Burdens related to Europe (week of 22 October 2017)
1) Follow-up of the Bible distribution in Europe, especially in Germany
A total of 31,366 New Testament Recovery Versions were distributed in Germany during the two weeks following the ITERO in Leipzig. This large number indicates an unprecedented openness among the German people, especially the university students. A report on the Bible distribution activities will be forthcoming in the near future (see the next page for a report on the first week’s distribution on the Iberian Peninsula). Please pray:
- That all who received a Bible will read it and receive the light and life embodied in it
- That many seeking ones, especially the key ones, will be shepherded into the church life
2) Autumn European university conference in Oswestry, UK (3-5 November)
Please pray for this gathering of university students from all over Europe. Pray that:
- The Lord will release a timely word from the ministry and speak to each student personally
- Each student will love the Lord more and have a clearer vision of the Lord, His economy and heart’s desire, and His move on earth to build up His Body and prepare His bride
- Every attendee will have a fresh consecration to the Lord to be one with Him for His ultimate move
- This conference will advance the blending of all the students in Europe and give them the sense that they are members of the Lord’s one Body and of the one new man on the whole earth
2) The Lord’s move in Germany
Please continue to pray:
- That those who are in the process of emigrating to Germany will find housing and jobs (for the jobkeeping full-timers) and will obtain visas to live and serve long term in Germany

- That the Lord will send experienced brothers who can provide leadership to the work in Germany
