PRAY FOR: NORTHWEST EUROPE

Harold & Kathleen PresleyIPHC - UK and NW Europe~ New Life for the Old World ~

Regional Ministry Coordinator for Northwest Europe

Thank you, for praying for our ministry in DK. We just returned from the Jutland of Denmark where we have a great relationship with the Open Door Church and Pastor Keld Pedersen. We taught, preached and helped in prayer ministry for a week. God always works miracles when we are there. Salvations, healings, deliverance, Praise God! One lady from Copenhagen returned this year for our annual gathering to testify that her teenage daughter had been healed from a crippling disease when we prayed for her last year. The teenager was meant to undergo surgery on her spine, but the doctors a miracle beat them to it.

Prayers for Norway… Alfred & Marie Green: please pray that the many people who have come to Jesus through the Green’s ministry will carry on faithfully, and a vibrant church can be formed having a Norwegian leader.

God-things are always happening among the ministries in Belgium. Pray for Mauricio & Lulu Salazar.
Pray for Holland… Matt & Femke Helland: Pray for more souls to be saved on all fronts.

With discretion, I do request your prayers for a good brother, here in our patch, who is an excellent worker & evangelist for the Lord. His marriage is on the rocks. Pray for full reconciliation please. His whole family needs it and we need them!

In the UK… the new church in Milton Keynes needs a pastor. In the meantime pray for the hosts: Jordan & Grace.

Pray for our summer intern from Australia, Jasmine Crilly. She’s one of the sharpest tacks in the carpet. We are blessed to have her. Pray for her as she helps set up children’s ministries in some of the newer congregations; and for children to come to Jesus as she actively reaches out; and for her finances as she has stepped out on faith with her dollars from Oz!

Pray for Martyn Greenway in Wales; for protection as he purposefully outreaches among people wrapped up in dark powers and demonic beliefs; several have seen the light and turned to Jesus. Pray for more and more.

Pray for 3 of our London Pastors need favour from the British Home-Office for leave to remain with no restrictions. Two in particular have had their papers on appeal up to 14 years! Pray for blessing and courage for them as they carry on with integrity and strength serving the Lord.

Pray for the Flood Victims!! Drought last summer in UK; floods this year! Is God trying to get our attention or what!? Pray for safety & protection, but also for hearts to be awakened to the Holy Sprit’s wooing.

… Arson…accidents…hardships. One of our pastor’s car was torched to ashes recently. Shortly afterward, my car launched a wheel and axle while zipping down a busy motorway! No one was hurt, but the car was a write-off. Todd & Steph’s son was in hospital for open-heart surgery at the time. Just this week our only property in London suffered an arson attempt. Little damage, but no doubt it was arson. So, pray that we will embrace the good things God evidently has in store, and that we will all come out from under the devil’s onslaught as we carry on like good soldiers of His love and power!

…Finally for our daughter, Bethany. She returns to Emmanuel College in GA, USA next week. Please agree with us in prayer for: Finances for the $17K tuition, safety and strength as she travels with the choir, and favour in her social life.

Pray for Eastern Europe Dave and Linda Fannin
Regional Ministry Coordinator for Eastern Europe/ Middle East

There is a young couple living in Hungary. Martin and Adrienne they are the youth leaders for our church here in Hungary. They are a dynamic and wonderful couple with a heart for the “Great Commission”. In recent years we have been praying that God would give a challenge to young men and women from Eastern Europe to realize their part in the mandate of Jesus Christ and His imperative to be a part of Christ mission on earth; to go out and take the gospel to all the earth. Please pray for this couple as they answer the call.

