Christ appearing to Muslim people
More Muslims are receiving Jesus today than at any time in their history. This is not through the work of missionaries, literally thousands of Muslim people all over the
world are currently receiving Christ as a direct result of supernatural dreams, visions and visitations. One of the most common denominators in such experiences is the appearance of "A man in white." It is undoubtedly evident that Jesus Himself
is actively evangelising many Islamic persons. Muslim communities are so hostile towards other religions, particularly that of the Jews and Christians, that it is almost impossible for humans to penetrate. However, God is revealing His determined
purpose to save the sons of Ishmael, by ending His Son Yeshua, to personally invite them into His Kingdom.

Young Yanomami in my home
It's not easy but God never said it would be. But just to see these young natives trying to adapt and encourage me makes me happy and want to go on. Every Wednesday we
have lunch together and this week it was two unfortunate ducks that happened to cross our paths because here in the jungle, if it moves, it is food. These young people are having a good time in discipleship. I thank God for the people who have come to
help, sent by their churches with support.

Central African Republic
Presidents asks for forgiveness
My colleague Maguy has just returned from Central African Republic where she was a key figure in the national conference on reconciliation. To the surprise of the U.N.
and the French media previous heads of state and Presidents publicly asked for forgiveness, spurred on by the testimony of Jean-Serge Bokassa, son of the infamous previous Emperor, who had been touched in one of our forest meetings a few years
back.

Taking 'Ex' out of 'Ex-missionary'
Any former missionary who has returned home for any reason can still have an outreach ministry to their country of service through the Web. There is also much scope for
creating a simple and cheap literature program from home - read how Jane and Beryl started this ministry for Fula dialects and Swahili:

The air you breathe in Taizé
A Catholic bishop from England reflecting on his visits to Taizé over 25 years and asks, "Why does Taizé have such an appeal for young people, often at an age when
they are drifting away from church at home? And what can we learn from Taizé for our parish communities in this new century?" An Orthodox priest from Romania said, "The air you breathe in Taizé is full of resurrection" I know what he
meant as the Risen Christ is the silent and invisible Source of the life and worship of this community. Joyful trust in the Risen Lord lies at the heart of our spiritual life at Taizé. It is not for nothing that the icon of the Resurrection in Taizé’s
Church of the Reconciliation stands next to the icon of the Cross. The brothers of the Taizé Community know that the only way to the Resurrection is the way of the Cross. But community life and worship at Taizé are deeply marked by the spirit of
festival, the spirit of the Beatitudes, the spirit of joy, simplicity, and merciful love."

What happened in Bangalore . .
Some welcomed us but some did not but there were new decisions to follow Christ and the power of God was seen as He healed the sick and delivered the demon possessed. We reached four villages and praying for another
six before December end. We are also reaching to the people through the Jesus film. Pray for a mighty harvest in Hindustan.

Nigerian evangelist/gospel artist here
I have established 2 churches in 4 years and they are under the care of a big registered church. Here, the Islamic government is against the gospel, and only allow the
old registered churches to function. The lord has given me the direction to move out to establish more ministries where ever I go, but I need direction and above all, I wish to work under a ministry as a missionary. Name removed for security
reasons.

1500 Buddhists protest march
The Buddhist Priest organized this protest against the churches and said that he will not allow the Church to meet in the hall or in homes. He has threatened to disrupt
the gatherings of believers & attack the homes of the believers. He has said that there will be blood shed if necessary. We are seeking God's wisdom on what to do at this time. The churches and authorities have been informed and much prayer with
fasting is taking place. The Church in Sri Lanka is going through a time of testing & persecution, many churches and pastors have been attacked, even the authorities turn a blind eye and the media publish malicious reports inciting people to hate the
Church.

Training in a war torn land
The charismatic Episcopal church of Sudan has taken a decision that our leaders in this war torn country be trained and equipped for mission; social action and commerce
for local funding to reduce overseas dependence on funding and support. We are looking to DCI to give us that capacity.

DCI School of Evangelism in German
Translating the lessons renewed me spiritually as all that was hidden by the experiences of the last 40 years, came up again. It was for me a real spiritual refreshment.
It had been hidden away deep inside of me, and it has come again into my mind.

Christmas with the Poorest
Our part of the DCI World Christmas Party is to have a real African party for the disadvantaged people in Lira with food, drinks and entertainment, a real celebration of
our Lord Jesus' birthday. We are planning to bring 200 people to the land around our home, the disabled living on the street begging daily; the disabled persons who are both the blind and lame, 70 refugees from 3 camps, 50 orphans mostly from the
child-headed families and 40 people with HIV/AIDS without any relative to care for them.

§ George, this is all very exciting, because as
Mother Teresa always used to say, the poor are Jesus himself coming to us - in his most distressing disguise. What we do for the least, we do for Him.

In Bulgaria teaching about Muslims
Some conference delegates were the only evangelicals in cities of up to 200,000. I was asked to bring Islam and Muslims into perspective for people who have witnessed the
violence of politicised Islam first hand in the former Yugoslavia. People were touched by the 'grace response' concept and one woman wept right there in the foyer of our hotel because of the paradigm shift she had undergone in her attitude to Muslims
when she realised that God is after them with a passion. A group from Serbia invited me to go to Mostar in 2005 and to do some seminars in other places like Sarejevo. Friendship First Seminars about Islam

The last word for today
On Discipleship . .
Discipleship is built entirely on the supernatural grace of God. Walking on water is easy to someone with impulsive boldness, but walking on dry land as a disciple of Jesus Christ is something altogether different. Peter walked on the water to go to
Jesus, but he "followed Him at a distance" on dry land (Mark 14:54) We do not need the grace of God to withstand crises human nature and pride are sufficient for us to face the stress and strain magnificently. But it does require the
supernatural grace of God to live twenty-four hours of every day as a saint, going through drudgery, and living an ordinary , unnoticed, and ignored existence as a disciple of Jesus. It is ingrained in us that we have to do exceptional things for
God-but we do not. We have to be exceptional in the ordinary things of life, and holy on the ordinary streets, among ordinary people and this is not learned in five minutes.
