Update on Russian Missionary Family

On Christmas Eve, Scott and I asked for prayer for the Kunakaev family of Siberia, Russia. Ravil and Julia are native Russians serving a Siberian mission church and are supported by my sister's church in Springfield. Julia is in the sixth month of her second pregnancy and they discovered that she has the RH factor problem so that baby's life is at risk. She was in a hospital in one city being treated, they are trying to get her to the 30th week for a C-section. While she was in the hospital their 2 year old daughter, Margaretha, became ill with an unidentified illness. She was taken to a different hospital. She went into kidney failure and a coma and was on life support. God answered our prayers. On Christmas Day, my sister called to tell me that Margaretha came out of the coma and was taken off life support. Her mother was also home from the hospital. Please continue to pray for this family. The last I heard the doctors still didn't know what caused her illness. They think it is some kind of toxin. Also pray for Julia and their unborn child. Also pray for Ravil's father who is a Muslim. Pray that this miracle opens doors to share the Gospel and glorify God the Great Physician.
