Lisa Russi
France
Lisa works in France where she co-founded Perles de Prix, a movement of churches that offers spiritual direction, resources, friendship, and community to women in prostitution.
Recent Update
She is in the middle of planting my third anti-trafficking outreach in France in the city of Lille. God has assembled a team of wonderful volunteers to come together at night in the middle of a work week to share Christ's love to a marginalized group. It is a testament to the love and transformation that comes from Christ that his followers would choose to do this!
Prayer Request
Pray for connections with the women trafficked into prostitution that they meet on the streets. Pray for both physical and spiritual health for the volunteers as they walk into these dark places.
Weston & Alison Stover
Portugal
The Stover's work in Portugal on University Campuses to see the lives of college students changed! Along with that, they are working with the local church to share the gospel.
Recent Update
They've been spending time on campus at the University of Lisbon. One of their goals has been using the time to gain insight into campus culture in Portugal. They've built a great relationship with one student, in particular, who has become a sort of culture guide for them. She has been invaluable in how things work at the university level in Portugal! She is far from Christ, so in addition to praising God for her willingness to help them, we're also praying for her to find Jesus.
Prayer Request
As they're pioneering university student ministry in Portugal, there isn't an understanding of its importance already instilled in the church. So they'd also love prayers for being able to cast vision effectively and widely - in their second language nonetheless! They want to be inspiring and deep at the same time, not sacrificing one for the other.
