DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO

Mary Ratter (Katoka) asks for prayer this week, when the Governor will be visiting the area and coming to see the hospital at Katoka. Pray that this will be a God-honouring occasion.

 

 

 

 

MALAWI

Jonathan and Ruth Newell have been sent a container from Medical Missionary News and ask for prayer that they will be able to get this released from Customs without any problems.

Please pray for Janet Stafford of Torch Trust for the Blind, who hopes to visit Malawi from 20th July until 4th September. During that time she will also make some visits to Mozambique. A young man from her assembly in Leicester will be travelling with her. He, along with two other believers from the UK, will be renovating a resource centre for blind children in a primary school in the Shire valley.

JAPAN

Ken and Christine Cowell (Kushiro) would value prayer for the second part of their Prayer Ministry Counselling Course, which takes place from 25th to 27th July. Prayer is also requested for two Gospel Choir Workshops in two venues. The first is on 26th July in a town 60 miles from Kushiro, where several unbelievers will be taking part for the first time. The second workshop is in Kushiro on 27th, and the person leading it is a keen Christian. Ken will be giving short messages at both places. Last week nine members who aren’t Christians came for a cell meeting, and another lady who trusted the Lord earlier this year plans to be baptised in September. Give thanks for these encouragements.

PAKISTAN
Dr Haroon and Miriam Lal Din, from Kunhar Christian Hospital, are currently on a year’s sabbatical. Liz Greig asks for continuing prayer regarding the scarcity of doctors at the Hospital. A Dutch doctor is coming on 27th July to help for a month, but after that the Pakistani doctor, Dr Irene, will be on her own.

It is a 20-bed hospital with a staff of 52. Housing for families and single staff and other facilities are also available. The Lord has used the medical and evangelistic work for His glory - even more so in the post-earthquake years.

SPAIN

Ken and Alison Barrett (Madrid) thank those who prayed for permissions for the Azuqueca de Henares family outreach. Praise God that most of these have been granted – at least verbally. Please continue to pray for the open air programme, which runs each evening until 26th July; especially that firm contacts will be made with local families. In Madrid city centre, the local police are trying to remove all ‘street performance’ in order to reduce cover for pickpockets. Pray for wisdom and adaptation for the leaders of the open air work, as they are using other less ‘prime’ sites to carry on the testimony.

LOCAL

The Open Air witness continues on Sunday at 5:30 pm.

David Cartwright is responsible for the Gospel Service at 6:30 pm.  Please pray that there will be those present whose hearts the Lord will touch.
