Edmonton and Nearby Regions:

  1. New Meeting Hall: Please consult the most recent update sent through the announcement email. We pray

    • At the same time, we also pray for the Lord to enlarge our hearts and extend his blessing to the meeting hall projects in Kitchener and Winnipeg.

Europe and Beyond:

To learn more about the needs in Europe, consult Lord’s Move to Europe (LME) and especially their Reports and Prayer Burdens. Some of the most recent needs are copied below.

Burdens related to Europe (updated: Jan 25 2026)

1) Gospel trips in Italy and in other countries in Europe (January and February) 

Gospel trips related to the Torch Relay (TR) and Olympic Games (OL) in Italy will continue until February 23. Also, teams of FTTA trainees are currently visiting Italy and other countries in Europe. Reports from the FTTA related to these trips are available at ftta.org/gospeltrips. Please see the prayer burdens in these reports. A letter with instructions to register for follow-up shepherding trips in Italy is available here. Saints who are burdened to give through LME for the Lord’s move in Italy can follow the instructions at lordsmove.org/offerings.html. Designate offerings for “Italy Olympics.” 

2) Meeting Hall in Stuttgart, Germany 

An update on the progress of the renovation of the meeting hall in Stuttgart, Germany, is available on the website stuttgart-meeting-hall.info. A letter giving more details is available here. Instructions on donating to this project are given on the website and in the letter. 

3) UK building project, the training center for all of Europe, the Full-time Training in London 

A letter of fellowship from the co-workers in Europe, which was read at the 2025 December semiannual training in Anaheim, is available here. Additional reports are available at amanatrust.org.uk/page/reports. Please pray that the Lord will provide the necessary funds and serving ones to carry out the construction. Saints who are burdened to give through LME can follow the instructions at lordsmove.org/offerings.html. Designate offerings for “UK Building Project.” 

4) Raising up of a lampstand in Gdansk, Poland

Gdansk is a city in the north of Poland at the Baltic sea, a little less than an hour by car from the nearest local church and about four hours by car from Warsaw. Recently, a couple in Poland moved to Gdansk to labor at a main university there. In November some from the Warsaw campus team went to Gdansk for the gospel. They contacted several students and met a teacher of Chinese language who had been in the church life in the Far East for 7 years. This teacher has become very useful in obtaining rooms on the campus for the saints to meet in, and she has a heart to take care of the students. At the end of January a gospel team from the FTTA will spend time in Gdansk.

Please pray: 

  • That the Lord will reach more seeking ones in Gdansk through the gospel trip and that two more families will move to Gdansk and live near the university; 
  • That the Lord will raise up a lampstand in Gdansk to spread His testimony in Poland.

5) Translation of the New Testament Recovery Version into Czech and Slovak

A report on the ongoing labor to translate the New Testament Recovery Version into the Czech and Slovak languages, with burdens for prayer, can be found here. Please pray for the translation team in their uninterrupted work of translating the NT text and footnotes.

6) Short-term shepherding trips and migrations to French-speaking Europe 

An invitation letter to participate in the ongoing short-term shepherding trips is available here. Instructions on how to apply and where to ask questions are included in the letter. Please pray:  

  • That the Lord will raise up lampstands in Rouen, Lille, Versailles, Mertzig (Luxembourg), Geneva (Switzerland), Marseilles, Caen, Nantes, and Montpellier.  
  • That the Lord will increase the team of full-time serving ones in Paris to take care of the Lord’s needs throughout French-speaking Europe. Please pray for the release of long-stay visas for these saints.  
  • That many students, families, and mature saints will migrate to France within the next several years for the Lord’s interest. 

To give through LME for the support of the full-time team in Paris, follow the instructions at lme.org/offerings.html. Designate offerings for “Gospel Move in France.”
