REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA

Rodney and Joy Brown (Cape Town) are in Vredenburg this week for outreach meetings. They are having children’s meetings from Monday to Friday in the mornings and holding gospel meetings in the evenings. Please pray for them as they travel, for help in all the practical arrangements, and that the gospel message sown will bear fruit.

 BAHAMAS

Mark and Carol Lacey say that there is still a great need for a Night Manager and Workshop Manager at The Haven and would appreciate prayer for these vacancies to be filled as soon as possible. Pray for Mark and Carol, too, as they spend some time in the UK.

CANADA

Peter Smith starts Tent Meetings on the 6th July in his home town of Portage. Local brethren Jim Webb and Andrew Bergsma will be alternating nightly in sharing the adult meetings with Peter. Please pray that they will know real help from above as they prepare ourselves and His Word for this outreach.

BELGIUM

Anne Dryburgh (Gent) asks for prayer for the summer camps which are beginning this week. She says these are important times for young believers, who tend to be isolated in their faith, and also for young people who are hesitating to make a commitment to the Lord because of the cost involved. Please pray that the Lord will work in the hearts of these young people during the camps.

 

 

FRANCE

Allan and Anne Kitt (Villefranche-sur-Saone) were encouraged by the baptism of Milly, who was mentioned on a previous update. The family for whom she has been working were all present at the baptism and she gave a very clear testimony. Pray that they will continue to be impressed by her witness after she leaves and returns to Kenya.

 GREENLAND

Hans and Jonna Sivertsen (Nuuk) have reminded us of camps starting now. The first of these is currently running with 25 nine-eleven year-olds attending. The second camp starts on 6th July, with 25 children aged 12 and 13. Three trips of wilderness camping will also be held on 1st, 8th and 15th July, with between 8 and 10 young people aged 14-17 on each trip. Please pray for the leaders and that the children will have fun, be kept safe and learn to trust the Saviour.

 

 

SPAIN

Please continue to pray for Ken Barrett (Madrid) as he trains people in sketch board evangelism for the summer outreach in Zaragoza during the international Expo 2008 exhibition which lasts from now until September. He will be there until Thursday 3rd July, and will then return to Madrid to lead the city centre evening evangelism there. On Friday evening, he and Alison will lead the last of a series of children’s open-airs in a park in Alcala de Henares. Pray that in each place God’s Spirit would bring conviction to the hearts of those who listen.

Kath Wickham (Valencia) - No update has been given concerning her condition, so this is a repeat of the previous week's prayer request. Kath continues in a very critical condition, with total mechanical ventilation and dialysis. The heart functioning is also receiving medicinal stimulation and she is heavily sedated. Please pray for Terry and the family at this difficult time. The church is being very supportive and the family is aware of the prayers of many.
