Burdens related to Europe (week of 7 February 2016)
1) Gospel trips to Europe (beginning 21 January and continuing through June)
We felt that the Lord blessed and covered us during the entire FTTA gospel trip.
Many of the saints testified that, as they went out and spoke, they felt that the prayer of the saints was covering them and opening the way in the gospel. The greatest response was with the refugees, but there was also a very positive response among the German young people on the university campuses. There were also some very positive experiences with the hired translators. There was one case where a group was not allowed to go into a refugee camp, so they spent the rest of that day enjoying The Mystery of Human Life with their translator. Later in the same trip, their translator himself started testifying and speaking to the refugees concerning his experience on the trip. The testimonies from the saints who returned from the gospel trip were very encouraging, with many testifying that their faith was greatly strengthened with the realization that the Lord is gaining every tribe and nation for Himself. During this gospel trip 1,973 persons were contacted for more than 30 seconds. There were 190 appointments, and 152 homes were visited. 156 were lead to pray to receive the Lord, and 4 were baptized.
Please pray for:
• The follow-up and continuing care of all the positive contacts from the FTTA gospel trip
• The coordination and strengthening of all the follow-up gospel trips
• The positive translators to be gained as real co-laborers in the gospel
