PRAYER FOCUS Praying for EUROPE AND THE MIDDLE EAST
Bob and Carol Cave Overseas Ministry Coordinator for Europe and the Middle East
Pray for them as they lead us
"Greetings to all on the European/Middle East team. That includes our National leaders as well. The longer we are walking in the Lord the more we realize the importance of being in communication in prayer. What a wonder to know the God of the Universe is available as I whisper is Name or have a "God thought". I am so grateful to Nancy for heading up our European WIN and have encouraged her to expand WIN into some of the places were you are laboring. Prayer is the power that makes our work possible and a prayer network ( WIN) is a wonderful tool to carry us through the good times and the difficult times
I encourage you to join with her as she gives you the tools to set up WIN in your field. She may be in touch with you over the next number of months to see how she can help you set up this network.
Blessings ............................Bob

Pray for Rob and Michelle Crigger: missionaries to the UK
Hello all,We are in England!!! We arrived yesterday after a fairly smooth flight from Roanoke to Chicago and on to Heathrow. The kids did great on the flights! Thank you to all who prayed for them.We are fighting colds but doing well today. We spent a little bit of time yesterday with our Overseas Ministry Coordinator, Bob Cave and his wife Carol who showed us our new home and helped get us settled. They had already spent a week cleaning the house and getting it ready as well as stocking the fridge with essentials. They also gave us their car to use for as long as we need. So we are going to have to see when we buy car seats if they will all fit in the car. It will at the very least be temporary transportation. Bless them!Today we went to town on our own to the nearby mall and outdoor market. What an experience! Very little English was spoken by most of the people so we felt like we were in a foreign country. Even the people who "looked" English were not speaking it. Absolutely amazing the diversity here. I think we saw most of Europe, the Middle East and Asia represented here and we were only 4 or 5 blocks from our house. On the way to the mall we noticed a sign that was asking for people to contact the police as their had been a fatal stabbing one night a few weeks ago. As we walked back I asked the Lord to help me to love diversity and to have His heart of compassion for those we passed today. We are looking forward to making new friends soon.We are focusing on getting our suitcases unpacked and furniture moved around a bit to fit our family over the next few weeks. Then we need to purchase some things for the house. Rob was invited yesterday to speak at one of the area churches yesterday by the pastor who helped haul all our suitcases from the airport. He is the same age as Rob and longing for friendship. They seemed to really hit it off!Well it seems hard to believe that we are actually here. Please keep us in your prayer as we all adjust and accept the changes. Abby cried today that she couldn't go to the zoo with her friend in Virginia and misses her "old" house. I'm sure once the reality of us being far away from family sinks in, we might deal with a little more tears.We love you all and can't thank you enough for your prayers, financial support and love,Rob, Michelle, Samuel, Abby and Joshua Crigger

Pray for Tallinn, Estonia Larry and Deborah Mininger
We need prayer about:
We just got our Estonian team together and made a 7 month plan for a church start up. We are asking the Lord to help us find 10 families who will serve in leadership. We are asking the Lord for a miracle by supplying these families by January. Then we will spend the following 4-5 months establishing relationship, identifying their call and gift mix. Each person will complete several courses from our School of Ministry. For the 7 months prior to going public, we will meet midweek and then on Sundays, take them out in teams to churches and give them opportunity to minister according to their call and gifts. Our primary goal is that these leaders would be operating in the Holy Ghost before we go public with the official start up. We already have a pastor and his wife established. We are asking for 3 elders, 2 deacons, 1 Administrator, one journalist (PR person), one computer person, musicians, singers and children's workers. Thank you for caring enough to simply pray the prayer of agreement!
God bless, Larry and Debbie from Estonia ………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Pray for Albania David and Valbona Pennoyer
Our prayer request would be that God would sustain us, give us strength and help this year to come to an end with all its problems really
fast. We have seen great things happen as well so we thank God that in spite of our weaknesses He is showing himself strong. Some of our prayer
requests are:
1. We are in desperate need of a teacher to come and teach our children starting in January/February.
2. Christopher will be starting grade 3 and Kimberley grade
3. They are using the ACE curriculum as a base but we are open to what the new teacher is able and willing to do.
We will provide lodging and some meals.
4. For some hard decisions we have to make with some in leadership who have made some choices contrary to the Word of God.
*For the spirit of unity and love to manifest itself among our staff and leadership.
* For a breakthrough of revival in the lives of all of us in our church.
5. For Valbona as she has started taking a university course part of which she does online.
6. For God to supply the resources necessary to continue the various programs that we have.
7. For the laws the government has passed making it difficult to hire people of spiritual quality
but having rather to hire based on their educational level.
8. Again for the laws that are pushing up and forcing us to pay salaries which is going to make it very difficult for us to keep the staff we have.
9. The spiral down of the US dollar combined with the rise in prices of all commodities is becoming a great hindrance.
As an example when I first came to Albania I could get for $1US - 187.9 lek. Now for $1US - 88 lek. We could buy a loaf of bread for 50 lek now it is 80 lek. A liter of oil from 115 to 190 and the list could go on and the prices are forecasted to continue to rise.
Pray that our income increases.
10. That the vision that God has given me, David, would come to full fruition despite the roadblocks and lack of resources.
Thank you for your prayers.
Pray for Macedonia Samuel and Raquel
Pray for Turkey: Ismail and Angela, Igor and Lena, Jerry and Terry
Greetings from Igor and Lena in Izmir:
We would like to thank you for your participation in our ministry, God really has been faithful in providing for us and our family throughout these years. In spite of all financial challenges we have seen how things have been working out so we could do what we needed to, even a foreign country.
We were not only provided for but blessed and cherished. His word and promises have been true for us always.
Right now we feel like writing such a note.
Last several months we have been challenged to travel more frequently. God has called us to visit more places and more gatherings, some for learning, some for teaching. It looks like the new time in our lives is coming when we will have more travel to be able to connect with larger Body of Christ so we can continue to take in as well as pass on. All these extra traveling has created more need for finances. We have been trying to safe and cut from our family needs but since we grow in age and numbers it is not always a possibility. So we see we just need extra springs and wells to continue to be obedient and do what He calls us for. It is bigger then what we can do but it is very simple for God we serve.
So we decided to give out a call to see if He puts on your hearts to join us in this new stage in life and ministry so we can go where He calls us and do what He wants us. Right now we have about 1000$ of debt and about 1000$ of expenses in a near few months that we have no idea how will be provided for. Also we can see that we would need our monthly traveling budget increase about with 300$ a month.
These are not small numbers and we don’t want to be overwhelmed and we don’t want you also to feel overwhelmed. We present it before the Lord and His Body trusting that it will come in His timing and way.
Love you and bless you. We serve wonderful God.
