Prayers from around the world will make a difference around the world. Let's Pray!
The devil cannot stomach or stand when the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is being preached and proclaimed. He especially despises it when lost souls are being saved and the redeemed are being discipled. I have what I believe to be an urgent prayer request from our Missionary friend in Croatia Sam Ward.
Will you pray? Will you come down and get into the battle of interceding prayer? Please share this prayer request with as many as possible. The fight is real, but Jesus is our victor.
Prayer Request:
The devil is working hard to destroy our work with the Gypsies in the village of Kuršanec.
The Gypsy people tend be extremely emotional and very volatile, so working with them is very difficult to start with.
Lately several backsliders (in their twenties) started returning to services just to create disruptions and cause distractions. To them it was funny, but it sure put a heavy burden on my heart. Of course, we want to see people get right with God and do right, but these just want to destroy the work. They refused to accept rebuke, saying they would do whatever they wanted, so I had to let them know they were not permitted to return to our services.
These have the potential to turn others in the village against us, and create a great deal of trouble, so we need prayer.
Most Gypsies in a particular village are related in some way, so they tend to stick together.
This type of behavior is seen in all ages. Just this morning, a young boy, about 10 years old, opened the door during our children’s service and threw several dead birds at the kids who were attending, just trying to ruin the service for everyone.
We really want to see a church grow right here in the midst of the darkness, but we sure need God’s help.
Thank you for all your prayers and encouragement.
