Please pray that the new Via Exulantis brochure, published by the Moravian Society, will inspire those walking the historic 500-kilometer route of Moravian refugees to Herrnhut and ultimately point them to Christ. Praise God that, although our Moravian museum is in a highly secular country, visitors from around the world continue to come. We were especially moved by a group from Korea who sang a Czech worship song they had learned for us, a beautiful reminder that the faith planted in Moravia centuries ago is still bearing fruit around the world.

Athens has over 350 brothels and studios. Through our Nea Zoi team, we regularly visit around 170 of them, supporting women and helping break their isolation. During August, our ministry will be closed. Please pray that the Holy Spirit comforts these women, reminding them that they are seen, loved and not forgotten by God, even when we are unable to visit them.

Thank God for a successful first half-year of our open small group! We grew in unity, in welcoming outsiders and through reading and talking about the Bible together. Thank God for all the new and not-yet believers who joined us and for one woman who started to follow Jesus! Pray that they may all grow deeper roots in their faith and for wisdom for us to disciple them well. Pray that God might lead the right people to our meetings. Praise God that we’re expecting a baby in early November! Please pray for a healthy baby and good further pregnancy.

Please pray for our sport’s camp for Refugees. It will be held from 3-8 August. It will be our 12 years of sports camp for refugees. Pray that we will be able to share the Gospel with all those who come to our event. We also want to praise God for having enough volunteers to help us during this time.

From 1-4 August, please pray for the New Horizon Mission Hub. As part of this summer festival, ECM Ireland will be engaging with people about exploring mission in Europe with ECM. Pray for good connections.

Give thanks for a good Holiday Bible Club and Fun day with the church in July. Pray for a table stand we will have at the Agricultural show in the town today, 2 August. This is a great opportunity to be part of the community and share information about the church. Pray too for changes in ministry and planning as we look to September. Our co-workers will be moving on, and we pray that others in the church will come forward to help with the various ministries.

From tomorrow 2 August, the MacInnes family will be sharing about ministry at our home church in Cambridge, Hope Community Church. And then, on 4 August, Al and Rachel MacInnes will be sharing about ministry at Tea and Chat in St Peter's, Bury St Edmunds.

Please pray for the Biennial Planning Committee and their preparations. Pray specifically that they find the right people to lead and help with the children's programs.

Pray for the liberation of young Portuguese people trapped by smoking, a habit that resembles a "silent epidemic" from pre-adolescence and that society largely ignores. Pray for the interdenominational ministries that are emerging in our region: the Youth Ministry, "Generation Commitment," and the Men's Ministry, Baracks. Pray for the sending of Beatriz and Isabela to the Word of Life Institute in Hungary and for the Christian Social Support Association Caminhar in Ponte de Sor. May it be a place where people hear about God's love. Pray for God's wisdom in the decisions we need to make during our ministry.

Ukraine: Please pray for the next set of prayer letters that the ECM Mobilisation teams will be distributing in the coming weeks and for how we present these amazing stories from the situation in Ukraine on the ECM websites and in social media. Please pray too for couples and families separated because of displacement and/or the men going to the frontline. Whether they fight or try to avoid the army, there are increased mental health issues among men. These factors place marriages under huge strain. Consequently, the divorce rate is rising quickly.

Please pray for people who are interested in Jesus. Pray that their faith will get stronger and deeper. Pray for us as team, as we seek to serve our neighbours and friends.

We are so grateful for the care our son, Shaun, received during the time he spent five weeks in hospital after his surgery. He still has a long road to full recovery so please keep praying for him. I will be attending the Australasian Member Care Network Conference from today, 27-31 July, in Waikanae. Please pray that it will be a fruitful time.

Please pray for the ECM Teens Retreat in Austria, taking place from 26 July to 1 August. Pray that the teens would have a wonderful time together, grow in their faith, build meaningful friendships, and be encouraged through the teaching and activities throughout the week.

Today, 25 July, the Italian Cluster plus friends will be meeting at Bergamo (where Silvio and Tatiana Bizzo planted a church last year) for prayer, support, news, and gelato. Simon will be with us for the day. Pray that it will be a helpful and encouraging time for all.

This weekend 25-26 July we will be holding our Identity in Christ seminar and looking at how we can maintain living out of that definition rather than being snapped back into our learned patterns of thinking and identity. Pray that each person would hear clearly from God about what He says about who they are. Pray that the enemy's plans to stop us living out of that identity would be brought to light and lose their power. Pray that we would be able to communicate clearly in our teaching and love people dearly as we fellowship together. Pray also that God would call people to attend and surprise us with what he wants to do.

Prayer for continued onboarding of new staff, that they may settle into their roles and help us serve our workers and supporters better. Also, continued prayer over the new systems required to provide crucial reporting to workers and supporters after months of delays. Praise God for candidates that have made it to mission worker status and have moved to Europe in the last few months. May God help them settle into their communities.

Please pray for my final month (July) of intensive language learning, for ongoing consolidation and increasing fluency in Spanish, and for deeper conversations with teachers and students as I finish up. Pray too for wisdom as I pray and talk with other workers about the 'what and where next' after summer.

Please join with us in praying for a new asylum-seeking family to whom Roland is a buddy. The 11-year-old son has multiple physical and mental health problems. The family is now registered with a GP and waiting for a paediatric referral for him. We thank God for progress in obtaining medical care and pray for an opening at a specialist school. Do please join us in prayer.

Please pray for our Children's Summer Camp, taking place from today, 20–24. Pray that many children would clearly hear the Gospel, experience Christ's love and take steps of faith. Pray for energy, and good health for the American and Slovenian team members serving together. Please also pray for safety throughout the week, especially during activities and swimming. Finally, pray for the visit from the national television crew, that their coverage would open doors for future ministry opportunities

Thanks for the wonderful 10 days we had with our art installation in the park under the theme ‘An Open and Free Heart’. Please pray for our summer activities with the kids in the park. Please pray for strength and health for all responsibilities during the summer.

Please pray with us as we thank God for His faithful work in us and for His material provision for our needs. Pray that He would continue to work deeply in our hearts, opening the eyes of our hearts so that we may see Him more clearly in His glory and beauty. Pray that His presence and glory would become the source of everything we do. Please also pray for our family vacation, that God would provide the finances we need and guide us into a much-needed time of rest together as a family.

The baptism of 19 Czech prisoners is a powerful step of courage, accountability and inner transformation that brings hope behind bars and paves the way for a successful return to society. Please pray for the prison volunteers guiding this journey — may they be blessed with wisdom, patience, and strength as they restore dignity and faith.

We thank God for His provision in the purchase of the AD Transforma church building in Lisbon. Please pray for God's guidance and preparation as we enter a sabbatical period from September through December.

Praise God that we are increasingly settled and finding our feet a few months after arriving in Romania. Please pray that we would find a home to live in; we need to move out of our current rental in mid-July. Please pray that as we begin to engage in ministry in the life of the Church, that we find the places and ways of serving most effectively for God's kingdom.
