Dear CEF workers in Europe,
As it was announced on Sunday afternoon at conference, we plan to start a new prayer initiative called HOPE for EUROPE. As part of this, we will meet on zoom each month.
The meetings will take place on the first Wednesday of the month (7 Sep, 5 Oct, 2 Nov, 7 Dec etc.) at 10:00 (swiss time).
We will offer translation for this via zoom. Please let me know who can translate for your language (if needed). The prayer time will last approximately 45 minutes.
The link is below and will always be the same:
