Hughes News #92

"Tie your shoes and pray for the Hughes"
Dear Friends, 
 
We send you this letter from the Hughes farm in Illinois.  Since our last prayer letter we have reported to eleven more supporting churches and have visited two new churches.  We have also ministered in four school chapels.  The Lord has given us travel mercies and has encouraged us through times of fellowship with His people.  We love to inform others about  Moldova and it means so much when believers show interest in our lives and ministry.
 
The times between services have been filled with a number of things: office work, time with friends and family (including our nephew and niece’s music festival!), a sweetheart banquet, historical sites, research into family history and preparations for our return.  We have concluded the majority of our travels and have just three more meetings scheduled.

As you probably would guess, Ukraine has captivated our attention the last several days.  None of the fighting has yet crossed the border into Moldova, but thousands of refugees have.  Moldovans have done much to provide food and lodging for these displaced souls.  If the conflict is not resolved before our return (our prayer), we hope to get involved in ministering to the refugees.  If you are interested in helping, please contact me and I will forward you more information.  Currently our departure date is still set for the middle of March, but some changes will need to be made to our flight itinerary.  Would you please pray as we sort out these questions and head back to the field?
 
In His service, 
Jacob and Viola Hughes
