Prayer Needs & Praise Reports

Imagine not telling anyone but the Lord what you need. Please join the brothers & sisters in Eastern Europe in lifting their often unspoken needs to our heavenly Father.

Scroll down for the latest prayer requests - updated the first week of every month

Like George Muller, who literally depended entirely, and only, on prayer to feed, clothe, house, and educate thousands of British orphans, the brethren in Eastern Europe often pray and fast and look directly to the Lord to provide for their needs

We Have a Thick "File-Full" of Stories About the Lord's Miraculous Answers to Your Prayers...

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Often, our teams arrive at a church or home and are met with exhuberant rejoicing as the Christians there tell our team members that they have been praying specifically for the Bibles and other items we brought!

In other cases, our teams can observe very clearly (i.e. without being told) what the needs are as we see a family with only a few pages of the Bible to read; or a home with a caved-in roof and broken/boarded windows; or empty food shelves; or no shoes in the dead of winter.

And, in still other cases, our teams are told by someone else about the needs being faced by new believers without a Bible; or a Pastor and family; a single Mom, a widow, an orphan, or street kids living without basic necessities...(including basic spiritual necessities such as a family Bible, a Pastor's Study Bible, a Children's Bible, and Sunday School materials).

They Can't Depend Upon Cash, Credit Cards or Bank Accounts

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGgg

Your prayers count for so much in Eastern Europe where cash is scarce and evangelical Christians usually can't just write a check or charge urgently needed items on a credit card. (And most consider a Bible to be an absolute necessity - asking for Bibles even before their "daily bread").

SEPTEMBER, 2010
PLEASE PRAY FOR...

...the 300 impoverished churches in the Union of Evangelical Churches in Moldova (who have NO Bibles and NO New Testaments to give to new believers and seekers). Pray they would receive the thousands of copies they have requested.

...Romanian evangelist, Vladimir Pustan, who says he doesn't have even one New Testament to give to the thousands who come to the Lord through his outreach to those who say they would never darken the door of a church.

...Pastor Peter and the Ukrainian government. The government has told Pastor Peter that the camp in the mountains of central Ukriane (where the children's & teen's Bible camps are held each summer) must pay US $20,000 in order to be granted a 49 year "lease" (despite the fact that the camp was legally bought and paid for by generous Christians in the USA and Western Europe). The government has also mandated that the camp build new restroom and shower facilities by next summer. Each year hundreds of street kids, orphans and kids from non-believing homes come to the Lord in up to seven one-week camps conducted during the summer months. Tragically, if the funds are not provided, the camp will be forced to close, perhaps as soon as next summer.

...In one of the Children's & Teen's Summer Bible Camps this summer ALL of the approximately 150 kids accepted the Lord as their Savior! As mentioned in last months prayer requests, you have fresh evidence that your prayers are bearing much fruit.

...the Lord to touch many hearts in the US to help provide for the heart-rending requests for many more Bibles - and other cries for help we hear from the poorest-of-the-poor.

...ongoing needs of the GNS teams, who often face difficult and time consuming border crossings. Please ask the Lord to grant us continued access, protection, and the resources to meet the needs He reveals to us on each trip.

PLEASE THANK THE LORD FOR...

The deep hunger for the Word and the pastors and evangelists who joyfully "sow" the seed of the Word to feed the weary souls in Eastern Europe.

...the present revival in Ukraine and Russia - may the work of the Lord continue and not be hindered or stopped.

...His presence, guidance, protection, and the many special (and sometimes miraculous) "encounters" the teams experienced this spring.
