As you pray -19 April 2008

Another encouraging e-mail came from our Dutch brother Frans Gunnink. He wrote from Belgium where he was accompanying Philip Bell from Creation Ministries International who is on a speaking tour. Frans says it is the fourth time that CFT and the Working Group on Genesis have organised such a tour. May the light of God's truth dispel the darkness of deception and ignorance.

The brethren in Paris were glad to have Gideon Jacobs with them for some days. Gideon will be travelling to Switzerland for the European Ministers' Conference. From Europe he will be flying to the USA for services.

Today I received a prayer letter from our missionary friends in Senegal, Jose and France-Lise Oliveira. They have much to thank and praise God for. On the other hand, the devil does not sit quietly when his works are being destroyed. As the Lord reminds us let us remember the Oliveiras and the ministry in Senegal.

It was a joy to hear from Oom Tienie and Tannie Elize Loots of Potchefstroom in Northwest. During my visits to this family I realised that they have a special heart for mission work. Their son Pieter is labouring in the Lord's vineyard in Malawi and their daughter Marelet is in the Middle East. Let us remember this family and the ministries in which they are involved.

For those who are following developments in Zimbabwe since the elections three weeks ago there should be no doubt that there is a serious crisis in that country. Some of you might have seen messages from distraught Zimbabweans pleading for prayers and support. May God have mercy.
