Dear Friends:
We have two immediate “update prayer requests” for you today. Both are pressing needs at this very moment. God is able and so we call on you all to join with us for these two needs:
1. Snowstorm Strands Missionary Musicians
PRAYER ALERT!
Our Gospel Choir Director, Brian Fentress and his pianist, Jacek, went to Bulgaria to do a workshop. They were met by the pastor of the Razgrad Nazarene church yesterday. They are stranded in a blizzard in the Scar between Bucharest and Razgrad. They have not been able to move ahead, roads have been closed. Please pray for safety and the snow to clear. God can make a way…
2. Sweet Surrender Copenhagen needs our help!
This is today’s email from Katie:
Hi All!
I updated my blog. Check it out- http://katieraesadventures.blogspot.com
Things with the youth group have been really good. And things with my housemate I have been trying to work with have gotten better. We have finally connected, and I think that we are moving together in a good direction. But, things with the cafe group are not going as well. We are really at a hard place. We do not have the financial backing to be able to purchase a building. We also are in a desperate need for work teams. Truth is things do not look good at this moment. But, we continue to meet each week and try to figure out how we can pull it off. We are also planning monthly events to invite friends to and invest in relationships with friends outside of church.
Please pray for us as we try to figure out what we can do to make this possible. Thanks!
Love & Prayers,
Katie R. Fitch
Thank you all for joining us in prayer for these two needs. God knows the whereabouts of Brian and Jacek. Let’s pray for their safe travel to their next place of ministry.
The second request if for our missionary volunteer, Katie Fitch, who responded to our invitation for her to go to Copenhagen to help pioneer another Sweet Surrender Coffee House. Katie has been very instrumental in establishing our works in Poznan and Krakow. We believe that God has a way, through all of us and many others, to help bring this new outreach endeavor to fruition. Let’s all join her and the Nazarenes in Copenhagen in prayer for this new outreach ministry. And if God shows you how you can be a part of this through gifts or initiating a Work & Witness team to go and help them, so much the better. If you know of people who might be interested in this work but are not part of our Poland Partners, feel free to forward this information to them. God can do another miracle through us.
Finally, thank you all for your prayers in our transition. God is helping us!
Our love to you all,
Ev and Rhonda
