Please pray for:
New leaders to join the leadership

Pray for Portugal      
Tony and Patti Guasco

Our praise report is that we are well received in every church that we've visited and on paper have raised about 125% of our budget.
Last month 96% came in.  Let's hope that the next few month stay on this trend.  We've been home a long time (13 months) and are ready to go back to Portugal.
Please pray that we will quickly find a new home to live in and because every time we come home for furlough we have to put our stuff in storage.
This will be the 33 time I've moved in my life.  I 'll need help this time because Paul will be staying in the States this time and it'll only be the girls and myself.
My Prayer request is that we (some of us) will get into shape and therefore better health.


Pray for Germany:    Pastor Peter and family

Pray for the Mark and Jeannie McClung

Thank you for diligently continuing in prayer for us and pressing into the Father on our behalf.
Our request this month - Please pray Matthew 9:37-38 over the work in Germany.  Jesus told his disciples,
“The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest” (Matthew 9:37-38)
Our city is a mission field.  Berlin, the capital of Germany, has a population of 3.5 million people and only 1% of these are born again.
As we network and help form core groups for church planting, we see a very urgent need for pastors.
We recently met with believers in two different parts of the city.   In each of these sections of the city, with 20-30,000 populations, there are no evangelical churches.
Please pray that God will call pastors and that those whom he calls will say, “YES!”  We meet many German Christians who just don’t imagine
God might be calling them….pray for open sensitive, willing hearts!
Thanks, Praise & Prayer Requests  ~~~ Last summer you prayed and Jack had a great year back in the German school system.
Tomorrow is his last day of school.  He had a very loving and kind teacher, adjusted well, made lots of friends, earned good grades, and is happy!
Praise God!  Don’t stop praying for missionary kids.  Your prayers have a great impact in their lives!   Thank you!
Grace & Peace,
Jeannie for all

PRAY FOR:    NORTHWEST EUROPE
Harold & Kathleen Presley

WALES: Just an update on a unique ministry that our missionaries Todd & Stephanie Presley have. They have a special needs son that has become the door opener to a lot of people in a similar situation in Wales. They have formed a "support group" that has led them to build relationships with many families that don't have any Church background at all. Todd and Stephanie have a house church that has sprung out of this and the local Government agency has asked them to expand their support groups to other communities and towns.

Please pray for Femke as I will be in the US for a month and she will be alone with the four small kids.
Thank God for the great Schools of Prophecy where we are seeing people stepping out in prophecy and the gifts of the Spirit.
Pray for our Spanish cell group to find a stable place to meet and that this group will continue to grow.
Pray that the name of Jesus will be lifted up and his kingdom will continually be established throughout Amsterdam, Holland and beyond.
Sincerely,
Matt and Femke Helland

Pray for Rob and Michelle Crigger in the UK 

Pray for Brussels, Belgium
   Mauricio and Lulu
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. Due to this many have left, and the reason why I know it is of satanic origin is because all of those that left had exactly the same discourse and one of those that stayed said he heard a voice speaking to him saying "The pastor is using you and he is abusing of your kindness, etc" all said basically the same thing. So please pray that this satanic activity may deffenetly stop because it is happening in the homes and jobs of the people when they are not in church.   
Thank you,
Mauricio Salazar 
Bill, Gretchen, Rachel & Ryan
Bill had emergency surgery:
Thank you for all of your prayers! Bill is on the mend. He was able to leave ICU yesterday morning. He was only in there 18 hours or so, and it's a good possibility he will come home tomorrow or Thursday.
Their concern Sunday was getting the stint in to drain the fluid off his kidneys. He still needs to pass that stone.
Bill was transferred to another hospital where they took him into emergency surgery. This was decided based on continued fever, blood test and dropping of blood pressure.
The doctors told him it  was "septic". They  found out in the  morning the immediate infection was gangrene.
The stone was  still there, pray that it will pass by itself. He has a stint and drain tube to eliminate the infection.
Your prayers are so encouraging.
Pray for the training of DCPI  coming up in a few weeks
Pray for the trip to USA in 3 weeks to raise funds
 Pray for Bill as he is also finishing up his second masters.
