- Details: Emily (& Blake) Ackerson, Bridges International, Australia Nearly three years ago, Victor, a pastor of a small church located next to a housing complex for international students attending the University of New South Wales, connected with Power to Change (Cru in Australia) with a desire to reach international students with the gospel. The church now hosts monthly dinners and social gatherings in the building, and several students have started attending church. One volunteer launched a Bible study with Chinese students, and one student has already trusted Christ! Pray that they can develop a fully established team on campus next year so more students can encounter Jesus. Blake and Emily are thankful for prayers for their son, Nathaniel. Over the past few months, he has truly turned a corner at school, and they have been amazed to watch him step into friendships and classroom learning with growing confidence. They honestly can’t explain it apart from God graciously hearing our prayers. Continue to pray for Emily’s health. Croatia (Europe). Population: 3,848,160 Believers: 0.4%. The deep impact of historic and recent hatred among Croat, Serb, and Bosnian may hurt the nation for generations to come. Pray for true reconciliation and for God to break these religious and ethnic bondages through the power of Christ! From Operation World DVD-ROM 2010 and www.operationworld.org
