Call to Prayer from Kurt Plagenhoef

Dear Prayer Partners,

“The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” James 5:16

We are calling you to a time of prayer and intercession for us and the work here in Albania, Macedonia and Kosovo. Last night, we came under spiritual attack through demonic dreams. We got up in the middle of the night and began to intercede. Through that time of intercession, we discerned the origin of these attacks, which we will share below. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but spiritual. Let’s take up the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, and the shield of faith, as we stand against the devil’s schemes. We ask you to pray specifically for these needs:

1. For divine protection, unity, spiritual anointing and discernment, authority over principalities and powers, and ministry breakthroughs for miss*y personnel in:

Albania—Kurt and Stephanie and Scott and Suzi and our children
Kosovo—Steve and Lisa and Sebi and Georgiana and their children
Macedonia—Rina, Dardajan, Betuel and Bianca, Elijah, Nik and Deborah

2. For Lisa in Kosovo who is under spiritual attack through chronic pneumonia. She needs total deliverance and healing. Believe with us for this to be immediately manifest in her body.

3. Jesus said, "I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.” Pray that the kingdom of darkness will be uprooted before the mighty working of the Spirit in Mitrovica, Kosovo and Skopje, Macedonia and that our miss*y personnel will have victory. Pray that churches will be planted this year in both cities to the glory of God. There is powerful spiritual resistance in these places as the kingdom of God is advancing. We must stand in faith and declare that the victory is ours and that Satan’s dominion is defeated.

4. Pray specifically for unity in the multi-national teams in Skopje and Mitrovica. The word balkanize, derived from Balkans, means “to divide a region or body into smaller mutually hostile states or groups.” There is a spiritual principality of division in this region. In the past, it has succeeded in dividing nations, ethnic groups, churches, national pastors, marriages, and ministry teams. HOWEVER, WE WILL NOT BE DIVIDED. Declare with us that this principality has no power against the work of God or those who are laboring in his harvest field. Bind the strong man. The enemy is defeated through the work of Christ accomplished on the cross.

5. The work in Mitrovica has been dormant for two years, but we have the promise of God that he will resurrect it. We discerned in the Spirit that the source of this specific attack is from demonic powers in Mitrovica.

Pray that God will breathe new life into the dry bones of Mitrovica.
Pray that a powerful, unified ministry team will be assembled there.
Pray for divine favor and open doors.
Pray for salvation, miracles, healing, dreams and visions to be manifest among the people of Mitrovica, and that many will come to Christ.

6. Stand with us on the promises of God's Word.

“The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.” Rom. 16:20 — Pray that we will soon see the defeat of Satan in Mitrovica and Skopje.
“…we are not unaware of his [Satan’s] schemes.” 2 Cor. 2:11 — Pray that we will all have spiritual discernment, strength to stand against the enemy, and trust in Christ’s power to defeat him.
“…the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one.” 1 Jn. 2:14 — Pray for us to stand in faith upon the Word, be strengthened and encouraged through the Word, and that the Lord will uphold us as we wrestle in the spiritual realm to overcome the evil one.
“The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.” 1 Jn. 3:8 — Declare with us that the devil’s work is defeated through Christ in Albania, Mitrovica, and Skopje.

7. Pray for the upcoming student outreaches from Evangelical Theological College—for protection as we travel, open doors, divine favor, effective evangelism, unity, peace, and authority in the spiritual realm. Pray for the leaders as well.

Team to Kosovo and Montenegro led by Gezim, April 14-18
Team to Turkey led by Kurt, April 15-21
Team to Macedonia led by Ervin and Scott, April 21-25. This team needs free lodging. Pray for this provision.

Thank you, intercessors, for upholding us in prayer. The Lord is faithful to his Word. Please share anything with us that you receive in prayer. We are grateful for your partnership.

