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 Holy Spirit and on fire to spread the good news. Last month 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

Dear everyone:
We wish you a wonderful Christmas!
We are ending our Alpha course and two of the students have accepted the Lord..praise the Lord for this! There are other students that have not taken the step yet but have told us that they want to continue doing bible study with us. Please pray for them.
On Dec. 22nd we are doing a Christmas celebration. We are having the children from our outreach perform (so their parents might come and watch...remember many of them are Mslm) and we are praying for many people to come and hear the Christmas story and experience Gods love that day! Would you pray with us for this?
Thanks! the Hellands

Pray for Brussels, Belgium Mauricio and Lulu Salazar

We had wonderful times in these past months in our ministry here in Brussels. We have started a month of fasting and prayer for three things: +That the devil stops his attack upon the members. + That all the members grow spiritually. + That the church grows in number. It has been a good month, all the church got involved. I believe that due to this in the past weeks some people have been saved in Logos Church.
Prayer Request:
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
Mauricio & Lulu Salazar

Pray for Tallinn, Estonia Larry and Deborah Mininger
This is from Larry and Debbie in Estonia:
We are in the process of planting a new church in Estonia. This winter we are gathering our core group together. We have not a core group as yet. That is what I would appreciate prayer for. We know that God has spoken about this plant to us. The Lord willing, we would like to have our group together for the winter to be established, prepared and in unity of spirit and vision. Our current plan is to go public next summer. In addition, we are asking the Lord for a supernatural and prophetic event for our start up. We expect that this will become a mother church that will affect the nation of Estonia. That is why we are so earnest about the roots being holy so the fruit can also be!
Thanks for friendship that testifies that we are not alone in all these ventures.
Coworkers in Christ Jesus, Larry and Debbie Mininger

Pray for Macedonia Samuel and Raquel
Please Pray for:
1.- Continue praying for the direction of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We need a fresh touch from the Lord every day.
2.- Please pray because we need a car for the ministry and for the family.
3.- Pray for Raquel; she is given Spanish classes to 16 students and the majority of them are not believers. Pray as she shares Jesus with them and that they will have an open heart.
4.- Pray for our housing. We had to leave because we had a church meeting in our home and the owner told us we had to leave after only being there for one month.
5.- Pray for Luis his iron has been low and he is on medication.
Pray for his studies.
Serving together:
Samuel, Raquel y Luis
