Burdens related to Europe (week of 3 July 2016)
1) Anti-terrorism law in Russia
On 30 June the upper house of Russia’s parliament approved an anti-terrorism law that places broad limitations on “missionary work,” including preaching, teaching, and engaging in any activity designed to recruit people into a religious group. Russian president Putin has not yet put the law into effect. Please pray that the heavens will rule and keep the door of the gospel open in Russia.
2) Student European blending trip (13-26 July)
A group of 27 saints, mostly students from the UK, will blend with the churches in Belgium (Brussels, Antwerp), Germany (Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf), and the Netherlands (Utrecht and surrounding localities).
Please pray for:
• The preparation of the students’ hearts and the Lord’s arranging and covering of all practical details
• That the Lord will impress the students with His Body and His move in Europe and that they will have the Lord’s fresh calling to consecrate themselves to Him and for His move
• The sweet blending with each locality and a rich supply of grace to the churches
3) UK exit from the EU
On 23 June the citizens of the UK voted to leave the EU. Please pray that the heavens will continue to rule over the entire situation and produce a result that is favorable to the Lord’s move in Europe.
4) The last week of the seventh follow-up trip to Germany
The seventh follow-up trip ended on 2 July. Please continue to pray:
• For the translators to be raised up and perfected to be our co-workers and for our own brothers and sisters who can translate to be able to come to Germany either by visitation or migration.
• That the refugees and German people who have been saved and gained through the gospel and follow-up trips will remain with the Lord and enter strongly into the church life.
• For meeting halls in Berlin and Düsseldorf that are adequate to meet the ongoing need.
• That the Lord will lead the responsible brothers concerning the way to continue the gospel and follow-up trips that were completed in the first half of 2016.
