Praying for Europe: April Prayer Letter 2009
By Rev. Nancy Berry iWIN Director
Pray for our overseer to all of Europe and the Middle East: Bob and Carol Cave:
Hi Nancy; Thanks again for the great job you do of keeping us informed of the prayer needs that are out there. As you know the WMM Board has been meeting in Toledo Spain for the first overseas meeting in 4 years. What a blessing to have them get a glimpse of what the Lord is doing in Europe. I believe this will give them a better idea of what we face in missions in Europe, where most Nations are about one percent Evangelical Christians or less. Praise the Lord for the progress we have made and we pray that He will give us much fruit in each of our countries.
Please pray for the upcoming European/Middle East Pastors Conference May 13-15 in Oradea, Romania. This is a great opportunity to start to unite our pastors across Europe and give them a better "big" picture of IPHC. Pray that in this economic time there will be a good representation. Blessings ......................................Bob

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

Prayer for Larry & Debbie Mininger in Estonia

Pray for Ben and Marianne Janssen in Eastern Europe
At this time we would like to ask prayer for the efforts of pastor Victor and his church in Zhitomer, Ukraine. This is a very young and active church. They are trying to invite as many people as possible for their Easter service. There is an incredible zeal among the believers to bring the people of Zhitomer to the Lord. We ask the Lord to bless their endeavors for this important service on April 19, which is Orthodox Easter.
Blessings, Ben and Marianne Janssen

Pray for Albania: David & Valbona
First I would like to thank everyone for their prayers. We are just finishing up our time in North America and things went much better than expected. Thank you for your prayers. Our Prayer Requests:
1. We desperately need someone who will come and assist with the education of our children, Christopher and Kimberley. They start their new school year in April and we still don't have anyone. If we don't find someone then I will have to take that over taking me away from other ministry efforts. Please pray for a teacher.

2. Valbona and the children leave Canada on April 5th, less than one week. they have a lot of luggage and it looks like they might have to pick it up and transport it to their next flight in Toronto. This will be very difficult for them. Pray for a smooth transition here, a safe flight and to make all connections (4 of them) with no problems and for safety for them as they are in airports. Also pray for my (David's) return on April 10th.

3. 2nd Annual National Youth Convention. Pray for the final planning stages. Pray that the youth will register on time. Pray for a great turnout. Pray for the blessing and anointing and the glory of God.

4. We need more help in our ministry. Pray that God will speak to people and that they would respond.

5. Pray for a special move of God in our church and among the people. Pray for revival in the hearts of people. Pray for people to desire and work together right relationships with one another. Pray that God will give us wisdom, discerning of spirits, love and mercy in dealing with people.

Thank you once again. In His Service: David, Valbona, Christopher and Kimberley

Pray for Turkey:
• Ismail and Angela, Greetings from Ankara Turkey! Praise the Lord I and my family is doing great and Angela's pregnancy is going well and our baby is probably coming at the end of April and we're trying to prepare ourselves for this... The work is going well we have started a new church in Laodicea where is my home town and it's growing fast and it's very exciting how God is working in this ancient city among Muslims as we feel and notice he has already prepared the hearts of many. My parents still live in there and they gave their lives to Jesus about 2 years ago after practicing Islam for many years. I baptized them last May which was a great privilege and blessing for me as you can imagine... We had a baptism two weeks ago 6 people from our Ankara church and 3 from Laodicea church got baptized here in Ankara if you have sometime you can watch it www.mesihinkilisesi.com\vaftiz.html . Please remember the church in Ankara and in Laodicea in your prayers as family you can pray for the birth that is on the way as we need some financial help for the hospital that we don't have a health insurance.
Blessings, Ismail
