Europe—Prayer Network Leaders Meeting Highlights and Upcoming Initiatives and Projects

(Highlight notes as reported by George & Evi Markakis, Shalom Center, Athens, who were guests at this meeting. An official report can come only from the leadership of the European Union of Prayer (EUOP). The meeting took place on November 30, 2010, in Brussels, and was organized by Ortwin Schweitzer and the European Union of Prayer. )
The meeting began with worship, and the Spirit gathered 8 or 9 ministries/networks as one. Self-introductions of each ministry acquainted everyone in a humble way and set a good tone for the meetings. Each ministry/network commented on essentials pertaining to Europe. Several prayer leaders encouraged and inspired to work to change and save Europe. “Israel” factored into topics. Tomas Sandell emphasized the relevance of Israel for the European affairs of our days through historical references and sharing of certain values and projects of the European Coalition for Israel which aim at affecting the politics of Europe in the “right” direction and dealing with the problem of anti-Semitism.
Please pray for Europe:
1. For the HOPE for EUROPE II conference, May 9-13, 2011, in Budapest, Hungary. Specific prayer requests found at www.hfe.org
2. For Operation Capitals of Europe’s planning meetings on January 14-27, 2011, in Strasbourg, Luxembourg, and Brussels—especially for planning clarification.
3. For a possible Gatekeepers of Europe prayer retreat in Athens and Corinth. Pray for quieting the soul to listen for God’s direction on this.
4. For a possible combined European Networks project concerning the Olympic Games in 2012 and calling for all the Prayer Networks of Europe to respond to the cry of the Continent against the pagan/demonic influence emanating from the Olympic Games’ rituals.
