CZECH REPUBLIC - Samuel Barth Family. This week in Usti, I visited some middle schools to see if I could hold an after-school English club. Everyone received my offer with enthusiasm, inviting me to conduct the club during school hours. I told them I was a pastor and would like to talk about the Bible. That is fine!

ENGLAND - Reta Burns. We have been blessed with people coming to our Coffee Mornings outreach. One lady who stopped by is coming to church.

John Jones Family. Every Friday afternoon I meet with our men for prayer. Mary Anne is meeting with the women on Wednesdays. Already we have seen God work. Andrew, who had received a copy of our church paper “Crossroads” seven months ago, has recently been attending our church.

Marcia Kittleson. At our Saturday Afternoon Tea, we recently had 50 people come. We have opportunities to get to know the people and answer questions as they read the tracts on the tables.

Jack Moorman Family. The Muslim influence in London is very strong. A converted Muslim man from Lebanon told me that our approach in getting tens of thousands of JOHN ONE AND THREE tracts into the Asian areas of East London is one of the best ways of getting the Gospel to them. (Pray for the thousands of tracts Jack and Dot have given out in London.)

Glenn Palmer Family. Our Sunday school and church services have been increasing. Our outreach has brought in ten young people. The church has expanded with a family of five now attending.

Glenn Pizor Family. Glenn has been asked by Paul Olise, the head of the evangelism department of Birmingham City Mission, to join in an outreach of open air preaching in the city center, with permission from the city. Please pray that many souls will be saved.

Mickey Schrimshire Family. In our area of Staffordshire, we are ready to start a Bible Institute, we are crying out for a fulltime missionary to the deaf, and we have a young man God has called to start a new church in a growing town for which we have been praying.

ESTONIA – Andrew Bunnell Family. Here in Tallinn God has given us a wonderful meeting place, free radio advertising, and a nucleus of people for our new church. Through the work of our director, Brant Holladay, we have received permission from a copyright holder to print the Bible in the Farsi language – the language of Afghanistan and Iran.

FRANCE - Carey Abbett Family. We offered coffee to a man who was working on our house. He asked what the difference was between a pastor and a priest. More than an hour later, he told me he was almost persuaded. Please pray that he will be saved.

Danny Flowers Family. We are rejoicing that Janice led Nadine to Christ. And after almost two years of witnessing to Sergio, my 20-year-old teammate, he became the first soul saved from my basketball team!

Bob Huffman Family. Five of our young ladies followed the Lord in baptism on Easter Sunday. It was encouraging to hear how AWANA Clubs played a big part in bringing two of them to Christ.

GERMANY - Dan Dubbe Family. Many of our men are being involved in the service of our church, leading our Sunday services. We believe the church is ready to recognize some of the men as official leaders, which is important so the church can become an independent and self-governing assembly.

Walter Hornung Family. Because of our training program, we now have four men able to lead the song services, three of them are developing into good preachers.

Rodney Kidd Family. Our “mother and daughter” churches hosted two youth meetings and four people came to know the Lord. That includes a mother and her daughter who are the first ones to come to Christ from our new church.

HUNGARY - Marc Patton Family. Szandra, a junior in high school, was saved several years ago but her grandmother would not allow her to be baptized. Recently her grandmother had a change of heart and even attended the baptismal service.

LATVIA - Jonathan Thompson Family. One of the young men of our church brought his family with him. After my message on the shield of faith from Ephesians, this young man’s mother responded to receive Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior.

NORWAY – NEW BIMI MISSIONARIES Dwight and Ruth Talbot are beginning their ministry in the city of Stavanger. Please pray for them.

POLAND - Darrell Johnson Family. Irena’s daughter (24 years old) has been asking many questions about sin and salvation for a few months. It was wonderful to see her accept Christ. Pray for her father who is an atheist.

REPUBLIC OF IRELAND - Dan Canavan Family. The Lord answered prayer in Katrina’s baptism. Her family had argued that she was becoming a fanatic and stirred up fears in her 11-year-old son Callan. After I showed Katrina that baptism is the first step of obedience, she decided to follow the Lord in baptism.

