Roger & Gaynor Ridley in Switzerland Report

Prayer Update

Roger & Gaynor Ridley

February 2007

Praise Points

  • For the unity in our team and their common purpose.

  • London Lab was most beneficial. It provided resources for our team and confirmed our strategy in a European context. We interacted on these issues among many;
    1. Relationship based ministry – the role of time, prayer and personal cost
    2. Understanding the city and how people live and relate there
    3. How unity between Churches makes a profound impact in the city

  • Praise God for the generosity of the Intl Mission Board in making it possible for us to participate in LL.

  • Fabulous early spring weather which has helped us get out and improve our fitness levels. We both had sudden sharp colds, Rog in London, Gaynor on return but we recovered quickly.

  • Gaynor has fully recovered from shingles and is back to full fitness!

  • That God cares for our family in Melbourne and knows our needs better than we do.

Prayer Points

  • Please pray earnestly for more people to join our team. We would love non - missionaries and an Australian/NZ or English folk to join in.

  • We are holding our 2nd Mosaic event (Spring Prelude) on 10 March in Lörrach. Pray that many will respond to the publicity and attend.

  • That the team will work well together in holding Spring Prelude and that God will open doors to friends to draw closer to Jesus. This is also our 1st Anniversary for arriving in Germany!

  • Our May event will be in Basel and we would like to confirm musicians before 10 March so that we can publicise to people attending.

  • For team members: Martin with flu, Christian has a troubling painful elbow (carpal tunnel syndrome) Deanne with RSI in her hands and Ilona needing a new job in April.

  • Roger embarks on Module 2 Deutsch course from Feb 26 at the local VHS. Gaynor is having German conversation lessons with a friend from Feb 28.

  • For sustained monthly support. We thank God for the great support coming through. He alone will give the increase to enable the Church to start and grow.
