Steve, I agree... We support a missionary family (with six kids) in Minsk, Belarus and things keep going from bad to worse. They were shopping and saw cheese for sale and thought they would come back the next day but there was none....for four (4) months. The true despair is something most of us can not comprehend. They are in dire need of spiritual and physical help. Big time. Maybe we should consider tossing in some of our change to help plant some more churches and provide some relief. You still doing that? But most of all pray. Hard. For them and us.
