Dear Friends of Eastern Europe Renewal:

The Peace of the Lord be always with you.

Thank you very much for your prayers over the last several weeks. The Lord has been good to me, keeping me safe and healthy and using me in various places to encourage people in His Truth and Kingdom.

The time in Australia was quite full and excellent. The plane landed in Brisbane 14 hours late, so the beginning was not relaxed. The Presbyterian Church of Mt. Tamborine hosted a conference of afternoon and evening lecture/discussions with dinner in between. Basically 2 Churches, one Pentecostal and one Reformed, came together for this and the friendly cross fertilization was a joy to witness. The School of Worldviews at YWAM in Brisbane is happening for the second time and going very well. The students are increasingly interested in Truth and seem to me a first wave of post-post modern young people. I don’t know where this is heading but so far it is encouraging. L’Abri in Sydney is in very good condition with inviting in, reaching out, making friends and serving in various places. We had 2 all day Saturday conferences with some other lectures and sermons in between. I talked so much in the winter weather that an infection got me in the throat and I had no voice on arriving home. The voice is back and I’m going off to England today for more talking.

The European Leadership Forum in Hungary was bigger and better than ever. I’m very privileged to be part of it. In the Autumn I should go to Prague for some lectures at the University because of connections made at the ELF.

The work in the Lausanne Church 2 weekends/mo. is going well. Even though it is summer holiday season we had a good group last Sunday. The Young People’s group, which meets monthly, has very good conversations about new and old questions.

The visit from my nephew and his girlfriend went very well. The hotels were full because of the European Soccer in Basel, so they had to camp with us. We enjoyed each other a lot and hope they will come back.

Travel in June will include a Christian Artists’ Conference in England and 2 days at English L’Abri, followed by a week in Romania. In August I will mostly stay in Switzerland and do some teaching at a Youth With A Mission base and in a Church in Biel as well as the work in Lausanne. Mary is well and enjoying our birds, who are still not parents. In a separate mail I will try to send some photos of recent activities.

Thank you again for all your prayers, friendship and support. May the Lord bless and keep you in all your ways.

Yours in Christ,

Ellis H. Potter
