Hughes News #34

Dear Friends,

After a quick trip to the States for Viola’s sister’s wedding, we are back in Moldova. We are thankful for the Lord’s provision which allowed us to be there for the special day. It is a blessing to see Will and Alanna’s love for the Lord and their willingness to serve Him.

While in the States we were able to minister in two of our supporting churches. It is always a blessing to have opportunities to minister the Word of God! In a few weeks, I will be able to speak to the young people at our church. It is my goal to be able to give the ten minute message in Russian- I would certainly appreciate your prayers as I prepare!

Although it was very busy, our trip was profitable in ways we did not anticipate. Being away from Russian study for a few days was refreshing and reenergizing. I feel that we have been able to refocus on the needs here and what we must do to meet those needs. Through two congregations and several individuals the Lord also provided additional funds that we were not expecting.

As we mentioned in our last letter, our nephew John Hughes will be with us for the next two months. Please pray that the Lord would use this time in his life as he seeks the Lord’s direction for the future. 

In His service,
Jacob and Viola Hughes
“Tie your shoes and pray for the Hughes”

For Prayer:
1. Our nephew’s two-month stay
2. Us as we resume Russian study
3. A family to work with us 

For Praise:
1. We were able to visit the States for Viola’s sister’s wedding.
2. The Lord kept us safe through the many miles of travel.
3. We received some unexpected funds during our trip.
