Thousands of students hear Gospel across Europe's universities
A Europe-wide initiative to bring students to Christ has be en met with an enthusiastic response. The Fellowship of Evangelists in the Universities of Europe (FEUER) is being led jointly by the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES) and UCCF: The Christian Unions. FEUER got underway in 2008 and is in the midst of a campaign to hold university missions in 25 major cities in 25 countries in 25 months. Evangelists are giving gospel presentations across the continent under the leadership of Lindsay Brown, International Director of the Lausanne Movement, Richard Cunningham, Director of UCCF, and Martin Haizmann, IFES Europe Regional Secretary. Thousands of students have heard gospel presentations at over 90 missions in UK universities. In the last six months, missions have also been held in Poland, Romania, Armenia and Malta, the latter being joined by the Maltese prime minister.
Pray: for the ongoing success of this initiative. (2Tim.4:5b)
European Union of Prayer
Intercessors from many European nations will meet again in Dublin, May 11th-18th, to pray for Europe and especially for Ireland. In the planning good contacts were made with the Evangelical Alliance and the Lydia prayer movement. A parliamentarian from Northern Ireland, who is a believer, will also visit. Major issues in Ireland at this time are the campaign against the legitimisation of abortion and the economic recovery.
Pray: for God’s mercy for Ireland and its needs, fulfilment of many prophecies for a revival in Europe. (Hab.2:3)

NIGERIA: Prayer is the answer
Since Nigeria's government has proved itself incapable of protecting the country's Christians, the militant Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta has pledged to protect them by targeting Islamic institutions with retaliatory violence. Last year, almost 70% of all Christians killed worldwide were murderd in Nigeria according to International Christian Concern. If sectarian warfare breaks out, Nigeria may become the deadliest place on earth to be a Christian. See: http://www.worthynews.com/12256-is-sectarian-war-stewing-in-nigeria Renowned cleric, Prophet Kayode Abiara has stated that the situation in the country requires urgent prayer and not revolution. He urged Nigerians to pray ceaselessly for the nation, saying it was prayers that had kept the country together- if not for prayers of both Christians and Muslims the country would have collapsed by now. We must thank God for the churches and the mosques. The call by some people for revolution is misplaced. Instead of shedding blood through revolution, Nigerians should pray. God answers prayers.
Pray: for those in positions of authority to have God’s blessing s of wisdom and insight in every situation and may the Church experience God's protection as they stand united. (Ps.133)
