Prayers for Darmstadt

Dear Praying Friends,

In your prayers in the coming week, please remember the following requests:

Xiannan, our dear Chinese friend, has relocated to Innsbruck, Austria for the next 6 months as part of his PhD studies. He is in desperate need of a place to stay. Right now he is sleeping on a cot in his office while looking for a place. No one wants to rent him a place for just 6 months. Xiannan is a new believer, and he also needs to find Christian friends, and if possible an English- or Chinese-speaking group of believers.  Pray also for Michael, a student who just relocated to Tomsk, Russia for a one year term, who faces some similar challenges.

Pray for Anok, a University student from India, who has applied to more than 60 locations for a PhD program, and has not received a single positive response. He is very discouraged, and is asking for your prayers.

We have many students in situations similar to these, or struggling with discouragement or confusion regarding God's direction in their lives - please pray for Aurelion, Samir, Mo, Samuel, Arthur, and Venkat.

As we move toward October, and the beginning of a new academic year at the University, we are welcoming many new people into the church.  Single students and families from around the world are walking through our doors every week.  Pray for our church family to be welcoming, engaging and supportive in Jesus' name, sharing the love and gospel of Christ with these new friends.
Thank you for your prayerful support of this amazing work in Darmstadt!

Soli deo gloria!
