MISSIONARIES JANE HYATT AND BARBARA KLAIBER STARTED THE ARK, A PLACE KIEV’S STREET KIDS CAN CALL THEIR OWN.

In the Ukrainian city of Kiev, one out of every 20 residents is a homeless child. During the summer, many of these 129,000 children sleep at night under bridges or on the floors of large public restrooms scattered throughout the park overlooking the Dnipro River.

Others break into abandoned buildings, closed markets and darkened basements to scavenge for food and find a place to rest. During the day, these youngsters fill the streets, begging for more food, picking pockets and searching for discarded warm clothing in preparation for winter.

SEVERAL YEARS AGO BEVERLY PEGUES BEGAN PRAYING FOR THE AREA KNOWN AS THE 10/40 WINDOW. NOW HER BURDEN HAS BECOME A LIFELONG MISSION.

When God called her to be an intercessor, Beverly Pegues’ initial reaction was, “Lord, what is an intercessor?” Little did she know that searching for the answer to this question would lead her, in 1993, to begin overseeing a worldwide network of more than 40 million prayer partners.

Beverly, who coordinates Window International Network, admits: “Not knowing the specific meaning of my calling, I got involved with different prayer groups and began praying with people wherever I could find the opportunity so that I could learn more about being an intercessor. Soon I started praying about everything that I felt wasn’t in the will of God.”
