Alliance Women Prayer Items September 2008

[Current month]

Effective Prayer (from the Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada)
∙ An inseparable link exists between prayer and fruitful ministry, since it is through our prayers that God has chosen to unleash his power. There are seven ways to help you pray more effectively for Alliance missionaries.

Bill & Diane Finnemore (Poland)

Bill was invited to go and help in the outreach event of Christian biker club called “Boanerges” on the Polish - German border. The Boanerges club had a huge piece of land fenced in where they provided a place for bikers coming to the weekend to safely park their bikes and setup their tents. By the end of the weekend about 700 bikers were registered, and each person received a biker’s version of the gospel of Luke with personal testimonies in it. Many contacts were made and conversations about Christ took place. Prayer requests:

Please pray for this important ministry. Pray that the decisions that were made on the weekend would stick and that the seeds that have been planted would grow.
Please continue to pray for the Women’s Encounter Supervisor, who has terrible pain in one of her knees.
Please pray for the Women’s Encounter Team Leader, Justyne, who has discovered a lump on her thyroid. She is going for testing and a biopsy.
Please pray for Danielle’s lyme disease. She is hoping to get another doctor’s opinion since this one is just giving her pain killers.
Please pray for Marriage Encounter Supervisor’s wife as her mother just died and she herself is having terrible back pains and is on pain killers too.
Please pray for Nina and Slawek and Bozena and Leszek as they are having trouble writing testimony to share in November and getting together with their Support couple.

The General Assembly went well. They had a good time of fellowship. There were a 3 hour time of confession of wounds and asking and giving forgiveness. The pastors would kneel down and confess and then go from person to person asking forgiveness. President Oyiaffini was elected by acclamation. The property that they want to buy is next door to their Bible School in Pointe Noire. The new property will have more space for cars and water. In a week, they have received 40k USD. Please let them know if you are willing to commit to giving toward the purchase of this property.