Thanks so much and God richly bless you,

David and Linda Fannin

Pray for Zimbabwe

Subject: Please pray for Zimbabwe

Take 5 min to read this. If it helped England it will help theZims. We need all the help we can get.This is from Margaret Kriel's Morning Mirror, please try and pass it onto as many people as you can, Many thanks Dear World, I am a 16 year old person living in Zimbabwe . I think the time has comefor a more directappeal, and so I am writing to you, the world.Maybe, just maybe, there might be someone out there who can help us... It's tough here now. The inflation rate is so high that if you don'tchange money within 6hours you could get half the amount of foreign currency that you wouldhave originallyreceived.We're starving now; people die around us. In the last year alone atleast ten people associated personally with my family have died despitethe fact that they were only middle-aged. Other people don't make it to middle age. They don't even make it past childhood.Our once-proud nation is on it's knees. We flee or die. This beautiful,bountiful once-rich land has become a living hell. We have dealt with ituntil now; we have made a plan. That was the Zimbabwean motto: "MAKE APLAN".But now we can't make a plan. We're too tired, too broken, too bankrupt.We can't afford life, and life does not cost much, not really. We cannot afford to eat, we cannot afford to drink, and we cannot afford to makemistakes, because if we do we die. We don't have the capital to supportourselves, and those few who do, have to deal with the horror of watching their friends and family fall into absolute poverty as theycannot afford to help them.We're waiting desperately for a great hand to pick us up out of the dirtbecause at the moment we are outnumbered by Fate herself, and so we close our eyes and pray. We have fought for too long, and have beenbrought to breaking point. We simply stand, heads down, and bear it. Ourspirit has gone; we are defeated. After a valiant struggle of over fifteen years, we have been broken.There is no will left, no spirit. Like a horse that has been beaten until it cannot fight anymore; we are the same, and, like that horse, west and dusty, scarred and alone, with dried blood on our sides and lash marks along our flanks. Our ribs too stand out; our hide is also dull. Our eyes are glazed, our throats are parched, and our knees struggle to support us so that we stand with splayed legs to bear the brunt of the next beating, too dejected even to whimper...This is my plea. The thought of picking ourselves up again is sickening;one can only take so many blows before oblivion is reached, and we are teetering on the rim of the bottomless void. One more push will be the end of us all...There must be someone out there who can do something. There must be someone out there who cares! We are a destroyed nation, and the world sits back and watches, pretending they cannot hear our cries. I appeal to you all...HELP US! A 16 YEAR OLD ZIMBABWEAN......DEAR FRIEND, IN WORLD WAR II WHILE HITLER WAS BRUTALLY TAKING OVER THE WORLD, THERE WAS AN ADVISOR TO CHURCHILL WHO ORGANISED A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO DROPPED WHAT THEY WERE DOING EVERY NIGHT AT A PRESCRIBED TIME FOR JUST ONEMINUTE TO COLLECTIVELY PRAY FOR THE SAFETY OF ENGLAND , ITS' PEOPLE AND PEACE. THINGS DRASTICALLY CHANGED AND WELL, THE REST IS HISTORY GOD IS THE ANSWER AND PRAYER IS THE ONLY WAY FOR ZIMBABWE !IN VIEW OF THE CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS IN ZIMBABWE WE ARE ORGANISING ADAILY ONE MINUTE PRAYER TIME AT 8 A.M. OR 1 P.M. OR 8.00 P.M. AT ANY ONE OF THESE TIMES, PLEASE STOP WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING AND SPEND THAT ONE MINUTE PRAYING FOR GOD TO INTERVENE IN THE AFFAIRS OF OUR COUNTRY. SOMEONE SAID IF CHRISTIANS REALLY UNDERSTOOD THE FULL EXTENT OF THE POWER WE HAVE AVAILABLE THROUGH PRAYER, WE MIGHT BE SPEECHLESS.OUR PRAYERS ARE THE MOST POWERFUL ASSET WE HAVE. TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IF YOU KNOW ANY OTHER CHRISTIAN BROTHER AND SISTER WHO WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS POWERFUL EXERCISE, PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG. THANK YOU, ZIMBABWE 24-hour Solidarity Vigil
