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.

Did you notice?  Something has happened – something unfavorable at least for a few.  The winds of change have blown against the Serbians in Kosovo.  Once part of greater Serbia the Republic of Kosovo declared independence in February 2008, making Serbians living there only a small minority of the population.  The Serbians stand resolutely against the declaration of statehood for Kosovo, and continue to see themselves as part of a pan-Serbian state.  Most are strong adherents of the Serbian Orthodox Church and a minority is Roman Catholic, but few have a saving faith in Christ.  Intercede that a new wind will sweep over the Serbians in Kosovo – a wind stirred by the life-giving breath of the Holy Spirit.

Members of the DIASPORA CLUSTER in AUSTRALIA write, “O. and R. have been training disciples in their homes for several weeks.  Intercede that these believers will be bold in their witness to the lost and faithful to train other believers to become effective disciple-makers.“

Members of the DIASPORA CLUSTER in AUSTRALIA request intercession for a new group that has been meeting for the last month.  Petition that those attending, who are not-yet-believers, will come to a point of decision and commitment.  Intercede that this group will continue to grow not only in numbers, but also in faith.

On Fri., May 18, members of the WESTERN MEDITERRANEAN CLUSTER will be modeling and assisting potential house group leaders from two churches and a mission point in how to use the discovery Bible study questions to lead small groups regardless of where they might meet.  They rejoice that there are Spanish pastors involved, who not only have given this their blessing, but whose desire is to equip as many people as possible to use this tool for starting groups that hopefully will multiply.  Intercede for those who will either be leading and modeling, as well as those who will begin leading groups.
