We are entering into the bookstall season now, with various town fairs happening in this period as well as people going shopping more often than usual with Christmas coming up. We usually have one bookstall at Trento in early December, but this year there are going to be four, so you can pray for these. Tomorrow (November 15) and on December 7 we have a table at one of the large shopping centres. On November 25 there is the major market day of the year at Rovereto, and we will have a bookstall there as well. This one is important not only to create visibility for the new witness in that town, but also to actively involve the group there in the vision we have to grow the witness and eventually plant a church at Rovereto. Then on December 1 there will be a bookstall in the centre of town at Trento.

I have finished my normal three cell groups for the week now, and it has been an unusually exciting week seeing how God has worked in them. Both on Tuesday at Rovereto and on Wednesday at Trento there were new people in the group; at Rovereto there was in fact more people than we have ever had, which is creating some problems fitting into the lounge room we use. There was also an increased feeling of being part of a group together in both of them; I got home later than usual both times, because the people just kept on chatting. The greatest thrill of all was seeing how God had prepared one of the members of the Wednesday group over the last couple of years for something new in her life and in the church. It is a complicated story, so I will leave it to another post in a few days’ time in order to give it the space that is deserves.
