Dear Friends:

Gideon's Army

Europe-what kinds of images come to mind? Do you see the Eiffel Tower? Do you see the Leaning Tower of Pisa? Do you see the Tower of London? Do you see the Rome Coliseum? What images do you see?

Image is such an important part of society, but image is not necessarily reality. Many people do not see that Europe is a continent that needs spiritual help. Assemblies of God missionaries and missionary associates, working alongside national pastors and laity, are committed to reaching the peoples of Europe with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Reaching into 33 different countries, with over 100 language groups and 100 plus ethnic groups, is certainly a huge task. What can so few do with a task that is so daunting?

Gideon probably asked himself this question when his 30,000-man army was reduced to 300 men to fight the Amalekites who numbered as the sands of the sea. What can so few do in light of so many? The answer in our context is obvious-God, plus us, is a majority, and that is where we need your help.

You ask, "Why do you need my help?" We need your help to pray that the Lord of the Harvest would thrust forth laborers into His harvest field. We need you to pray that the Lord will protect those laborers who are in the harvest field, and we need you to pray that the Lord will open the hearts of men and women in this great continent to receive the saving knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

God is at work. Just a few days ago, my wife and I were in the middle of a trip in Europe. We stand amazed at what God is doing in Belgium, Spain, and Romania-three of the countries we just visited.

God is working in the cities, on the campuses, and with the children of Europe.

Thanks for praying. We appreciate it.

Your colleague for souls in Europe,

God Bless ,
