Benin: Thanks to the Lord.
The Lord had been so faithful to us over here, healing all manners of disease. His faithfulness can not be compare with any.
Rev. Phil Gladstone, Cotonou.

South India: Our ministry going on well.
I just returned from where many Tribals live. We built a small Prayer Hall and I went there to dedicate the new church which is affected by communist extremists. The Tailoring School going is on well and we are praying to open schools in 2 villages. Please pray that God would provide 4 more sewing machines.
Pastor BSJ, Andhra Pradesh.

For our USA readers

 

Latin America: Interested in the Islamic World.
Tell us about the beliefs, practices, countries, and growing Islamic groups in Latin America, different branches within Islam and the differences between them and the radical fundamentalist groups.
Pastors Wendy and Ramón Sosa.

India: God is really moving here in India.
Hundreds are saved every day forsaking their sinful ways of life and idols. Three months ago I was invited to preach and after a 6 hours drive in the car I reached there by 10 pm. The 15x10 feet room was packed with 38 people. After preaching Christ I gave an altar call for salvation and all of them committed their life to Jesus. Then I taught them about Baptism and 13 stepped forward, 3 wanted to be baptized the same day. We drove 5 miles and walked 1 mile to a very cold river and after 8 more people wanted to take baptism. Now we have 42 poor people worshipping and studying the word. They badly need a place to worship the Lord, and a cemetery for burial.
Pastor D, South India.

Paraguay: How it is in Chaco . . 
Unfortunately, after 70 years of work there is still much nominal Christianity that lacks strong convictions to address obstacles. The pastors do not k now what to do. Many people live in fear due to unresolved crimes committed by natives suspected of involvement in Satanism.  
Rafi.

Skopje: Practising Taize's Pilgrimage of Trust
In the leaflet describing the 'Pilgrimage of Trust' we read that 'taking part in the meeting in Paris means to visit those who are suffering, who are alone, ill, prisoners, foreigners...' So we decided to visit the prisoners in the prisons here in Skopje. We want shake each prisoner's hand, wishing them Happy Christmas and a Good New Year, and handing over the presents we have prepared. We know Christ's words, 'I was in prison and you visited me.'"
Taize Community, France.

UK: Bible belts being tightened . .
Downturn in investment income following a stock market slump has led to increasing cashflow problems for churches and Christian organisations, forcing many to cut staff and programmes. Dipping into reserves is common but even that will not be enough for some.

Burkina Faso: A young Fulani just gave his life to Christ . .
But the believers' level of commitment is still very variable. We are starting to build a shelter for the meetings and Fulani believers are beginning to lead the meetings more. We will be doing quite a bit of evangelism - as much to train the believers as to evangelise. We will be showing the Jesus film in several villages. Of course there is also Christmas, the baptisms, and my move to Djibo in January. 
Keith Smith, Missionary, Burkina Faso.

Russia: The church that meets in a hospital.
The nurses are vastly under-staffed, about one nurse for 25 patients, so patients who have no relatives just don't get fed, changed, bedsores bandaged, etc. A man with cancer that I prayed with, washed, trimmed his fingernails and gave tea to last week had died by this week. A lady had also died. We prayed with more patients and one prayed to believe in Christ as his Savior and Lord. A lady with Multiple Sclerosis has recently believed, and wants to be baptized in the Moscow River! A young man came from Siberia to get a job here, but has yet to register his passport. He can be arrested and sent back home if he's stopped by the police so he was afraid to come this week. His parents are alcoholics, and he had been living on the streets in Siberia, killing dogs and eating the flesh. There sure are lots of hurting people in this world! If we were to take all their hurts upon ourselves, we would certainly break. But thank God that we can place their wounds, hurts, hangovers and hangups (and ours) on Christ.
Robert Hosken, Moscow.

Colombia: Testimony from an abducted pastor.
Pastor Juan Carlos Villegas was abducted for 12 days by the guerrillas in Colombia, they forced him to walk for long hours every day to prevent the Army from finding him. He was threatened but he never gave up.  He discovered that as he read the Bible to the rebels many of them were touched to the point of tears, even more, they begged him to continue reading to them and to pray for them. Juan Carlos was finally released and he attributes this to the many prayers for him worldwide.

How is DCI World Christians funded ?
It's one of the frequent questions we are asked because everything is free - the news, the Bible Schools, the support, the library and we also try to help our colleagues who run the various language pages, as well as missionaries and projects among the poor. The answer is that the missions family that edits these pages is funded exclusively by the gifts of believers and has no denominational or commercial support. We would be very grateful if you would join with us. 

Pay Pal or this page will make it possible. Thank you, as every gift whether small or large in $, £, Euros or Yen will help us a lot.
