JAPAN
Charles and Rita Lawrence (Fukushima) request
prayer for their
overnight camp, to be held on
22nd and 23rd July.
Pray for the extra
helpers and for the unsaved folk who will be there.
Noel Hamilton advises that there has just been
another earthquake in Japan. At least five people have died
and hundreds have been injured. Houses and bridges have come
down, and there has even been a fire at a nuclear power
station. Noel felt the quake quite strongly in
Koshigaya, even
though the epicentre was a couple of hundred miles away.
Please pray for the
victims.
Ken and Christine Cowell (Kushiro) are delighted to
report that Mr Suzuki,
one of the students for whom
prayer has been requested has now professed faith in
Christ. He was especially helped by a DVD on the subject of
evolution. He said that evolution had been his ‘oasis’, but
now his oasis was God. Please
pray that he will
grow in his faith. Prayer
is also requested for a special women’s outreach on
18th July, and the
monthly English service on
22nd.
ARGENTINA
The last two weekends in July,
Heber Gallitto (Parana)
will be involved in conferences in
Jujuy (not a spelling
mistake!) Please pray
that the Word given will be of the Lord and to the benefit
and growth of the believers there.
CANADA
Peter Smith gives the following initial report of the
Tent Mtgs. being held in
Port Coquitlam (see July monthly Missionary Prayer
Newsletter). “This morning saw the start of two weeks of
children's meetings.
We had 44 kids and 7 or 8
parents from the community, including a couple of Dads. The
children listened well and so we hope many of them will be
able to attend regularly. Last week saw encouraging support
from the local believers, with the last 4 adult meetings
seeing over 70 in attendance. Most meetings have seen
several unsaved adults, including several Chinese contacts.
There have also been a number of families present, so please
pray
also for believer's children, thank you.“
ETHNIC MINORITIES
Ruth Cushing asks us to
pray for the
protection of her car. Vandalism is a frequent occurrence in
her neighbourhood, and recently she had three windows
smashed in 24 hours, and four replaced in 11 days. Garages
are hard to come by, so for the moment she is parking in a
place which is five minutes’ walk from her home. Please
pray for a solution
to this problem.
FRANCE
Danielle Gilbert (Concarneau) requests
prayer for an
evangelistic youth group which is coming to the church from
20th-30th July. The
local authorities have allowed them to hold two afternoon
open-air sessions, when members of the group will sing, mime
and bring God’s Word to the people of the town. Please
pray for a good
interest and that contacts will be made during these events.
ITALY
Leo
and Angela Isac request prayer for a busy time ahead.
The GLO team starts
at
San Miniato (Tuscany)
on 19th July, running
till 30th. They then
move on to Enniscorthy,
in the Republic of Ireland, where
Leo has been asked to
cover the Bible teaching for the
GLO team there, from
4th-18th August.
Please pray for
physical strength and for safety as they travel to different
areas of work.
