Happy Thanksgiving Nov 21, 2006
Missionary/Pastor Abel Aureli
Dear beloved in Christ,

This is just a quick message to let you know that by the grace of God we are all well and that my traveling is going just as well.

Right now I am in Charlotte, NC. God willing next Tuesday the 28th, I will take my flight back to Italy.

At this time some of you may be traveling to join other family members all over the nation, so you will probably see this message when you go back home, still, my family and I would like to take this opportunity to wish you, your loved one and your church, a very Happy Thanksgiving with many blessings from our Heavenly Father.

Please pray for our daugther in-law Bridget, who is in a Boston, MA hospital and needs to be operated on unless God intervenes. Pray also for our son Sam (her husband) and their two children Brendan and Sergio. Also, continue to pray for myself while traveling and for the rest of our family in Italy and in the States.

In Christ our Savior and Lord,

Your italian missionaries,
Abel and family

Dear Beloved in Christ,

Greetings and blessings from The Aureli's in Frosinone, Italy.

We are doing well and pressing forward, towards the finiscing line, when Christ will appear again to glorify us and live with Him forever.

I am pasting some views of the city of Frosinone. We hope you will enjoy them.

Lately we have been very busy with my father in-law, who needs someone to watch after him all the time. So, Anna and all of us are running back and forth as needed. Of course, this is noting to us, who know the truth of the Gospel and have Jesus as our Capitain and deliverer.

Although the enemy likes to try and test us every once in a while, we have learned that he is just a fake and is bluffing all the time.

Two weeks ago I went through a bad situation, when through a bronchite my lungs were fillid with fluids, and I was not able to breath any longer. I cried to God and I was able to make it to the emergency room and they helped me get back to normal. They said that my main artery (the Aorta), got enlarged, as well as one of my "ventricle", so the whole heart got enlarged because it had to overwork, but thank God nothing permanent, so now I am back to normal.

As many of you already know, I am leaving Tuesday Oct. the 10th for t he States and this time will travel to NJ/NY area, Phoenix and Tucson AZ, Denver and Colorado Springs CO, Sacramento CA, Dallas TX, Ft. Lauderdale FL, Charlotte NC and then back to NJ to take my flight back to Germany and Italy.

I have already contacted the churches we know or that we are trying to get an appointment with, but if you have received this newsletter and you are located in any of the above areas, please get in touch with me at 617-331-0129, or through the internet, at "info@operitaly.org, or operitaly@hotmail.com&qu ot;. Also, if you are not located at any of the above locations, please let me know if you want me to visit you and your church next fall.

Our goal is to glorify God by reaching as many unsaved people as possible with the saving message of the Gospel and at the same time, share with our Brothers and Sisters of "like faith" in the States, about the great spiritual need of this nation, so you can pray better for Italy, for us and for every other worthy ministry in this nation.

We want to thank you for your prayer and for the financial help you sent for the car we had to buy for Joshua. We are realizing how useful it's for Joshua to have a car, because this is allowing me to have more freedom from the everyday needs in the house, since Anna does not drive.

We also want to ask you to continue praying for our monthly support, to raise, because during this past year we have lost a few supporters. As we were until a couple of months ago, it was just barely enough for our survival, but now we just found our that because of a split in their church, we have also lost le largest support we had from a church in IL, which was $400.00 per month! This has been the biggest blow agaist us and to our ministry since about ten years ago. Please see if the Lord would grant you to share that loss with us and also pray that we will soon find a replacement support .

We thank God that the Frosinone church as it's going ahead and it is paying the monthly mortgage, and it's self-supporting, but our evangelistic ministry is the one suffering the most from the already well known exchange value with the Euro.

Last night we had our second youth meeting in our church and we are planning to have a regional meeting with other local churches for Spring 2007.

Please pray that as soon as I come back for this trip at the end of November, we will be able to put an evangelistic team together from our churches and start reaching village after village, all this province of Frosinone. Of course we welcome other teams which may come from time to time from our supporting churches in the USA, but the main work needs to be done by people who know the language, since very few italians understand English.

Please keep me in prayer during this traveling time, that God will grant me favors with every church I get in touch and also, pray for my family, because while I am away they need to do much more work at home and for the church.

Thank you for all your love and for your care. I wish I could see everyone of you all together. One time I tried to have meetings in a restaurant in the city I traveled, but since not everyone lives in the big cities, it doesn't seem to be very practical.

Well, until next time or until I see you along this trip, we want to thank you again from the bottom of our heart and pray that God will grant you all the desires of your heart, which are according to His will.

Love in Christ to everyone,
From your missionaries: Abel, Anna and Joshua Aureli

Meet Our Missionaries in the Philippines
Brian and Mirte Longridge and Family

From: Brian and Mirte Longridge To: brianmirte_longridge@yahoo.com Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2006 7:31 PM Subject: hi nov newsletter Longridges ~ Newsletter Nov ‘06 -----The broken are crying out… They are all around where you are too…Will you go for Him?..........*Hi beloved missed friends…

An old skinny man, Mike they call him, 76 years old, in the leprosy camp is blind; In fact he has been so desperate that this time he stuck a knife in his heart but it got stuck between the bones of his ribs….

**The last suicide attempts were cutting his wrist through and refusal to eat (they put a tube in him when he was too weak to resist)… He gave his heart to Jesus and promised with tears in his eyes never to attempt to kill himself again…. Jesus loves him, so why would he….

This time we come again, his eyes covered with white staring into the nothing somehow show a joy

*Janet really needs prayer, (not on photo) having leprosy, she is also fighting for oxygen most of the time we come there, she has liver condition and has a swollen face and is in so much pain…

She knows Jesus now, we usually pray, and sing with her while rubbing her head, but it is very hard to see her in so much pain...

