Remember, "8's" are always linked with a new beginning, and "9's" are linked with bringing to birth what has been conceived.

Pray that the arts will have an impact to the unbeliever and get them thinking about God! http://www.linwoodberry.com

Pray for Galería Síntesis(art gallery in Toledo, Spain): We have a new guy working there and he is doing a great job. He has painted the inside walls of the gallery and has been busy with new projects.

I´m in the USA now with my family. Sarah will be going to the Congo the middle of February so I´m helping her get ready for her big move. Sarah could use a lot of your prayers in getting ready, her language learning, finances, she needs to buy many things to bring with her. I pray she finds a good church and feels the protection, God´s hand on her.

David & Jessica and our grandson are in Puerto Rico. He is returning to his studies and is looking for a good job. Remember them in your prayers. I would like to go and visit them so pray for a way I can make the trip and the finances to go.

Pray for Spain, our churches, and their pastors: http://spainchurchespray.blogspot.com

Pray for Gary and Kathy:

Praise reports:
1. Favor with the community where we are working. One on one opportunities to share and pray with neighbors and students.
2. Deepening relationships with international students and their families that allow us to openly share our faith.
3. Another year of fantastic classes at the outreach center with an average of approximately 60 students enrolled or participating in three cycles of studies.
4. A new step of faith - a Kid's Christmas Club where we openly prayed and told the Christmas story with the students. The theme was, "Follow the Star" - a message that Pastor Claudia Castellanos shared at a G-12 conference. The final class we learned that the Word of God is the star today that guides us to Jesus. The kids loved the class and are excited to continue similar classes this coming year - great response and relationship with the parents. There were 6 Spanish kids enrolled from 3-6 years old.
5. We began formal Arabic language studies 4 days a week at a language institute.
6. The opportunity to visit Venezuela and participate in their world outreach conference and see the fulfillment of the IPHC WMM training center for Latin Americans in Trinidad, directed by a spiritual son, Douglas Rosales.
7. The beginning of a pastoral training course with our IPHC pastors in Antequera.
8. On a personal level: our daughter's graduation from Regent University with a Master's degree in Political Science and the birth of our third grandchild.
9. The continued support of our supervisors, friends and co-worker. We are very grateful.
Prayer Requests:
1. Sensitivity to the Holy Spirit to adapt to changes He brings in our strategy and ministry. New ideas and boldness to step out into unknown areas for us.
2. Manifestations of power to the unbelieving.
3. New believers and disciples, cell groups this year.

Pray for Portugal: Tony & Patti

We are seeking God for more people that we can befriend and win to Christ through all avenues. Principally our school is that venue but we are looking for different ways also. Our two oldest are starting a new semester soon in their universities so we'd like prayer for them. We are still waiting for approval on Patti and the kid's residence permits

Pray for Pastor Joseph Agius and the work in Malta:

Prayer requests:

On December the 13th and 14th, we have had wonderful times in the presence of the Lord, and fellowship together as we celebrated our joining the great family of IPHC around the world. We had all together a gorgeous diner on Saturday evening and on Sunday the ordination of pastors Marc and Annemarie. We were blessed by the presence and the preaching of our brothers who came from the United States, England, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands. Thank you for welcoming us in your family and thank you for your prayers on that occasion.

Our prayer requests for this month:

Pray without ceasing for the building works and workers, we need to have them finished (the works) as soon as possible, for the security. We will rent the room opposite the church until February the 1st. We believe the Lord that we will have the agreement before then.

Pray also for the finances, we are much in need of them!!!!!!

Thank you for your faithfulness and happy, blessed New Year. Pascale Sauvage, for CLN France.

Pray for Peter and Beate

Praise Report from Berlin

This month we had two special meetings.

1. one on 13 of December we had our Advent celebration with a large campfire. Round about 60 visitors celebrate with us 3. Advent with singing Christmas songs in a wonderful atmosphere. The weather was dry and cold! Just as we asked in prayer.

2. Holy Night service We celebrate with a nativity play. Sheep and monkey talk about what happened in their home on Christmas night. That was really funny and a good message also. The kids did a wonderful job. The service ended up with a short preaching. That evening our rooms were filled with visitors. I think we had more visitors then church members.

In our church we are right now in a time of growing. Many new families are coming to the meetings. Every service people operate in the gift’s of the Holy Spirit. For me this year was amazing an awesome. We start 2008 with a conference named “2008 – time for a breakthrough” At the end of this year I can say that the Lord fulfilled his promise. The Royal Ranger ministry is restarted.

We have new members in the church. Several families join our church services. The whole atmosphere has changed.

We thank all of you for your support and your prayer. Next year we like to see this process going on, leading us to the point

that we can start to rebuild the big hall. We desire to take over the whole building for the ministry. Therefore we need growing in membership an finances. Please pray for us here in Berlin. We wish you a very blessed and powerful new year.

Greetings from Berlin:

Peter and Beate

Oh, like the old song, ‘Standing in the Need of Prayer’

…. I am standing in the need of prayer and I am so thankful for so many who do pray for us!

Dear European Family - We are praying you will have a most blessed 2009! May you experience an awesome move of the Holy Spirit and strong anointing on all you do. We pray this will be a very fruitful season of your lives! In a time of uncertainty all over the world.....We have the hope the world is seeking!

We just moved out of the New Life Church house and are now staying in the missionary apartment in Concord, NC. We are ready for 2009, a new year and opportunity to raise our support. Please pray we will find favor and blessing as we reach pastors, share in churches, attend mission meals, make contacts and talk to people about future ministry in Germany!

We can’t wait to be back in Europe!!!!!

Thank you for praying.
