Ken and Christine Cowell are sorry to advise that
their gospel choir was not able to perform at the local
festival mentioned last week, due to heavy rain earlier in
the day. However, they were encouraged on Sunday when a
university student professed faith in Christ. He had come
for the previous four Sundays and had shown greater interest
each time. Do pray
for his growth in the Lord.
BRAZIL
Jeff and Denise Watson (Foz) request
prayer as they appear
in court on Tuesday 7th

pray for guidance and
wisdom in how they respond, so that a resolution to the
problem will be found and that glory to the Lord will be
evident.
CANADA
Thank you so much for your
faithful
prayers for the tent outreach in
Port Coquitlam, BC.
The children's work saw the numbers average in the
mid-forties for the second week. At the final meeting, 14
adults attended (including 3 new faces) along with 50 kids.
In total 97 children attended with two thirds from the local
community and not linked to any Gospel Hall. Their behaviour
was excellent and they listened well. Please
pray
that the Lord will be pleased to bury His Word deep into
their young souls and that we shall yet hear of some young
one being saved. Another great encouragement was to receive PBS
applications from 34 children and 9 parents. Please
pray
with us that each of these will become a consistent student,
thank you. The final adult meeting topped 100 but the
greatest joy was to be told by
Arlene, as she shook
my hand - "Tonight
is my night, I'm saved and I have peace here" - as
she placed the other over her heart! To God be the glory!
Please
pray that she will go on for the Lord.
Pray
on too for Herta. She
attended almost every meeting in the final week and also
brought her husband Victor
to the last two meetings. Apparently last year he wasn't at
all interested.

will have an impact on these young lives.

The team will be involved in

a youth night, a women’s evening and a quiz night.
Pray that invitations
given out will bear fruit and that the Lord would use the
various events to bring people to faith in Him.

good weather.
SPAIN
Ken and Alison Barrett request
prayer for the
evangelistic effort centring its effort on
Moana, in western

days and Ken will be
helping a group to work on their sketch-board open-air
preaching for the first half of the campaign.
Moana is a small town
where young national workers have concentrated their
church-planting efforts for the last two years. Please
pray for fruit for
their labours and growth in grace and joy among this young
team and the local churches they represent.
