Jesus said that the harvest is ripe and ready, but the workers are few. For Danish evangelist Torben Søndergaard this means that wherever he goes, he expects God to heal and save people, and draw them into his Kingdom. So why would atheist students in Moscow’s Burger King not be able to experience God’s healing? Check out this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4We2hGLQXA to see what happened. Torben reports: ‘It was an incredible day we’ll never forget. We saw 40-50 people being healed in less than two hours.’
Praise: God for the power of His healing touch. (Pr.16:24)

Russian Ministries is aiming to provide gift-filled shoeboxes along with children’s Bibles to 50,000 needy kids across Russia and the former Soviet Union this Christmas. ‘Our plan is that 50,000 children will receive those gifts but also learn about Jesus through the story that will be shared with them by young people on behalf of their churches who put together a presentation on the birth of Jesus, who became the greatest gift of all,’ said Russian Ministries’ President Sergey Rakhuba. He added: ‘Christmas is the greatest opportunity to reach out to children with the Gospel, but during that time the atmosphere creates more open space and especially in those territories where Christianity is not as influential. It’s also a great opportunity for young potential leaders in Russia, who we like to equip with these Christmas boxes, which we like to call Gifts of Hope.’ Praise: God for this initiative that brings hope to so many young people. (Ps.105:1)
Romania: The European Union has deported more than 1,000 gypsy people in recent weeks, and most are being sent back o Romania where they face a life of poverty and deprivation. But Christian groups are working to bring hope to Romania's gypsies. For many, it has led to a relationship with God. After years of mission work in Romania, Kevin Hoy realized gypsies have often struggled with advancing in Romanian society. In 2009, he witnessed what many call the ‘Toflea miracle,’ where 500 gypsies in southeast Romania were baptized after accepting Christ. It was the largest baptism in Romania's history.Hundreds more in Tileagd answered the call to Christ this year. Hoy prays revival will soon reach the residents of Salard as well. In the meantime, he and his team preach the gospel - without words.
Praise: God for His blessing on the gypsy peoples. (Ps.80:18)

You can pray on one location, or take your prayers (or the prayers of others) to travel the world. British youth organization Revival Run introduced the idea of 'prayer staking': prayers are written on wooden stakes and carried from one place to another. When placing the stake in a street, town or country, believers pray for the advance of the Gospel in that locality or nation. At 24-7prayer's recent Euro-gathering in Germany, participants took prayer stakes for every language group in Europe, which implied a commitment to travel there to pray and share the Gospel.
Praise: God for this prayer initiative. (1The.5:17)

‘A man in our church was in terrible condition. We prayed for him. Later, the doctors took another ultrasound and found his liver to be perfectly healthy. They couldn't understand it!’ said Pastor Daniel Day. The First Assembly of God congregation of about 100, isn't the first church to hold revival meetings in a park, but in Delaware (the sixth most dangerous state in the nation) and in Wilmington (its crime capital) holding evening revivals in Judy Johnson Park the most dangerous park in the city was a risk few others have been willing to take. They were conducted over the weekend of September 27th -29th, and after effects are still being felt. People were being shot and raped in that park all the time but the choice of location was really a matter of prayer. The result of obedience to God’s leading and miraculous things took place during the week. People were set free. Another event is already being planned.
Praise: God for churches that catch His vision for their area and do whatever He tells them to do.

He was a hard-living, death-defying biker from Wales on a road trip across America. When his brakes failed on a steep mountain curve, God’s miraculous intervention changed his life forever. As he descended from the mountains on a steep, windy road, an oil leak caused Reg’s brakes to fail. ‘Every 200 yards there’s a hairpin turn,’ he recalls. But then something very unusual happened. He couldn’t let go of his handlebars. Suddenly, defying speed and gravity, the bike mysteriously stood upright on its own, slowed down, and pulled into the only run-off on the mountain. His friend Paul, pulled in behind him. ‘How did you stop it?’ he shouted. ‘I didn’t,’ Reg replied. He knew he didn’t stop the bike. Several witnesses said the impossible just happened. ‘On that mountain God showed me I had lost control,’ Reg says. He suddenly recognized that God answered his prayers in a dramatic, miraculous fashion. ‘I should have died on that mountain.’
Praise: God for His miraculous ways and how He can do the impossible. (Mt.19:26)

In an inter-religious service organised by the Vatican, the World Council of Churches (WCC) General Secretary, the Rev Dr Olav Fykse Tveit, stressed the importance of ‘expressions for peace and the mutual respect for the dignity of the other. He said praying together, we remind each other that God’s gift of life is given to all of creation and that justice and peace are God’s will for everyone'. The service was held on 21 January 2013 at the chapel of the Ecumenical Centre in Geneva, where the WCC has its offices. Coordinated by the Holy See, the service was a follow up to the World Day of Peace, celebrated by Roman Catholic Church on 1 January around the world. The service took place during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, celebrated from 18 to 25 January 2013.
Pray: for the Church to be effective in bringing peace as it seeks God with its prayers. (Ps.29:11)
This week’s GCSE results have confirmed that the number of students taking Religious Education has increased for the twelfth year running.’ Religious Education has entered the top ten league table of subjects in terms of the number of candidates, and remains in the top five of growing subjects with more than 75,000 candidates; above subjects like Mathematics and History. Nick McKemey, the Church of England’s Head of School Improvement, said ‘Young people are clamouring for a deeper understanding of religious perspectives on issues of the day and how moral and ethical questions are considered by the major faiths. Twelve years of organic growth in student numbers cannot be ignored. This is a phenomenon that indicates students’ appreciation that exploring faith and belief helps them to understand the world and become better global citizens.’ He also said it underlines the importance of investing adequate resources and time in its teaching. Praise: for our young people who are making important decisions having received exam results recently. (Jas.1:5) More: http://www.cofe.anglican.org/news/pr7510.html
