Burdens related to Europe (week of 17 January 2016)
1) Gospel trips to Europe (beginning 21 January)
Approximately 250 saints will participate in the FTTA gospel trip to Germany from 21 January through 4 February. They will visit the four cities of Dusseldorf, Berlin, Stuttgart, and Frankfurt. This will be a critical step in the labor in Germany to reach the refugees (more than a million have migrated to Germany). We are looking to the Lord to have the wisdom and prudence to bring the high gospel, the gospel of the kingdom, to the refugees. This gospel trip will pave the way for seven more gospel trips that will be a follow-up of further labor through June. One of the major goals is to gain regular contacts among the refugees to both learn German and pursue the truth. Because most of the saints who are participating on these trips speak only English, there is a desperate need for translators in German, Farsi, and especially Arabic. Further information concerning the follow-up trips and an application to participate can be obtained by visiting http://germany2016.amanatrust.org.uk.
Please pray:
• That the Lord will gain key persons for His move in Europe and the Middle East
• That the Lord will be able to obtain translators for the follow-up trips
• That the Lord will bless our “five loaves and two fish” for the FTTA gospel trip to Germany
• That the Lord will protect His 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 among the refugees as they enter Europe. A small number of the FTTA trainees who travel to Europe will participate in these distributions. Please pray that the word of God will spread among the seeking ones and will lead them to salvation and open them be shepherded into the church life.

4) Seminars in three cities in Romania
Please pray for the ongoing seminars in Bucharest, Resita, and Deva-Hunedoara to contact the readers of the ministry, and pray for the organic increase of the churches through these seminars.
5) Continuing distribution of ministry publications and shepherding of seeking ones
Please pray:
• For the radio broadcasts in the UK, Sweden, and Spain and the continuing distribution of the New Testament Recovery Version and other free ministry publications in all the European languages.
• For the shepherding of the seeking ones and their entering into the church life.
6) The raising up of the Lord’s testimony in major cities in Europe, including Lisbon, Portugal; Krakow, Poland; Budapest, Hungary; Vienna, Austria; Sofia, Bulgaria; Thessaloniki, Greece; Zagreb, Croatia; Belgrade, Serbia; Geneva and Zurich, Switzerland; Bilbao, Spain; Hamburg, Frankfurt, and Munich, Germany; and Tirana, Albania.
