Eager May 2009 Prayer Update

Prayer Update

1. April 18th – 19th, we had the third annual Gospel Workshop where people learn songs through teachers (from England and Cracow) and give a concert Sunday evening. We really prayed that the Spirit would move and touch people's hearts. We believe He did and our prayer request now is that the Lord to continue working as we think of follow-up and for the salvation of several of the musicians who played in the band that are not saved. Pray for their salvation.

2. We still have a little more than a month of our English classes at the Coffee House. Spring fever has hit and many of the students would rather be outside than in the classroom! Pray as we finish the year (until June 10), that we would be faithful to prepare lessons and have good opportunities to talk about the Lord. Pray for spiritual fruit.


3. The King's Bible Study - (Our Great King’s Word is greater than the “Queen’s English” which by the way British English is taught here.J) This study is done Friday evenings in English geared for our English students. This is what we have prayed and longed for. We have been studying the parables and prayer. Our English students haven't come necessarily but others have been faithful and excited to come. There are contacts through English students and church people. Pray again for Spiritual fruit.


4. Our kids have school trips coming up. Andrew goes with his class from May 20-22 and Aaron goes with his class May 25-June 5. Pray for safety and fun and for them to be good witnesses.


5. Our church is doing well although it's still very small and it's still like a desert out there as far as Poles understanding their need for a personal Savior. People in church are growing in their walk and we have wonderful fellowship times. Please pray for a pastor in the right time. It's exciting because an elder/council group was just voted in. Pray for growth and Poles to come to Him. Pray for our contacts and friends to understand their need for Christ.


6. Pray for Jerry Skifstad (SEND Missionary) and Bruce and Linda Thomas (World Venture) as they raise support. They would all love to be here by the end of the summer. Jerry will be working with the youth and the Thomas’ will be teaching in the Language Center. We are looking forward to them joining us.
This field (Lubin is in the background) our children are sitting in will be physically harvested in several months – Please continue to pray for a great SPIRITUAL harvest in Poland!

I just wanted to tell you that I love getting your newsletters. Rich went for an early bike ride this morning, so I've just spent some time with the Lord and in prayer for you. I'm not good at keeping in touch, but I think of you and pray for you often. Your children are precious, and you are such an encouragement to me.
