Over the next few months, please intercede for two new Bible studies that have just started in Iceland. One is English-speaking and the other is Icelandic-speaking. Intercede with the ICELAND TEAM (CALYPSO NORTH CLUSTER) for 2 nationals, as they lead the Icelandic study, and for a team member, as he leads the English one. Petition that many will be confronted with the gospel through this and that the Spirit will draw people to Himself.

In an eastern European country, every year during visa obtaining time, the government puts up more and more hoops to jump through, in order to get that very important document for another year. Please intercede for a family serving with the CENTRAL CATHOLIC CLUSTER, as they finish the process and find out in the next 2 weeks, if they may remain in this country for yet another year.

Intercede that workers in the CZECH REPUBLIC (ROMA CLUSTER) will be able to develop stronger relationships with their national brothers and sisters, as they work to turn a Bible study into a church. May the Father do the work and receive all the praise and also help them to trust His plan and not theirs.

More Prayer Requests

A member of the BLACK SEA ORTHODOX CLUSTER shares, “A key individual in our ministry to adult orphans has accepted Christ and has experienced a remarkable transformation.  Her life had been filled with abandonment, sex slavery, prostitution, drugs, violence… But now she is active in bringing others to church and to their Heavenly Father.  Her goal is to become a Bethlehem star that points others to the Son.  Please intercede that E.’s faith will be strengthened as she endures tremendous pressure and persecution.  Pray also for our efforts to find work and means of income for her and other adult orphans.”

Romany people love to party.  Dancing and drinking is a highlight as families celebrate.  Unfortunately, few Romany know the true reason to celebrate – that God sent His Son to be the Savior of the world.  Intercede with members of the DIASPORA CLUSTER in BRAZIL that Romany will come to understand who Jesus is and why He came.
