**Praying for God’s Mission in Bulgaria &
Belgium**
“For my house will be called a house of prayer for all
nations.” Isaiah 56:7
This week’s featured mission point is Europe, which includes
Bulgaria and Belgium.
Below are some of the ways you can pray for the mission in
Europe:
- Pray for Christo & Vania Arnodauv, to be encouraged to
continue the difficult task they have of leading and helping the church in
Sofia, Bulgaria grow.
- Pray for God to raise up young people to be willing to
spend a year or more assisting the Arnodauvs in their efforts to reach out to
young people.
- Pray for the orphanage in Vidin, for the children that live
there and the workers that have labored there for years.
- Pray for God to bless our efforts to do mission work during
Spring Break in Tegucigalpa, Honduras; next summer in Sofia, Bulgaria; and next
summer in Detroit, Michigan.
- Pray for John Paul and Ruby Lee Hundley serving the church
in Belgium.
