Praying for Europe

August Prayer Letter . 2007 . First Friday Fast . 3 of August

PRAYER FOCUS. Praying for SW Europe

SW Europe Lin and Nancy Berry Regional Ministry Coordinator for Southwest Europe

On July 5 we opened a new show in Síntesis (the culture center) called “A Dissonant Landscape”. We want to thank you for praying! It went well.

Our objectives for this show were:

To re-open Síntesis and let folks know that we are back in Spain.
To involve the people of our newest church (in Toledo) in evangelism by getting them directly involved in the coffee house/culture center.
To get as many names on our mailing list as possible.
To get as much positive publicity as possible.
To sell paintings (40% of the proceeds goes to finance Síntesis).
To make a prophetic impact in the lives of everyone who came, and to minister as the Lord leads.
To train our SOW worker Crystal Clay to direct the center, freeing us for other ministry.

Lin had 37 paintings in the show. 90 % had a prophetic message attached to them. He made a tract based on the show and it was very effective. You can see some of the paintings and read the tract by going to our blog: http://artawakening.blogspot.com/ , http://arteyavivamiento.blogspot.com/


Three art critics came (one from Madrid) and each gave a very positive review to Lin’s work. Three newspapers came and interviewed him and shot photos of Síntesis. A local TV station came and also did this. Also a number of local artists and other professional gallery owners stopped by. This is great, free publicity.
We had around a dozen people from the Toledo church come and each was involved; making food, talking to people and many invited unsaved neighbors and friends. We believe that the success of Síntesis is directly related to the ability of the local church to get involved with it and follow up on contacts made.
We had around 70 people show up and half of them added their names to our mailing/contact list.
We sold 4 paintings.
One lady was so impressed that she returned 3 times with neighbors and friends. She is not a Christian. The following night, she came and as Lin shared the prophetic message of one of the paintings with her friend, the Holy Spirit moved in a powerful way. The lady was deeply touched and her eyes misted up. Before they left, the 2 ladies allowed Lin to pray with them.
Crystal did an excellent job. Her Spanish is improving greatly and she is well on her way to an exciting, successful ministry in Síntesis.




This past Sunday we had a special meeting in Síntesis for the Church in Toledo. We named Yolanda and Gabriel as the pastors, their elders where named and people signed there names on the role as members. It was a positive meeting.
Pray as we travel and minister this month in Spain. We will be speaking in a youth conference of about 1,000 young people.


Pray for the Spain Conference

Nicolas and Yolanda in Madrid, Orlando and Blanca in Madrid, Jaime and Prude in Parla
Rafa and Patty in Malagón, Manuel and Charo in Barcelona, Israel and Enca in Manresa
Gary and Kathy in Granada, Francis in Alcalá de Henares,
Gabriel and Yolanda in Toledo, Jorge and Luz Mary in Antequera, Tomás and Vicky in Numancia


Remember Rafa and Patty in Malagón. He has liver problems and he is undergoing treatments. He needs a miracle from God.

Remember Jaime and Prude in Parla. They just got a building and now they have more responsibilities then before.

Pray for Portugal Tony and Patti Guasco

Here in Portugal we are doing well in that we (the church) is all legal now and personally our residence permits process is well underway also. The church is doing well also but we need a bigger place and some of our members are really struggling financially and this is severely hindering our progress. I realize God can do the supernatural and this is exactly what we need, a supernatural miracle, so please pray.

Also I’d like add ask a favor from everyone and that is to pray for Zimbabwe. Now I realize that this is a prayer letter for Europe, but many of you know that we were first missionaries to Zimbabwe and we still love the place and its people immensely. I have attached a letter from a 16 Zimbabwean who is requested prayer for their country. Check out the blog to read the letter: http://iphceuroprays.blogspot.com/. Would you please take 5 minutes and read it- then pray. Thank you, Tony

Pray for Malta Pastor Joe Agius and family

Greetings from Malta:
These are some prayers requests for our church.
Please pray:

We need permits for evangelism. Although we are not being denied permits,
The authorities are taking too long to reply and some don’t even reply.
Please pray for marriages and other relationships.
It seems that the devil is really working overtime to cause division with couples.
Please pray for our church to have more new Christians added.
We are doing all that we know we should do, including trusting and praying, but still people do not come to the Lord.
Please pray for our finances. Our evangelism programs are taking lots of our income and putting strain on other important departments.
Please pray that the Lord will continue to manifest Himself in our midst as He has been doing for many months.
We really wish that we do not loose this great vision
Please pray for our young people to remain in the Lord.

Grace and peace in Jesus

Joe

Pray for France Marty Delmon

Please pray that a powerful Anointing will be on my writing in order that the people who listen to my radio stories will be pierced in their hearts to receive Jesus as their Lord; that those who read my books will be inspired to serve Him with all their spirit, soul and body and that the stage plays will bring much fruit for the Kingdom of God. Please pray for an agent for my new book, Wild Card, for an agent for my screenplays and for more and more radio stations around the world.

This little paragraph can be put in the prayer letter any month I miss the deadline. Thank you, Nancy, for your tender loving care of all our prayer requests.

In His Joy!
Marty
