Spain medics treat thousands of Burkina
poor
It is hard to imagine anything more beautiful or effective
for the poor and the gospel than this . . .
In 8 days our friends and partners as a team of 8 medics
and 20 support workers, all in Burkina at their own expense, built a 1000 m2 field
hospital, attended 700 poor villagers, fed long queues of
people waiting outside the free hospital, fed children in
villages and shared the gospel with all. They trained 6
medical students, did three trips with a mobile hospital
bus, treated prisoners in the jail, visited the state hospital,
the university, the government and churches, did teaching
and researched future possibilities.
Les Norman
§ Dr. Angel Olmo says: “ I cannot find the words
to be able to describe how I feel at this moment. The
time was so short, the days went by so quickly and the
experiences we had were so numerous and so different that
it is impossible to take on board all the gifts from God,
the surprises, his blessings and the privilege of being
able to work in a team like this one. All I can say is
that it cannot end here. I know that what we are doing
has to grow and I do believe that we will reach much further
if we allow Christ and Christ alone to be at the helm
of this work.
Without any doubt we are living in historic moments in
the Christian faith, and I say this sincerely without
trying to be eloquent or to exaggerate. I firmly believe
that the ministry that the Lord has given to us through
medical mission is one of the most effective channels
that we can use in this day and age to bring people to
the foot of the cross of Christ whether over there in
Burkina Faso or in other similar extremely poor countries
including our own spiritually poor nation which is part
of the so-called first world.
How can I find words big enough or intense enough to
describe exactly how you feel when you have been unable
to love like Jesus loved. In Burkina Faso the Lord took
us into a new experience of what is His love for the poor
and my prayer now is that Jesus will continue working
in every one of us on this team, that this journey may
just be the beginning of a revolution in our own level
of commitment to Jesus and for Jesus.
Dr. Angel Olmo, emsi@mision,
Barcelona, Spain.
Hundreds of healing miracles in Colombia
hospital
British itinerant missionary Paul Bennison says he witnessed
hundreds of healing miracles in Cali after hospital authorities
gave him and his team permission to visit and pray for any
who were interested. Alberto had been released from prison
to hospital as he had become paralysed from the waist down.
After the team prayed for him, astonished prison staff took
him back to jail completely well. A woman saw this happen
and asked Paul to pray for her father who was lying paralysed
on a trolley. He was suffering from liver failure and was
unable to speak. Paul quoted words from Scripture, "You
shall run and not be weary; walk and not faint". He
then moved on to another patient. Minutes later the daughter
came to call Paul back to the (now empty) trolley. She said
that her father had suddenly sat up and said, "I have
to run!" which he did - straight out of the hospital!
By the third week, ninety percent of the beds contained
new patients as the previous occupants had all been healed.
Some were cured when they met a previously paralysed man
in the toilet - he told them what had happened to him and
they were healed on the spot!

Report from the BBC London
The very modest home of Yoppi Margianto (seen above),
our Indonesian translator, School of Mission and Bank
for the Poor leader is submerged under a lot of polluted
water in the Jakarta floods that have made the headlines
around the world and taken many lives.
"Today the flood came again at 3 am,
and almost twice deeper than before."
Please pray for
Yoppi, his wife and small children, especially against
disease and if you would like to join us in sending some
emergency money to get them through this horrible crisis you are very
welcome.

More on those extraordinary
Thailand Christmas Parties for the Poor . . . .
|
|
We brought Christmas to the poor and needy in Chiang Dow
to over 600 Akha Hill-tribe people. Jesus is their only
hope. These people are originally from Tibet and only 100
are regularly attending church and call themselves Christian.
In reality only a handful are truly born again. With their
cultural shyness many may have received Christ but were
shy to raise their hands. All have one thing in common they
are all extremely poor and they are all in desperate need
of the love and life which only Christ Jesus can bring.
Thank you everyone at DCI, these really are the lost, the
last and the least. We fed the entire village . .
See the photos and read the story here
See the full story in last
month’s issue
We then traveled to a Karen Hilltribe village where we
brought Christmas to over 500 Karen Hilltribe people.
Many are already Christian and serve the Lord Jesus faithfully,
but many almost 99% do not understand the true meaning
of His grace many believe that they are saved by baptism.

Concert for the elderly in Siberia winter . .
It was a wonderful experience, our kids liked it very
much and were really happy to serve to these old fogotten
people in a home. They danced and sang songs and gave
away sweets. Some old people cried all the way long while
listening to the Christmas songs, others sat numb and
quiet as statues and I could hardly say whether they were
alive. Others were talkative and happy to see children's
faces. Much love always,

Two free books to download . . .
Esteemed by
Angels
By Dr Rob Reeve, Horizons France
This book is written to encourage prayer, and motivate
mission. It contains devotional teaching and examples
of the practical outworking of prophetic prayer in action.
There is also some more systematic teaching on world mission
to encourage the emergence of indigenous mission movements
in Central Africa and beyond. Above all it is a book which
is passionate about the infinite possibilities that prayer
opens up to us, enabling even the most humble mortal to
fulfil his personal destiny in bringing the awesome love
of Christ to the nations.

Lots
of Loving - One Man’s Journey To The Nations
by Dr. Robert Reeve, Horizons France
Through his own story Rob leads us on a voyage of discovery;
the discovery of God's purpose working through everyday
people and situations, the discovery that every heart
cry is heard and valued by our Creator, the discovery
that nothing can stop a person who is determined to follow
God. Once we know these things we are trapped. We must
take action ourselves. I laughed and cried reading it.
Rob has the capacity to stand outside of himself and see
something of the gentle interweaving of past, present
and future. His recounting is earthy, smattered with humour
and compassion. By telling his own story he has conveyed
his wonder at the purpose that pervades his life. In doing
so he opens a window for us to wonder at the purpose in
our own. One of my earliest memories of Rob is his arrival
at the UK Horizons HQ for an expedition to North Africa.
He carried his luggage in a black bin liner. That thin
black plastic bag seemed to sum up all he cared for worldly
goods. He was off on an adventure with God, and there
was no holding him back !

Free Practical Ministries course

February online start with 13 weeks, till the 8th of May.
This is the kind of ministry that the Lord Jesus did to
"the poor, the lame, the maimed and the blind, to widows
and orphans." It's what He showed His disciples how
to do and sent them out to do it, and what He commanded
them to teach their disciples to do. God has given the gifts
of church leadership, prophets, evangelists, pastors and
teachers for the equipping of the saints to the work of
ministry, to the building up of the body of Christ"
(Ephesians 4:12). Their purpose is to prepare ordinary Christians
to do the work of ministry which is the building up of the
body of Christ. So by getting all Christians involved in
demonstrating the love of Christ to "the poor, the
lame, the maimed and the blind, to widows and orphans,"
we can literally build up the church, the body of Christ!

we have three things to do to lead us . . .
Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly.
And the best of the three is love.

Many couldn't send their children
to school,
with Bank for the Poor now they can . . .
All the women of the
DCI Bank for the Poor project brought
together our first fruits, each one of us brought some
little food that we cooked and invited our relatives,
neighbors and friends in the New year, its was an occasion
to share the good news of Jesus Christ. We really enjoyed
ourselves as we sang; songs of praises to God who really
visited us this year, many among us were not able to send
their children to schools and today they are all healthy
and clothes and going to schools. Thanks for giving us
such opportunity and may the Lord bless you

The last word for today . .
One ship drives east and another drives west,
with the selfsame winds that blow.
Tis the set of the sails and not the gales,
that decides the way to go.
This the set of the soul that decides its goal,
and not the calm or the strife.
