North Africa is where I want to go . .
The Lord has
called me to full time service in this region. I am thinking about opening a
small business, something that help the poorer people and spread the gospel.
What do I do first ?
Moses Leiva
Riffo,Santiago
de Chile.
§ Moses, you should start with Google and research who is already
working in NA, people like Arab World Ministries, World Horizons, and
Trans-World Radio and ask them for their expert advice. Find pages from
<tentmakers> for business advice, and find out which Spanish missions
are in the Magreb because they speak your language. Learning English will be
very helpful as few people in NA speak Spanish except in Ceuta and Melilla.

They robbed our church . .
People got in and
took all our sound equipment, all the instruments, everything but we know
that God will meet our needs according to His riches in Christ Jesus. Pray
with us for the thieves that God will touch them, forgive them and lead them
to repentance.

Believers at Kohuvallur beaten brutally . .
They ended the day hospitalized after coming for the worship and more
than 50 bibles were torn and burn. There is a case against the pastor in the
Police Station and he is blocked from going out of the village and
communicating with anyone. This is a church full of ex-heathens.

Violence in Assam continues to escalate
It is between the Kuki and Karbi tribes and many of our native
missionaries and believers are caught in between. Ten of our Bible school students and one leader have been
arrested by police and are being falsely accused.

98 % of Chins accept Christianity
The tribal groups of the Chin people live in the northwest of Myanmar, the 6th poorest country in the
world. Of the 7 states Chin is the most underdeveloped and the poorest, the
average income per person is less than $1 a day. Though over 98% of the Chins
accept Christianity less than 4% will be saved believers. Christian
literature is hard to find but as a Christian state, the average literacy
rate is the top in Myanmar. All the foreign missionaries in our country and
in Chin State had to leave years ago.

Just 2.8 million people here and. .
The evangelicals are
prospering and the Church has 2 TV channels, one is international, and there
is Christian cable TV and 12 radio channels. Businessmen are coming to Christ
and the Church is putting candidates forward for government. Benny Hinn has
prophesied a great revival within a couple of years.

Can you really start a bank with $50?
I have seen your Banking for the Poor and I
would like to do the same here where we have 2,000,000 people who could never
get a loan from the banks. How can we start with $50 ?
Marcos
Alvez-Milho, Lima, Journalist.
§ Marcos: Let me underline
the word "micro" because for me small is beautiful and yes you can
start with $50. In some parts of the world you can start a simple
micro-business for $25 to $50, roadside food stall, seeds, piglets, hens,
market stalls and so on. We have
helped widows and orphans to do it. With the weekly repayments you can lend
to the next, then the next and so on and if you tell your friends, then some
will want to invest into the new “bank.” Take care to follow the instructions
on our page because we
have learned a few things over the years.

Angola left us shaken . .
We are in South
Africa visiting our pastor here and getting our breath back after Luanda,
Angola. We are thrilled at how the Lord is helping our team there but it is
shocking to see all the misery, filth, sickness and so much evil at large
produced by both ignorance and the work of the devil over generations.

Heavenly Father, We love you . . .
How truly blessed we are, that you sent your very own Son Jesus to be
born in such a lowly stable. How
wonderful that you loved us that much.
Lord please help us to keep our focus with our hearts and minds, upon
you this Christmas season. There are
so many things to do and so many places to go. Help us not to forget to share your love with those less
fortunate. Help us to always remember
Your teachings and to share Your love with others.

Hand of the Lord with refugees.
Many souls at his most difficult time turn to the Lord in tears. At
one camp 40 people and about 30 children gave their lives to Christ as their
Lord. I have received another call to go to another camp so keep on praying
with me since it is your prayers that is keeping me alive both in the
physical and spiritually even though every night there is a lot of fear and
rumours and people are running in fear of the killer rebels. We have
sleepless nights but God is keeping us safe.

I have 100 disabled people coming; 60 bedridden women with AIDS; 60
orphan child family heads; 20 orphans with AIDS; 20 street children; 30
street beggars and 60 refugees, 350 in all.
Even the Government leaders are so much happy and saying they have
never seen people like this being invited to a party of any kind. I have support from Bishop Tom Okello,
Members of Parliament and all the civil and Church leaders are with me. This
will really lift up the name of our Lord Jesus Higher than before in the
whole of Uganda.

A woman goes to the post office -
To buy stamps for her Christmas cards. She says to the
clerk: "Fifty Christmas stamps please" The clerk says: "What
denomination please?" The woman sighs: "God help us! Has it come to
this? Give me 6 Catholic, 12 Presbyterian, 10 Lutheran and 22 Baptists".
