Please pray that 2 of these churches would find a place to meet that is more regular than the various members homes.

Please also pray that they would all grow in strength, and that Stoyan would continue to be led to those in need.

Please continue to pray for Eliana

We have had an update from Artur Krasniqi in Kosovo, he writes:

"Thank you so much for sharing our joy with us for our new baby Eliana. Thank you so much for your prayers. God has done a miracle with her life, even doctors did not believe she would live, so we decided to take her home, we signed the papers on our own responsibility since they could not do anything, and took her home and prayed for her.

After three days she did test again and she was much better, she is growing slowly and becoming stronger. However the doctors have some serious concerns regarding her life and her normal growth. We are believing God`s report on her life and not the one from doctors - that she might be with disabilities.

It has been the biggest test of our lives, and in all this all we can do is just come close to him and pray and trust God. We don't know why this has happened, but it's better to know God then to know why."

Please continue to uphold Eliana, Brikena and Artur in your prayers.

Please pray for this new family, especially for Iliana, who was born at 39 weeks but weighed less than two kilos. The doctors are very concerned about Iliana, who has several suspected problems. All prayers will be very much appreciated.

Urgent Prayer Needed for CASA Summer Camp

We have just received a phone call from Romania to say that the "Sanitation Authorities" have arrived at the camp threatening to close it down.

The same thing happened last year, but after a nice meal they changed their mind.

However, it seems that this year they are more serious and are threatening to close the camp down this afternoon.

PLEASE PRAY AGAINST THIS!

Thank you.

Fires in Romania and Montenegro

Please pray about two separate fire incidents that have happened:

The home of Faradin Mustafa who leads a church in the Turkish Roma Muslim community of Mangalia, Southeast Romania, has burnt down. The family are currently living in a tent and Faradin's wife went to hospital with heart pains. Not only have the family lost their home, but also the home is where the church had its meetings.

In Bar in Montenegro, Daniel Stracinski leads children, youth and adult meetings at the weekend in the local community room - this has been burnt down and so there is nowhere now to hold meetings. Many people have accused Daniel as he is a Christian (considered a sect), but thankfully the owner of the room knows Daniel is innocent.

Please pray for Faradin and his family, as well as Daniel, at this very difficult time.
