Country: Australia
Details: Pray for the 21 small groups, at two major Sydney universities, that will be wrapping up before finals begin in June. Most of these groups have seekers exploring Christianity. Several are growth groups for Christians to go deeper in God's Word. May the Lord use these small groups to draw many to himself. Pray for the potential new campus ministry they hope to start at the University of New South Wales, where there are approximately 20,000 international students. They are partnering with a local church and a campus group. In May, they have an important planning meeting before the start of the new semester in June. Please pray for wisdom and open doors. Blake and Emily are thankful for our continuing prayers for baby Adeline, who is doing well. Austria (Europe). Population: 8,977,139 Believers: 0.5%. Austria, a nation of culture, music, art, and beautiful scenery, lies for the most part, spiritually empty. While 84% of Austrians believe in God (high for Europe), few have met Jesus personally. Rates of suicide, abortion, and alcoholism indicate the great need for spiritual foundations. Pray for the shell of religion in this nation to be filled by the living presence of Christ.
