Dear praying friends-
Thank you for your prayers concerning our Sunday school space. The Lord has provided! With the gracious help of Calvary Chapel Montebelluna, we now have a Sunday school room to call our own! We changed our original floor plan ideas which provided the perfect solution for dividing up the space that we are currently renting. We had our first Sunday service last Sunday and it was such a blessing. It has literally been 10 years since we have had a room for the kids that had all that we needed in it! I am truly thankful. We are going to inaugurate our new building and new room by having a little harvest party for the kids in the neighborhood this Saturday. We want to be a blessing to the kids and their parents in some way so we would ask for your continued prayers for this grand event! Thank you everybody! May God richly bless you.
Sincerely,
Hope Harrell (the oh-so-happy Sunday school teacher)

Dear brothers and sisters,
Thanks for your prayers these past weeks. God continues to bless us
and set up divine appointments here in Tor Bella Monaca. The new
building is really a blessing. This past Sunday, one of the dads from
the girls school showed up with his daughter for the first time. Be
praying for Vito and his family. Plus, we had a friend from Israel
guest speaking so we had quite a few other visitors that don't
normally come which was a blessing too. Amir was a great blessing and
stirred up the body once again regarding the sovriegnty of God and His
concrete plans for Israel in light of unfolding world events. Things
are heating up! This coming weekend we have a Bible college team
coming down from CCBC Montebelluna in the north to help us build a
wall for our children's ministry room. Although we haven't had the
miraculous offer to use for free one of the other spaces in our
building yet, the bible college students and Pastor Craig are going to
help us with the labor of building the wall and doing some painting (a
window, some fencing outside, and the big outer garage doors) while
they are here. We are very excited and it will be a huge blessing to
see the need met. To this point we have been driving the kids to our
house after worship for Sunday school. Please pray for provision, or
consider helping to fund the project if the Lord so leads. Only a
couple of days remain!! It's going to cost us around 300 euro, which
is about $450, for all the materials. Once we get this wall up, in
time and with provision, we will turn out attention to putting in a
little kitchen, some heating/air units, creating a bar and fellowship
area, and doing some other miscellaneous decorating. For now, the
wall is essential. To turn the topic to people, yesterday a man
approached me at the school, with another neighborhood believer, and
asked for a moment of my time. Ciro has gone through quite an ordeal
recently with his wife being an alcoholic and the home falling apart.
He feels very alone and is greatly concerned about the state of his
two children, ages 9 and 11. Please lift him up in prayer.

Pray for his salvation primarily. We know once he gives his heart to
the Lord, the Lord will iron things out in His way. I praise God for
the opportunity, but obviously, our hearts go out to Ciro. We put him
in God's hands together with your prayers.Alessandro and his family
have pretty much moved and are getting settled into their new house.
Up until today, Alessandro was very excited about a new job
opportunity that would give him a legitimate, full time contract. I
guess he didn't get it on occasion of not passing a doctor's physical
in some capacity. In the meantime, he had given notice at his other
job, so he doesn't know if they will keep him on or not now. Obviously
he is very disappointed. Pray for this family as they continue to
seek to trust God and deal with the discouragement and the
challenges.Continue to pray for protection for us all, my leadership
team, and the fellowship. It seems like the enemy is constantly
looking for a foothold. Pray for a deep work of God's Spirit,
unity, humility before God, a hunger and passion for God's word and
obedience to it, new conversions and new faces. Lift up our time with
the bible college team from the work to the fellowship to our witness
while they are around. Pray for the safe travel, divine appointments,
and God's will to be done.Keep lifting up the work in Frascati, Robert
and his family, and the saints there as well. Things are going well.
God has provided a new job for Chantal (Robert's wife) and there is a
good group coming on Sunday evenings for service. Pray for Vincenzo
and his family as they travel to the states next week for a couple of
weeks too... safe travel, refreshing times, and good fun.Pray for
clarity and an open door on ministering in Aquila at this phase
I'll leave it at that for now. We can't thank you enough for allowing
us to lean upon you so much for prayer and support. The body of
Christ truly is a wonderful blessing. May the Lord be blessing each
of you and showing you his faithfulness for all of your requests and
needs as well.
