Given the huge success of "
Church in a pub" in London, UK, we're prayerfully seeking to try this model in Australia. So far we plan two events- one in Perth city, the other in the small town of Kellerberrin in rural WA, the home of sister Jocelyn. Please join us in praying that we meet up with the right folks whom we can help to the Lord Jesus, to His glory. That's our only aim. And let us know if you're interested in any outreach efforts where you are.
The publicity is already getting out there on Google Ads and Facebook. You can hear Mark advertising the Perth "
Church in a Pub" at

And do pray for these bold efforts to by all means save some in Australia, and to engage with ordinary Ozzie folk where they are, and lead them further.
ROMANIA
As brother Marcus was being taken to hospital by ambulance [he's now home again], his landline phone rung and we answered it. It was a man from Romania to whom Marcus had sent an NEV Bible and Bible Basics. He explained he reads from it every day, loves the commentary, and calls Marcus every week for a chat. Things developed from there.
We're delighted to say that this week on a brief trip to Romania we were able to baptize FLORIN. We continue to marvel at how the Lord reaches out to people, and also how a old brother in his 90s in south London can still witness worldwide.
TURKEY
We continue in contact with those from Antakya whose homes and livelihoods were utterly destroyed in the earthquake, and this week we sent more funds to them.
UK
We had a great Persian language church today, sermon is at

And then we baptized MOHAMADREZA into Jesus as he had desired for a long time. With some of our Russian sisters in attendance. And one of our attenders is a black cab taxi driver based out of East Croydon station, who gave everyone a ride home after the baptism service. How cool was that in God's providence.
We have more baptisms planned this coming week, let us know if you'd like to attend. We're now in a situation where we have a critical mass of committed folks and they are spreading the word. We get messages like this
We're grateful , very very deeply, that the Lord has answered so many prayers and blessed so much hard work to raise up such a vibrant church in South London. So do keep praying for us and again we ask you to consider whether you could spare some time to come and help us on the ground. The potential is so great.
