§ Iyad, Assalam Alaikum!
Peace be unto you and unto your family, the Peace of Allah that removes fear and leaves his saquina in the hearts of his mutaqeen. I am very honored to write to you this letter and want to put myself at your disposal, since your email is so short I would like to know a bit more about your spiritual journey so that I can be of more help for you. Before I write you again something more especific I would like to invite you to open your palms and repeat together this do'a before the throne of heaven, because Allah is very interested to hear from you and wants to bestow his barakat upon you. In the name of the Most Merciful and Compassionate, we come before you, we humble ourselves and we ask your guidance. Show Eyad the straight path, and show us who you are. Allah, as a sign of your guidance we ask you to take Eyad's fear away and replace it with your Spirit, with the ruh of Allah. Amen!! From now I will include you in every do'a we as family will have. Barakat.
Our editor in the Middle East.

Peru: God has shown us the Window 10/40
We have accepted God’s challenge to go and pray the Gospel to every creature. Here, the church of God is being challenged to take on the evangelisation of Africa and India. That is why we are praying for those men and women who are being persecuted and who are risking their lives in those places. We want to be part of the great awakening and the great evangelisation of Africa and the Middle East. We are praying so that God takes us from Lima to the Window 10/40. God is preparing a great provision for the missionaries there. Let’s pray so that God may open even wider the windows in heaven and pour down His support upon all the missionaries and places like this.
Walter Aponte Livias, Lima

Burkina Faso: Water rationed in capital
Over a month ago water was distributed by ration in Ouaga. Josephine uses her car to fetch water daily for our family. For the first time the pipe ran dry in our schools. And until a big rain comes to fill the reservoirs, water remains the most precious commodity for most people.  Thanks to Riverside Church UK for caring about us by praying and sending money to dig a well.

Northern Ireland: Chinese lady accepts Jesus
Lily attended a meeting for asylum seekers which was packed with Chinese people. Soma the leader and a Hindi priest wanted Lily to talk especially with a Chinese lady through a translator. The Chinese lady is totally on her own, doesn't speak the language, and has cancer. Soma told Lily: 'I know you can pray for her'. Lily explained about our broken relationship with God, and how to restore it and the lady accepted Jesus in her life praying in Chinese, repeating the translation. It was the first time Lily has led anyone to the Lord in Ireland, and it was in English translated to Chinese! The lady told Lily she wanted Lily to visit her, and that the language barrier will be no hurdle at all, because she could understand many of Lily's words before they were translated! What a testimony of spiritual discernment!

Thailand: Always in need of volunteers . .
Please lift up our work in prayer for all our mission needs and requirements to be met by the Lord. Charity work requires many blessings especially in a developing country like Thailand. We are trying to help so many who are sick and dying from HIV and AIDS and the poor orphaned children. Please ask people who are interested to contact me for full details or to be volunteers with us.

Bangladesh: Signs of hope from Taizé people
An Australian visitor to Bangladesh describes how the Taizé brothers are trying to respond to the challenges of living a Christian presence within am Islamic culture. "They have schools, boarding houses and community centres and they sustain themselves with busy hands, providing hope for hundreds of locals burdened by poverty and injustice who see their three times a day prayers and visible work, and refer to them as "true believers"

Soul Winning Quote of the Month
If sinners will be damned, at least let them leap to hell over our bodies. And if they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees, imploring them to stay. If hell must be filled, at least let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go there unwarned or unprayed for. (Charles Haddon Spurgeon)

Middle East: Some good news at last. .
Many people are having dreams which lead them to accept Jesus. It is true that many others are being attacked but they show the courage of true servants of God. Last night, we talked with a young man who had been stabbed; he is out of danger and has no resentment although his face will always carry the marks of his aggressors. In another country, a high dignitary accepted Jesus and is committed to starting a new ministry. There are almost 1,000 believers, all waiting anxiously for Baptism in another very closed country. Well, closed to us, not to the Gospel. In short, some good news amidst political chaos.  Each time my husband travels he is followed and this has been going on for months. Please, pray for him.

Central Africa: Speaking at Pygmy Conference
2-8th June.  The Pygmies are despised as sub-human by many Africans and they are on the bottom of the pile as far as any help goes. Nation-en-Marche started a work among them 3 years ago.  Over 100 have found the Lord.  I have been asked me to challenge them with God's missionary heart.  They are the best ones to reach their own tribes, which spread across several borders. I don't think I have ever felt so inadequate about going anywhere as I do about this.  I know that the Lord is encouraging me, yet I am very aware that I have almost no understanding of the Pygmy culture or the kind of trials and persecutions that they have been through.  Physically I 5 ft 11 inches tall. I am terrified of snakes and we will be living in the middle of the jungle with the possibility of rebel troops and creepy crawlies!   I do feel a peace that certainly passes my understanding, so I go forward on that.

Fiji Islands: NCTC training school project very well

The other day we where given a 4X4, needs fixing up but will be a great help. Then totally out of the blue God provided a mechanic to come and train one of our boys how to fix it up, as well as brush cutters, and chainsaws and outboard motors.  Amazing and he works free for us, but we will give him something for it.

UK: Ghana Mission - thanks to all who prayed
We led two conventions with about 450 people from churches in Accra and the West. This was followed by church planting in Asanta where 80 turned to Christ and 12 were baptized. We praise God for His goodness, protection and blessing.

§ To everyone who writes to ask for funds:

Thank you for your e-mails but I am sorry that we cannot publish requests for funds on our news pages, simply because if we put one here, then we will have to allow another hundred, and that would change the nature of the page and witness altogether. On top of that trying to raise funds through the Internet is almost impossible as everyone has heard of the 1001 scams and frauds that people have fallen for, so people do not respond. I know it is difficult for you all, and for many others too, including ourselves but as we pray and trust the Lord will show us His way forward.  He said to Paul, "My gracious favour is all that you need" and once we truly believe that, the promise is ours. Maybe our Money Forum page will help you ?

India: Begining among terminally ill children
As directed by the Lord I have resigned my job with a Christian organisation after 20 years service to begin a work among poor children, youth and women with a commitment to bring the love of Jesus though unworthy I am. Please pray for me and for the work that God will help me find the means.
