October Prayer Letter

October 20, 2008

Dear Friends,
The Lord is giving us so many new opportunities to reach the German people we love, through church planting and evangelism. We want to ask you to pray intensly that God would move in a powerful way. We invite you to join us and thousands of others on Thursday,
October 23, for a special day of prayer for Europe. Please go to www.GEMission.org/pray/strategic and check out the strategic and current prayer requests with pictures.

Here are some things that we especially want you to pray for:

- Pray for the cell phone film brainstorming meeting on November 2. Pray that God would give us an excellent idea.

- Praise God for the good attendance at the first two monthly worship services in Hennef. I will be preaching there on November 9 on the subject "What if God were silent?"

- Praise God for the 20 German participants at our first City Mentoring Program recruiting/training day on October 10. Pray that many of these experienced church planters would catch the vision to multiply themselves by signing up to be mentors for young church planters.

- Pray for the third Consultation for Church Planting set for November 24 in Frankfurt. Pray that this meeting of key church planting leaders would result in concrete steps toward a church planting movement in Germany.

- Continue praying for our liturgical church plant in Cologne. We have set a target date of March 1 for our first service. There is still much preparation work to be done until then. Pray for unity as we discuss our shared values and for God to lead us to just the right place to hold our services.

In an effort to increase the intensity and level of strategic prayer we would like to challenge you to consider organizing a small prayer team of 5-8 people and come over for a week of intense prayer in Germany. The week would include strategic prayer walks in and around Cologne and informational prayer meetings with our German led church planting teams in the area. If you are interested, please let us know.

Your missionaries to Germany,

Jason and Sue
