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 and Diane Finnemore, Poland |
- A couple wrote to them that they were very happy that they
could attend the recent Marriage Encounter Weekend, which
changed their lives and their relationship to each other. They
gave praise to God.
- A few weeks ago, Jen, Bill’s sister, has discovered to have
breast cancer. She will start chemo-therapy soon. Please
continue to pray for Jen and her family and Bill's parents who
are helping out the family to take care of the 2 years old
Joshua.

Bonnie & Derek Burnett, Thailand |
- Pray for Somkit & Suda about their exams & finances.
- La Oh has to go back into the hospital for a second
surgery. She still feels the pain after the first surgery. The
doctor determined that he hadn’t got all of it after taking an
x-ray. Please continue to pray for her.
- Derek has encouraged a student in Baan Pai to begin teaching
teens and then adults. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will
give her the gifts and the confidence to do this.
- Tong Bai is still losing weight. Please keep praying that
the Lord will bring healing to her mouth.
- Pray for Pastor Utane as he leads his Saw Saw Paw Group.
He’s been doing a great job and this is a huge encouragement to
Derek as it’s a direct answer to the prayer that the Centre
Leaders have clarity of purpose
- Derek had a good time sharing with Nutcharee & Nuht from
God’s Word, whose church has bought a piece of land. They hope
to begin building before the end of the year.
- Another encouragement is seeing the students preach (part of
their course work) and see the Holy Spirit use these willing
young people is thrilling

John & Lorraine Young, Spain |
- To celebrate their 7th anniversary, the church held the
first child dedication service for 11 kids from 7 families, with
Lorraine being the keynote speaker. The parents had sincerity
in their hearts in the dedication service.
- With input from experienced pastors, and through
confirmation in the Spirit, the church will expand and go deeper
into the Chinese communities around Madrid. They see the need
to reach students came from Mainland China studying Spanish and
university-educated young Chinese immigrants. Please pray that
they have the wisdom and insight to get into this ministry.

Anne Louie, Netherlands |
The outreach workshop March 13 went very well. Around 45 people
attended. After the meeting, they had good fellowship among
Christians and seekers. The church and the student fellowship worked
well as a team together. Please pray for the follow up for the
non-believers. Also, pray for more opportunity for the church to
work with the other Christian groups in order to share the Gospel in
Amsterdam.

Mary McElhone, Indonesia |
|
She has started her last unit of language study and meets with a
tutor 5 days of the week. Please pray that she will be able to
maximize her learning during the final month in Bandung. She is in
the process of applying new visa. Pray that the application is
smooth and she will receive the visa promptly. |
