France, Croatia, The Real Devil, July 2007
.. other Iranian brothers and sisters remain in the same difficult situation.
We ask especially for your prayers for brother Ali at this time. Whilst he and
others do work, often in low paid work such as washing up in restaurants, they
do need our support materially over a host of issues, such as residence permits,
assistance with travel, room rent in advance, etc. These brave brothers and
sisters have fled Iran because of their faith, leaving behind stable employment,
and are left penniless in foreign and often hostile environments.
FRANCE
Our witness to people from Jewish background and to those involved with the Messianic movement continues. We're delighted to say that in this connection we came into contact with TINA in France; it was our joy to visit and baptize her last week.

Our new sister understands very clearly the dangers of corrupt Christianity and is thrilled to understand that true Christianity involves a belief in one God and not a trinity. She is spreading her faith to others, distributing tracts etc. Do pray for her!
CROATIA
Nearly 10 years ago, we sent a Bible Basics to a contact from Croatia. It is now our joy to report and baptism and receiving into fellowship of DARKO and his wife ELA. They are amongst the most studious folk we have met. Their home is full of a huge range of theological and Christian books. Beginning from Roman Catholicism, Darko worked his way through many groups until he became convicted of our beliefs, one by one jettisoning the trinity, immortal soul, personal Satan and other myths, until he saw his way clearly to the Truth. You can view "An appeal to Roman Catholics" in Croatian at http://www.carelinks.net/languages/croat/catholicsappeal.htm
Our prayers are with them in their witness and we're already grateful for their assistance in translating material.
