Requests and Links for the Weekend

Please remember the following in the days to come:

1. Seminars at the Baptist Church in Petrinja. We meet for the third time next Tuesday. Ask for disciples to grow, leaders to step out, and vision to develop.
2. Remember our home groups. Ask for their health and growth. Every Thursday, Elise leads a women’s group and Trey leads a men’s group.
3. Remember the five outreach groups that our team is leading right now. There are 21 people studying “The Essence of Christianity.” Ask for God to bring this truth into the hearts of all the participants.
4. Remember the three Baptist Churches in Zagreb and the Baptist churches in the cities of Karlovac, Petrinja, Moscenica, and Sisak. These are all great churches and partners in the gospel. We want to do everything we can to encourage and enable them. The reality is they are giving far more to us right now than we to them. We want to help them more.
5. Remember the Berry family, Tim and Danna plus three precious little girls. They are a part of our team who are just finishing a very successful first term. They leave for their first furlough (Stateside Assignment is the new word) a week from today and have lots of packing to finish and goodbyes to say. They plan to be in Arkansas and Texas for the next 7 months before returning.
6. Remember the Bell family, Richard and Beverly plus two teenage girls and a son who attends Furman University. They are currently on stateside assignment and return on December 28^th.

Two good, recent articles you may enjoy are by Bill Curtis on cooperation and another excellent blog (this man is an excellent writer and always worth reading in my humble opinion) on November 13 by Jerry Grace.
