As the U.S. imposes 20% tariffs on European goods, the immediate impact in Europe could be a reduction in prices, but at what cost? While lower prices on certain products like Italian wine may boost purchasing power in the short term, the broader economic consequences could be severe.

How the Tariffs Affect the Market: One of the primary reasons prices could drop in Europe is an increase in supply. As the U.S. raises its tariffs, products initially destined for American consumers, such as Italian wine, may stay within the European market, creating oversupply. Simultaneously, products from China are redirected to Europe, further contributing to an increase in supply. While this may seem like a boon for consumers, experts warn that it could lead to deflation—a dangerous economic scenario.

The Danger of Deflation: Deflation, a drop in the overall price level of goods and services, may seem good in the short term as it encourages consumers to spend, but it has far-reaching negative effects. As consumers wait for prices to fall even further, demand slows, leading to decreased production, which in turn causes wages to stagnate or even fall. This sets off a dangerous cycle of rising unemployment, ultimately hurting the broader economy.

Uncertainty and the Long-Term Consequences: Tobias Gehrke, a researcher at the European Council on Foreign Relations, emphasizes that the greatest threat posed by these tariffs is uncertainty. With all European exports now facing increased duties, companies in Europe—especially those reliant on exporting goods like machinery, chemicals, and cars—could experience significant losses. If this uncertainty persists, companies may hold back investments, which could harm employment and future economic growth in the region.

China's Role and the EU's Response: The economic implications hinge heavily on how China and the EU respond. If China retaliates, or if the EU can negotiate its way around these tariffs, the situation could shift. The U.S. may also leverage these tariffs as bargaining chips in larger negotiations, further complicating the landscape.

While it remains unclear what long-term effects these tariffs will have on Europe, the situation calls for caution. Economic stability is key, and much will depend on how the various players in this complex trade web react.

Prayer Pointers: Pray for Europe Amidst Trade Uncertainty

1. Pray: for Economic Stability: Pray for wisdom and discernment for European leaders as they navigate the uncertainty caused by tariffs, seeking solutions that protect the livelihoods of their people and promote long-term economic stability. “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.” Proverbs 15:22

2. Pray: for Global Cooperation: Pray for unity among global powers, asking God to foster dialogue and cooperation that can lead to peaceful, mutually beneficial agreements, and to soften hearts towards fair trade practices. “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” Romans 12:18
3. Pray: for the Well-being of the People: Pray for the ordinary people of Europe who are affected by economic challenges, that God would provide for their needs, bring relief, and protect them from the negative effects of rising unemployment and instability. So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10

Prayer:

Lord, we lift Europe in this time of economic uncertainty. Grant wisdom to leaders, protection for the people, and guidance in international relations. May Your peace reign, bringing stability, cooperation, and provision to all who are affected. Amen.

To our IPC Friends across Australia, and worldwide,

We have an incredibly exciting outreach coming to Rockingham Western Australia and we would greatly appreciate your prayers & support.

Since the prayer initiative with the World Prayer Assembly in Perth, we have sensed that God’s hand is upon this region. We believe this is a pivotal moment for Perth, and that God is moving mightily in this area.

Rockingham is considered a lower socio-economic area, along with its neighbouring suburb Kwinana, which is an industrial region with its economy tied to manufacturing, heavy industry, and shipping. Rockingham has a number of community initiatives aimed at providing assistance to those facing financial challenges and homelessness. The decision to hold this outreach event in this area was based on the need within the community, to bring a greater unity to the churches and bringing together local charities and organizations to collaborate and maximize the benefits for individuals and families in the area, seeing many souls come into the kingdom.

From April 23rd to 25th, we will be hosting the United City Harvest Outreach at the Mike Barnett Stadium in Rockingham.

We are honoured to have Tim Hall, one of Australia’s foremost evangelists, as our guest speaker. Tim has ministered globally, preaching with power and anointing. Their ministry has seen over 1 million people come to salvation, thousands healed, and countless lives transformed through the power of the Holy Spirit.

We ask for your prayers, especially as the original organizer has had to withdraw from the event. This has led to the responsibility for organizing United City Harvest WA being entrusted to volunteers from local churches. We believe that this is a divine opportunity for the churches in our region to unite in faith and action. As we step into this important role, we trust God will provide the strength, wisdom, and guidance necessary to see this event through.

We would value your prayers in these areas:

• People having an encounter with God.
• That God will provide strength, wisdom and guidance to the organising team.
• That there will be a residue left of God’s presence that will heal families and those who are broken-hearted and continually turn people to Christ.
• Praying for finances – looking for A$30-35,000
• That it is God and not man.

We are incredibly grateful for your support in prayer and for standing with us as we believe for an outpouring of God’s Spirit in this region.

