Mexico: Looking for emails of mission in Burkina Faso.
Pastor Antonio Moreno.
Our close friend in Burkina is
Pasteur
Philippe Ouedraogo of AEAD, who has a
growing church with mission to unreached
tribes, a lot of social action and children's education. He speaks English and French.
We introduced Spanish mission Remar to
Burkina many year ago and they have an extraordiary ministry there among
children, street peoples and prisons.
Les & Pilar, editors.
Holland:
I
am an African pastor living in
Holland
God has
helped me to start a church with a programme of formation of disciples and
ministers for God. My vision is to go everywhere in the world to implant
new churches, form disciples and send them to do the same thing. Pray for
my ministry so that we may be able to reach the unreached and form
them.
Pastor
Thierry Paul Sekuau, Holland
Guadalajara: We want to help the orphans…
And people with scarce or no resources. We work in Tonala and read in a
magazine what some children in Indonesia have to endure. We want to know
how we can help, apart from praying for them.
Edgardo.
Bangladesh: Trust for the future.
The people the Taizé brothers live among in Bangladesh are almost
entirely Muslims, with a small Hindu minority and a few Christians. In
order to build bridges of trust, they have helped to set up schools for
the poor. Now there are six of them, with about 1000 students, in villages
and slums near their home. They are also places where the young teachers,
Muslims, Hindus and Christians, learn to work together. Serving the poor
together encourages a sense of the being one human family.
The Taize Community, France.

Israel: Shalom in the name of
Adonah.
We are a Spanish speaking mission founded in and managed
from Israel. Our purpose is to be a blessing to the people of
Israel by offering
studies, conferences, seminars and encouraging love for the people of
Israel.

Thought
for the Day
‘In the last 25 years more than 100 times as many American Christians
have gone to the Middle East to serve their country in a military
capacity, than have gone to serve in the mission of the gospel of peace’
(Mission
Frontiers Dec 2001, pg13)
Sent
in by Steve Bell, Friendship First, UK
§ We have known
Steve for years. He was a missionary in an Arab nation until the secret
police helped him to leave. He is of Middle Eastern origin himself and is
a real expert on how Western churches can relate to local Muslims. Write
and ask for his news sheet. Les and Pilar
Cuba: United in
Christ.
God has called upon a
group of us to be one people under one name,
Jesus, where all differences among pastors are being removed. They are
apologising to each other. It is awesome.
Alfredo
Aguilera.
§
Alfredo, we are very happy to hear this news, may it happen
everywhere. In DCI
we have people from many denominations all working together,
united in the call of Christ. It is priceless to be together. Les
and Pilar
Burundi: Come and see us for yourselves.
We receive many who come from different churches.
Today, we have 107 students from 7 churches who take
courses, and we continue to visit churches. We have presented our papers
to the government requesting legal authorization. Our work is great and it requires many prayers and faith.
You may come and see us for yourselves.
Constantin Hakizimana, Bujumbura.
Venezuela: God is pouring down His
blessings here.
We invite you to become part of the great awakening of Venezuela this
year, praying for new converts. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit will
overflow this nation. The church has been touched by the transforming
power of the Holy Spirit.
Pastor José Sepúlveda, Ocumare del Tuy.
§ José
says,"The church has been touched by the transforming
power of the Holy Spirit." That's the key to it all, and that is our
testimony as well.
Les and Pilar, the editors.
India: Our work is to reach undetached
areas.
Our motto is to spread Gospel where it is not proclaimed. We go through
forests, deserts and on water frequently we face better experiences such
as starvation, nature calamities and mishaps. We are all full time Gospel
workers working together to win the souls for Jesus Christ. We are
visiting all villages in our surrounding areas. We want your valuable
prayers.
Pastor Devanandam Junapudi.
Angola:
Come and work for revival in Angola.
I am on fire to revive my generation for Jesus. I am looking for more
information on Christianity and the work of God in Angola. His
challenges are what Angola
needs
right now. I speak English, French, Portuguese and understand Spanish.

Timoteo Vova, Luanda.

daughter in cult.
I need prayer to help me stay focused on God and to help get my daughter
Anna out of a cult she is in. Trial is March 31. She led some people to
the Lord, she was born outgoing and full of life then her father who chose
to not truly live for Christ twisted her mind against me and told her she
was not really saved. Please pray for us. I need employment and a place to
live also.T hank you.

