prayer Calendar (Archival Information) for Belarus Team

India Team
Evelyn Biles and Gene Cornett have beenin northern India, leading training sessions for Christian leaders. There were 80 pastors there from Bhutan (map).

This update came on February 25:

Gene did make it to India [in spite of airline delays]. He missed the first day of the conference, but they had 40 pastors from Bhutan signed up for the conference and 80 showed up and they are still expecting more – so Gene is excited about that! Please pray for strength and safety for him – he is exhausted and malaria is a risk for him because of the timing of his shots.

Prior to the trip, Gene requested prayer regarding the culture stress of being in a very third-world country, and sharing talks with a Malaysian pastor who will be translating for him and being trained by him. He also requested prayer that he would effectively connect with the audience. Pray also for Kat and the family, and for safety for all.

Please also see the updates on Evelyn Biles, on her own page here.

East Asia Trip

Kristen Antes went to eastern Asia with Light Ministries (associated with Liberty University) March. Specific reports on her time there are impossible to provide, because she was working in a limited-access country. There were at least two persons who decided to follow Christ, and many more were influenced for the faith.
