Pray for us we will be returning back to the States for the month of June & July.
Our account is very low and we need to raise some support. So we have lots to do to get ready this month.
We just had our Spain conference last weekend. We had a great conference with good attendance
We added another church from Barcelona to our family
Pray for Spain, our churches, and their pastors: http://spainchurchespray.blogspot.com/
Pray for Lin: He will be doing an encounter with the men in the South of Spain 22-23 of May
3 of May is mother’s day here in Spain
There is high unemployment in Spain and that has effected a lot of our church people. Pray that they will be able to find jobs and pay their bills.
Do remember Rafa & Patty our pastors in Malagón, He is still having problems with his liver. The Doctor says that it isn´t as bad as they thought !Praise God! we thought he was going to have to have a liver transplant but it looks better and we are praying for a complete healing of his liver.
Church in Madrid: Nicolás and Yolanda are doing better and we are in the process of easing them back into the pastorate with full incorporation scheduled for the 1 of June.
Pray for the youth of Madrid. They are asking for a permit to have a concert for their Christian Rock band in one of the areas in Madrid where there are so many young people. It is a way to reach the youth. Pray that they will get the permit.

Pray for Portugal: Tony & Patti
"Well we are going home on furlough so we ask for your prayer for this. This of course means a lot of travel and so on. We'll be down in Florida which is not near any of our family, so even though we are in the States we still will not be able to see our older kids often. We are also moving out of our house here and putting everything into storage - loads of fun. We have started a Bible study that we now need to redirect the attendees to another church during our absence. Obviously we'd prefer to stay on the field but we need a break and our account is a bit in the red so we leave for the States at the end of June. We ask for your prayers in these matters. Tony"

Pray for France: Pray for Marty Delmon a missionary in France.
Sometimes the frustration of being a writer overwhelms me. A lady the other day told me I should get to work and do my writing when I have time off! I work very hard on my writing; it's what I'm called to do! People think I write a story by dashing it off in an hour or two while I'm idling away my time.
Do you know why I promote my books like I do? Because God, Himself, asked me to write them. They are messages I have labored over and it has taken decades to come to the revelation knowledge I share. Writing a book is no small thing. The actual writing, though laborious, some people take years to write a book, is not the critical part of producing a book. It’s the life experiences that create the context and the knowledge of the Word of God that creates the content. A book is not just another sermon, or it shouldn’t be. It’s a depth of understanding that comes from living and learning, mostly achieved through an expanse of time, as the profound lessons of life are acquired through many hills and valleys. Please pray that my books go far and wide to touch people you and I would never imagine would hold such a book in their hands! Ask God to take these books where He wants them to go.
I'm having my novels translated into French now and the first reports of what the people have read are far more encouraging than they were in English. Please pray for the publication of my books in France.
I've just written two teaching books, one of which was recently translated. I'll have the other one translated as soon as the editing is done. Please pray for the publication of these in France. I already have contracts for them in English. I can't help the French with what the Lord has given me to write if I can't get my books translated into French and then into French publication. Please help me with your prayers!
My sincerest thanks! Marty

Pray for Germany: Pray for Peter and Beate
Dear sisters and brothers: Greetings and blessings from Berlin: What a wonderful possibility to stay in prayer with one another. The Apostle Paul said in Galatians 6: 2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. Prayer is one way to do so. So thank you for carry our burdens together. Yesterday we had a very special guest speaker in our Sunday Service!
Our Church founder Mark McClung. We had a very blessed time together and our first prayer request is
to pray for him and his family. That they reach the goal in the finances
to start with the ministry in Germany again. And also for every need what
comes up when you are in times of transition.
The Church in Berlin is still in spiritual springtime, praise God.
Last week we had a meeting of members.
Two families’ become new member. Please pray for them that they become living stones in the temple of our god.
Also we get a new presbyter for the leadership team. His name is
Daniel Steffin. Please pray for him.
Last letter I ask for prayer concerning the Youth ministry in our Church.
Praise God, out of a special meeting in March a new Youth group is founded.
The Youth group leader is Martin Steffin, a young man, 21 years old, loving Jesus and willing to step in to the ministry. Please remember him in your prayers.
Martin Steffin (up in the middle) and a few members of our Youth group
Please pray for us here in Berlin. We need your prayer! Prayer is the way to have victory and to fulfil his will.
Thank you for staying together with us.
With much Love
Peter und Beate↓

Pray for Mark & Jeannie McClung as they prepare to return back to Germany
PRAYER REQUESTS:
April 18-May 8th, Mark will be in Germany attending a seminar and special meetings at our base in Herrnhut. Loren Cunningham, the founder of Youth With a Mission will be there and will be sharing new things on his heart. We believe we are entering a new season of change, challenge and chance for Europe. We are excited. As IPHC missionaries, our next assignment is to plant a new church and assist Youth With a Mission at the Discipleship Trai ning School. Our new base is located in th southeast corner of Germany along the borders of Germany, Poland and Czech Republic (formerly Czechoslovakia - now try to spell that one!). There is no reason the IPHC cannot be expanded and new churches planted in all three of thse countries. Please pray for these meetings - we believe they are strategic to our next missionary term.
We are still itinerating and targeting for a late summer 2009 departure. We do have 1/2 of our support raised but we still have a lot of support to raise but we know that nothing is impossible with God! Thank you for your prayers. May the Lord bless you and meet all of your needs! We love you and we are praying for you.
Mark, Jeannie and kids
