The Uganda Party for the Poor
We welcomed people with all kinds of disabilities, the cripples,
the lame, the blind, the deaf, AIDS, mad people and others,
774 in all. People came carry-ing sick and lame on bicycles,
in vehicles and others carried their sick people in their
arms from the hospital. There was food, drinks and gifts
of clothes, and scholastic materials for children. Even
the cripples were dancing on their hands to praise our God
who made all this possible for them. We heard the message
of Christmas and 80 people decided to follow Jesus. After
the party all the streets were full of people singing praise
to God. So many poor people without a shepherd were carried,
pushed or put in trucks to get them back. Not many pastors
have a heart for the poor and see them as a liability, in
fact one church is sending away the people who were sleeping
in their grounds and they have nowhere to go to. Maybe we
can open a centre for the poor in Lira?
George Purkweri, Pastor for the
Poor, Lira, Uganda
In Indonesia we’re still doing our Christmas party . .
We are still visiting 90 more poor families with free Christmas
gifts of rice, sugar, vegetable oil, sauce, fish, salt,
milk, and the Gospel. The Party here was so wonderful with
400 people, young and old and 140 children all together
to celebrate Christ’s birth with songs, dance, prayer, food,
drinks, Gospel booklets, gifts, CDs and clothes. About 50
people received Jesus as their Saviour and Lord. Some people
received healing from diseases and demons and some renewed
their commitment to Christ. We blessed pastors with gifts
and we prayed for the harvest. We did puppet shows, Gospel
stories and a garden party. The meal was bat meat, beef,
roasted duck, fish and coconut. They all ate and were filled,
with baskets full of the fragments that remained. In one
other gathering 18 young people committed their lives to
serve the Lord. This Christmas party was the most extravagant
I’d ever seen.
Yoppi Margianto, Indonesia
Wonderful Malawi Christmas Party
for the Poor
Despite the rain the people came, we had music, dance and
different perfomances. I gave gifts of clothes, books and
seeds. All the 400 people were in a tent next to our house.
May God bless you and everone who gave, we were able to
see some faces happy this time who otherwise have no reason
to be happy at all. Hope the photos will be with you soon.

Christmas in Papua, a party to remember . . .
We brought 153 tribal people and 30 children in rented
government buses to a luxurious government building, not
under a tree as expected because we wanted to give the best
to the people. Neither did they dance half naked because
those who had no shirt were given one. 50 people were born
again, and 103 renewed a commitment to Christ and showed
their joy dancing after a worship time. We send our many
thanks to you all.
Adri and Sunni
Great of you to have done the parties
for the poor.
It takes a big heart to do it. If you see on the Christmas
tree a little light flickering, if you hear a little chime
from the evening bell, I am sure that it is the Lord telling
you: "Thank you". With all my love and prayers.
Philippe, Elboeuf, France.
§ What a lovely thought, however the privilege and
honour remain ours to thank Jesus according to Matthew 24
the only practical way we can, by blessing the poor, just
a small reflection of what Jesus himself always did and
asks us to do not once a year but every day.

Some pastors go into the prisons
. . .
Our new pastors come out of prison in Burkina.
We have been very blessed with the work in Burkina Faso
and Ivory Coast. It glorifies the Lord to see men of God,
gifted as pastors and workers coming out from the spiritual
and state prisons of Africa, thanks to the daily food and
teaching that the Lord allows us to take in to the prisoners.
Almost all the pastors that the Lord is raising up for us
and many of the workers that come with them are from the
prisons, and the majority are them come from muslim families.
Apart from this miracle, just in Burkina alone we are caring
for 1,200 children and young people and by grave given we
are now opening homes and orphanges in all the neighbouring
countries. We can help some pastors to build their churches
and help centres since their villages have tremendous needs.
One much-loved blind pastor, Idrisa, has more than 140 children
and widows under his protection and we have given him a
car, because his passion for evangelism takes him all the
country preaching and praying for the sick. He is very well
known, some people have returned to life from the dead after
he prayed for them.

Don’t let the old become invisible
. . .
It is easy to get help for children but sad to say that
it is not the same for older people. I feel such a pain
in telling you about a very old lady who took her own life
because her family treated her as invisible. She used to
share with the family everything she had and was a friendly
and lovely mother and grandmother. But when she got old
and sick and spent all she had in doctors they sent her
to live in a room in the back and treated her as non-existent!
They forgot all she was for them, they treated her as disposable!
She was so lonely that was deceived by the devil! Oh brother
Les, this is just an example of the way the world treat
those who are not productive anymore. If you go to an orphanage,
you will find a lot of people donating things and visiting
the children but who is really concerned for the old people
living in homes? May God open the eyes of his people to
really see like God sees, with mercy for those who are so
old that their families have abandoned them.
Pastor Ana Maria Avilez, San Pedro
Sula, Honduras
§ For everyone like us too, struggling to care for
aged and not always very easy parents here is good word
from Tony in Surrey, England. " In the Lord’s mercy
and grace may something of the spirit of Simeon and Anna
in Luke 2 be the portion of your parents. In their old age
they were in the spirit and turning the age, even ahead
of young John the Baptist!"
Les and Pilar
Planted - 7 more churches in 7 villages
in Orissa.
260 people committed their lives to Lord, 12 received baptism
and 168 are ready. I had to travel through dusty bumpy roads
to reach many villages. But my troubles were turned into
joy when I aw these poor uncivilised people turned their
lives to Jesus. People are so poor and and nothing to eat,
many had hardly one meal a day.
Saw many orphan and abandoned
children. Opened two homes for these kids. I thank God for
the privilege of sharing Jesus to these people first time.

