One of Radstock's Albanian friends who is currently church planting, sent some prayer news yesterday. It included this thought-provoking entry.

UNSEEN WORLD

Missions, church planting, would have been much easier if it was just us and the people. But the Bible says to us that we battle not against flesh and blood.. There is a real enemy that opposes us and what we do, every step of the way, in anyway he can.  It seems there is always some sort of heated conflict to resolve in the last month, among individuals in the church, or people in the team, sometimes within the families. Miscommunications  misunderstandings, and unhappiness from someone about something have happen strangely often . While these things can create a great opportunity for growth if dwelt correctly and in a Godly manner,  at the same time can drain your strength, and if you are not careful make you loose your focus. We see this time as one needed to be spend on hour knees more then just traing to solve puzzles. And we do need your support in intercesion for these things.
