PRAYING FOR: EUROPE AND THE MIDDLE EAST

Bob and Carol Cave Overseas Ministry Coordinator for Europe and the Middle East

Greetings to you. First of all I would like to give you a praise report that God always answers our prayers. Sometimes it may be different or slower than we'd expect. A little over a month ago, while I was in Ashburham, England at the pastors retreat, and Carol was in Canada she was taken to the hospital by ambulance for emergency surgery for a twisted/obstructed bowel. God has now rapidly healed this process and she accompanied me on March 10th to North Carolina to do the Global Outreach meals. ( of course I carried the suitcases......)
We are grateful to the Lord and we are so appreciative of the wonderful prayer Network that you have put together. It is the backbone of a strong bond we can have as a missions family to lift each other up in prayer.

Let's pray for each other as we travel to the Vancouver Conference and this will be a great enriching of our lives as we hear what God is doing around the world. Pray for each others ministries that our relationship with our Lord will always remain the main focus.

Blessings from Bob & Carol

Rev Willie & Tersia Downing
Kent, England
We are settling in and Praise the Lord. We're now only waiting for our National Insurance numbers which will officially allow us to work. Willie has had a number of invitations to minister & we hope to be taking them up shortly. We had interviews for work: assisting adults with learning difficulties. Thank you for prayer regarding employment. Things are in the process of coming together & we thank the Lord for answering prayer. We are sharing with a group of Bible School students on missions.
The Lord knows what we can handle & we're trusting Him to continue to direct our steps.
Blessings,

We both pastor the Pentecostal Holiness Church in Southmead, Bristol, England. Our church was built around 1960 and is on an inner city council estate. We would value prayer for various outreach projects we are involved in this year. The field is hard going and the labourers get weary, but by God's grace we will see souls saved & lives changed. Yours in His service, Dave & Kathy...........................................

Pray for Amsterdam Matt and Femke Helland, http://www.hellands.org

Dear friends and prayer partners we thank you so much for keeping us in your prayers.
· We are seeing a steady group of non churched people (most are not Christians) who come to our services every month. Pray that they will find our message practical for their life. Praise the Lord! For our Easter service we had first time guests included Muslims, atheists and other people who have never been to a church!
· We ask for breakthrough in the lives of people we minister to.
One of the people who has become a believer has fallen back in drug use, the last couple of weeks. Pray for this person specifically. We are around a lot of people who are dealing with fear, depression, suicidal thoughts, no hope. Please pray that we would see people set free from this!
· The men that are part of the Alpha course are so close to accepting the Lord, but are still holding off because they are not ready to give up the life they live (drugs, crime). They think that first there life needs to be 'perfect' before they can accept the Lord. Pray for a miraculous touch of God on their lives!
· We ask for a breakthrough in the situation with our house. Please pray we would get the permits that we need and make any necessary repairs before we leave to the States (early May).
· We will be in the states so pray that our team for the Church plant; for wisdom, unity, strength, vision as we are gone.
Blessings, Matt & Femke, Judah and Hannah

Pray for Brussels, Belgium , Mauricio and Lulu Salazar: www.pastormau.com

This month we are in need of prayer for different things:

1. Please pray for the Logos Church it finally stabilized and God has brought to us two wonderful families from Rwanda and from Togo. One of the men (Marius) was born again in the PH work in Togo and his mom is the women's ministries director. We are having constant visitors basically all new and few Christians and we pray that this will bring the church to the moment of solidification. We are in the need of appointing leaders and close to appointing our first deaconess.

2. Please pray for the Logos Bible School now recognized by IPHC. We are having good moments in this school and we are training at the moment 30 people from 15 countries. We have asked two graduate students to teach a class and we pray that wisdom and knowledge may flow through them. We are also beginning in September with the third year.

3. Please pray for the IPHC of Belgium. We have currently 3 ministers but several people are interested. That we may become a church with a clear representation of the Belgian population.

4. Please pray for my health I have had back problems for many years and I was already OK after many therapy sessions and two days ago I slipped in the staircase and fell straight on my bottom and I have pain again. The doctors have prescribed therapy sessions with the specialist but pain remains.
Thanks and God bless you, Mauricio, Lourdes, Betsabé and Obed

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

I was talking with David Fannin by IM the other day and He told me what had happened. He is in Hungry with a team working on the building. It was the first day and one of the men fell through the ceiling 30 feet to the floor. He broke both his arm and leg in several places. He was taken to the hospital where he had surgery. He is doing ok but what a way to begin on the first day! They were putting in a floor over the sanctuary of the church. He stepped through the floor joist and fell through. His wife is flying in so please remember them in your prayers.

Please pray for his quick recovery.
Pray for the other members of the team that they will be kept safe.
Pray that they will be able to finish the job and not let the enemy delay the work of the Lord!
