PRAYER UPDATE FEBURARY 16, 2016 CLUJ NAPOCA, ROMANIADear Prayer partner, The New Year has been given unto us! This is a responsibility. I sensed God’s help in my 3 months at the year end of 2015 in Israel. Your prayers were helpful. I sought the will of Christ for each day. I am thankful for many contacts in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa & Tiberias. In Haifa I met a humble Jewish woman who seemed to be open. Her husband is of Christian background. I pray for her to find the truth. A lot of literature was distributed in Haifa at the Arab-Christian celebrations the last 3 Saturdays of December. This is a yearly celebration. I pray for God’s blessing on the literature that was distributed. I had contact with churches in the towns where I distributed. There was blessed fellowship with fellow believers. A church in Jerusalem paid for 7 implants on my upper gums. I plan to return to Israel in Oct. 2016 and then the implants can be completed. I was one month in France trying to prepare for a 5 week trip to Romania & Crete. I needed that month and I am thankful for tracts distributed especially in the area where I live. My local church in Longjumeau, FR is behind me in prayer and is helpful in time of need. Feb. 8 I flew from Paris to Cluj, RO for the completion of my first implant. I met with pastor Beni Lairu who pastors an Independent Baptist church. His wife Laura is my dentist. I will have in Cluj 2 meetings on fasting at the Baptist Church of Evangelical Light, Feb 17 & 18. I had scheduled a 3 day fasting conference in Mioveni church for Feb 12-14. I finished this meeting and I sense God’s blessing on it. This is unique and the idea came from Matt 15:32 when the people who came to be healed by Jesus by the Sea of Galilee on a mountain ate nothing for the 3 days. The leadership asked for a 7 day fasting conference for Feb 6-12, 2017, with no food as in Matt 15:32. Feb 23 I leave for Heraklio, Crete, Greece until Mar 14, when I return to France. I will be with pastor Sotiris Karalis who pastors in Heraklio. I stayed with his family during my extended fasts on Crete. I feel any witness in Greece is strategic. As usual I plan a trip in France putting up Biblical posters, visiting believers & churches and going to Switzerland to get literature and to visit pastor Hans Rufenact in Bienne. The summer tour starts in early June for 3 months. I plan to go north from Romania to Ukraine. The summer camp in Rucar will be July 30 to Aug. 6. For guidance: Ezra 8:21-23 God responded to Ezra’s fasting prayer and told him what to do. He will do the same for you. Is 58:11 Michael Bentley
