Grace Fellowship International Prayer Letters

Dear Missions and Prayer Partners:

Chuck Solomon reports on the trip last February when he and Sue went to Phoenix to get some rest, do some writing, and visiting with friends.  They were united with one of their first counselees from early 1970.  They were also reunited with a brother who worked with them in Denver in early 80's. They collaborated in plans for him to go to China this fall.

Dr. Solomon had food poisoning on arrival there, which resulted in his passing out upon his return home.  Two days later our Spring training began, with his strength being made perfect in his weakness (2 Cor 12:9)!  Despite this, the Holy Spirit moved in a unique way with almost half, entering into victory! One was a missionary, along with two pastors and their wives, another pastor, and a young man who has been called to the ministry.  One of the pastors and his wife went back to Florida and saw 20 others with whom they shared, who found victory.  

To God be the Glory!

Further, the trip to Phoenix may result in a conference in a major church there; Chuck and Sue have a number of friends in that church, and Chuck had a good visit with the pastor there. 

Dr. Solomon also asks again for a young lady in Romania, Jenny, who he is counseling via email.

P.P. Thomas, writes, that he was at Mumbai ministering in the Annual Conference of Evangelical Graduate's Fellowship at Vasai, near Mumbai.  There were some fifteen families attending with special sessions for children.  There were a few of his students now working in responsible positions there, and have leadership in their churches.  There were people from several denominations and language background.  He took 4 sessions on 2 Timothy, and 4 on the two Pauline prayers in Ephesians.

He had several one- on- one counseling also, staying with different families and having good interactions.

P.P.'s brother is still in the Geriatric Care Center.  He has improved to some extent.  But he is still not able to look after himself.

Last week P.P. visited a local Hospital for two days for a check up, He is now under medication for one month.  The doctors suspect that he may be having Rheumatic Arthritis.  When he goes back to the hospital next time, they will have a definitive check up.

OUR GFI Associate, Dominique Gallou writes, "Please pray for us," the Gallou family.  He is out of work and has no source of income (such as welfare or unemployment payments). Current funds will only last a month, unless the Lord supplies something in the form of work or commission sales.

In the meantime, his family is serving the Lord. He leads 2 men's Bible studies since 5 weeks. The Lord brought 2 men to salvation.

We need to pray for this family

Roman Shakin, serving in Ukrainian, thanks you for your support and your prayer.  His family is blessed by God. Roman gives us a brief description of God's work in GFI Ukraine, and in their church.

Roman, wishes to pay attention to God's work in those churches where they organized The Exchanged Life conferences.  Also, they organize youth camps.  In his own church he spends time in the Bible study, in small groups 2-3 times a week.  He puts the accent on the Cross.  Usually he gives sermons and also counsels people. He can see how God works in them, changes their hearts, and heals their souls.

He is grateful to God, that He teaches them to trust Him, providing everything they need.  He also thanks the people of GFI, asking them to continue to pray for his family, for service, and for material support.

They plan to do two weeks of evangelism in their own area, in May.  Also they will prepare for youth summer camp.  Their plan is to continue to go further in different regions in all of Ukraine with the message for believers, and to preach the Gospel.  Pray that God will open the people's hearts to receive salvation in Christ. He asks our prayer for this ministry.

John Shepherd reports on what is happening in Kenya.  The political turmoil has settled down, they are still haggling over the support office...one trying to get an upper hand on the other.  It is, as always, about power, and not the people.

Things start to be really get busy now, as they prepare teams to leave this month for the bush and to win and plant churches all over Maasai Land.  The teams from churches will come every month from now to October.  Please be in prayer for them. 

As you know from living in the States, the cost of everything is going up.  Well, the same thing is happening in Kenya, only worse. The turmoil during the elections, the cost of everything (fuel, food), skyrocketed. There was the displacement of 300,000 people, mostly the farm belt; all has taken a toll on the cost of everyday needs.  Because of the unrest, they lost the whole season of planting and harvesting crops and they are just now beginning to go back to their homes...many are still afraid of what happens when they get back.  All this needs much prayer.  Airline tickets have gone through the roof, this will limit the number of volunteers. 

The helpers: Joseph still has Typhoid Fever, but improving.  Monica is still with them, and is waiting at the house for the volunteers to come back.  For a long time she was afraid to return--she being a Kukuyu--but she is there caring for the house now. The Lord took care of that and everything around the house is ready. John Shepherd asks for our prayers.Calvary Road Ministries

Perfecto Mumar is still in Manila, with several pastors.  He reports, that he was in the hospital last week for treatment of his kidney trouble, and heart failure.  He asks prayer for his debts from the hospital.  Pray also for the finishing of the printing of the tracts.  Perfecto is also concerned about ministerial licenses. He asks for our prayer for monies to cover his needs.

Paying with you,

Grace
