Praise

• Language school

Praise God for our students (children and adults) and parents of our students.  God has given us many possibilities for sharing our faith through the building of relationships.

• Baptism / Salvation

We are praising God for the first baptism that we had.  It was encouraging seeing Andrew and Dorota desire and follow Christ in baptism. 

• Land

It is a real blessing and encouragement receiving land.  Praise God for His provision.

• Bible Camp

Praise God for the Bible camp this summer.  The 20 young people who attended heard the Gospel clearly.  We are thankful for McCoy Baptist group who came to help us. 

• Gospel Jam

Our II Gospel Jam Session went really well.  We believe that it led people closer to God.  Most that attended do not have real faith. 

Prayer:

• Marriage Conference

On the 24th of September we are hosting a marriage conference.  Please pray for all the organizational aspects but most importantly for people’s souls.  As the Gospel is shared during the conference, please pray for a clear working in people’s hearts and minds.

• Gospel Jam

On the 5th of November we will be having our third Gospel Jam.  We pray that the time we spend singing Gospel will be more than just a good time singing Gospel but it will be a time also reflecting on the powerful words that are being sung.  We want this to be a time that would draw people closer to God.  Pray that participants would see their need for Him.

• Film Night

On the 7th of October we are beginning a film discussion evening.  Our first film will be Apollo 13. We will watch and then discuss the film from a Christian perspective

• Language School

“Logos” Language Center started last week.  Please pray for the teachers – wisdom in teaching good English, boldness in clearly presenting the Gospel through their teaching.  Pray for the 110 students and their parents (some are adults) that their eyes would be open and they would see the emptiness of religion.  May they find an everlasting relationship!

• Kids

Please pray for Andrew, Aaron and Alaina that they would be strong in their faith and hold to the truth.  Pray that they would have opportunities to share about the relationship they have in Christ.

• Unbelievers

Some of those who come to the fellowship still have not publically made a decision for Him.  Pray for their salvation.  Pray for the Holy Spirit to work in their hearts.

• Small Groups

We are looking at forming small groups that would meet during the week.  We already have one group and a ladies group starting soon. 

• Building a building

Prayer for wisdom and the resources to build a church building that would serve the community in the best way possible.  It could be really easy to build a building and forget the people. 

The theme in our newsletter is, „Prayer At Unexpected Times Brings Results”.  We are so thankful for those that have faithfully been praying.  We want you to know that God is working in us and in those around us.   

• May 21 Ladies’ Tea – Pray for each woman that comes to the tea that they would be encouraged, strengthened, blessed and saved (if needed).  Also for follow up with the women that come.
• May 26 Philadelphia Biblical University Choir – Pray that once again the Gospel would be boldly proclaimed and that those that come to the concert would see their need for a Savior and not just religion. 
• May 28 Gospel Jam – This is a follow up to our Gospel Workshop in April.  Pray for those that will come.
• June 3 Men’s get together – As the men get together from the church, we ask for the strengthening of our relationships and good fellowship.
• June 11 Block party – Prayer for opportunities to make Christ known in the community surrounding the church.
• July 25 – 31 Bible Camp – A team from McCoy Memorial Baptist Church (Elkhart, Indiana) and those of us in the church plant will be involved in the first Bible Camp the church has had.  Pray for great unity among the entire staff, many kids to sign up, boldness in teaching and changed lives.

 2. Jerry, our teammate, is going on home service in June and Lord willing, is planning on returning in December – Pray for his time in the US.

 3. The on-going land and building process.  The church is in the process of acquiring land from the city for us to buy it at 1% of its value.   The City Council only needs to vote on it to make it official.

 4. For planning and implementing a small group strategy for church growth – Wisdom as we begin looking at forming small groups among church members.

 5. Pray for those that are in the church but not yet saved.

 6. Pray for the two ladies that made a profession after our Gospel Workshops and the drummer and his friend that asked for prayer.

 7. We are thankful for Louise Eisenhauer who could be with us for the last 6 weeks.  She has been such a blessing.

 8. We are thankful how mission work has and is impacting our own lives.

 9. We are praising God for the forward momentum of work with the youth.  Every other week the youth have been meeting for Bible study and prayer.  There have been some good, fun relationship-building activities also.

 10. We are praising God for how those in the church plant are starting to see their God given gifts and how they can be used within the local body.

 11. Wisdom in being more proactive in discipleship.
