Belarus

I am writing to ask you to support us in your prayers as on Saturday our church van got into accident while taking women to women conference in Minsk. The weather was very bad, was snowing and was very slippy. ON the way back from conference guy from church was driving within Minsk heading to ring road as suddenly one young guy jumped from the pavement and wanted to get across the road.

Driver wanted to stop car, but it was too slippy and he crushed that young man. It was not on the pedestrian way, but not too far from it. The kick was strong, front glass had broken; front part of van was curved. Young man was taken to hospital, now he feels ok, nothing is broken, but he got very strong hit into his head. It looks like he is ok, but we pray that nothing serious will happen to him.

Women were had to leave car and look for way to get to Berezino during the night. Praise God they found a car and I met them in midnight in Berezino. Driver was taken to police in shock, filled all the papers and was dismissed after midnight and came to Berezino in 3 o'clock in the morning.

Situation is difficult and we felt heavy because of that. But then God showed me that everything could be much worse, guy could be killed and so on. So we praised God and had a powerful service on Sunday with one repentance. But situation is still need to be solved, so I would like to ask to pray for the following things:
For the guy in hospital to be completely healed and restored and do not have any consequences.
For the driver (his name is Sergey) and his mother as they both been shocked so much.
For penalty from police not to be too big, and for his driver license not to be taken from him...
for money to restore van as we need it very much (it will be at least 500$)
And for God's grace in this entire situation...
Thanks for your prayers. Enemy is attacking us from different sides, but God is our shield and protection.
May God bless you very much.

With love and blessing
