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

Please pray for Pastor Joe and Christine Agius in Malta:

1. The unity of the brethren to increase.

2. Church member to make the church’s mission as theirs

3. Completion of the church new facilities to be completed in time.

4. Our leadership to work closer together reaching our goals in His Kingdom

5. Global Institute of Theology who have an important meeting with the government November 3 concerning accreditation of numbers programs.

6. The youths of the church to become more involved in the church’s programs.

Give thanks to God for:

1. Christine finding a new job before the present one is terminated with the same salary she had previously.

2. One of the leaders who have promised to commit himself to take some of our load and release us to concentrate more on Christian education.

3. David my son found a job which he likes

4. Church member George Bonello who is building the new facilities with no charge.

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.

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.

Pray for Gary and Kathy in Spain
Praise report:
Mom's visit was great! (Charlene West) She ministered in some of the IPHC churches here and also to our neighbors. We've started a new cycle of classes at the outreach center and also Arabic
classes. I (Kathy) have a great teacher! We thank the Lord for a wonderful time of ministry and fellowship with the other IPHC churches during the annual Spanish conference. We thank Him for our leaders, pastors, the speakers who were with us - everything was a blessing.
Prayer request:
That the Lord will open the hearts of the people here to receive His Word and be hungry to study it. That He will give us His wisdom and anointing to reach them. That a ladies’ Bible study I'm announcing will have a positive response. That students at the ministry center and in our classes will be drawn to Christ and that we will be sensitive to what the Lord is doing. That the inscription for the classes will cover the rent of the ministry center. This is the goal but it isn't happening yet. We pray for funds for the Muslim ministry outreach account to help continue using the office space that we're renting.
Thank you so much for your prayers. God bless you, Gary and Kathy

Matthew Helland in Amsterdam
Dear Intercessors,
First of all I want to express a praise report. 2 Weeks ago we did our first official 3 days of fasting as a church in Amsterdam. Every evening we had prayer at our house. That weekend we experienced several spiritual breakthroughs in individuals lives. Prayer and fasting is great, it does bring results. Now we have begun a busy church program with kid''s club, Alpha
course, Celebrate Recovery, etc. In the midst of this I am seeing divine contacts come about. For example, 2 days ago I met a Christian Turkish woman looking for a church and a Spanish family also looking for a church. These kinds of coincidences are things I see as Gods hand at work. Thanks for praying for us.
This weekend I am going with the men of our church on a retreat. Could you pray for these men: Bruno, Pravin, Matt, Rene, Klaas, Matthijs, Martin, Bram. Bill Schwarts, IPHC missionary from Belgium will be the speaker. Will you agree with me that we will truly have a divine encounter with God and with each other throughout the weekend. May each man be strengthened and brought closer to walking in their destiny. May any strongholds in our lives be removed that want to impede us as men from being the kinds, priests and prophets of our homes and church. Thanks again for your prayers.
Sincerely,
Matthew Helland

Pray for Ginger Simmons in London I trust this finds all well with you! I am so thankful for
God's healing hand and quick recovery. I will be going back to the surgeon on 4 October and anticipate a wonderful report. I thank you for your continued prayers for my family as
we process through the grief and move forward with God's divine will for our lives.
God bless you as you continue serving our King!
Shalom Ya'll, Ginger Simmons

Pray for Dave and Linda in Eastern Europe
The Coffee House Outreach is doing wonderful! It is going beyond our expectations! This summer we had the privilege of having Timothy Meadors with us to help us in the English Conversation Club program. It was and still is a huge success. Timothy and Krisztina were able to go to the school next door to introduce the program. We had favor from the teachers and many of the students. We have had bbq's and creative ways to reach these young people by various activities such as movie nights, picnics by the Danube and in a few evenings we had special singing and barbecue and the kids brought some of their parents with them. We now have it every Sat. afternoon since the kids are back in school. The coffee house is a great evangelism tool to reach the community.
Linda has just finished her course work at ORU and is in the writing phase of the dissertation. Please continue to pray that she (me) makes it through the whole program with sanity intact! We have had opportunities to share Christ with so many this past month. Dave's cousins came from Austin to visit.
Will you please remember William and Sharon Hudson in your prayers that God will save them. They have retired from AMOCO Oil and have lived all over the world. They have everything except Jesus.
I have a very important prayer request:
This request is in from my daughter-in-law Sheryl: "We would appreciate so much your prayers for our Darian. As many of you know he was diagnosed with having genetic epilepsy in
March 2010 at the age of 10. Since then it has been an ongoing battle with trying to find the right meds/dosage to help stop his seizures. Darian is having partial seizures again and I just took him in to have blood work done this morning to determine his medication levels so that his Neurologist can come up with a plan of action (again) for him. Our prayer is that Darian's
seizures can be controlled so that he can have a great first year in middle school, without any interruptions in learning due to the memory loss that accompanies each episode. Thank you for your prayer support and for believing with us! Thanks to all who work beside us in your
different fields of service. May God bless you all and give you strength this day! Dave and Linda

Pray for David, Valbona, Christopher and Kimberley Pennoyer in Albania
- Pray for Abigail (our children’s teacher) and her husband. They have returned to America to assist in disaster relief with his mother. Please pray for them and also for another teacher to come and help with our children.
- We want to thank God for the great miracle He did over the summer in providing for the Seafarers and United Youth for Christ. We have just about reached our goal of just over $103,000 but still need about $5,000. Pray that God would supply the rest and for our
regular ministry expenses.
- Pray that the right person will come along who can help us finish our web page.
- Give thanks to God for the health of the church. We are sensing something big is happening and many are excited. Please continue to pray that more people would realize their function in their church.
- Pray for our Children’s Bible School that we will fill all the spots with the right children. We have room for 50 more. Pray for a missionary/teacher to come & help.
- Pray for Elona our missionary. Pray for encouragement, strength and protection.
- Continue to pray for the finances, for my health and for our family.
(I just got back from 3 days of fasting and prayer and got a report from the doctor that the
sarcoidosis has flared up again. I need your prayers…David)

Bob & Carol over Europe:
Greetings to all: Carol and I are truly amazed each day how the Lord is about His Ministry worldwide. I thank Him for the responsibilities He gives us and so many times when we're over our heads, He pulls us through. Our prayers are with each of you and I can't help but feel some of the struggles you encounter, especially when it comes to raising funds for your own support account. Is this a test or what? How many times in the last 25 years have I sweated it and then watched as the Lord said, you didn't need to sweat it, just trust me. We are still praying for you in this challenge. A prayer that would include an outpouring of God's abundance and tapping into God's economy. Please also pray as we all get informed on some new Church Planting ideas that will be introduced at the Missionary Retreat. I feel quite confident that we will reach some amazing Church Planting goals in the next 5-10 years. Blessings to
all......Bob & Carol

Thank you all for your prayers Psalm 86.7 I will
