Dear Prayer Partners,
Thank you for praying for us. God has been with us!
We had a wonderful week with Joseph “Bo” Robinson and David Smith. We had special meetings where our theme was Luke 4:18,19. Let the people be delivered! That was happening. People were prayed for and they found deliverance in Jesus.
We had four meetings and we had around 70 different persons in attendance. Bo and David ministered to our leadership team also and that was very encouraging. God gave wisdom and direction to us.
We are so thankful for Bo and David and for those who made it financially possible that they came.
SPECIAL PRAYER REQUEST: we are going to make a decision on buying a meeting place next Sunday (27th March), pray specially that we are ready to take a risk with our Lord Jesus. Pray for financial support to come.
Other prayer requests:
Pray for the local church to be birthed in Hameenlinna.
Pray for the meeting place for monthly worship services.
Pray for wisdom how to reach people in Hameenlinna.
Pray for common, united vision.
Pray for three young leaders, who are going to attend a youth camp and training in USA next June.
Pray for the new believers, new disciples, new members.
Pray that barrenness will be over and that God will give a great harvest for us here.
Greetings to you all and God bless you all!
Tapio Satila, National Overseer of Finland
In Finland, as in other Nordic countries, the larger population only attends the official, formal Orthodox Church occasionally, or on special occasions such as Christmas and weddings, which creates a more difficult environment for sharing the true love and redeeming salvation of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:27b encourages us to, “…stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;” and I Timothy 2:1-6 teaches us “…that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
Let us prayerfully intercede for Finland…
