Praying for SW Europe: October Prayer Letter 2009
2 of October, First Friday Fast
By Rev. Nancy Berry iWIN Director
Pray for our overseers to all of Europe and the Middle East: Bob and Carol Cave
Greetings to all. It is getting close to our Missionary Retreat in Turkey and we are getting excited to see each one that is coming. Please come expecting a refreshing in your life, that God will speak through any one of us to each other. This next 4 years will be a great time in Mission wherever the Lord has placed you because Jesus declares to us in Matt. 28:19 to "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" When I see your lives, I think, thank the Lord for your obedience......and thank the Lord that Jesus said in John 6:40 " this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day."
You are in the right place to bring the message of hope to your Nation and I thank you for your faithfulness. Carol and I look forward to seeing you soon
One other prayer request is about resident Visas for our missionaries. Pray for divine favor for the Criggers as they try to comply with new regulations. Pray also for the Ruiz family that the Lord opens a door into Macedonia for them through a couple of lawyers we have contacted.
Blessings to all...............Bob & Carol

damages.

Our young people had a very good concert with people who are not saved. They have a Rock band that relates to the youth but also they preach. They had over 150 people present. There was a good size group that got saved at the end. Praise the Lord..................................................................................

Praise report:
1. New immigrant and Spanish students who are enrolled in the outreach center.
2. Gary and I both passed to the second level of Arabic studies and continue to make new friends at the 6 hours a week course.
Prayer report:
1. Opportunities for the activities at the outreach center to grow (volunteers) but some of these people aren't believers. One, a doctoral student in literature, who is also a neighbor and taking classes at the center, offered to direct an activity for children to encourage them to have a love for reading. She just received a governmental recognition and prize in Mexico for the kid's reading clubs she held in her city. She wants to offer reading activities in the center once or twice a month. I explained to her that this center is funded by people who love God and want to share His love with others. She said that people had already told her this and, although she wasn't a believer, she would respect our purposes. I asked if she would be willing to pray with me before the classes and she said she would. Pray with us that she can come to know the Lord.
(I think that one very religious Arab friend would like to give Arabic classes in the center but, since her religion is so enlaced with all she does and says, I don't feel a freedom to do this and would appreciate your prayers. These type of situations are challenging and I pray that if she does ask me, the Lord will give me the words to talk to her more about the purposes of the center and the Lord. I have shared the Gospel with her.)
2. Also, an elderly Spanish neighbor, who does beautiful artwork in wood, has donated a clock and picture to the center. He has a lot of woodwork crafts that he made and said he would bring things to the center one Saturday for an "exposition" so that the neighbors can see them. This can encourage the older neighbors to learn new things and also let people in the community know what he is doing. His wife is our 74 year old "Beginning English" student. They are "jewels" and love God in their traditional way. We pray for their salvation.
3. That our immigrant friends who do not believe in Jesus' sacrifice and our traditional Spanish friends who hold tight to idolatry will come to know the truth in God's word and be willing to meet to study His Word. One immigrant friend recently told me he would like to read the NT.
4. This cycle of studies began today and we have students from Poland, Peru, Algeria, Morocco, Spain, Mexico, Palestine, and Costa Rica. Please pray with us for the Lord to guide us in sharing the Gospel with all of them.
5. For guidance and anointing in directing the praise and worship at our mission's retreat.
6. Our son, Daniel, who is in Afghanistan.
Thank you, Gary and Kathy

Pray for Portugal: Tony & Patti:
· Please pray for Ines, new believer in Portugal who came to the Lord not long before we left for furlough. Her step-father died unexpectedly and the family needs prayer. The praise report on this is that she has told us that she doesn't know how they would have handled this tragedy without the Lord and how thankful that they met us. My heart breaks for them but they have been growing in their faith through it all. Thank you for your prayers for them.
· Also pray as we move to the South Carolina Conference to finish raising support. We have reached about 40% of our goal in the last three months and we hope to raise the rest by spring. Thanks again for your prayer support!!!

Pray for France: Pray for Marty Delmon a missionary in France.
I'm back in France having arrived in Nice on Thursday and then did a workshop for Uprooting Buried Lies in Opio near Cannes. I also spoke at a women's group in Valbonne, also near Cannes, on Monday. Then I drove to my little nest, my writer's hideaway in Baillargues.
I am spending the next six months in a sort of isolation as I rapidly (please pray) write five more books in my "Destined For..." series. The first two books came out this summer, "Destined For Success" and "Destined For Healing" (see my blog at www.martydelmon.com) and sold very well. I've had two testimonies of people being healed while simply reading the book, which thrills me. I also want to write an entire year's worth of radio stories because I am intensely praying about my forthcoming move to Paris in the spring. (More prayer!) It is time for Paris to once again have an IPHC coffee shop, an IPHC English speaking church and I want to be closer to the radio work and potentially the television work and that points to Paris. However, I want all that prayed out before I get there. Please pray!
In His service and yours, Marty

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! Please pray for the new members. Please pray that the seeds planted will grow into a 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
In October, most German churches celebrate a special Sunday called "Ernte Dank." The English translation is "Harvest Thanksgiving". This tradition goes back hundreds of years as believers decorated their church altars with all kinds of harvest fruits - apples, pumpkins, sheaves of grains, tomatoes, potatoes, etc. in a show of thanks to God for the bountiful harvest.
In this season of thanksgiving, Jeannie and I would like to thank God for giving us a good start in Germany. We have found a small apartment about a mile from the YWAM Center. Apartments in Germany look a lot different than American apartments. No light fixtures, no kitchen appliances, no cabinets, no sink - just bare cement walls with pipes and wires sticking out. Right now we are putting on wall paper and painting walls. Oct 25th is our move in date so a lot needs to be done in the next few weeks. Also, we have found a good used car - a 2002 Hyundai with a diesel engine. Diesel fuel is a little cheaper here but we still pay around $6.00 a gallon. No more complaints on American gas prices! The fall YWAM Disciple Training School begins on Oct 3rd with 70 students attending. Keep these young people in your prayers as they prepare for their missionary outreach. Our son, Jack, has been in German school two days now. He really likes it although it is a big adjustment getting back into the German language. We are thankful for a good start here in Germany and also thankful for our many good friends who partner with us in the Great Commission. Mark & Jeannie McClung
