The pandemic has opened up amarvellous new door of opportunityfor prayer. The Regional Prayer Tripwas to be to Stockholm, Sweden,this year. It was not possible to go,so it was decided that we wouldhave the prayer team and others tojoin together in prayer on Zoom onthe dates we were meant to be inSweden. This was an extremely powerfultime of prayer and has opened thedoor for us to have virtual prayerwalks/meetings in various Europeancountries. One is scheduled foreach month. In June an extremely powerfultime of prayer was had for Finland.July found us praying for Iceland.Dozens of people have joinedtogether for these prayer times. It iswonderful to know prayermissionaries are having an impacton these nations.
