As of 1 September 2008

Pray from Bro. Noel as he supports his family in a very difficult situation in the Philippines.  His brother has been falsely accused of a serious crime.  Pray that justice may be done. 

The Filipino Fellowship will be holding its Anniversary Celebration on Saturday evening, September 20.  Their theme will be "No Other Name..." from Acts 4:12.  Pastor Dan Standridge will be bringing the message from God's Word.  Pray that many will hear the Gospel and trust Christ at this event.

Pray for the Women's Retreat being planned for this fall (October 31-November 2).  Susie Sartarelli from the USA will be coming to serve as our speaker.  She will be bringing a team of women to support her ministry. 

In the lawsuit against our sister church, Chiesa Stadera,  lawyers from both sides met with the judge this past Tuesday (28 January) who finally set a date for the “final arguments” to be presented to her.  When?  Next January, 2009.  That’s right, a full year from now.   This means the judge will be obligated to render a decision six months later in June of 2009 and, we hope, bring the lawsuit to its final conclusion.
Sis Katty continues faithfully to serve with OM in the Torino area.  She just returned from a summer evangelistic opportunity in the Far East.  She's praising the Lord for an excellent time there.
