Flooding in Albania

An area in North West Albania has been badly hit by flooding. It has affected the main city in the north, Shkoder, and the surrounding region. More than 2,400 houses have been flooded; many families have lost everything, including their animals and the produce they were growing. The effects of this will continue for a long time after the flooding itself has been forgotten about.

Please pray for our partners Mission Possible in Albania and their director Besa Shapllo as they seek to help. They need funds to enable them to buy the clothing, blankets and food needed. Pray for wisdom for Besa and Mission Possible and that Mission Possible's supporters will give generously.

Alpha course in Novi Sad

Danny and Vera Kuranji in Novi Sad, Serbia have just started a new Alpha course and have been surprised and delighted by the 140 people who have signed up to do it. These include ladies who attended a pre-Christmas outreach which generated a lot of interest and family members of those who have been through the drug rehabilitation programme run in Novi Sad.

Please support Danny and Vera in prayer as they meet this challenge and use this opportunity to share the good news about Jesus with so many people. We pray that this course will be life-changing for many.

Prayer for Slavko Hadzic in Bosnia

Please pray with us for our partner Slavko Hadzic and his family in Bosnia.

Please pray that this treatment will have the desired effect and, in due course, bring Slavko back to health and strength. Pray for him as he copes with any side effects. Please also pray for his family and church at this time.
