Establishing a CEF ministry in Luxembourg

Luxembourg is a tiny landlocked country in western Europe, bordered by Belgium, France, and Germany. It has a population of over half a million people in an area of approximately 2,586 square kilometres (998 sq mi). Three languages are recognised as official in Luxembourg: French, German, and Luxembourgish. It is also one of CEF's three target countries that we are seeking to establish an ongoing ministry in by 2017. 

Why has this little land proved so difficult to penetrate with the Gospel? Perhaps the countries motto gives an indication of the Spiritual resistance that is ever present, "Mir wëlle bleiwe wat mir sinn"; translated: "We want to remain what we are". Pray that people will see the need to reach children with the Gospel, which is the power of God to transform lives.

Praise God for the encouragements we are seeing in these days. Recently 24 participants completed our 30-hour teacher training course (TCE-1). Please pray that as a result, at least one Good News Club will be opened. Pray too that the Lord will raise up a person who would be willing to represent CEF part-time in the country.
