Please pray for the family of Gateway volunteer counselor Ursula Berty



Urusla's mother, Gizella, went to be with the Lord yesterday.

{The above picture is of Ursula's dad and mom as they celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in 2005}


Here is Ursula with Herve, one of the baby's born to a woman she ministered to at Gateway-Elizabeth.



Ursula has been a faithful Gateway volunteer for many years.

Update: Ursula wrote this note to a friend a few minutes ago:

My dad sounded so weak and sad --- understandable after 64+ years of marriage. To the best of my knowledge, neither my father nor the rest of my family in the U.S. or in Hungary know the Lord. I'll be returning on Monday afternoon. So thanks again for everyone's prayers.

Please pray for
Girmay Ambaye

... and consider this observation by a pastor in Wisconsin:

“We are too comfortable.

The sin which so easily entangles in America is comfort, apathy, and a perpetually high expectationfor convenience.

This hit home when I sat in Dunn Brother’s (a very, very comfortable coffee place) with a dear brother from Eretria.

This brother had just returned from suffering severe persecution in Eretria. Comfort was no entanglement there! Apathy? Relatively unknown. The expectation is not convenience but rather incarceration.

Don’t you ever wonder why our experience of the Holy Spirit’s power seems so small? The believers in the first centuries experienced His power amidst the trembling of persecution and death threats (Acts 4:31). The believers in Eretria model such experience today.

I want to stretch out further in faith, past convenience, and place myself in positions where I need to feel the greatness of His power.”

Dean’s note: After a call to Voice of the Martyr’s I learned that the religious prisoners in Eretria are often imprisoned in metal freight boxes stacked one on the other. This has been mentioned at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3663654.stm (see below)

Please pray for Girmay Ambaye (see above photo), using the prayer guide at the link below
