"Rigor mortis corpse leaves coffin." This headline appeared
in a Nigerian newspaper. Is it true, a divine miracle, or sensationalist
press exaggeration? Judge for yourself. The evidence and facts that
stunned critical journalists and left them speechless are here without
embroidery. The Daniel
Ekechukwu story reported by respected British minister George
Canty.
From Andrés Fernando Tarquino, Colombia
The Lord has given me some powerful experiences from
Matthew 28.19 that have changed my life and my wife's. You cannot imagine
how the Lord talked to me through your lessons; they have been a
great blessing. We plan to open a school of missions in every part
of Colombia beginning in Bogotá.
From Luis Edgardo Farias Alvarez, Miami
Thank you for this Notice Board which has become our list of
intercession. Pray for us, as we are starting a mission in Miami, with our
three children.

I know you are from different nations. As Christmas is soon coming we
are planning to make a party for students. And I wanted to ask you for a
story on how people celebrate the Christmas season in different, even
exotic, countries. Could you send me a short story about this. Please ask
your friends. I'll be thankful so much.
From Daniel Cardoso, Mar del Plata, Argentina
The greatest needs are outside the Church. The Church that evangelizes
is the Church that grows. You cannot reap without sowing. We had better
have an evangelical vision for our daily environment, our cities, and
the world. It is time to put shoulder to plough, seek integrity and holiness,
and put all our lives, belongings and gifts to the service of the Lord, as
well as all our doubts, failures and difficulties.
By J. Paulo, Foz do Iguaçu, Brasil.
I am Brazilian and would like to experience other countries. Once I
left my home but only to travel around Brazil. I would like to be in
touch with brothers and sisters from Spanish speaking countries.
By F. John, England.
Well, in the time that we have in this earth we surely need to cast a
wide net in prayer that will reach to our unsaved family members, every
one of them! My faith is being strengthened to pray bigger and bigger
prayers for them. Lets put out into deep waters and throw out our nets of
prayer.

We are planning to visit an orphanage which will be good so
the children can see people from outside. It will also help our
student friends to see what Christian charity is. We will buy toys,
clothes and books and show the Jesus movie in the town. We may
invite a Christian band to perform for the youth who lack a good example
of what young Christians look like.
By Pastor César Oviedo, Sáenz Peña, Argentina.
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is
wise. Proverbs 11:30. How many souls have you gained for the Lord? To how
many people will you speak today about Him? God listens your cry and
intercession. If some relatives of yours do not know the Lord yet, pray
that your family may be saved and He will set up the chance for you to
speak to them. If you ask, He will listen and your family shall be
touched.
By Víctor Rodríguez, USA
Back home in Peru there is a group of young people eager to train for
ministry. They are waiting for a parcel with your lessons
so that the pastor can photocopy them. I think this group will grow more
and more. I will also study in your School of Mission.

If the most valuable thing in the world is the human soul, then what
have you done today, to help some soul along life’s way, to know God and
to do His will, so He their every need can fill, so they will be part of
that great fraternity, who will live with God throughout eternity?
From Mariela and Marcelo, Buenos Aires.
My husband and I with our 4-year old son, are deeply moved towards the
missiony field. We have been in Europe, Morocco and Israel and look
forward to news as we know the loneliness workers face because

You cannot imagine how elated I felt when I found you people. I am
recovering from a two-year long fall. May God fill you with blessing. I am
a young director of missions in Chile. I used to be despairing and down
but God is encouraging me through you. Thank you.
De Martha Lidia Ayala García, Veracruz, México.
I am interested in working with missions. There are some young people
interested too so we are forming an intercession group.

I am a young evangelist 6 months in ministry and I am looking
for evangelisation strategies. I am desperate for those who die without
Christ day after day, and I do not want to be doing nothing when I
have got the truth in my heart.

Morocco is where the sun sets on the 10/40 Window. The underground

I am a young lady involved in missions work with my church here in Peru.
There is a great awakening among the young people here. We have never met

A mighty effort of prayer has helped cut off a massacre. The Christian village of
Sepe, was looted, destroyed and
burned by terrorists and Silanca was under attack. Fleeing
villagers say military units, Afghans and foreigners were all fighting Christians
But the attack stopped. The attackers then demonstrated against the govt and the military and bombed the
Sion Presbyterian. An attack in
Pendolo was crushed, and now the people are more optimistic. The biggest concern is that there are over 3000
Christians hiding in the jungle.

In October God opened doors in public high schools and a teachers

This month our country suffered from a hurricane of over 200 kms an
hour. Many people lost their homes or had them damaged. One Christian
organization evangelising in rural areas since 1954 has lost one of their churches.
We are talking of people with scarce resources. We need to rebuild a
chapel for these brothers but need small sums of money to do it,
please.

We have a mission centre in Peru and are about to open other ones as we
see many places are in great need. Pray for us so that the Lord can
fulfill His perfect plans. We would like to hear from people who share
this vision.
By Pastor Manta Timotei, Romania.
These days we had some spiritual, emotional , financial and relational
test we never had before. Because we cannot support our missionary in one
village he left and is possible that other ministers and their families
follow this course of action. I was looking even after a secular job for
providing for my family but God heard our cries and your prayers. Please
pray for us to be faithful where God put us.

We are working with the aboriginal Wichis in the Impenetrable Chaco

behind to follow Christ. Luis Gimenez, one of their leaders,

We have just returned from a Pygmy camp two hours into the jungle from
Bangui. Pygmies clapped their hands and swayed rhythmically as they
lost themselves in worship and adoration. Every so often one or more
would let out a cry of sheer exuberant joy. They had never heard the
gospel until a team left the comfort of the city and made their home
in the jungle. Dont
miss the full report.
Monks from the Bronx are using basketball, skateboarding and busking to
promote Christianity in London's East End. The Community of Franciscan
Friars of the Renewal have set up the mission because they believe Britons
lack faith. They say they find the city a more difficult place to work in
than the Bronx and Harlem.