We long to see them healed, but please pray that more of them may be touched…. You tend to get close to them, they are such a precious people… They might not have much but their spirits are rich...

The last three months a lot of people in the leprosy camp have been able to become born again, Thank you Jesus!!!!!….

*We long to reach this city for Him. Cebu is the center for drugs and sex in the Philippines, and there is so much abuse among the street girls and boys. One in twelve boys is openly gay here and approx 95% have been abused…We encourage evangelism and recently had a prayer day for the Moslems with the pastors here

Together with Rob Boswel and some others we helped launch a 20 day evangelism campaign, in a coliseum, someone sponsored giving the evangi-cube to all the pastors- a real strong good tool of evangelism…

--155 churches from all over the big island of Cebu were present!!!!!!!!!!
The afternoon in the coliseum was training on evangelism,
and in the evening Brian…. and I did harp and bowl
intercession for Cebu with them…

-----The Philippines is known for one of the highest immigration and working visas to the 10-40 window (in the Middle East, where all the Moslems live like Saudi Arabia, Kuweit etc. ----------*** ***WHEN THEY CONVERT, SINCE THEY ARE EXPRESSIVE PEOPLE, and are sent to the middle east, they naturally become perfect missionaries to those Islamic nations, where missionaries usually Never are able to enter on a missions visa….With the harp and bowl, house of prayer, we arranged together with Sean and Guan, the launching of a 30 day prayer fasting for the Islamic nations (which now so desperately need our prayers)…

----Many pastors came forward as a sign of surrendering their life for reaching the lost through evangelism, there were many tears and God was strongly present….

***Many received Christ in the 20 day campaign after through evangelism.

Rebecca has now gone to the Netherlands after her high school, forstudying for nursing, her childhood dream… She is staying with Mirtes’ parents, we really miss her though..L

Leesha and esp. Jasmine have really grown, Leesha needed glasses, and they are really fond of each other.. They both have also been evangelizing with the cube and brought some children and one lady to Jesus, for privacy sake, we’ll call her Annie…

***Annie is from Mindanao where the Muslims live, she cried the whole day after because of so intensely feeling the love the Lord had for her which really encouraged and touched Jasmine to continue evangelizing.

Annie has been really abused by her husband, he even put people in a cage he owned including her (does that still happen these days!?!?!?!)

She ran away from him but he has her three children… She lives here in the slums and has a little daughter, and the eldest of the three recently also came to live with her…

Here Annie’s little girl

Ia and Mary Fay (not Mary Jane from last time) are another two streetkids who gave their hearts to Christ, also three little boys Aldwin, Jayjay and Peter… On the mountain behind our house in the slum area, 18 people gave their hearts to Jesus, little children, and also older ones, 17, 18 yrs old...

At the dumpsite we had a day of worship with the dumpchildren and sang songs about Jesus and they got dinner… Pray for Melchore, he is now a pastor of the children there, a really humble lovely person who really lives close to God...

She knows Jesus now as a personal savior...

Every two weeks we go to prison now, and last time we were able to address a whole group of criminals, and to our joy 54 of them came forward… -some in tears- to give their lives to Jesus, who loves them So dearly...

We have a box of new testaments ready for them next time we go there, please pray they stay close to Jesus as they are only babies in Christ...

We are still coming together with different churches 5 times a week for intercession for this city, also with the head of Ywam, for harp and bowl intercession for Cebu... it feels like a real privilege and we are excited to see God already moving in different areas… something really miraculous happened also but this letter is getting too long, will share next time if ok

****One more thing that has been really encouraging is that we had angelic manifestation at our harp and bowl night on Tuesday (Tuesdays is in different churches). It was at a very small church upstairs, and different people heard angels sing “Holy Holy Holy” repeatedly, while others noticed the piano sound was turning unusually beautiful, while it didn’t seem to come from Brian…. Even the drummer heard it… Thank You God....

Some beautifull ladies with leprosy

(Again, that of course this has nothing to do with our so-called spirituality- we are not carrying halos on our heads, don’t worry)

Its actually really touching to see How God always works in spite of people, not because of people… but has everything to do with His loving sweet grace…

Jesus has us now….
(brother sister)

Even writing this letter is sometimes very hard it feels like we are talking about all good things we do, we feel actually the opposite,- really amazed He can use the nobodies in this world for His kingdom, please read our hearts...

We are really excited to be in the Philippines, and really are enjoying the unity we are beginning to see among the pastors here… We are starting to see them enjoy each others differences instead of enduring them…The weekly pastors meetings are awsome, because God is really moving
---Sometimes when we do harp and bowl in other churches, (every Tuesday) God’s spirit works so strong, when the meeting is over most people keep sitting and just cry - not the music but because of Him just coming and loving on his people…. God has been showing up in our home church and at times there is no teaching, just silence or worship… when He shows up it feels like you want to hide under a chair, His presence is so Awsome, yet so fearful, yet So healingly tender...

***Pray for God to continue working at the weekly pastors meeting, God’s spirit is really working, and tenderizing the hearts of the pastors here...

Pray also for protection for Leesha and Jasmine, and also for Rebecca who is studying for nursing now.. ** Also we found out that in someones big old bus near our house that a lot of abuse happens in it with little children, please pray as this week we are asking the owners to remove the bus, that they will soften their hearts when they hear the reason why… *Thank you so much for being part of our lives by reading this letter, and thank you sooooo much for those who have helped us..…I believe we share the same reward because only through you this is possible…!!!!!!!!!!!! We miss our friends a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please drop us a note or a call, (we did have one person call to us from the states, Thanks Carol!!!)…Get’s lonely sometimes!!! if you would like that is…

(This family received Jesus

no more praying to Mary)

Leesha with friend
