FRANCE

David and Brigitte Sutherland (Arras) request prayer for a mini Bible school for 18-25 year-olds being held on 9th January, 6th February and 20th March. Please pray for those who lead and for the students.

Yannick and Margaret Ollivier  (Quimper Region) report that Margaret was allowed home on the Saturday after her operation, and has not been in any pain. Also, the baby is still active and putting on weight and one of the lungs seems to have developed to normal size. However, it is early days, and continued prayer would be valued.

 

REPUBLIC OF IRELAND

Andrew and Lorna Burt (Enniscorthy) have given out Christian calendars to those who attended Christmas events at the church and also other friends and contacts, including patients and staff in an old people’s home. Pray that these will be read and prove a blessing to those who received them.

SPAIN

Ken Barrett (Madrid) asks for prayer on Saturday 10th January, when a group of young people from a Madrid assembly will be visiting the historical archive. Pray that their interest will be kindled and that they will want to make use of this facility. Also on 10th, a cultural organisation set up by believers in Alcala will hold its first public activity – a ‘Chocolate’ evening. Pray that this will lead to positive contacts with people in the local community. On Sunday 11th January, the church at Alcala de Henares has its Annual General Meeting, when they will be discussing further autonomy for the offshoot congregation at Azuqueca, and how to be good stewards in the face of the economic downturn. Pray for love, wisdom and unity so that the Lord may be glorified.
