Dear Intercessors.

Between the dates of August 20 and 30, Apostle Boney and Daniel Stephens had the opportunity to minister in Latvia, Denmark and France.  As we enter into the 4th year of ministry in Europe, it would appear that the Lord has given us a company of indigenous people that will begin to invade this continent with the gospel of the Kingdom.  We sense that the door is now open for the invasion of Europe and the team that will continue the work here is beginning to form.

Latvia.

Hosts:  Rufus and Natalie Abijoye.
Church:  Spirit and Truth (SAT) Church, Lielvarde, Latvia.

Latvia as a nation has been struggling economically since 2008, and as a result many people have been leaving the country to find work elsewhere.  This has left a large gap in the community and even in the church where people are trying to escape the problem rather than find the solution.  As a consequence, the church has been struggling to make headway, leaving the Pastor and his wife carrying a heavy burden and great stress.

During this trip, not only the ministry but also the Minister, were received with open hearts.  This lead to a group of key people within the church rising to the challenge the Lord was placing before them, and a depth of relationship being formed with Pastor Rufus and Natalie.  We see the Lord opening a door to the Baltic area, as well as Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union through this couple.

Denmark.

Hosts:  Anders and Jeanette Pedersen

In December 2009 a team of five of us travelled to Broenderslev, Denmark where the ministry was received primarily by Anders and Jeanette Pedersen.  Discipleship has continued with them since that time, and during this recent trip the Lord has formed a core group that received the ministry, and are already forming plans for how to take Denmark with the message of the gospel of the kingdom.

In this region of Denmark there are 4 “free” (non-Lutheran) churches, but not one of them has a Pastor.  Each have leadership teams that come under the overall control of their demoninations.  One of the couples that the Lord has added to the core group are the heads of the leadership of one of those churches.

France.

Hosts:  Eric and Jocelyn Gabillas

Challenges have been thrown at this church in Avignon, France over a period of time, but Pastor Eric and Jocelyn as well a key group of people have remained faithful to the Lord and the desire to see His kingdom established in the earth.

The ministry itself raised many questions from the congregation which were answered through the subsequent ministry.  Old mindsets were broken down and the people were freed from the doctrinal stongholds that have resisted them moving forward in the things of the kingdom.

Overall, we sense a time of new beginnings in Latvia and Denmark, as well as the encouragement and strength to continue pushing onward in France.

Your prayer has enabled this work to take place, and we thank you for your involvement in the ministry to these nations.  Europe is beginning to open up and we need the wisdom and grace of the Lord to ensure that we do not miss this opportunity and see the principalities and powers over Europe pulled down, and the throne of the Lord established here once again.

Your intercession is the enabling factor for this work to take place, and I cannot find words to describe our gratitude and appreciation in making this work possible.

Yours in the name of our Lord

Daniel Stephens
