By Marie Therese Lannuzel, England.
I will be leaving for Burkina Faso on the 10th. It has not been an easy preparation but my church has been very supportive. It will be good to meet with the friends we have made over the last few years and to see how my adopted Burkinabe son Assamadou and his family are getting on.

From Juan Soza, La Paz, Bolivia
Thank you for having a ready heart to help the poor, no matter what their condition may be. Our charity also works with street children and homeless families. Thank you for the school page that help train us as missionaries.

A mayor has banned the devil from her Florida town. Carolyn Risher has issued a written statement saying "Satan is hereby declared powerless, no longer ruling over, nor influencing, our citizens". She has copies on her office wall and the rest are on fence posts at the four entrances to Inglis.

From Myriam Juárez de Marrero, Vichadero, Uruguay
We are working on the border with Brazil. There is a lot of Christians here who have only been taught about religious rules. God is setting His people free. Your studies are a blessing to us.

From José Urrutia, Bio-Bio, Chile
This is an urgent call to intercede for Muslim peoples during Ramadan up to December 16 when they themselves pray, fast, and consecrate their lives to Allah.

By Gail Dixon, "Nations" Wales.
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.

By Pastor V. Amacy, Mauritius, Indian Ocean.
I am a pastor of Emannuel Fellowship in Mauritius. I started with 3 people, now by God's grace we have planted another church. My heart cries for poor nations. I have been to Africa 53 times. There is a great need in India, Africa, Madagascar, Seychelles. Please pray for me that I can train leaders to send to the harvest.

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.

By Pastor Daniel, Kerala, India
Please pray for new open doors in Orissa, Karnataka and Chattisghat to open Bible Schools and Churches. We need more native missionaries and bible teachers to train the natives, and more prayer partners and supporters for mission in India.

By Arterm Sedov, Saratov, Russia
I just got employed as graphics designer together with Eugene. Pray for our success as we were unemployed for last half of the year. We organized an awesome Bible Study on 16th of November. and did a mission trip to Samara.

By Pastor JJ, Central India
We returned from Gujarat on after a 13 days trip to a seminar for 80 of our pastors. It was a blessed and anointed time with 6 teaching session a day for 6 days, but still the time was short. In a 3 day gospel meeting we saw almost 200 salvation's and 16 baptisms. New doors have been opened and the Lord is mightily pouring out his grace and blessings upon our small ministry.

From Marco Cisneros, México
In our local church, we have been called to intercede in favour of nations and missionaries. This page is a great opportunity to receive news of blessings that God is pouring round the world.

By Pasteur Philippe Ouédraogo, Burkina Faso.
Pastor Mathieu, a BA, from Leo, finds it difficult to feed his children and pay for school. The family work by hand but the harvest will not cover the fees. Mathieu is starting a new church.

Please pray for open hearts and open doors for the Gospel in Afghanistan and for Iranians in Iran who are searching for Bibles and Christian literature. They are often unable to go to a church.

I believe that Jesus Christ is my Saviour. I am young leader of a Presbyterian Church in rural area of Bangladesh among illiterate people who live in poverty. There are 5,000 Christians and only 11 Reverends to serve them. We young leaders help them. We need administration and leadership training so please pray for us.

By Pastor George Purkweri, Lira, Uganda.
Our Bank for the Poor provides interest free $50-$100 loans to help widows and orphans start micro-business. After getting some money from us one widow who bakes bread was so happy she brought bread to the Church and said, "Sell this bread and give the money to the poor lady sick with Aids." God had helped her to pay her son's school fees and she wanted to be a part of what God is doing. To add to the capital fund click here.

From Dr Carlos A Rivera, Houston, Texas
I have just finished a Lutheran Bible Institute project in Spanish. It will be a great blessing for training Spanish-speaking leaders. I am also about to finish a project for Colombia by which many poorer pastors can have training classes on video at their missions.

From Clemente Guerra Villegas, Pisco, Peru.
I work as a micro-business advisor and I am happy to answer lots of e-mails from these pages requesting free advice. We have begun our mission work with people situated over 4,700 metres above sea level. It's terribly cold. They don't have telephones or radios but God's love makes us immune to these adverse conditions. I still need Spanish Bibles to give away, please.

By Marion Male, Labassa, Fiji
I am in NZ speaking about our training school project. God has opened up many door and churches, and interest is high. I have just been invited to the USA. The building project is going very well, we have our new road, one house is just about built and our workshop will be built early next year. If you know builders or a handy people we need people like them to come and help us.

From Musme Apóstol, Yanomami Missionary, Venezuela
In Mavaca, Amazonas there will be a meeting where people from different countries will be discuss the Yanomami people. Obviously, there are many people interested in them. And there are many who are interested in ousting the missionaries. Please pray as I will attend those meetings.

From Ella Ferrer, Panama.
I have found your web page and it has been a blessing not only for me but for others as well. I am downloading the lessons and circulating them wherever God lets me so. May God multiply your work, and provide you with all your needs according to His abundance and glory.

From Alicia de Del Basso, Pergamino, Argentina.
After my husband's trip to Köln the calling to serve God in Germany has been confirmed. My husband met a wonderful group of German, British and Indian brothers. We are praying for a second trip to explore that land together and the possibilities for work, living and education for our five children.

Another report from a visit to China
Address removed for security reasons
We met 5 underground leaders who were enthusiastic about some Chinese managing to visit Britain saying, "You sent us a first generation of missionariesand they did a wonderful job, but where is this generation of British missionaries to China?" We asked them for prayer requests and they were: That China would open to let the Chinese missionaries out; for the training of Chinese missionaries; for pastors to know how to look after their people in a deeper way; for persecution to be lifted over China.

By Manta Timotei, Romania
I am a young, inexperienced pastor in tough places, with few people and fewer resources which affects me. I am ready to be taught concerning the early period of ministry. What lessons do you consider valuable? Can you email me resumes of good books on leadership, pastoring, spirituality, planting, and character in difficult times. Pray for me to stay where God put me serving these small churches whatever the circumstances.

By Pasteur Philippe Ouedraogo, Burkina Faso
Simon, a pastor with 20 years experience is now a national cross culture missionary church planting with the Dagara people at the border with Ghana. He asked me for help to roof the mud church building that 45 new Christians just built. All we were able to offer were 2nd hand clothes to take to his new converts some 200 kms. away. They are afraid the mud building walls without a roof may fall in the rainy season. To help see this page

By John Fergusson, England about India.
We laid hands on desperate crowds, greedy for God's touch during 35 meetings. We sweated buckets, preached hoarse, ate late and slept dead. Curiosity to see the mad Englishman who preaches in the rain made 5,000 become 15,000. The miracles flowed like a river as many were healed. Two dumb children spoke, a blind lady saw, a deaf man heard, a lady was healed of throat cancer, and a man crippled for 40 years walked. In all my years with CfaN I had never seen like this, except in some huge African crusades.

By Nigel Freestone, London
Who is Jesus? Why did he die? What is a Christian? How can I be one? Please pray that www.IntroducingJesus.org will reach those looking for Jesus on the web.

Have you asked Jesus into your life ?

Millions of men, women and children all over the world know the love of God for themselves because they asked Jesus to be their Saviour, Lord and friend now and for all eternity. For over 24 years of following Jesus, he has proven himself to be our helper, our provider, our protector and shelter in the storms of life. If you haven't taken that most important of all decisions yet, right now is always the very best time. Maybe this Prayer will help you ?
