of boarding students, and also for the work carried out among the

INDIA

has been granted a visa to visit the UK, and should be present at
her daughter’s (Mrinalini) graduation at
Teesside University. This is an answer to prayer since the
visa application was first turned down, and then after appeal to the
authorities, was fairly quickly granted.
IRAQ
The result of what is
happening in Iraq is truly overwhelming and catastrophic. People who
once had homes, cars businesses and churches now have nothing. The
situation in Jordan is also desperate; every day more and more
refugees are entering the country. The men cannot work to support
their families; there is no Schooling and no health care.
Many children are
traumatised by the desperate situation which may affect them for the
rest of their lives.
Winter is approaching
and these families have largely fled with nothing to protect them
for the months to come.
Only the
Lord knows the outcome and whether this is in His purposes. For
ourselves, we can pray, especially for our
brothers and sisters in Christ, who will have been caught up in the
turmoil.
BOLIVIA
Mario and Helen Ponce (Cochabamba) - Pray
for nine people who are attending baptism classes. One of these
candidates, Johnny, made a commitment to Christ six years ago
after a request was made by Roxana, his girlfriend, for
Mario to visit Johnny in prison. It has been a hard road
for Johnny and Roxana, who have two young sons. Please
pray for this family.

Smith

ALBANIA
There are now
330 evangelical missionaries active in Albania, 160 of whom live in
the capital Tirana. They
come from Mexico, Brazil, South Korea, Holland, Germany, Italy,
America, Canada etc. During the past 20 years of evangelism, one in
every 175 Albanians has professed faith in Christ. Every major town
has several evangelical churches and the capital has well over 50,
some of which have well over 200 believers. Further a growing number
of villages now have evangelical churches. Glory to God for
what He has done during the past 20 years!
Enris Nase
(Tirana)
continues with prison ministry. Jehovah's Witnesses who have also
visited the prison are no longer welcome by the inmates, which has
given opportunity to answer many questions.
The
Bible Exhibition is now in full use.
The local Christians
are very impressed with what they are able to see and learn. Dozens
of non-Christians visit and Enris spends time
going around with them, explaining
the panels
and introducing them to the Gospel – for many it is the first time.
The Children’s Home at Gjirocaster
now only has 6 children. We are asked to pray for a suitable
person/couple to replace Marijan when she retires.

on her heart and for her salvation.

children than ever before.

NORWAY
Niklas & Ellen Kreander (Skien).
Praise
God Ellen is much improved and able to move around the house and go
for short walks. She is still suffering from occasional headaches
and dizziness but they are less frequent than they have been. They
thank the saints for all their prayers and would ask for continued
prayer for a full recovery. Please continue to pray
for them as a family.
