Pray for God to use this time to challenge them and encourage them to look at how they can be on a mission with God both within their congregations as well as together.

The Teabus ministry started again at the end of October. However, fresh Covid measures that were introduced in November only allow people who are vaccinated or recovered into the bus. Disappointingly, many of the key members of the bus team are not vaccinated and we might not get a viable team together for the rest of the year, which is very frustrating. Please pray for this situation and for new team members.

Please pray that we will get the Christmas parcels in time for Christmas, as last year we got parcels late in February, because of problems with transportation and distribution. We usually give parcels to the school for children with disabilities. The distribution of parcels was really blessed, because children were happy to get parcels anytime and for us it was unusual to tell the Christmas story in February. Pray for children who will hear for the first time about the birth of Jesus and the meaning of Christmas, because every school year

It was so good to be together with the ECM Austria team at Prayer Days in October. There were 4 missionaries there for the first time so it was encouraging to see how the Lord has brought new people to serve in Austria. Also, Simon and Dorit Marshall and Esther Gómez joined us.

The whole weekend was vibrant, inspiring, thought-provoking and, best of all, 3-dimensional!

Pray that they will be able to enter the country without problems, and settle into their respective towns. Also pray for Emily and Samuel Loa-Ferreira from Australia who will arrive in February in 2022.

Thank you for your prayers for my summer travels. Everything went well and it was good to be able to share at several churches about the Bible translation in Inari-Saami. Please, keep prayer for this meticulous and long-term work. When working with the team on Acts, we decided on the right word for "proconsul". We then checked the other New Testament books and found out that in John it read "the compulsive elf"! No doubt that day about how important our work is!
