Mary
Ratter (ex Whitley Bay)
and other
Katoka
folk inform us that next weekend a baptismal
service is planned at
Katoka,
and 14 young people who have been attending
classes will be baptised. Please
pray
that it will be a happy and challenging day
for all concerned.
TANZANIA
John Hanley
(from Auchlochan House) is spending
four weeks in East Africa from
16th
June-16th July, travelling from
Burundi
to eastern Congo where some Christian
refugees have resettled, and then to
Tanzania
to revisit Congolese refugee camps. Much of
the time he will be with
Harry
Johnson and his son, who work in East
Africa. The days will be filled with
preaching and Bible teaching, as well as
distributing funds to relieve the extreme
poverty of these refugees. Please
pray
for health, strength and protection. The
political situation is still unstable.
Please also remember
the GLO
teams in
Tanzania
(Moshi/Dar-es-Salaam, 13th-28th June).
JAPAN
David
and Esther Dexter (Miyazaki) are
grateful to those who
prayed
for the special meetings with the visiting
speaker over the past weekend. The Bible
teaching time for believers on Saturday went
well, in spite of heavy rains. On Sunday,
five visitors came for the first time, plus
an extra child.
Pray
that God will continue to speak to them
through the clear, simple message that was
preached.
EASTERN
EUROPE
Please
pray
for Martin
and Margaret Baker as they visit
believers in Serbia from
19th
June-2nd July. As usual,
Martin
will be giving ministry from the Word of
God.
FRANCE
Please continue to
pray for
Alison Packer (Laval), who has had an
MRI scan to ascertain the cause of an E.
coli infection. She has an appointment to
see a specialist in Rennes on
1st July.
Please pray
that a solution to the problem may be found
and that any corrective treatment will be
totally effective.
SPAIN
Ken and
Alison Barrett (Madrid) ask for
continued
prayer for the city centre outreach
on Thursday nights, which
Ken
helps to lead. Many of the team members are
recent contacts from this preaching and need
to grow in grace, coherence and knowledge of
the Lord.
Pray for wisdom in these times of
interaction both with the team and with new,
interested contacts.
Please continue to
remember
Kath Wickham in your
prayers.
She is still in Intensive Care, on
mechanical ventilation and with some renal
dysfunction which is causing breathing
problems. Doctors will be making a decision
as to whether she should have further
surgery or not.
Pray
that this will not be necessary, as she is
very weak. Please also remember
Terry
during this anxious time.
GLO
TEAMS
Please remember
the GLO
teams in
France
(Quimper, 18th-30th June) and
Romania
(Talmaciu, 19th-29th June).
Pray
for safety of travel and good health for
team members, as well as for good working
relationships.
Pray,
too, for God’s blessing on the various
outreach activities taking place.
