DECEMBER 09 - UPDATE

PRAYER LETTER HIGHLIGHTS – December 2009



CHRISTMAS GREETINGS from cold and rainy Albania, we pray God is blessing each of you in your places of service. As this year comes to a close we are thankful for all God has done here in Albania. "Let us come before His presence with thanks -giving…" Ps 95:2. The prayers of God’s people have been evident over the past several months as we have faced many challenges and difficulties in the ministry here. Thank you for praying!


SAFE ARRIVAL! After much prayer and a long and stressful trip down from Slovakia the Brenenstuhl’s finally arrived October 22.
When they walkFont sizeed into their new house they were greeted by an infestation of roaches and mice. After several days of fumigation and cleaning with no success we decided it was best for them to move. Within days we were able to find a very nice place just minutes from the city center, main bus line and only a 10-minute walk to our house and church. They are doing well! Please pray for them as they learn the language and adjust to the culture.

NEW LIFE - news! prayer! praise!

*Please pray for the needed funds for the upcoming balloon payment, this is due at the end of December. If you can help we would greatly appreciate it.
*News! In a recent break-in at the camp, vandals got away with a number of small items causing damage to several windows and doors. Due to this incident and a few others we will need to install security bars around all first floor windows. The estimated cost of this project is around $900.00.
*Praise! Decisions made during recent camps and church services.


*Praise! The Saturday children’s Bible club is going great. Through this ministry we are able to reach the families of these children.

We were blessed to have a good number of young people for the New Life youth activity. Please pray for these young people that they will grow in the Lord.

News! We had a great turnout for our all church Christmas fellowship. The room was packed with our regular attendees as well as a number of visitors. We had a wonderful time of singing Christmas carols as well as a lot of really good food and games.

FURLOUGH 2010 – We are currently scheduling meetings for our 2010 furlough, if you would like for us to come and report to your church please contact us soon, dates are filling up, thank you!
Albania for Christ,
