Matt and Laura are friends of mine from medical school who are now missionaries in kazakhstan. Please pray for their fellow missionaries (see below):
“This past week one of our teammates, Yoon Bae, and his family in Kazakhstan were in a terrible car accident near the city of Karaganda in which he and his family live and work. Their four year old daughter Ha Rin was killed and he sustained several broken vertebrae in his lower back. They have flown back to Korea where they are from. His wife and infant son were not severely injured. Please pray for this family as the Spirit leads you. Also pray for our YWAM family there in Kazakhstan and the team that Yoon Bae leads there in Karaganda. The team moved up there just one year ago to pioneer a new ministry with university students.
Our teammates Nathan and Carole who where kicked out of Kazakhstan for Visa problems a year ago and were just trying to return this past week are in need of our prayers also. Nathan was stopped at the airport and after and ordeal was sent back out of the country on the plane he arrived on! Carole and their two boys were allowed to enter. He was deported with no explanation. Please pray for these dear friends. Carole needs to sell all their things including their house. With out Nathan in the country to sign certain documents this seems impossible so pray that God makes a way. They have served in Central Asia for many years! Also pray for Carole and the boys as they will be saying unexpected good byes and for Nathan as he is back in the U.S. and now will have to make big decisions regarding the future that does not include Kazakhstan. ”
