Mission School in my hotel
I want to open a training school exclusively for people in mission and others with the call of God but no money for training. My hotel with 150 beds is free for you. We want to fill the earth with people in mission. Argentina has great missions potential and we need your support to make this plan a reality.

Pray for Rain Movement
We need the world to pray with us
Hosea 10:12 promises that if we will “seek the Lord” he will come and shower righteousness on us and in 2 Chronicles 7:14 the Lord promises that as we seek his face, God will come and heal our land. Before we can hope to see the kind of success in evangelism that we urgently need in the now deeply secular UK, we must prevail in prayer to God that he would send the rain of his Spirit to soften the hearts of the people. Our short and simple guide will lead you into a few minutes of new prayer each day for our nation.
Click here to see more information - and welcome !
Pastor Paul and Jill Johnson, Rainworth, UK.

§ We have known Paul and Jill for maybe 20 years and they are 100% genuine people who love the Lord, their church and the people of their area. This prayer guide is short, focussed and comes highly recommended.
Les and Pilar, the editors

Burkina Faso
The seed you sowed in 1983 . .
The little seed Les and Pilar sowed in our Bible college room in 1983 has became a big African tree with nearly 60 people serving in evangelism, education, training and social action. AEAD is a fruit of DCI and today groups like UNICEF are looking to us for partnership. Our children's camp had 529 people mostly teenagers. Then we held a retreat at a monastery and then went into a warfare international conference at our church with two speakers from Nigeria followed by a pastoral conference in the district.

Pasteur Ouedraogo Philippe, Ouagadougou.

§ Burkina is one of the poorest countries on earth yet how remarkable that single seeds sown there produce huge harvests for Christ while in the West tons of seeds hardly bring in a bucketful of interest in the gospel. As Paul and Jill write above, "Pray for Rain in the UK" but while you do keep on sowing into the good soil of Africa. Les and Pilar, the editors.

500 people decide for Jesus
There are many places here where the people do not know Christ so my church went with a team for a week. We saw over 500 people decide to follow Jesus. This was a great blessing. I can tell your team what to do, just write and ask.

DCI Banking For the Poor
Here is a new and improved page of guidance for all project leaders and everyone who is interested in this part of our work.

By the way this is nothing to do with us (sadly) and not even more sadly not a Christian work, but if there was ever a 20th century Cyrus raised up by God for the poor it is this man - Mohammed Yunus. His story is Banker to the Poor. Amazon has it at £9.90. I have it too !

India
Villagers severely threaten pastor
He is told not to visit homes with the gospel but despite opposition Pastor Babuser remains strong in his faith and holds worship services. One new Christian is the village priest who experienced God’s healing. Many in the village were angry at his conversion, some claimed that all the spirits they worship have now departed so they want to drive this family away. Even if he has to lose everything Babuser will not leave and he is willing to die for the Gospel.

47 shout Here am I Lord, send me
Several in our week Bible School were filled with the Holy Spirit and others got a word from the Lord. Vinod who was backslidden, repented and completely surrendered his life to Christ. Arjun got a vision about three new villages and Bhabhubhai, an engineer, was completely filled with the Holy Spirit and surrendered his life to serve God. At 6.15 am the mountains though engulfed in thick monsoon clouds, were resounding with praises for Jesus.

India - Pakistan
God moving in a mighty way here
Our recent visit to Pakistan saw over 100 local Afghans, Iranians and Pakistanis coming to faith, mainly through one-to-one personal witness. More than fifty taxi drivers responded and over fifty gypsy adults and fifty gypsy children. I learned much about Home Cell Churches and the rapid multiplication of disciples on my last trip to India. 37,500 new Home Cell Churches started in just two States in Northern India last year.

Bandung student ministry.
We reach schools in our city by making cell group in each school. We have about 100 cell groups. Now we try to reach about 100 more schools in our entire city. This ministry need 100 leaders for those schools and at least US $1000. Please pray so we can reach students of the majority religion in our town and bring the love of God to entire schools.

Morocco
Young man,19, comes to faith.
He actively searched the internet for almost a year after he heard an evangelistic radio program and was finally led to a website that responded by putting him in touch with a believer in Morocco. The Lord prepared his heart and after hearing the good news, he readily believed it. He is now receiving follow-up and is hungrily reading the Scriptures. Pray that he will become well rooted in Christ and that he will find fellowship.

§ What a difference ! One week in the Colombian Amazon and 500 people decide for Jesus but in North Africa one decision takes a year's searching on the Internet and radio and then a risky secret personal visit.

On the other side of the test . .
As Abraham was leading his son Isaac up the mountain of sacrifice what neither could see was that on the other side and at the same time the Lord was pushing a ram to the top. The lesson is that on the other side of the test you will find God's provision ready and waiting. If you quit now you will never find your ram, the one that has already been led to the top for you.

Many praying for worldwide revival.
But it would be more timely and more scriptural, for prayer to be made to the Lord of the harvest, that He would raise up and thrust forth labourers who would fearlessly and faithfully preach those truths which are calculated to bring about a revival. (A.W.Pink)

USA: Kenneth Hagin unwell
On Sunday Sept.14 his heart stopped but the hospital were able to revive him. Last week he spent time in the hospital due to fluid on his lungs but as he got better they sent him home and then this happened. It is my prayer and belief that the devil can't take him out of here through a sickness. Please agree with the Rhema family for his complete recovery.
Lisa Dickens, Tulsa.

§ Lisa, Thanks for telling us, the news brings back memories of all the Kenneth Hagin books and tapes we devoured some 25 years ago when I was just setting out in the mission and the ways of the Holy Spirit. Amen to your prayer.
