Emanuel Hospice - accreditation obtained

Thank you for praying with us for Emanuel Hospice, which obtained the necessary accreditation for its social and medical services in February.

Please continue to pray for the Hospice as Director, Marinela Murg seeks a suitable piece of land on which to extend the Hospice's services to include a day centre.

Please also pray that a doctor may be found who is willing to be involved long-term with the Hospice's work and who can be employed full time.

Sombor, Serbia special needs retreat

Our partners Greg and Jelena Sivulka in Sombor are helping to plan a retreat for early April for families with children with special needs. They are expecting about 14 families and a number of these will not be Christians.

Please pray with us for Greg and Jelena, that all of the preparation will go well and that the retreat next month will be a source of encouragement and hope to those families, particularly any who are really struggling.

Please pray too for Greg and Jelena and their children. Their daughter Hana has special needs and they have recently come through a difficult time helping her. Please pray that the family may now enjoy a time of greater peace and that Hana may, once again, make progress.

Alpha training in Turkey

Earlier this month, two members of the Eurovangelism team helped run the first ever Alpha training for church leaders in Turkey. They were delighted that attendance was higher than they had expected and as a result two Alpha courses will be organised to run in Istanbul in the near future.

Please join us in praying for these courses, that they may be well run and that they will be able to clearly and effectively communicate the gospel to those who attend.It is hoped that there will be further training for leaders in other Turkish cities and that those who have been trained will encourage other church leaders to plan an Alpha course.

Pray that many people will be encouraged to attend the new Alpha courses and that lives will be changed as they come to know Christ. Pray too for safety for those who become Christians, particularly those who were Muslims, because this can result in ostracism by family members and losing ones job and livelihood.

Vance and Tanja Golomeov in Macedonia

Our partner Vance Golomeov in Stip, Macedonia has asked if we will pray about the ongoing back problems he has been suffering from for some time.

Vance has been in a lot of pain and discomfort, which has been affecting his ability to do his work. Please ask God if He will free Vance from this problem and give him wisdom as he seeks possible further medical advise.

Please also pray for his wife Tanja, who has recently had a baby.

Vance and Tanja live with their two young children and his mother in a small apartment and this can result in considerable stress at times. Please pray about this situation; ask God if He will bring a breakthrough in this and also heal Vance of his painful back condition.
