PRAYING FOR: EUROPE AND THE MIDDLE EAST
Bob and Carol Cave Overseas Ministry Coordinator for Europe and the Middle East
I would like to report and give praise as we recently held a Celebration meeting and Service with our newest family members, The Free Christian Church of Hungary. In a celebration service on October 5 we (IPHC) were formally "married" to the Free Christian Fellowship group of 18 Churches. Our WMM Director Dr. Doug Beacham officiated and we even had a celebration cake cutting after the service. It was a great time for all of us.
We had some witnesses that joined us: Lin Berry and Nicolas Nogales from Spain, Harold Presley, RMC from Great Britian, Peter Kressin from Germany, Dave and Linda Fannin RMC's from Hungary, Valery Reshetinsky and Sergey Perkhalskiy from Ukraine, Teo and Sanda Bulzan from Romania, Ben and Marianne Janssen missionaries to Romania, Bob and Carol Cave OMCs Europe & the Middle East and of course the Executive Board of the Free Christian Church headed up by President Laszlo Mezes. We also had some guests, Marc and Annemarie Lebrun from Paris France who were in Hungary on another engagement.
In conjunction with this event Dr. Beacham and I were able to touch base with a few of our great missionaries in Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin, Budapest, Kiev and Israel.
A short praise how God is moving in Northern Galilee where pastor has pioneered a new church in the last 1 1/2 years. Most of the 140 plus are new coverts, filled with the HS and on fire to spread the good news. On a Thursday night 2 weeks ago Dr. Beacham proclaimed the gospel in an outdoor meeting to 100 plus persons in pastor Hani Shehadeh's front court yard of his home.
One other comment, please continue to remember our church family in Tashkent Uzbekistan which has been raided by the police and closed for the last 6 for months. The church meets in cells for the present time.
Praise The Lord...................Bob & Carol

Pray for Brussels, Belgium Mauricio and Lulu Salazar www.pastormau.com
God bless you:
Well we over here in Brussels as all WMM missionaries are in need of a lot of prayer. We have been struggling to establish a church for two years and we have together with the family about 15 people coming for several nations including Belgians, but it is not growing as I expected it to. We are winning maybe one person for Jesus every two or three months.
Please pray that the fruit will be noticeable and that the new believers bring their friends over to the church so they can hear the gospel.
Please pray for encouragement for the members that are going thru different tests and trials.
Please help us in spiritual warfare against the attack of the devil against several members including me and my family.
Please pray for the Bible School, some students are their outside church problems in to the context of the school and I will have to deal with it.
Please pray for strength and spiritual anointing upon Lulu and I as well as health. A few little things are affecting us physically, nothing serious, but still annoying.
Thanks for your prayers and God bless you all

Subject: Notice of Death in Family, Larry & Deborah Mininger
Dear Friends,It is October 20th here in Estonia and we were just notified that Larry’s mother, Inez Mininger, just passed away. It happened about 07:45 our time and approximately 21:45 California time. The cause of death not officially determined but is most likely a stroke.Larry and I have made travel arrangements to leave for the states Monday morning for the funeral on Friday. We thank you for your prayers! God’s mercies were renewed to us this morning and grace is multiplied.Debbie

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.
