Russia: We're trying to teach and
practice . .
The connection between evangelism, church planting and ministering to
people's physical and psychological hurts. It seems that many evangelicals
focus on witnessing and preaching, not aware that people's spirits are
rather firmly attached to their bodies and souls. Please pray for us.

It is a sending and training base for missionaries. We are editing a

I am looking for a map of the 10/40 window already digitalized. I

People on the way to commit suicide and no hope accepted Jesus as their

hope in their lives and who are bound by witchcraft came to be prayed for.
We had graduation for 13 students. 9,000 meals were provided, 19 were
baptized in water, 4 bicycles, 1 motorcycle and 20 lanterns were
distributed to missionaries, 500 bibles were given to new converts, a lot
of clothes were given to Orissa Mission.

Ten
Reasons Why Missions People Leave The Field

Uganda: Life has to
continue, things are not OK.
The 17 year North Uganda war is still serious, we have no rest at all.
Last week the rebels came to 7 kms from my home and took one of our
Pastors although through prayer and God's mercies he managed to escape
with a lot of wounds. Many internally displaced people have come to town.
Children suffer from malnutrition and worms and many orphans and widows
have no help!. We need God's grace to push on. Can somebody, somewhere
give a hand with food, clothes or monwy so that we can buy some basics for
these suffering people.
Pastor George Purkweri, Lira.
Personally
known to us and 100% genuine. Editor
Ivory Coast: Eye-witness
asks "Could it happen in Europe ?"
In the south are the government troops and Abidjan, the capital is
calm, but in the north past Bouaké you find the rebel MPCI army with
weapons, ideology and funds from the Muslim nations that control the north
of Africa. The advance was peaceful to begin with millions of people
motivated to find a solution to the overwhelming misery of their lives but
later the advance turned violent as feelings were inflamed by sermons in
the mosques and the command to conquer the world for Islam began to ring
out. Such words easily take root among a people who have no hope of
escaping their poverty and whose beliefs are anchored in eighth century
religious laws. Let us not forget that Europe has 10 million Muslims, most
are in England, Paris has 4 million and millions more live in Germany.
Meanwhile the Christians of the continent are peacefully asleep, lulled
into complacency and tipsy with the prosperity and comfort of the Western
world.

Diez, President, Remar España.

India: Visit to village predominately Hindu.
We saw 75 new commitments to the Lord and 70 baptisms. We
have to buy some land and build a prayer hall soon for these people to
worship and then we will expect 500 to come. If any church is interested to
help to build it will be a great help.

Kenya: Missionary running a school of

Belgium: Just visited Middle East.
Although not a Christian, I hope that people of various religions could
live in peace and tolerance. There are so many great civilizations and
cultures in the world and many misfortunes, especially in the Middle East,
come from misunderstandings and prejudice. When talking with different
people in that region, I could see how important that people be more
open-minded and be tolerant of their differences. In this, the world still
has quite a lot to do. The problems might not be solved in even several
decades, but every effort is worthwhile. I believe your work worldwide
surely promotes better understanding among people. Many many blessings.

Burkina Faso: Update on
missionary after stroke.
Thanks again for your prayers for Peter. His wife, Julia says he is making
very good progress - he is off most of his wires and drips; his eyesight
is now good; he can speak, and he is regaining movement down his left
side. He was able to stand for a short while. Tomorrow he hopes to be out
of intensive care.

Brazil: We need your help and advice.
In 2000 we sent 96 Latin missionaries from Brazil, Paraguay, Guyana and
Venezuela to the 10/40 window. 55 more are ready to be sent. When they
left Brazil the currency was R$1.80 per dollar but now it take R$4.00 to
buy $1. The sending churches cannot double their support or find the
airfares to bring the missionaries home. We're facing a great battle and
asking for your help.

UK: Looking forward to
Egypt.
Years ago I went to Egypt with a burning desire to challenge the Egyptian
church about Morocco and the other Arab nations. My desire to see
Egyptians carrying their treasure out to other Arab nations and beyond is
undimmed. A trickle has gone out, but we have been praying for the
hundreds, and in time the thousands. I believe it is time for the trickle
to become a stream. I think that this visit will be a time of receiving
from the deep and vibrant ministry that there is among the Egyptian
believers.

Remember me in your prayers, please. It is -21 deg there now. We need snow
chains to get from Hungary across the border, but our visit rounds off 18
months of managing a farm and releasing the pastor back into his job of
looking after the people, training them and equiping them, not trying to do
everything in 14 churches himself. It will also give him some income. 20 new believers meet weekly at the farm.
This summer we will hold a kids camp in the villages.

Bhutan: What's it like for a
believer here ?
Many believers are backsliden due to persecution which is not direct but
Christians can't have services like schools, electricity, jobs, police
clearance and even marriage certificates. Having a great faith in the Lord
will save us. I am a pastor of 25 families and I have five other
fellowships with 3 assistant pastors and 2 evangelists. One fellowship
which is 240 kms away. At New Year four people accepted Jesus and were
baptized.

France: Taizé's Pilgrimage in Paris
"Taizé in Paris was one face of the new Europe, 80 000 young adults
from every country of the continent", said one newspaper. Senator
Gérard Delfau invited a group to the Senate: "The message of peace
of the young people from Taizé is essential, when war is being prepared
and so many conflicts are shaking the planet." "A young
Croatian, in spite of his experience of the Balkan wars said, 'I
rediscovered my faith here. I discovered that human beings can be good.'
