Regional Updates & Prayer Requests
February Update / Praise Report: We were able to get a Ukrainian mom and baby into their own apartment! This is a big deal! Finally, we’ve been able to help get the Ukrainians into apartments, with a lease in their name, instead of ours! Having "Serve the City" as an official organization here allows us to support and vouch for the families better! So, we got her settled into her own apartment, furnished it, and that was a big deal!
Prayer Requests:
We have our second kids camp coming up the last full week of February! We did it last year and it was great, so looking forward to this years! Our strategy this year, however, is to run it under Serve the City, with teen volunteers from Kylie’s school.

- Pray for a sec Es’s full camp, for workers, and for good (discipleship) relationships with the teens who help!
- Pray for wisdom and discernment as we assist other Ukrainian families in the coming months…free housing is drying up and we have to look at paid options.
- Pray for favor with finances (personal and ministry), because prices are sky rocketing and we are at our limit.