Peru: Information
about missions in Italy ?
I'm studying at a seminary and would like to contact people
in Italy. I have been longing for going to Italy for over 18 years but, so
far, the Lord has kept closing the gates to me. Nevertheless, I am still
longing.
Martin Riquelme.
Central
Africa Republic
Civil war in the north still going
on.
Churches
are destroyed, governmental people are killed, the health centres and
learning centres are robbed or destroyed, war crimes are taking place here
and there. Prices have rocketed making it really difficult for some people
to get their basic food requirements. All the roads have not yet been
re-opened even in the areas where the Loyalist Army has taken charge
again. When you understand that Bangui depends mainly on other surrounding
regions for its food and other items, we are getting very close to a
catastrophic situation.
Pastor Anatole, RC
§
Poor Africa, one nation after the next, it is no wonder that most of the
world has written this continent off, but Jesus hasn't, and neither have
we. Some of the finest and gentlest people in the world live there
and have a passion for Christ that we can learn from. Anatole is one
of them.
Les and Pilar, the editors.
UK: We are in Tanzania, Africa.
We were asked to come and visit some missionaries who are helping with
different people groups in Kibaha, near Dar es Salaam. One of their
projects is working with musicians trying to encourage indigenous musical
expression within the Tanzanian church.
Martin and Rebekah Neil, Northumbria
Community.

§ Martin is a
brilliant percussionist and has the most remarkable gift of being able to
relate with unreached peoples through their tribal music.
Rebekah has her own gifts from Jesus. You should meet them !

Greetings from the end of the earth
This unique photo
of a group of pastors comes from the southern tip of the Sahara in Burkina
Faso. At Christmas time these men, their families and churches were facing
literal starvation, there was nothing left to eat. Just £15 / $23
bought each man a sack of millet which will feed the family for weeks till
a better solution is found. They wrote to say 'a thousand thank-you's' and
sent this remarkable photo. To help us to help families like this see the
end of the page.

Malaysia: I am from Malaysia, a Muslim
Nation.
I have been backpacking, street singing, street evangelism in Europe for
one year. I have been in Barcelona, Spain for a few months, and Spain and
Europe is in deep darkness. The Europeans once brought the Gospel to the
third world, but today the third world must now bring the Gospel back to
them.
Bro.Chris Toh
§ Oh dear, as the
Bible says, Behold, your sins will find you out and over here in Europe
ours are there for everyone to see. It is brilliant that a young
Malaysian can see the answer. Les and Pilar, the
editors.
Peru: Latinamerican Missiology School
I ask your prayers for young men and women from all over the country who attend the school
to train for mission work. When they graduate, they will be a
blessing for the places where they will be sent.
Missionary Isabel Guerrero, Mission A.M.E.N
Chacko Thomas, Network Co-ordinator of OM
He has written to many of you and some have met him. His 17 year old son,
Sunil, has had a 2 year battle with cancer which ended on 7th March as God
took him home. We ask for your prayers for the family as they
remember Sunil's life with many friends who loved Sunil; and as
they grieve his loss. Sunil knew where he was going very clearly, and is
now at peace with his heavenly Father.

§ This must be an
unbearable loss, except in Jesus. Our deepest sympathies go to the Thomas

Pilar.
France: Puff for Pygmies
Rob Reeve, one of the Nations leaders, based in France will run the Paris
Marathon on the 6th April and would like to encourage as many people as
possible to sponsor him. He wants to be able to raise money for a health
care project in the Central African Republic. A growing church has been
planted, and agricultural, educational and primary health care projects
are being developed. Before, pygmies would die through lack of basic care,
but a small dispensary is now saving lives and alleviating suffering. Much
more can be done.
Full info from: Rob Reeve, Thumeries.
§ We know Rob well
and he really loves the Pygmies. His colleague Gail wrote this
after a visit to them. Les & Pilar
USA: Christians In Crisis website.
We are a ministry to the suffering church. Is it possible for me to send
the readers some information on our ministry and our Director's story
when he was imprisoned
and tortured in the Middle East? We mobilize prayer partners for the
suffering.
Brother Terry, Director of Administration.
www.christiansincrisis.net
§ This is a very
impressive website for a ministry with a real heart, coming out of
the horrors their founder went through. Visit their pages and ask for the story and
some information. Les.

to save them. We can help the people know him. I pray every day to God for
you.

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.
