ANGOLA
Ruth Hadley (Saurimo) would appreciate prayer for the work in the school at Camundambala. Please pray that as the Scriptures are taught and choruses are sung each day that the seed of the Word of God will be sown in their lives. Please also pray that two of the teachers at the school will be able to be put on the government payroll, a process which is made more difficult due to corruption.

Also please pray for the situation in Angola. The country has been in financial crisis for the last year. Many commodities are no longer available with prices rising steeply.  Salaries have remained the same for the Angolans making life extremely difficult for many people.

Jonathan & Ruth Singleton have returned to Angola for 2 months  from the beginning of July. They will be based in Camundambala. Jonathan will be spending his time (a) sorting out container goods (b) doing building maintenance work (c) shoring up Ruth Hadley’s kitchen sink units. Ruth Singleton hopes to be teaching in the school during the day, and at night supporting the boarding children.

They need prayerful support for this visit that glory might be brought to God in every detail. Please pray for health, safety, strength, & wisdom.

ETHIOPIA

Robert Revie sends the following update:

“I spoke to a packed hall in Batie.  The interest has been so good recently that the believers are going to be extending the hall because of the numbers attending the meetings, which is most encouraging.  After I spoke one of the elders spoke in detail about how much the believers in Batie had appreciated the work that Sheena had given to their area.  When I thought of the love and respect that the believers displayed it brought floods of tears and I was truly broken.  The work of compassion is wonderful, with 250 children in their care – 87% from Muslim homes.  Who knows what will be the result in a few years from such a ministry”.

MALAWI
Jonathan Newell (DPG Malawi 2002-2013) – Jonathan will be visiting Malawi from 2nd – 11^th July to take photographs for a new book intended to help Malawians understand Christianity. The visit will also involve preaching and teaching. Pray for safety of travel and that he will be a blessing to all those he meets.

ZAMBIA

Barry & Rachel Haigh are due to leave Nyangombe at the end of July for S. Africa, where he has a number of speaking engagements, prior to their return to the UK. Barry has been giving Bible teaching at the Nyangombe Christian Training Centre, and also taking various  meetings, including a 3-day outdoor conference  which 548 people attended. He had planned to speak on parts of John’s Gospel, but they were adamant that he spoke on the Second Coming. Please remember them in prayer.

Timothy and Joy Beer (Loloma)would value prayer for the senior boys’ camp which will be taking place from 1-5^th July. Please pray that those who attend will be receptive to the gospel and that many will be saved.

They would also appreciate prayer for more workers to join them in Loloma as two of their workers were called home last month. Pray for the family and friends of these workers and for those taking on the additional responsibilities. In addition, pray for a couple who have recently reunited after the wife left a year ago. Pray that the Lord will help them to rebuild their marriage.

·  PREPARATIONS for the 4 Children’s Series in July/Aug – 3 new themes & 1 new serialised story. The first one is in a Tent at Roseisle, beginning 4th July.

· ROSEISLE TENT – God will truly speak to some of the lads who have attended for several years.

· WINKLER TENT – For renewed contact with those who attended the previous past 3 kid’s series. For 2 couples to come back, who showed real interest over our 7 Monday nights last winter.    Also that Jack Gould & I will have real help in preaching the Word and for the Lord to be glorified.

· Please pray that accommodation arrangements will be available at Winkler.

· PORTAGE TENT – that the Lord will save among our own 23 families. (linked to both assemblies)

· PBS CENTRE – Please pray with us that the monthly support for PBS would significantly increase, to enable us to continue to freely distribute approximately 2300 Bible lessons each month. There is also the pressing need for more new teachers, especially to mark NewLIfe.

· NEWLIFE PROJECTS – that time will be found to keep these both ticking over during our busy summer schedule, so that the good progress made in recent months won’t be set back again.

MACEDONIA
Olive Wilson (Bitola) would appreciate prayer as the church have recently been notified that they will have to leave the shop where they have been meeting for the last 15 years. It has proven difficult to find somewhere suitable due to high rents in the market area or proximity to residential flats. Please pray that somewhere suitable will be found where their literature can be displayed and distributed. In the meantime, they will use the Evangelical Church’s hall for Lord’s Day and will meet in someone’s home for prayer and Bible study during the week. In addition, please pray for the political situation of the country. Protests against the government have been taking place every evening in Skopje, Bitola and other towns for well over a month. Pray for a peaceful solution to the crisis and for the Macedonian people in general.

ROMANIA
Tim and Jenny Gooding (Cluj) would value prayer for the construction of the Children’s Home that they are building at the rear of their house.

They hope to have up to ten children stay there, from the age of two years old and upwards. These children will have been abandoned by their parents at birth and put into a centre for protection of children. If they are not adopted by the age of two, homes need to be found for them where they can remain until they are at least 18 years old. Please pray as they select suitable staff to cook and clean and take care of the children. Jenny will be the administrator for the day to day running of the home and will supervise the cooking and cleaning staff. In addition, please pray for the work amongst the poor families in their village (Gilau), their bible study groups and ministry in the Cluj assembly and the local gypsy church.
