YWAM House in St. Petersburg Russia Burns Down

Yesterday saw the tragic loss of the house that has been a hub of ministry in St. Petersburg for the last number of years. The YWAM house has not only been a blessing to the YWAMers working their, but also to the kids, babushkas and other churches and organisations that they have worked with over the years.

No one was hurt in the fire, even though when the fire on the roof started a kids club ministry was being held inside. The fire department arrived 40 minutes after the call was put in, but by then it was too late to save the house.

God provided the house miraculously for the ministry that God had there. The Youth With A Mission team is confident that God will provide a new place for ministry. The team is very grateful that no one was hurt and that God still has more for them there.

They have three prayer requests during this time:

  1. Pray for strength and unity as a team
  2. Pray that God would speak and that they would have open hearts to hear
  3. Pray that something beautiful would be birthed out of the ashes
