How are you doing? This may not come at the right time. I understand that and I am fully aware that I am trying to raise funds for our apartment while so many people nearby are losing their homes and their lives. This reality is not lost on me.
Sasha and I have been married for close to 10 years, and the Lord has blessed us tremendously during this time. We have lived rent free in two very nice apartments during that belong to Sasha’s parents. These places were not extremely large, but the Lord has met our needs in lavish ways. We were able to have people over, to host Bible studies, to share Christ’s love and to encourage our church leaders in these apartments. We saw God give us two wonderful boys in these places.
We very much appreciate the generosity of Alexandra’s parents during these years. But we feel the time has come for us to look for a place of our own. You may remember that my grandmother passed away back in February. I have inherited her apartment. We have also saved up some money. However, we are still short approximately $70,000. This is an extremely challenging time for just about anyone around the world. We are exceptionally aware of that. We are very grateful for your prayers and incredibly generous support of so many people. Thus, we have no expectations from anyone, but we trust the Lord will provide as He has for us all these years.
However if the Lord leads you, would you please consider maybe making an extra special gift that would go towards this important purchase for our family.
We are looking for:
- 1 partner to give $10,000;
- 5 partners to give $5,000;
- 10 partners to give $1,000;
- 50 partners to give $500;
- 100 partners to join us in praying for this purchase. We do not take your prayers lightly. Not only do they move mountains but they ensure that our hearts stay closely connected to God. If He blesses us with a new place, our hearts will not be lost in materialism. If He chooses not to provide a new apartment, our hearts will not grow resentful. We do need your prayers.
From Russia with Christ’s love,
Constantin on behalf of me and Alexandra Lysakov
