International Newsletter January 2010

Dear Friends,

For no reason, the sister of the young leader we are supporting in a Middle Eastern city was thrown in prison. (Because this is a sensitive issue I can’t go into the details of this.) He had just spent all night with a lawyer to get her free before we arrived. The pressure in this city is intense and everything is a battle. Download pdf

Michael Sengle and I met with him and the rest of the Middle Eastern team in a shopping mall where guards open the trunk of your car and check for bombs with a device that is a “bomb sniffer”. We talked about all the young people that had come to Jesus and how much we need to find a place to meet. The venue we had earlier had to be abandoned because of problems with the landlord.

Michael and I prayed with the team there and met with some who recently came to Jesus. I also had the privilege of dedicating a beautiful baby girl to God in an Arab part of the city.

I believe it’s VERY important that this young leader and his family come to our Radical Missions School in Dresden, Germany in 2010. He is exhausted and would really benefit from getting out of the battle for a while so he can get refreshed and built up. His wife also has a condition that has caused all of her hair to fall out and I want to get her to a doctor in Germany. It is not easy to get a visa to leave this country. We also need sponsors for this family. PLEASE pray for this!










This last year has been extremely fruitful. Because of your faithful support the death and resurrection of Jesus was demonstrated publicly before thousands in Finland, Croatia and the Middle East and new full-time works have been established as a result. Other doors have opened to bring Jesus to the lost young people in New Zealand, USA, Australia, White Russia, France, Poland, Turkey and the Middle East.

A second No Longer Music Team led by Luke & Anna Greenwood will begin in 2010 in Sao Paulo, Brazil under the leadership of Sandro Baggio’s church. A big South American evangelistic tour is being planned later this year.

A new European Headquarters is being established outside of Dresden, Germany where we can train, encourage and release hundreds of missionaries like the young leader in the Middle East “because the harvest is great and the workers are few.”

Thank you for the part you play in bringing the love of Jesus to so many.

For the lost,
David & Jodi Pierce
Steiger International
