Burdens related to Europe (week of 3 January 2016)
1) Gospel trips to Europe (beginning 21 January)
Almost 200 trainees and serving ones will visit Europe for two weeks from 21 January through 4 February. Most of these will be sent to four key cities in Germany to contact the refugees from the Middle East who have been settled in and near those cities. The trainees and local saints may also distribute the New Testament Recovery Version in German to the German-speaking people. Before the gospel trip some of the saints who are currently serving in the UK will move permanently to Germany. After the FTTA gospel trip, follow-up gospel trips to Germany are planned, beginning on 14 February. The two main purposes of these trips are to shepherd the new contacts and to distribute Bibles. Further information concerning the follow-up trips and an application for those who desire to participate can be obtained by visiting germany2016.amanatrust.org.uk (this website should be available sometime this week) or by sending an email to germany2016@amanatrust.org.uk.
Please pray for:
• All the fellowship and coordination involved in preparing for the trips to Germany this year.
• The participation of the trainees and the saints throughout the recovery in the gospel trips.
• The contact with the chosen ones among the refugees and the shepherding of the seeking ones to bring them into the church life.
• The release of the word to seeking Germans and refugees throughout Germany.
• The reviving of the churches in Germany and the adding of new lampstands as a result of the labor in 2016.
• The move of the full-time serving ones from the UK to Germany.
• The Lord’s protection of His present move from the attack of the evil one, Satan.
2) Mass distribution of gospel and ministry materials
Plans are being made to have continuous two-week distributions of gospel and ministry materials in January and February. The next period is 9 to 19 January. Please pray that the word of God will spread among the seeking ones and will bring them into the enjoyment of the processed and consummated Triune God as the compound Spirit in the church life.
