During the SBC Convention in June a new emphasis called “EMBRACE” was launched.  Embrace the Ends of the Earth is a call for Southern Baptist Churches to make a serious commitment toward personal involvement in engaging the approximately 3,800 Unreached Unengaged People Groups (UUPGs) around the world.  Churches are being encouraged to adopt a people group for whom they will commit to pray.  In response to this emphasis, our affinity will be producing new materials to highlight European UUPGs.  Please ask for wisdom for those deciding what to produce and for access to reliable information about these people groups.  Petition for quality materials to be developed that will effectively convey information that will raise awareness of these UUPGs and assist churches and individuals, as they commit to intercede for them.

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.

Members of the BLACK SEA ORTHODOX CLUSTER in ROMANIA request intercession for their small group that has agreed to start an outreach to non-believers through conversational English classes. The group presented this idea to church leaders and it seems that the whole church will have an opportunity to join in to reach the lost for Christ.  There will be a meeting on May 20 to discuss details and get the ball rolling.  Petition the Father to lead and direct this effort.

TEAM SOCHI (BALTICS and EUROPEAN RUSSIA CLUSTER) request intercession for two volunteer teams coming this month.  The first is a WMU team coming to lead seminars in three locations to encourage and equip women to reach their lost neighbors, family members and friends.  The second team is from the BSU of the Air Force Academy.  They will be helping in an English Conversation Course.  Please intercede that these teams will be able to accomplish all that the Father has called them to do.
