As we move into our 50 in 5 initiative, we are expectant to see God move mightily and draw many people to Himself. Already within the first six weeks of 2012, we have witnessed Him doing just that. A GEM team was in one of our target cities on a vision trip this past month and here are some of their testimonials of how the Gospel has spread:

Life has not been an easy road for Carlos*. The second eldest of 8 children, he grew up with a father who was an abusive alcoholic. Thankfully his mother, who became a believer when Carlos was small, sought to teach him God’s ways. She took him and his siblings to a Protestant mission but he never put his faith in Christ. Carlos never finished grade 4 and began working when he was 12. At 14 he found work at the local casino where he would work for the next 35 years until recently when he was let go.

Europe is Ripe for the Gospel

"I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. Even now the reaper draws his wages, even now he harvests the crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together." (John 4:35b-36) Even now as I think back to the six-day whirlwind trip through Madrid, Spain, Paris and Lille, France and Brussels, Belgium, I stand amazed at how God worked, not only in answering prayers, but in allowing me to participate with Him in leading eight people to Christ! God also opened my eyes to see that there are many other Europeans out there, like these eight, who are seeking and open to the gospel. My name is Dave, and I along with three others – Pete, Ken and Nora – were challenged to go to four major European cities to pray for them and see how God is working there.

  We are looking for intercessors for a current list of 7 cities in Europe. Those cities are Madrid, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Prague and Athens. Specifically, we are looking for people who are willing to pray that a gifted strategist for discipleship multiplication movements among European nationals, would be called to those cities (and others) and who would build a team for reaching the populations of those cities. We’d like prayer for the discovery of such persons and for the CityReach Team in Greater Europe Mission, as we seek to discover those called.  Please pray that the Holy Spirit would lead us to those He is calling to these cities.

This post is a follow up story and report we first shared with you in a previous post. You can find the first post here. More than 70 farmers attended two agricultural seminars in rural Bulgaria last month to learn first-hand how to obtain European Union subsidies as well as practical farming techniques, including preparing good soil, making liquid fertilizer and composting. Hosting these seminars allowed the team in Bulgaria to survey farmers in both regions to better understand their challenges and interests.
