April 23, 2011   Dear Friends,   Cathy and I rejoice at the progress of the Gospel in Europe.  Reports continue to come in of lives transformed by the Gospel.  Klaus and Fränzi Libuda in Rostock, Germany, recently reported encouraging signs of growth and involvement in home Bible studies.   They, along with Justin and Kristin Sismey, continue to develop good relationships in the community.  ECMI-USA’s Alison Settle has shared encouraging progress in raising her support as she prepares to serve in Rostock.  Pray for Alison that she will see all of her support come in soon. Our involvement in raising up resources for the work in Europe continues to go well (See pictures below). Clair Longuevan and I spent some time in California last month on several college campuses interacting with students interested in missions.  Pray we will effectively follow up on the 50 or so new contacts we made from our time in CA.  We also spent time at Carlsbad Community Church which is sending out two teams this summer – one to Kosovo and one to Germany.  I really enjoyed my time with these teams in helping prepare them for their time on the field. Just last weekend Cathy and I had the wonderful privilege of assisting in Hans and Jennifer Anderson’s commissioning service.  They left for Spain this past Tuesday, and by all accounts arrived in good shape with their two young children, Jack and Eliana.  Pray for their adjustments as they get settled and start their orientation for field ministry. Praise God for the workers He continues raise up. Please check out the pictures below and remember to pray for us and the ministry of ECMI. With grateful hearts, George for Cathy and the family P.S.
