Pray for Eastern Europe: Pray for David & Linda Fannin(RMC)

We are happy that our newest missionary staff has arrived on the field. We want to welcome Ronnie and Margaret Turner to Eastern Europe. Please continue to pray for them as they settle into their new place of service. We praise the Lord for the fact that their little granddaughter is healed and doing well at home.

The English speaking bible study is finally in full operation. Our subject at this time is "Revelation and the Last Day events. Everyone has shown a keen interest in the subject. Linda started to teach this in the church but found a much better setting in a bible study group where participants can be more involved.

We thank the Lord for Krisztina Revesz helping with the Coffee House ministry. It has really taken off! We have had a number of special outreach services and we are beginning to see more outsiders come in! This is what it is all about. Another opportunity that is in the making is for the high school kids next door to the RDC center to come here and have their English class. Linda and Krisztina will be teaming up with another American missionary to make a program. Please pray for this endeavor.

Linda and Krisztina will be going to Romania for a ladies convention by train and Dave and Harold Presley will be going to Norway in March. We ask for your prayers as we travel.

Dave and Linda

Request from Linda: we just had this prayer request come to us from our dear missionary friends in Germany. They were with us in Malawi for over 25 years and now they live in Germany. He is the Mission Director for their organization. The baby was born about a month ago and had open heart surgery the first day and then another for the lung. She went home and now is back in the hospital. They used the helicopter to take her back. Monika and Siggy our friends, are driving there tomorrow to see her. They live about nine hours away. We are asking all to pray for the baby. She now has a respiratory infection. She is very weak. Below is their request.
"Dear Linda, this is a call for prayer for our Zoe Faith. She had to be admitted into Hospital on Tuesday morning, because of a viral infection of her respiratory tract. This virus is very difficult to handle by little ones, since it produces a lot of secrete. This afternoon she will be flown by helicopter to the Heart clinic, she had the surgery in. She is quite week. Please also pray for Ute and Christian. We will drive to see them tomorrow. Love Monika"
Thanks, Linda

Ricardo and Shadely Salazar in Romania:
Pray for the Muslim Families we have contact with. For the work on the building for the consolidation of the team. For understanding and strength in the lives of the team members. For the development of the plans and vision. For us personally that God will guild us, encourage us with help in language learning and understanding so we can be understood and we can understand them. Our biggest challenge is the social integration between the teaching the people to read, violence in the families, discrimination and lack of material needs. All this is a great challenge to us.

Igor and Lena:
Dear IPHC churches and missionaries,
We would like to thank you for your support over the years for our family and ministry. We can honestly say you have done for us more then anybody else, though we have not had much relationships with you but you have been giving to us faithfully. After being on a mission field for 12 years we feel the Lord is calling us back home, He made it very clear and we need to obey. It is a step of faith for us because we need to learn now how to live in a different setting. We also believe it is about receiving teaching and refreshment from the Lord so we could enter His promises for our future. We have settled in the Ukrainian village near Kiev and Igor is looking for a job right now. We have left Turkey and trusted the church completely in the hands of the Turkish brother Djan. He is facing great challenges now and we ask you to pray for him and the church. Also this month the church needs to move to another facility, the church has never rented out its own place, we met in homes and shared buildings that belonged to other churches. Pastor Djan feels that this is the time for the church to rent out a new place. He has a vision to rent a house where the church would be allowed to meet and where the teams and guests can stay. We would like to asked you for help. Right now the church has 1000$ but it needs about 3000$ to sign the lease. Would you prayerfully consider to help this fellowship to enter this new season? Please let us know if you would. Blessings Igor and Lena and girls .......
We have a request, could you help us with it? It has been over one year since the leadership in Izmir church has been passed to the Turkish brother Djan. On his behalf we write this letter. Pastor Djan believes that for the growth and spiritual life of the church it is good to have people and teams visiting the church. Last year has shown that short terms teams and visitors have encouraged local believers in their faith, helped them to exercise some of their giftings and also have been used by the Lord to add new members to the body. This letter is meant to encourage you to form and send teams and groups of people to visit the church and serve to it. We do not expect visitors to focus on activities and lists to do , it is mostly about relationships and personal experiences and knowing the Lord. The church is ready to help with housing and hospitality. Blessings Igor and Lena and Izmir church "Lutuf"
