Week 6 - Europe
February 3rd - 9th
Monday (3rd) - Cyprus
We are always encouraged by opportunities to share the Gospel with customers. Some find us on the Internet and others just by walking in! We especially enjoy it when younger people express a desire to read the Bible, like the young Armenian who found us online and asked for a Bible in English. He was eager to learn more about God and so we were able to share and pray with him.
Tuesday (4th) - Italy
Due to the conditions of the building not being suitable, there is quite an urgent need to move our warehouse from its current location in Motta to Pomezia. Although we have found some viable solutions, we need God’s confirmation to take this step, ensuring that we are under His blessing. This is especially the case given our financial situation. Please pray with us!
Wednesday (5th) - Italy
A few years ago, we regretfully closed the bookstore in Palermo. However, we know that Sicily has a great need for CLC to reopen in the Palermo area. Please pray that the Lord will reveal the timing, strategy, financial resources and clear details about the location, together with the provision of a manager with the qualities and willingness to learn. Also pray that the churches will support this ministry.
Thursday (6th) - Romania
We thank you for praying for us and are happy to share that we finally published the books that were delayed, including The Practice of Godliness by Jerry Bridges, The Genesis Genealogies by Abraham Park and The Gift of Forgiveness by Charles Stanley. Additionally, we published two children’s Bibles: The Baby’s Picture Bible and The Great Explorer Bible.
Friday (7th) - United Kingdom
It is our desire to have New Testaments and Gospels available in many different languages in our warehouse. With our Print-on-Demand equipment, we now have the ability to produce these materials in-house. However, it is a process that requires a lot of preparation and then contact with the relevant language groups. Please pray for us to make breakthroughs with this project.
The Weekend (8th - 9th) - United Kingdom
Currently, we only have one bookshop in the UK, although our desire is to open more, given the right opportunities. Meanwhile, please pray for Yvonne Edu and her team of volunteers in the bookshop in Aberdeen (located in the Kings Church, in the former convention centre of the city). Pray that we may continue to offer resources that help people to grow in their spiritual walk.
