What a year!

What a year!
Spring 2013

Friday, July 6, 2012

Hello Everyone,
Greetings to you all. As we celebrate the Independence of America and the freedom we enjoy in this country we also can be reminded that dependence is a good thing too!! If we are depending on the right things that is!! And the right things to put our dependence on are the promises of God's word, and Christ himself who is out life and salvation. So may we declare dependence upon him and experience true freedom!! If the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed!! John 8:36

We are now presently more than half way through our visit to the US and very quickly we will be returning to Europe. Our time here has been wonderful and well spent. We have been greatly blessed and encouraged by our visits with friends and family and supporting churches here in the US. Thank you all for your kindness and hospitality. We certainly sense an under girding support for the work of Calvary Chapel Prishtina. We are so gratefuller for our faithful supporters. We are privileged to have you as partners with us in the work God is doing in Kosova.

Lirak and Josef have been sending me periodic reports from CC Prishtina... And things are alive and well in the fellowship. Lirak is doing a great job standing in the gap and providing for the spiritual needs of the fellowship while Josef is helping with the administrative needs. I am real blessed by their solid and faithful commitment. While Niti has been here in the US as well, a young lady named Jehona has been helping Lirak with both worship and translating. We are also blessed to have Nick Sands with Surge International helping Lirak and Josef. Nick has been teaching some English lessons and is doing some soccer activities with kids in the community. Unfortunately our brother Kevin Fitzgerald and his family are not able to make it to Prishtina to minister to the fellowship do to some health issues that have arisen.

So again please keep us and CC Prishtina in your prayers:
Pray that our time here in the US will be fruitful and rejuvenating.
Pray that God will have his hand upon Lirak, Joseph, Niti, and Jehona. Pray for Niti's wife Lule who is due to give birth anytime now.
Pray for God's leading as far as their plans to return to Kosova is concerned. Pray that God will bless and use Nick as he served at CC Prishtina.
Pray for Pastor Kevin's health that God would extend his healing touch and grace to him.
Pray that God will bless and strengthen all the members of CC Prishtina.
Pray that God will have his hand upon the US troops serving in Kosova.
Pray that God will pour his Spirit out upon the land.

Blessings in Christ,
Mark, Celeste, and Isabella
