Praise the Lord for the very nice visit to the States. We had a surprise visit from our Son and his family. We got to see our Grandson Daniel. Thank you for praying.

We were able to visit some of the churches in hopes of raising our account up some. Lin had an art show and we were able to make contacts with people and he was able to share Christ with some of them. We were able to go to General Conference and that was a blessing to us to see ones we have not seen for a long time.

Thank you all for praying for Sarah, she is doing better from her Malaria; she is in the Congo Africa with her work.

We have to get back to Spain we have 2 very important events to attend.

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

There is high unemployment in Spain and that has effected a lot of our church people.

· Do remember Rafa & Patty our pastors in Malagón, He is still having problems with his liver. The Doctor says he needs a liver transplant there are days he is very sick he needs a healing from the Lord. We are still waiting for the results to some test

· 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.

1. Our Antequera pastors did an excellent job on their Pentatuch final in their Bible Survey class- they both got 110 out of 118 points! We are so proud of them.

2. The open doors to share and minister in our neighborhood. Many expressions of friendship and opportunities to pray with friends.

Prayer requests:

1. To begin a cell group and lead neighbors and friends to a commitment to Jesus Christ.

Pray for France: Pray for Marty Delmon a missionary in France.

The desire of my heart is this: Please pray that the anointing of God will ride on every word that I write, whether people hear the words on the radio, listen and watch them on streamtv, or read them in a book, and that the anointing will produce a harvest wherever these words go in the whole world. Please pray that God will commission every word that I write and pluck up every word that He did not decree and that He will take these words to the people He wants to touch with them.
Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read this and to pray in agreement with me. Your time is my valuable gift and your prayers are your gift to the lost.
In His service and yours,
Marty

Pray for Paris: Pray for Marc & Annemarie Lebrun in Paris, France; Christ Light of the Nations Ministries: http://www.clnm.org

Prayer requests: Dear brothers and sisters, pray for souls. We go and evangelize in the streets each Saturday. For the moment, 3 persons have given their hearts to the Lord. Our goal is to reach souls!!! For the building, the authorization. Again we have received a refusal. We appeal against it. Pray for this whole situation. Thank you for standing in prayer. Blessings, Pascale Sauvage, CLN Paris.

Pray for Lin´s travel to Paris and the ministry time to the Church.

Pray for Germany: Pray for Peter and Beate

Dear Brothers & Sisters; Greetings and blessings from Berlin:

The Church in Berlin is doing very well! Praise God

But please keep on praying that the blessing will go on. We need still more of Jesus!

Another two Families ask for membership in our Church.

That means 10 people more is like 15% church growing. Please pray for the new members.

Last month we had a festival in our village. We offered a Bible Exhibition and our Ranger tribe

makes a lot of activity outside. Many people join us this weekend, and we had a lot of good talking with non believers.

Please pray that the seed is well planted and grows up to harvest.

We need wisdom to go on with the building. The rooms we are using now are too small. Maybe we have to use a tent for a year.

Please pray for us and also for the finances we need to fix the building. It’s up to 400.000 EUR needed! So it is a big challenge.

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

Dear Friends:
UPDATE:
We have good news to report! World Missions Ministries has approved our return to Germany. We will leave on September 15th. After a full year of itineration, we are eager to get started with our new assignment - working with "Youth with a Mission" in Herrnhut and planting new IPHC churches in Germany.
Thank you for standing with us in prayer and financial support over the last year allowing our account to build and enabling us go. World Missions has made an exception to release us when we still have 30% of our budget to raise in monthly faith commitments. We will try to raise these funds while on the field. We are all stepping out in faith, believing these funds will come in within the next few months. God has been faithful over the years to supply all our needs.

PLEASE PRAY THAT:
1) All things go smoothly as we prepare for the move.
2) Pray we can sell our vehicles - 2007 Toyota pick-up truck and a 2007 Hyundai Elantra.
3) Pray for Jeannie as she finishes her job at the bank. Her last day is August 21st.
4) Pray for Philip has he begins his freshmen year at the University of North Carolina (Greensboro).
5) Pray for Jack - he has been brushing up on his German language skills - he will begin 2nd grade in the German schools. Pray that all he learned as a young child is stored in there somewhere and that it will all come back easily to him.

We are trusting the Lord to make this term our most productive years of ministry. Jesus is coming soon, and we must "labor while it is yet day, for the night cometh, when no man can labor." Thank you for partnering with us in this great end time harvest. God's grace and peace be with you all.

Mark McClung
