Many of our teams around the world are asking for prayer for the political and socio-economic situations in their countries, which directly impact on them and their families as well as upon the ministry in which they serve.

This summer, we will have at least two opportunities to serve with book tables at Christian camps in the mountains. For most of those attending, it is their only opportunity to obtain Christian literature throughout the whole year. The first book table will be on July 9th, and the other, in the middle of August. Please pray for strength and stamina in preparing the books, for safety in travels and for new contacts. Above all, pray that the literature may be used by God to bless and to save those who will read it.

The Weekend (5th-6th) - Visas for Travel
CLC leaders often need to travel in order to participate in various conferences and other events, for the good of the ministry.

Wednesday (25th) - Romania 
 Please pray that we may fulfil all administrative and financial legal requirements without losing the efficiency in our work.

We have the opportunity to serve many language groups - but it is a complicated business! The world has come to the UK, and we want to help those who are reaching out to different language groups.

We praise Him that we have Bibles to sell to those who are searching.
 
Wednesday (11th) - Germany 
Please pray for us in the everyday details, as we learn to balance our time between meaningful, and often listening, conversations with our customers, and the business workload.

Thursday (12th) - Hungary
In February this year, Zsolt Kárpáti took on the pastoral responsibility in his fellowship, which necessitated some rearrangement of the work in CLC to enable him to focus on his new responsibilities. Please pray for the best outworking of the situation, for both the church and CLC.
 
Friday (13th) - Italy
