Grace upon Grace in Kyrgyzstan

Can you believe it’s already June? It’s hard to believe we are already halfway through the year!
We are so excited to have officially welcomed Mike and Rachelle Scott and their family here to Kyrgyzstan! It has truly been a joy to reconnect with them and help them transition to life here in Bishkek. We are eager to see how the Lord will use their unique giftings to minister to the Kyrgyz people.
Please pray for their family during this season of adjustment to cross-cultural life and as they begin language learning.

The kids have been having a blast together!
We are also so thankful to have Brad’s parents back in Kyrgyzstan for the summer. Our team is eager to soak up their wisdom and encouragement over these next few months before they officially transition back to the U.S. Please pray that this would be a fruitful and encouraging season for us all!
It has also been an especially busy season for Integra as farmers are eager to get seeds into the ground and begin growing their crops. The Lord has been so faithful to provide many new relationships with farmers throughout the surrounding regions of Kyrgyzstan, and we are grateful for the opportunities these connections bring.
In the midst of the busy season, we were able to take a break and enjoy quality time together as an Integra team at our home while celebrating one of the local Kyrgyz holidays. We shared traditional Kyrgyz cuisine, including plov and shashlik, and were thankful for the sweet fellowship together.
Recently, we asked for prayer for our farm manager, David, who had been exposed to toxic gas during fertilizer production. We are so grateful to share that, by God’s grace, he is healthy and well with no lasting effects from the exposure. We have also been able to address and fix the ventilation issues at the production site.
We would now like to ask you for prayer for David's wife, Aichurok. After the loss of their first son shortly after birth, the Lord graciously blessed David and Aichurok with their beautiful and healthy four-year-old daughter, Sheera. Since then, however, they have walked through multiple miscarriages and seasons of infertility. We are grateful to share that the Lord has answered many prayers, and they are now expecting again! As you can imagine, they are filled with both great joy and understandable nervousness as they walk through this pregnancy after so much loss.

Despite the grief and hardship they have experienced, we continue to be deeply encouraged by their dependence on the Lord and steadfast faith in Him. Would you please join us in praying that the Lord would protect this baby and grant Aichurok a healthy pregnancy and delivery?
Thank you all so much for your continued prayers, encouragement, and partnership in the work the Lord is doing here in Kyrgyzstan. We are truly grateful for each of you and for your commitment to lifting up this ministry in prayer.
