Burkina Faso: Can anyone help with
a vehicle ?
We are in desperate need of a vehicle to get the Jesus Films to over 60
villages. Our 33 year old Landrover is out of use since January. I sent a
man to Ghana to look for a second-hand engine but he returned empty
handed. He will try and fix the old one but after 33 years on the road can
it go again ?
Philippe Ouédraogo, Ouagadougou.
www.dci.org.uk/main/aead.htm
Philippe has struggled
with this
old Land-Rover for the gospel for all the 20 years we have known
him. If you have a vehicle that you can ship to West Africa, it
will be well used in mission to the unreached.
Les and Pilar, the
editors.
Paraguay:
Are there any schools of Christian music here?
Javier
Ismael Gonzalez Ferrari, Limpio.
India: Last Saturday -
200 brand new Christians.
All come from heathen background as the result of the work of the newly
sent ministers. I was really thrilled with joy to see them and lead them
in to baptism. Our ministers are doing powerful works in the villages. Now
we have 70 more in the waiting list to be sent out but as the Bible says
"How will they go without someone to send"?
Pastor D, South India.
$50/£30
a month is all it takes to send a trained, local language speaking
evangelist in India. We have been very blessed over the years to help in
this way. Les
and Pilar, the editors.
Argentina:
Growing amidst the crisis.
The current crisis has made our prayers grow –and the same has
happened to many other Christians in Argentina. Some time ago, I was asked
to build a team of intercessors for our nation and church. Currently,
there are over 150 intercessors as part of a prayer chain –
although we
do not have any materials about Spiritual Mapping, Evangelism or City
Conquering through Prayers. If you have anything about this, I’d appreciate your help.
Juan Carlos.
Philippines: Winning
many foreign workers in South Korea.
God open another door for us in Japan. We don't speak their language, pray
for our mission there this coming May. If you know some Christian Japanese
who can help us in this pioneering work, please send to us their names.
Rev. Robert M.V., Pampanga.
Mexico:
We’d like to open a rehabilitation centre.
For drug
addicts and alcoholics. Also, we are working on a project to deliver food
to hospitals. We request your prayers so that our evangelisation work may
be powerful.
Jorge
y Loli, Sonora.
Well
done Jorge and Loli, we learned a lot on the streets of Spain back in
the 80's and thank God for the experience and the compassion it
brought to us. Many of the street men and women went on to become
strong Christian leaders, sadly though many have died of AIDS since.
We worked with www.remar.org who
now have 20,000 people in 52 nations.
Les
and Pilar.

Japan: Open to mission, no restrictions
on the Gospel.
Yet the chains that bind this land have yet to be loosed. Persecution in
the 1600's stifled a growing church in Southern Japan. Usually persecution
has the opposite affect. Why didn't the church grow? Was it because
individual Christians were too dependent on their leaders to do the work
of the Gospel? Was it because the government grouped families into groups
of 5 to watch and report each other? Was it because the idols in the land
were not destroyed, even by Christians? Still true today. God knows the
answer, but please pray that the walls of indifference to the Gospel would
come tumbling down.
Scott & Taeko Bronner, missionaries in
Yokohama.
Peru:
Sending our first lady missionary.
The Cayma Baptist Church is sending the first missionary who,
after training in Brazil and
practice in Latin America, is to go to Africa. Her name is Lidia Zavala; she is 22.
William
Montalvo, Arequipa.
Lidia,
God bless and provide for you, and well done Cayma Baptists for sending
your first missionary. Les & Pilar, editors.
Gospels of Luke in Arabic free of charge.
We have several boxes of "Skinny Luke" gospels (so called
because they're thin enough to put in an envelope and look like a letter!)
to give away quite urgently, as the office in Britain where they are
stored is closing. Please let me know as soon as you can.
Arise, Shine, Morocco.

Algeria: On my own and avoided by
others.
This is the first time that I write to you because I am on my own now and
I am avoided by others since I became a Christian. Nobody wants to know me
anymore. I’m 24 and I have a degree in Finance. I need to leave this
country, you know what the authorities are like here, it’s not safe. I
want to be happy and I don’t want to lose everything after I have found
the Source of everything. Help me please.
Name removed for security reasons, Algiers.
The world experts on
North Africa are Arab World Ministries www.gospelcom.net/awm
and they are well equipped to disciple and help
Algerians. Their French web page is: www.gospelcom.net/awm/indexfr.htm
We have pointed the writer towards them. Anyone have
a better idea please ? Les and Pilar, the editors.

like to stir up my congregation particular the
young.
Marcos
Morales, Pastor, Celular Centre, Bugabita.
Send
your photos as jpg or gif in a zip file or they will be too big to go
through. Les.
India: New law affects
visitors to India.
Because of the new law enforced recently foreigners coming to India
with visitors visa are no more allowed to preach the word in public. A lot of
native missionaries are also attacked by the anti-Christian parties.
Please uphold all native missionaries and new believers in your prayers.
Our Bible School was opened today with 50 students. We had to turn off
many due to financial and accommodation problems. If God calls you for
missions do come to India to see the hand of the Lord.
Pastor D, South India.

We belong to

prayers for our outreach.
Mauro
Antonio Ayala Salas, Lima
Russia: 10,000 Evangelical
churches
Ukrainian evangelist Slavik Radchuk reports that in 1990, when the
Communist regime collapsed, there were only 480 Protestant churches in
Russia. In 2000 there were 7,200, and around 100 new churches are planted
each month, 10,000 in all. Churches in Belarus are growing fast due to
persecution."A church must have 100 members in order to register with
the government - but they have to start at zero! The members are
persecuted, and have to meet in houses, where the church rapidly grows
from zero to 100." (Joel News International)
Robert Hosken, Moscow.

Pastor George Purkweri, Lira.
We know George
very well, he travels in spite of the war and brings the gospel and
practical help to so many the lost, displaced and poor people. Les and Pilar, the editors.
Colombia:
I work with Catholic families.
We pray, read the Scriptures and share our life experiences together.
We have decided to name this group Missionary Homes of Nazareth. I
ask God for his blessing in this evangelistic task for our so troubled
Colombia.
Vicente
Santodomingo, Bucaramanga
England:
I have never met you but . . .
I can tell you something and it is this: Your spirit shines through your
e-mail replies, this has nothing to do with their content. Jesus is so pleased
with the way that you have allowed Him to draw His body together. He
rejoices daily over you with singing. You have captured something very
close to his very heart and it is the outworking of his High Priestly
Prayer in John 17. The anointing you have, allows exhortation and
encouragement to flow through the Church of God. You should also know that
it flows on to the people your e-mail contacts know personally face to
face and beyond. Your friends in heaven will be great in number. They will
keep you and your helpers satisfied with their encouraging stories. I
hesitate to say this but I believe that Jesus regards this service as a
greater work. I leave it to you and your people to weigh this word of
encouragement.
Rev. Eric McK, Mansfield, UK.
www.graceandmercyministries.co.uk
Thank
you, Eric, we are truly very deeply touched by your kind words of encouragment.
Les and Pilar, the editors in England.

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.

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