Dear Loved Ones:

After talking with Rachel today on the phone about Fred being in the
hospital in Italy, I agreed to FORWARD to you her Prayer Letter of today

of Fred being in the hospital..  Jonathan and Melodee arrived  today with
her (Visa) there  today and will take the responsibility of the Services
this Sunday.  Mindful Jeremiah 33:3 "Call unto me and I will answer thee,
and show the great and mighty things which thou knowest not"

I hope you are on praying ground with the Lord for we have a bit of work for
you to do. 

We are very excited about Jonathan and Melodee

Central Italy). Elizabeth, Daniel and Cristina

were here in March; Daniel (along with his friend and former manager Tim
Corey) spent much of the time working on revamping the computers of the
radio station and a thousand other projects. On March 28 he led an all-day
radio marathon which included the participation of the different speakers
that have live programs throughout the day. Mauro Ferraris

all the way form Grand Rapids, Michigan. We are getting a great team of
folks from our church that are learning to do live programs. Daniel
continues to direct the station from Clarks Summit until they can get the
support needed to be here where they are so badly needed. They are still
between 20-25%, but today the dollar hit another record low so as time
passes they need more dollars to have the same amount of support. Pray that
they can fill up their schedule for this fall, and that God would lead new
churches to partner with them. If your church is interested in hearing their
presentation you can contact them by writing to them on their website

Jeremy and Francesca have sold their home and arrive in Italy on May 6th.
Pray that Jeremy will soon find a job and Francesca can get started on
finishing her college studies that she had suspended to marry Jeremy! We are
excited to have them back and are trusting God to help them get settled back
into Italian life. 

We have had an unusual number of folks visit the church this month, as well
as calls from radio listeners or folks that watch the TV program. Most every
Sunday the church is packed, and oftern there are visitors. Floriana (a
middle aged woman), Alexxandra (Romanian teen),and Roman (Ukrainian young
teen from Maria Luisa

ep9g> 's Sunday School class) have placed their trust in Christ since we
last wrote. 

We have a number of young parents with little ones coming so we are anxious
to be in the new church where we will have a room for the nursery. It is
hard not to get frustrated when we have this building but cannot move in
yet. 

We cannot start the remodeling work because of a lack of funds. We cannot
have any groups come to help in the other projects until the steel structure
(which will cost $60,000) is in place. We are praying for a miracle - God
has no problem providing large sums, since He specializes in doing the
impossible. 

Could we ask you to pray about what God might want you to do? If everyone
who reads this letter could give something, we would begin to see God's
provision for this project. God blessed the woman who gave the mite, as well
as the one who gave more, so no gift is too small or too large! Our church
folks are giving with great sacrifice to pay the monthly mortgage payment,
as well as the rent and utilities. Just this month the electric and gas went
up over 4%. 

Fred needs your prayers. He is having another episode with dizziness and
high blood pressure like he did during our last furlough. The doctor ordered
a number of tests and increased his BP medicine; she thinks the dizziness
has to do with his degenerative neck and back. On Friday his dizziness was
not getting better, so he was admitted to the hospital, where he is at now.
God is not bringing Jonathan and Melodee back any too soon. 

Pray for Sara

(she is 10 months old and already walking!) while he continues his
responsibilities in the church at Bologna. They have their hands full, but
Sara is hopeful to be able to finish her degree by November 2008. 

We are humbled as we consider the sacrifices that many of you make to allow
us to serve God here in Perugia. May God supply your every need. 

Love in Christ, 

Rachel Whitman (for Fred)