Your co-laborers in the harvest,

Kurt and Stephanie Plagenhoef

Albania

Kurt and Stephanie Plagenhoof, missionaries to Albania, report that the church building in Fushe Kruja, Albania, is the first in the history of the city. Though there was opposition on the city counsel to a Christian church being built in a Muslim community, God gave us favor and pushed forward his dream for these lost people. As you can see in the attached picture, the structure has been built, the roof is on, and the walls are plastered. The final step in the project is the installation of tiles, window, doors, the electric system, and painting. We need $50,000 to complete the building phase. As of February 1st, we had to suspend the work due to lack of funds. At the same time, the landlord who owns the building that we are renting has asked us to move out so that he can use it for a business. This has put quite a bit of pressure on us.

However we have just received a wonderful challenge and opportunity! Michael McNamee of Convoy of Hope Europe has pledged to give $25,000 if we can match it with another $25,000 to finish the building. Perhaps two or three churches could meet this need, or if 10 churches or individuals give $2,500 each, the goal will be met. Would you prayerfully do all you can to help? We are so close to completing the work...please help us pass the finish line. Your contribution at this time will have double impact, so that makes it a good investment. The giving information is below. The church is ready to move into the new facility and take the gospel to the next level in the community.

Thank you for helping us to make this vision a reality.

Make checks payable to AGWM.

Springfield, MO 65802

Include a note stating that your contribution is for project number 9043, Fushe Kruja Church.

Also, please keep our Bible college students in prayer. From April 9-13, we will be sending ministry teams to Macedonia, Kosovo, Montenegro and for the first time to a sensitive Muslim country. Ask the Lord for his anointing, presence, authority, and protection. Pray for fruit that will last and for Albanian missionaries to be called and sent.

From Mel Rolls at Rescue Atlanta

Lots of exciting news to share with you this month! First of all, as mentioned in our last E-news the Lord made a way to pay off our facility! This in itself is a miracle as people laughed when we committed to buy this building for ministry. My boast is in the Lord and in Him only!

Finances have been a challenge. As of today, we have zeroed out all of the accounts and we are $3500 in the RED. We have continued to minister to the people God desperately wants, and have continued to give to Missions each month as well. God's heart is Missions. I am convinced that we are here today because we give! We will continue to "Trust God Every Day for Everything!"

Our goal is to be debt free by years end. Will you agree with us? Our biggest expense is Fuel & Food. To be totally vulnerable with you our supporters, we let a few Credit Cards get away from us. They are within reach, and we are making decisions that will help us reach that goal.

Being that most of our family serves here in some capacity, we are going to start car-pooling several days a week. This will enable us to save hundreds of dollars a month as just my car alone goes through 3 tanks of gas a week!

We are looking at ways to stream-line our bus and van routes. Some routes are bigger than others, and some routes may be able to be combined.

We are losing a long time paid staff member on April 8th. We are going to distribute his responsibilities among those "left behind" and even discontinue a few things that aren't "necessary" and use his small salary to put toward debt reduction.

I really feel that God wants us to be Debt Free. It is the way I was discipled and we need to get there in order to not be a slave to the lender. God will provide!

It has been an amazing month of ministry as we have had teams come and serve with us from Florida International University, University of Connecticut, Vanderbilt University, and High School teams from Houston, Texas and Deltona, Florida. What a month of life-changing ministry!

These teams were also an answer to prayer as it helped us financially, as well. The transmission went out on one of our buses and we were not going to "Charge" it. We had to have cash or it was going to "sit". With the "unexpected" UCONN team, (of course God knew) we were able to get it fixed for "cash".

I know we can count on your prayers for these financial needs to be met. We will need some "miracle offerings" for this to happen, but we serve a "Miracle Working God".

Churches all over our Metro are foreclosing on their buildings, and having to file bankruptcy ... we are determined that "if" we go out, we are going out GIVING and with a song of praise on our lips of how Great our God is!

You can give securely via PayPal on our website www.RescueAtlanta.com or sending your most generous gift to Rescue Atlanta P.O. Box 965039 Marietta, Georgia 30066

Just know that we love you and pray for you often. Thanks for listening to God and being a part of what He has called us to do in Atlanta, New Orleans, Miami, Haiti, and Kenya!
