would be appreciated for the flights east and for a smooth 12 hour
ferry crossing on Friday (4th Feb) to Labrador. With

pray that there will be
benefit to the local churches when they return home.
ALBANIA
Enris &
Sylvia Nase (Tirana) have visited “The
Hiding Place” at Gjirokaster
and report that it is at full capacity. The running of the home
remains a challenge for Marijan Nyhof
as she continues to pray for
a younger couple to take over this responsibility. The political
situation in Albania has caused the people to become very unsettled.
Prayer is asked that this
will not affect evangelistic activity within the country.

and Hannah Coombes ask for
prayer for the weekly Bible market stall in
Orange. They have been
encouraged lately with Bibles and Christian books being bought.

a small team in the translation of ‘Bibletime’
lessons from English to French, to be used by children and young
people in the French-speaking world.
Prayer
is asked that this new tool for evangelism will indeed prove to be
useful both in France and the many French-speaking countries in
Africa.
 Graham
& Alison Black (Bouc-Bel-Air) report that they are still very
much before the Lord regarding the need of a replacement studio
recording technician.
A young couple are showing an interest and
it looks as if they will be able to raise financial support and so
be able to come and work with us. They are French speaking and seem
to have the necessary skills to do the job. Nothing has been decided
yet and Graham & Alison would
ask us to pray for the Lord's
clear guidance for them in the matter.
IRELAND
Noel and
Liza McMeekin (Cootehill)
value prayer for the many
contacts made during November and December. In November every home
in Cootehill was visited with
a gospel magazine and in December gospel calendars and literature
were delivered within a 10-mile radius of
Drum. They have been able to
make good contacts with people that have a desire to learn
more. Most of them are from a Roman Catholic background and wisdom
is required to deal with them in an appropriate and sensitive way.
Andrew &
Gillian Shanks (Newcastle West) report that
“Joseph” is still in Ireland
and his judicial review has been put back to
February 7th.
