November / December Prayer Update

November

Praise the Lord that Pat Weathersbee and Jerry Skifstad have arrived back for home service!! Please continue to pray for the Thomas family as they have a bit more support to raise before coming to Lubin. Pray that they'll be able to come soon.

25th-26th - We will be having our English classes Thanksgiving parties. We have done this every year and for some students it's their 3rd or 4th time and for others, it's their 1st Thanksgiving party at the "Logos" Language Center. Parents are invitedto come as the children ages pre-school through first year junior high put on a program. We will be having four separate parties due to our limited space and the amount of students we have enrolled this year. For the adults, there is a real turkey dinner. Please pray for the Holy Spirit to move in the hearts of the students and parents. Pray for good conversations and the Lord to use this event to bring people to Him.

29th - We'll be visiting a church plant in Opole, two hours from Lubin. This is a church where fellow SEND missionaries are serving. Paul will be speaking about the Lord's working throughout his parent's ministry in Indonesia. It's a reflection of our time spent there this past summer. Pray for the Lord to use this messge to encourage, strengthen and challenge the believers in this church.

December

We don't have an exact date yet but around the 16th or 17th - We will have our annual Christmas party for our English classes. Agian, please pray that the Lord would use this event to bring students closer ot Christ and understand how they can have a personal relationship with Him.

18th - We will be hosting a Christmas concert outreach where we will invite our friends to listen to those singing and playing various instruments. We will sing carols together and share the message of Christ. Pray for all who are invited to come and for the Lord to work in a mighty way during this celebration evening.

Weekly

Tuesday mornings - Men meet for an early morning prayer time before work. Pray for the Holy Spirit to speak to ech man through conversation with Him.

Wednesday mornings - Women meet for Bible study at 8.15 (before work) for about an hour. The ladies have been looking at women in the Bible. Please pray that the ladies would grow deeper in their walks with the Lord.

Friday evenings - The King's Bible Study, a Bible study held in English, continues to meet every Friday. It as been a joy and very encouraging to see the desire to learn more about God. It's not only an opportunity to learn some more English, but it's mainly to discuss truths from God's Word. There have been good discussions. Pray tht God's Word would speak to each heart every Friday evening during the studies.

Monday - Thursday - English classes are held each of these afternoons. We're so glad for the contacts and friendships we've been able to have through this means of outreach. It's definitely English learning ut we talk about spiritual things whenever we have the opportunity. It's been a lot of fun. Please continue to pray for spiritual fruit!
