Pray for Joe and Christina Agius in Malta
- The strongholds over my country are: Idolatry and the related demonic powers are the strongholds that make it hard for people to let go. To reach the Maltese becomes very difficult because idols are a lie, and the Maltese are willing to believe in them. Church needs are: their commitment in walking with the Lord. I am not only referring the righteous and holy living, but also in serving. Pray for your leaders: To remain faithful to God and the calling He has given them, especially when times are very difficult. Also I wish that you pray that leaders will be committed to continue equipping to serve the church better. - Pray for our family: I wish that you pray especially for my children to remain faithful to God and serve him whole heartedly. Also please pray for Christine and I to keep on growing together in the Lord regardless the difficulties we face because of the ministry.
Mark and Jeannie MClung in Germany
Strongholds: Higher education, striving for better income, filling life with the material possessions and living a life that is full of every pleasure. Christianity has become less popular, New Age philosophies, Islam, the occult and Satanism are on the increase. PRAYER NEEDS: Church Planting: Please pray that God will reveal to us specific direction for future church plants. Pray that God will raise up many German believers to start new churches with us. Revival: Pray that Germany would see a great move of the Holy Spirit and that revival would spread across that nation. YWAM Discipleship Training Schools (DTS) – We love working with Youth! Pray for students attending the DTS lecture phase that they will understand God more deeply, live more like Jesus and identify their unique gifts and purposes to use in missions. Pray for the students as they go on their 10 week outreaches - that as they proclaim the Kingdom of God that the Lord will supernaturally move in power through salvations, miracles and healings. Pray that many students will answer the call to “Go into all the world and make disciples of all nations.” (Matthew 28:19) Family Prayer: Pray that God will continue to bless us with love and unity and that we will role model Christian family to our son and to German students who visit our home. Many Germans grew up in one parent households and long for family.

Pray for Ronnie & Margaret Turner in Oradea, Romania
The stronghold over my country: I think that the greatest stronghold is how the enemy uses legalism and traditions to hinder people from moving forward.
Our greatest stronghold over the ministry....is raising funds for church projects when the economy seems to be struggling. Ronnie is praying for 1 million dollars for Romania to build churches and whatever else is needed to further the kingdom of God. For every beast of the forest is His and the cattle of a thousand hills.... and so is 1 million dollars; believe with us.
Help us to pray for these church needs:We want to see revival among the churches...not just church meetings and go home....but a great move of God; where we will see people delivered from addictions, healings, and many being saved. Pray for the Soup Kitchen as we feed those who are sick and poor; that through this ministry people will receive Jesus in their heart. Pray for church plants, more pastors, more missionaries and more church building projects.
Pray for the leaders:Pray for those who are complete and blameless before us stay. Cut off the wicked; let the unfaithful be rooted out. To bring to light what is hidden in darkness, and expose the secret aims of their hearts. Let this nation remember from where they have fallen, repenting and setting their hearts and their souls to seek the Lord.
Pray for Ronnie and myself as we build churches and minister where He leads us. Pray for our family back in the states...for our daughter and her husband to be saved and our grandson to be healed of lung problems.
Pray for Samuel Ruiz as he and his family are preparing to return back to Macedonia
They have good news!!!! After many years of waiting she is going to have a baby…they are very happy….
