PRAISE REPORT:

I had asked for prayer for our grandson and wanted to let you know that he is doing so much better

Our daughter and family are doing well in Ethiopia just talked with them yesterday and all are happy

We praise God for our leadership team who step up to the plate and did  very good ministry during the summer months

Lin and I will continue being the senor pastors of the church in Madrid but we are able to give more responsibilities to our leaders

The crisis has hit hard here but in spite of that we have people in our churches who have not lost their jobs and do pay their tithes

We are still planting churches and extending our boundaries

PRAYER REQUEST:

We are looking into branding CReA (culture center) to be reproduced throughout Europe

The ministry of the culture center is to reach people who normally do not enter into a church… it is a great tool for evangelism

People in our churches have brought their bosses to an art show and were very impressed by the culture center and when Lin would go and talk with them they were VERY OPEN to the gospel  

It opens so many doors for us to share our faith

I will be having a WOMEN’S ENCOUNTER this Sunday in CReA we were going to have it last Sunday but had to postpone till 3 of Nov

Pray as they gain confidence in Christ Jesus that they will be healed of past wounds, be set free from strongholds of sin and receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.

We will be traveling to the south of Spain to have a special meeting with our churches on the 10 of November

We pray for God guidance, direction and wisdom

Colossians 4:2-3 says…..“Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message,

so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains” (Colossians 4:2–3, NIV).

We are not in literal chains as Paul was, but we do serve in an area where many are resistant to the gospel.

• Pray against evil forces that would seek to hinder the spread of the gospel.
• Please pray for individual hearts to be open and receptive to God’s truth. Pray that God will lead us to hearts ready to receive His Word.
• Pray that God will open doors of ministry, blessing partnerships and friendships.
• Pray that we will be led by the Holy Spirit and recognize open-door opportunities.
• Pray that God will give specific direction regarding our church planting endeavors.
• Pray that our missionary support account.  Please pray for new monthly supporters and/or gifts to bring it out of a deficit.  We hope to complete our 3 year term!

Things in Belgium are moving along. We have a few praise reports to share:

1) Our newest church plant just moved to every Sunday services. We have been meeting only two Sunday's a month. However, our ConnectGroups have been meeting every week. We are very excited to have our official dedication service November 24th. Harold Presley will be our guest speaker.

2) We are very thankful that SOWer Jennifer Moore from the Cornerstone Conference is with us for a few weeks. She came to help us in Children's Church as we are now in every Sunday services.

3) Bible School is going well. It's a rebuilding year as we had a lot of students graduate last year. Gretchen and I are serving as interim administrator due to Mau and Lulu itinerating the next few weeks in the States.

4) We have had a lot of open doors to teach and minister in several different venues: Schools of Ministry, Continental Theological Seminary and young adult retreats. This has allowed us to build some new relationships.

Prayer Requests:

1) We're praying and seeking for a SOWer for Children's work. The tasks we need is three fold. First, to serve as our children's leader in the new church plant. Second, to create a children's outreach. And third, to train children leaders in other churches. Please pray with us.

2) We will be engaging in some new areas of outreach in the coming months. We are wanting to be strategic and more effective.

3) Continued language skills in Dutch!

4) I (Bill) will be in the States the entire month of February. Please pray for effective fundraising, my family, and for our new church plant during this time.

Blessings,

Bill, Gretchen, Rachel and Ryan

   Mauricio and Lulu

From Mauricio Salazar
I just went through a procedure of infiltration, nerve burning and epidural cortisone injection in the L-4 L-5 and sacroiliac joints. All are a reminder that I practiced for many years ice and roller figure skating. I also fell down the stairs several years ago and broke two vertebrates and have several disc hernias. I am in so much pain right now at home and will appreciate your prayers.

They wrote last month this: We are in the need of prayer because we have been under very strong spiritual attack, and not only us but the church as a whole. We have had gossip, we have lost members, there has been some satanic activity and members have heard a voice speaking to them  negatively about us and the church.