Brazil graduates plan to take nations
After nine months of training a number of the 77 Azusa School
of Ministry graduates are going to Bolivia, Argentina, India
and Europe to establish new works that emphasize reaching
the unreached people groups as over 85% of missionaries
are ministering to people who have already heard the gospel.
If you are interested in training with us contact:

Churches open in Taliban area
Baluchistan is one of the the most unreached areas in the
world that borders with Afghanistan and Iran. Mllitant groups
related to Al-Qaida and Talbaan are very strong and active
there but we felt a divine security and protection during
this trip. The growth of Christianity in these areas continues
despite resistance and Sharia Law in some MMA states. We
have 78 house churches and more than 9200 committed believers
there, most live under the poverty line and face persecution
but are very strong in faith. We carried in 3800 Urdu bibles,
1000 song books and other literature with us and did 11
gospel meetings which planted two more churches. 64 new
believers were baptized. Praise God.

Are you far from home and feeling
lonely . .
Here is a lovely word from Paul Garret of New Zealand.
"Be very assured that no matter how isolated or lonely
you may feel . . . You are dearly beloved of the Lord. He
knows your situation. It is He Who has placed you where
you are, and He is with you – no matter how far away He
might seem to be. He does care for you and watches over
you more than you understand or comprehend. He is working
out His plans and purposes in and through you. He has been
where you are now - He left the realms of glory for the
manger, and He agonized alone in the garden before His great
and terrible day. Although the physical comfort, encouragement
and fellowship of family and friends is far away, please
be assured there are many who are aware of your situation
and are upholding you at this time. We are “labourers together…”
To those at home with family or friends, would you please
remember, consider and uphold people in mission who are
not so blessed today. Remember them, support and sustain
them by your “vertical” support.
Paul Garratt

I felt the Lord say we have reached
a watershed . .
A watershed is ‘the boundary line between river catchments’
where tiny, almost hidden streams not much bigger than a
man’s arm appear from nowhere and begin to flow. They may
seem to be going in opposite directions and can easily be
blocked but as they become bigger, they flow faster and
eventually they flow together to form a mighty and unstoppable
river which carries everything with it. I believe God is
asking us to encourage these different streams as they struggle
to flow, removing all the small blockages which may prevent
them and that if we do that, they will soon start to pour
living water into the main river. My prayer for DCI in 2007
is that many more streams would spring up in unexpected
places, apparently from nowhere, although there is always
a deep source, bubbling irrepressibly into life, and refusing
to become a stagnant swamp, or to be dammed up. May you
who tend the streams be refreshed, and not drained and hold
on to the vision of the vast river which is forming.

Trips to Israel from Madrid for just
890 Euros all in . .
I hope that the Holy Spirit is giving you a special love
for Israel, not from any political or religious Zionism
but because the suffering of Jewish people is intensifying
with the increase of worldwide anti-semitism. The God of
Israel is giving compassion to all who watch and pray to
be a blessing to the Jewish people that He used to bring
us salvation. We have trips to Israel from Madrid every
week, with room for 8 people to stay in our own mission
home in Jerusalem. We pray and serve, and you can visit
all the historic places. We have got the price down to €890
Euros each including all travel, accommodation, meals, transport
and visits.

Comibam III in Granada, Spain.
Last November the Ibero-American Missions Congress, Comibam
III, brought together 2000 missionaries, pastors and people
in mission in beautiful Granada for the first time, to discuss
the past 20 years of Latin American mission and to set new
goals. It was a great success.
Pastor-mobilizer Rubén
Besada, 48, Mendoza, Argentina.
You, Lord, are my shepherd . .
I will never be in need.
You let me rest in fields of green grass.
You lead me to streams of peaceful water,
and you refresh my life.
You are true to your name,
and you lead me along the right paths.
I may walk through valleys as dark as death but I won't
be afraid.
You are with me, and your shepherd's rod makes me feel safe.
You treat me to a feast, while my enemies watch.
You honor me as your guest,
and you fill my cup until it overflows.
Your kindness and love will always be with me
each day of my life,
and I will live forever in your house.
Psalm 23. CEV
