Prayer Movement
"Break up the fallow ground, seek the Lord until righteousness rains down in this region." A renewed prayer focus for the harvest of Austria was to be cultivated in Feldkirch. I call it a "Prayer Furnace." A prayer movement is critical if we are going to see revival in this very difficult soil called Europe. The people are responding to the call and passionate prayer is creating spiritual momentum at Bread of Life Christian Center.
Pastors and Leaders meet for unified prayer...

| I was invited to join pastors and leaders for prayer. Amazing time! We are very well received and will have impact among the group. This is a very special opportunity. Marketplace "Favor" and "Relationships"    In the city we are receiving incredible favor with local politicians, merchants and restaurant owners. The former Mayor of Weiler was calling me his "Texas son" on our first meeting (Divine appointment) and he also invited me to be his guest and play golf at his club. We have an open invitation to have dinner at his specially reserved VIP table anytime. Also, I made good friends with the restaurant (above photo) owner as well. Wow! This is a miracle! Things like this simply do not happen in the Germanic culture. It's supposed to take years before such a connection takes place for an outsider. Upon the first encounter there is a connection that only God can arrange. I've boldly explained who we are and what we do in Austria and they still want to fellowship! Please understand, that not being connected with the official State Church means that you are easily rejected. One shop owner actually gave me special cookies to take to Texas. When we return to Austria, we look forward to cultivating these relationships. Building more vital relationships...(We loved them before we ever met them.)          World Missions Christmas Outreach Bread of Life in Feldkirch, Austria partnered with "Hands of Grace" ministry in Guanajuato, MX (Rey Perez Jr. and his team) to help put, along with others, new shoes and socks on needy children's feet and a Bible in their hands! What a great privilege! Many gave their hearts to the Lord because of this outreach!      Back in Texas! I (Doug) was blessed by the congregation in Austria with airfare to surprise my family for Christmas! They had no clue I was coming! What a great experience and surprise! Thank you Bread of Life! I was able to enjoy Christmas and the New Year with the family and Destiny Church friends! We have the most amazing children and granddaughter by the way. Smile. "Your Kingdom is Here" CD Release Concert : Jason King It was an awesome experience to attend this worship concert. I was proud of Jason and Sheryl and also those who had worked so hard on this recording project. I'd like to give a big "shout" out to my son-n-law Matthew Bell who worked in the studio, helped to write some songs and played guitar on the CD. Way to go people! Keep Jason, Sheryl and their children in prayer as they launch out as Missions Ambassadors for England in February 2012! I know that somehow we will connect on the other side of the pond and see God's unique plan unfold for Europe!  Missions Conference at Destiny Church We are looking forward to this great missions event. People will gather from all over the world and celebrate harvest time! What a great reunion and ministry time this will be! I will return to Austria January 22 and Angie will follow me sometime in February as we are still working on our transition to overseas.  For conference schedule and speaker line-up please click on this link: http://lightyourworld.squarespace.com/ Prayer request: 1. We are looking for those who will intercede for this ministry and for Germanic Europe. 2. Transformation to come to the Rhein Valley where we live and serve. 3. Continued unity and agreement among local ministry leaders. 4. Supernatural provision for the ministry in Austria. 5. Wisdom. Also, to be led by the Spirit concerning the work in Hombrechtikon, Switzerland. 6. An Elder at Bread of Life needs a miraculous healing touch. 7. The prayer movement to expand. 8. Harvest laborers to arise among the Austrians and Swiss. 9. The German language to come quickly for Angie and myself. Special Thanks: Angie and I are very thankful to those who have listened to the Holy Spirit and have joined with us in this ministry effort. Grateful is too weak a word to use. We love you. The Lord will bless those who have blessed us. Doug Kingdom Ministries Intl. (KMIeurope) |
