Thurman Update #7 (Written July 29th, 2005)

A little side story with regards to our travel to Germany:

We left early Saturday morning from Cyprus for Istanbul and spent the day Saturday in Istanbul...We got up again 3:30A.M. Sunday morning to catch a bus to the airport. The bus driver showed up late, when Dan and I went to go find him we saw him in the parking lot sifling gas out of parked car, we don’t know if it was his or just some random car....luckily we made it to the airport (and didn’t run out of gas) and we even caught our flight. Just wanted to share something you don’t see every day in the states!

2005 Prayer Days in the Eifel, July 24 to August 5, involve:

1 – A 24/7 prayer room in Gemünd, where individuals can sign up to spend an hour (or longer) with God each day.
2 – Mornings: Community prayer from 9 to noon in the Kurpark Hotel, Gemünd.
3 – Afternoons: Freedom to be led by the Spirit in forming friendships with local people, enjoying the Eifel or joining the bicycle prayer team.
4 – July 24-30: A team praying along the route of the old Roman road through the Eifel from Trier to Cologne on bicycles.
5 – August 1-5: We are waiting to discern more of what God has in mind beyond the 24/7 prayer room for this second week.

Please pray:

1 – We see God stirring hearts and assembling an international group of intercessors. Pray for His protection over and within us, and His molding us together in unity.
2 – We are still trusting the Lord for the right location for the 24/7 prayer room. What is His first choice?

Love,
