‘The centre of God's will is the safest place on earth.’ (Lucas 22:42; Ephesians 5:8.) God bless you this weekend. Greetings from Marga Hooglugt – GPN


Mrs. H. asks prayer for deliverance from a sleep disorder and depression. She wants to quit using medications which make her drowsy. She wants to attend church faithfully again.


China: Please pray for a house church who is under intense pressure to join the government-approved Three-Self Patriotic Movement (TSPM) church. In April police and officials surrounded the church, expelled everyone from the building and sealed the door with an official document stating that the church was closed and that members must worship only in TSPM churches. The TSPM is an instrument for the atheistic Communist government, which persecutes Christians outside of it. This church has no pastor since 2012, because he died after breathing in fumes from a poorly ventilated gas heater. The pastor’s widow, who has been leading the church, has been pressured by authorities to sign a document stating that the church willingly agreed to merge with the TSPM church. She has refused to sign the document. VOM Contact


Please pray for restoration in my marriage and family. Mrs. W.


I ask your prayers for healing of J.D. who has a mental disability. Mrs. M.H.


There has been broken into the home of the couple M. Pray for the children, for peace and trust in God at this time of trial.


Mrs. E. asks prayer for healing of deafness in one ear.


Please pray for the couple W. They are open to the simple gospel. Pray that they will give their lives to Jesus. Pray also that their marriage will be renewed.


Turkmenistan: Two Christians in a village in the eastern Lebap region were fined more than two months’ average local wages recently after police and state religious affairs officials raided their homes as well as those of other believers. The raids, which occurred after police were informed that a church member was reading Christian literature at work, resulted in the confiscation of Bibles and other Christian literature. Muslim leaders in Turkmenistan often serve a dual role as state religious affairs officials. Pray for believers in Turkmenistan, who are under constant threat of raids and confiscation of Christian materials.


Please pray for healing for Mrs. S. She is very stuffy and suffers from nosebleeds.


Mr. L. is constantly confused. Pray that he will put his trust in the Lord Jesus, who accepts him as he is.


Mrs. B. is very old and asks prayer for healing of her aching knees and her bad ears. A hearing aid does not help.


PRAYER ANSWERED: A few weeks ago I asked for your prayers for a house. Last Friday I got this house! Next Friday I will sign the contract. I thank the Lord for this great miracle and that He will also help me with the finances. Please pray that I can get a permanent position at work on the town hall. Mr. K.M.


Answered prayers: Thank you very much for your prayers. The son of my girlfriend, Dinant, is recovered from pneumonia. Also, the mother of a friend miraculously recovered from heart surgery. And Sterre (6) is better again after she had extremely high fever. Mrs. A.K.
