Missionary retreat in Turkey in Oct. 2011
World Intercessors Network
Prayer Letter for November 2011
First Friday Fast 4 of November 2011
Lin & Nancy Berry missionaries in Spain and Regional Director for SW Europe
REASONS TO GIVE THANKS:
1. God provided for Nancy to go to the WIN Retreat... we all need to come aside for a time of refreshing, rest, fellowship with God and encouragement.
2. For Lin and the church... there is much excitement, God’s presence, His anointing in the service with the preaching of God’s word and for the plans and purpose for the future
3. Time in the USA with my family, seeing my mom, my sister, mother in law, and I will see my daughter and granddaughter this weekend.... thank you Lord (do remember Lin in Spain, we will be apart for a few months)
4. A wonderful time in France ministering to the wonderful ladies of the church... thank you for your prayers GOD DID ANSWER with His touch, His healings and setting free from strongholds
5. For Lin’s time in Germany
6. For economic provision in our missionary account. Someone has deposited in our account a sum of money... it is in the red so every bit helps... thank you Lord...
7. I will be able to spend thanksgiving with my family... so many times we are so involved with ministry that our families are neglected and forgotten; they also need to know the love and compassion of our Lord Jesus Christ that we spend our whole lives preaching about to others but yet they don’t experience that love because we don’t take some of our time with them too...........
Do pray that we will be able to raise our support back to where it should be. I will be here in the USA until February 21. I would love to come and minister to the ladies or youth group on any day of the week, I was set free from so many fears; I help others to be set free from and see their full potential or I could share in the church on Sunday all that God has been doing in us and through us in Europe. God can use anyone who says yes to God. Lin will be arriving in Late December and we would love to come and share what God has done, thank you for your prayer and financial support and minister to the people.
Thank you so much for praying for the Berry Family

Gary & Kathy in Spain
Praise Reports and Prayer Requests:
1.The Lord continues to give us new students at the outreach center. Some are studying at the university just up the road. We have students from Portugal, Algeria, Morocco, Hebron, Ramalla and of course, Spain. We are excited about each one and hope that they will come to know the Lord. One is the representative for the Palestinian people here in our town. Another is the 4 year old grandson of the greatly loved priest who labored in this community for 30 years (his mother is also a student). It's taking a long time, but every day now it seems like we are able to meet and get closer to people in our neighborhood.
2. Doors continue to open to minister to our neighbors, reading the Word and praying with them and we pray that one day we'll be able to start a church here. Please remember us in your prayers so that we'll be obedient and sensitive to the Holy Spirit here in Granada and so that their hearts will be open to Him.
3. For the Shireys as they prepare to come here. That their visas will be approved and that all will happen according to His timetable.
Thank you!!
From Mark & Jeannie McClung - Missionaries to Germany
Praise God! Good things are happening! Our son, Jack, followed the Lord in water baptism this past Sunday.
The Berlin church has been blessed and encouraged this week through the ministry of Linwood Berry (Regional Director). Our Continental Director, Bob Cave, will be ministering later this week and we are sure the Lord will move again in these meetings! Peter Kressin is doing an awesome job as pastor. The church has been challenged in the area of evangelism and winning the lost ~ Pray for a mighty harvest of souls!
We are working on having the DCPI Church Planters International training manuals/materials traslated from English into German. Mark has completed the training and is a certified trainer. We have tentatively planned our first Berlin Church Planting Training Seminar for March.
- Please pray for Justine as she translates the DCPI Materials from English into German. This is a big task and she is doing a great job!
- Even though November and December are typically not good months for raising missionary support, please pray for an exception! Pray for favor and that we continue to have opportunities to share about the work in Germany. Pray that God will raise up new supporters us so we can return SOON! Goal: January. Urgency: Ministry & for Jack's schooling - to be there by 2nd semester.
- Pray for the 4 couples we have talked with regarding new church plants in Berlin. May the Lord's will be clear and done!
Thank you so much for your prayers! They are powerful and we are grateful! Mark & Jeannie
FOR Matt & Femke in Amsterdam:
Please pray for Femke's pregnancy as she has been quite nauseous for a long time. Pray for our church as we continue to reach out to our community through the Kid's club, Celebrate
Recovery and the Alpha Course. Pray for workers for the harvest to be multiplied. We need God's wisdom and power to see breakthrough take place in the lives of the individuals he is giving us here in Amsterdam. As the winter draws near, I am already seeing more signs of stress and burn out in individuals. On another personal note, could you pray for my 16 year old nephew
Joel. He sits now in teen challenge and needs some healing in his heart and life. Thanks to everyone for your prayer support.
Psalm 86.7 I will call on you (Lord), for you will answer...