Stephen Finley Family. At our Creation Conference, we had eight visitors. Two new families have visited our services, both professing Christians. We have had 32 visitors altogether since we started in June.

Don Thatcher Family. We have been ministering in Ireland for three and one-half years. God has blessed our church and we have been able to start a missions fund to be able to support a missionary.

Bob Zemeski Family. Oxana from Moldova wrote me a letter requesting a Bible study. She had received literature we put through her door over a year ago. We invited her over for dinner and that afternoon she trusted our Lord as Saviour.

Keith Herndon Family. The Bible Institute has gone well. We are still averaging 20-25 students.

Tim Tyler Family. The ministry here in Romania continues to grow. In the last week, there were five saved! Deb and I were able to lead the mother of one of our Junior Church kids to the Lord in her home.

RUSSIA - Duane Hearron Family. My father was visiting us. As he stood at a bus stop, Ivan Shadrin and his friend overheard my father speaking English. The two men approached my father, who promptly invited them to church. After attending for three weeks, Ivan was “ready to confess Christ as his own Lord and Savior.”

Toi Heinricy (serving Russians in Israel). The discipleship program for young people getting out of the military is going well. Over the past two months, I have seen their passion to know Christ and His Word.

Konstantin Kamilchu Family. Since arriving in St. Petersburg, we have been able to meet many people who need the Lord. Please pray for one family we have met and a professor at the local university that we can win them to the Lord.

Don Ossewaarde Family. The greatest blessing of the year was the salvation of Alex. After he was baptized, his wife Pollina also trusted Christ, and she was baptized later. Another praise - we all have our 5-year Russian residency permits.

David Sterling Family. We have finally received our residency permits, a great milestone for our work here in Russia. On the day of the coldest weather our area had seen for two years, we were excited to see over a dozen young people brave the 35 degrees below zero to attend our services.

Ron Winkler Family. A lady contacted us and asked if we would study English with her. I asked if she would be interested in studying the Bible, too. She is very interested and listens attentively. Please pray for Katrina.

Adam Young Family. Inna is our first Russian to go soul-winning with us in Samara. We witnessed to a nineteen-year-old named Stac. When I called him later, Stac told me that he had accepted Christ. This encouraged Inna, a novice soul-winner, to see that people do get saved.

SCOTLAND - Doug Cameron Family. God has provided a meeting place for Sunday afternoon and Wednesday evening services in the central town area of Troon. It has plenty of parking, a cooking area and handicap access…for only $8.00 per hour!

Arvin Devers Family. At Cockrane Primary School, we were allowed to tell the children the Easter story and to give them a beautiful booklet with the plan of salvation. A free Bible correspondence course for children was offered and we have had a great response.

Lea Devers. We have distributed hundreds of tracts in the Linwood area. Pray that God will bless our efforts.

Graham Forbes Family. Eight young people went with us to camp in Brecon, Wales. The best news of the week was Craig Macintyre. For three years Craig has fought against coming to the Lord, but at the camp the Holy Spirit called to him and Craig came to Christ.

Dennis Snelson Family. Joan was given a tract by one of the men in our church. When she heard that she was in need of a Savior, she received the Lord.

Tony Hess Family. God helped me to preach an entire sermon in Russian without an interpreter. Praise His name.

Matthew Hudson Family. Following a recent Sunday morning message, one man came forward and trusted Christ as Savior. Then later on, another man asked, “Is it too late to get saved?” He thought that since he didn’t come forward in the service, he had missed out completely. He trusted Christ right then.

Daniel Irvin Family. Vasil is a young man who lived a hard life. He got saved back in the summer of 2002. He followed the Lord in baptism. But recently Vasil suffer a brain aneurism and went to be with the Lord. Praise the Lord, he had accepted Christ.

Recently, we had 13 people come to pass out tracts. Two young children and their grandmother passed out 250 tracts in one hour.

WALES – Robb Redlin Family. One of our ladies asked us to visit her friend Louise who had questions about “spiritual things.” Louise was a bit nervous, having an American pastor come. I don’t remember anyone who was so ready to receive Christ. She said that it “just makes sense” and she accepted Christ.
