6 SLOVAKIA Slant Wendell & Patti McClung October 2013 Newsletter about Slovakia from a different perspective... THE LORD IS IN THE DETAILS! We are celebrating one year after Patti went to USA for open heart surgery on Oct. 26, We are SO thankful for God s faithfulness in working out ALL the details. Patti is doing great, has no side effects and takes no prescription medicine. Thank you once again for praying with us for Patti s healing. We want to ask for special prayer this month for a region-wide evangelistic outreach sponsored by our church and taking place in a large arena in our city of Kosice, Slovakia. We are believing for over 2,000 souls to come to Christ. We have 200 Slovak counselors, 150 Roma (Gypsy) counselors, as well as Polish, Ukrainian and Hungarian counselors trained and ready to help. Daniel Kolenda and Todd White will be here on Saturday, Oct. 19. Kolenda is a missionary evangelist and successor to Reinhard Bonnke as President of Christ for All Nations, a Christian Missions organization. EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED. How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? Romans 10:13-14 PLEASE PRAY with us and BELIEVE for: * Evangelistic Outreach speakers and workers - Oct. 19 * Lost people to come with open hearts * Message to be clear and anointed * New converts to get plugged in to a local church * Teams to come and help with ministry, construction, etc. * Continued health, strength and wisdom for Patti & me Wendell with Roma Pastors We are still hearing great testimonies from the outreach we had in April. One church is planting a satellite church and the new congregation has 80 plus people that come by bus to the mother church. The new church is being adopted by a church in Nebraska thru the "Adopt a Community" program of Convoy of Hope Europe. Will you pray with us for the new community? Over the next few years we will be constructing a church building for them. We also will be investing in the Roma villages to help improve the rough living conditions and to show the love of Christ in tangible ways. You may send support to: McClung Acct. # AGWM, 1445 Boonville Ave. Springfield, MO Remember to check out our website for ministry news, photos and videos. THANK YOU AGAIN! THANK YOU once again for your prayers and generous giving to help us be here and come along side the national church to reach Slovaks and Roma for Jesus Christ.