IGNITE THE FIRE 2025 - FROM PAPUA TO THE NATIONS

Date: July 1-5, 2025 

Venue: Jayapura, Papua, Indonesia

International Prayer & Evangelism Conference - Click for Website

Join believers from many nations, along with national and international leaders and speakers - in cross-generational worship, prayer and round table consultations - hearing and sensing God's purposes in pursuit of the Great Commission! (Isaiah 4:5-6)

This five-day gathering consists of an opening session on 1st July evening and three full days of collaborative meetings. On 5th of July, at the stadium, a children's and families' morning event will be followed in the afternoon with all-age prayer, praise and worship to celebrate the National Day of Prayer for Indonesia.

The fire is here. The time is now - Will you be part of this move of God?

You are warmly invited to join us for Ignite the Fire 2025 in Papua, Indonesia.

Why Indonesia - and why Papua?

In 2012 Indonesia, at the request of the International Prayer Council, hosted the World Prayer Assembly. This global event brought 9,500 leaders from 86 nation to focus on the primacy, the practice and the power of prayer.

Indonesia was chosen to be the host because of their commitment to prayer and unity across their cultures, traditions and generations. The final night of our gathering saw more than 100,000 people, including 20,000 children and 20,000 youth gather in the National Stadium in Jakarta for a 4-hour prayer meeting.

Even more amazing was the fact that 378 other cities across Indonesia hosted stadium or large venue gatherings, most connected by digital feed to Jakarta with more than 2 million people joining in prayer. How did this happen?

Indonesia is believed to have the most united National Prayer Network in the world (JDN) connecting 300+ Citywide Prayer Networks, 120+ Citywide Children’s Prayer Networks, Youth, Women’s and Unreached People Prayer Networks and more. Scores of 24/7 Prayer Towers are restoring the Tabernacle of David model of Worship Based, Presence Based Prayer across the nation.

At the eastern-most part of Indonesia’s 7,000+ inhabited islands is Papua, considered by missiologists to be the ends of the earth. God has been powerfully at work in Papua as Houses of Prayer and Prayer Towers have grown and multiplied. As a result, more than half of Papua are followers of Christ in this, the nation with the highest Muslim population.

More recently, Papua became the catalyst for uniting leaders to establish a National Day of Prayer. Children’s Prayer Towers have been multiplying from the Papua House of Prayer for All Nations and have been providing prayer leadership to the 4 Global Days of Prayer.

The theme of Ignite the Fire 2025 is “From Papua to the Nations.” This unique gathering will focus on specific outcomes including:

1. Raising up 24/7 Prayer and Prayer as a Lifestyle
2. Every Christ Follower a Multiplying Disciple
3. Authentic Unity across Cultures, Nations and Generations in Fulfillment of John 17
4. Developing Missional Families and Children as Full Partners in God’s Mission
5. Fulfillment of the Great Commission in Our Generation
6. Stadium Prayer Gatherings on July 5 - Indonesia’s National Day of Prayer

We hope you can join us for this life-changing gathering.

Please see the website for details.

www.ignitethefire2025.world

We would like to bring to you two resources to encourage you as you pray for people by name…

1. VIDEO: Praying for People by Name – A Powerful New Invitation from Dr. Jason Hubbard

What if the greatest miracles began with the simplest prayer—lifting one name before the throne of God?

In a short but stirring video message, Dr. Jason Hubbard, Director of International Prayer Connect, calls us to a deeply personal and powerful strategy in global intercession: Praying for People by Name.

Rooted in God’s love for every individual and anchored in His desire that none should perish, this video is an invitation to reclaim the intimacy and urgency of intercessory prayer. Dr. Hubbard reminds us that Jesus Himself prays for us by name (Hebrews 7:25), and He calls His Church to join Him in that holy partnership.

This is more than a method - it’s a movement of intentional prayer. Whether you are interceding for a friend, a family member, or an unreached people group, praying by name aligns your heart with God’s heart. It stirs faith, ignites hope, and releases Kingdom breakthrough.

In just a few minutes, you’ll be encouraged to:

• Ask the Holy Spirit to highlight specific names of those He’s calling you to pray for
• Write their names down and begin lifting them before the Lord regularly
• Believe that God is working, even when we don’t yet see the results

We’re seeing a global shift in prayer - away from vague generalities and toward intentional, Spirit-led intercession. Every name matters to Jesus.  And when we call on heaven with faith, even one whispered name can echo across eternity.

We invite you to watch the video, share it with your church or small group, and let it inspire a fresh season of prayer. 

Together, let’s pray name by name until Jesus receives the reward of His suffering - souls saved, cities changed, nations awakened.
