Pray for France: Pray for Marty Delmon a missionary in France.
Hello Prayer Warriors: Please lay claim in the heavenlies for the perfect place for me to live in Paris. I know we prayed for that at the retreat but now I have some more specifics: central Paris, I want a roommate, good heat, safe neighborhood for walking at night (don't worry about me -- nothing past midnight), room for overnight guests. already furnished, quiet for writing, good light, view (no staring at blank walls out the window) and less than what I pay now! Nothing is impossible with God!
As always, speak HARVEST over my writings, all of them.
Much love and appreciation to you all! Marty

Pray for Mark & Jeannie McClung
Praise Reports:
THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME!! After wall-papering and painting cement walls and installing kitchen cabinets and light fixtures, we officially moved into our apartment on October 24th.
Today, 11/3/2009 our telephone and internet were installed! We feel connected again!
- Jack is doing well in the German school. He had forgotten a lot of German but the school director has decided to keep him in his all German school rather than to send him to an integrations school. We are so thankful for this!
- We had our first snow on October 15th and it was real cold because we still had not received our winter clothes/belongings that we shipped. They arrived on the 27th. YAY!
- DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING SCHOOL - On October 3rd, we helped to welcome 70 students to the YWAM Fall Discipleship Training School. It is fun getting to know these kids and hear what God is doing in their lives right now. The students are in classes each morning and have begun to form teams in preparation for their Germany evangelism outreaches. In January they will leave for their three month outreach assignments.
- TREFFPUNKT CHURCH IN BERLIN: WOW!!! God is good! We recently had the opportunity to worship together with Pastor Peter and Beate and our Berlin church family. It was awesome to worship with our brothers and sisters and to think back that 10 years ago we were much in prayer and planning for this church plant. Praise God the church is self supported, has a German national pastor, and God has blessed them with a wonderful building and although renovation is not totally finished yet....it will be and God is going to do great things in Berlin!
Prayer Request:
Now that we are settled in our own place, please pray for us as we take on new roles and see Jesus do new things.
As usual, we will be praying for specific direction for the new year.
Thanks for being a part of this adventure through your love and prayers!
