DCI Schools of Mission Leaders and Students Circular

Have you seen this page about the Nairobi School of Mission yet ? Tips from around the world In order to qualify for a valid diploma the School of Mission gives the students a lesson to learn and also something to write, something to discuss and something to do. If the students do not do the written homework and the practical service then they cannot have a diploma and they miss a really important way of learning more, people learn best by doing, thinking and writing. Don't provide handouts before or after each lesson. Let the students take notes by hand as you speak, and afterwards check the quality of their note-taking. Note-taking increases concentration and learning. Offer a complete set of notes for those graduates who intend to go and open up the School somewhere else afterwards. Use the students as volunteers in your own mission work or office, and the students will learn more by helping on the job alongside the leaders and other workers.

About the Bird Flu

Because of the expected worldwide spread of this disease, and the fear of it at government level, we seriously and urgently advise you to not accept any proposals for micro-businesses that involve chickens, eggs, ducks or birds of any kind. If you or your project leaders have any bird related businesses we advise that the birds be sold at the earliest opportunity, now before it is too late, and the money re-invested in another kind of business. This is advice not a demand but you will do well to carefully consider the situation in your own country. One of our ladies in Cameroon has just had her entire flock destroyed by the government, and compensation will be very uncertain. Pray first and do whatever is best for you. Please remember to stay in touch every month. This is important to maintain your status for future development of your project.

Faith makes everything possible

Two years ago I contacted a pastor en Kenya through this page and this year five of us health professionals went to see him. We took spiritual and material help and we all felt very blessed. The need is huge but God-willing we will go back again next year. God is faithful. We had no money but after prayer the Lord opened the way and we had enough and plenty to spare. Rodrigo, 33, Temuco.

India

Mizoram and Nagas send thousands of missionaries

Indian tribes from Mizoram who were converted to Christianity between 1840 and 1960 by missionaries from Wales are now returning to evangelise the Welsh because Wales is in a state of religious decline. While in Mizoram, a fruit of the Welsh mission, over 80 percent are Christians, in Wales church attendance has dropped under 10 %. More here In nearby Nagaland 99% of a population of 2 million are Christians and in 1976 the Nagas made a covenant with God to send out 10,000 missionaries to the world. Over 8,000 missionaries have already been sent and hundreds of churches planted. More here From Joel News http://www.joelnews.org

Indonesia

Three Christians to be executed this week

The Coalition for Fair Trials says the trial of Tibo, da Silva and Riwu from Poso did not meet the standards of a fair trial especially when credible witnesses prove that the men were not the planners or executors of the crimes. Sadly, the Indonesian government is exercising undue, some would say, dirty haste, to execute these men, so that when the murderous Jihadis who killed more than 200 in the Bali bombing are executed they can claim to be even handed. Please appeal to our government through your embassy or through my email and ask your friends too. More information here: Indonesia Watch and at Jubilee Campaign or Persecution News from Pembela Indonesia http://www.pembela.org DCI Banking for the Poor starts in Indonesia Because of the £500 of start-up capital we received from you people are so blessed for the loan they got and they ask me to say thanks to you al for the beautiful things you have done for these Indonesian people. Twenty-one men and women now have micro-businesses of their own for just $30 upwards and will escape poverty by selling porridge, snacks, newspapers, coconut ice, eggs, traditional medicine, spice, clothes, noodles, ducks, cakes, coffee, soup and woodcarving. Meet two of the ladies - Mrs. Y used to live a good, prosperous life with a happy family until her husband left her to marry another woman. Now her condition was very pitiful, so we decided to help her, although she is Muslim. The good news is she now finds a place to relieve her soul and has heard many good testimonies from or about Christians. She knows she is a victim of Islamic polygamy and the selfish life of her background and she seems to find Christ as the only solution to survive. Please pray for her, since it’s not easy thing for a Muslim like her to follow Jesus, it brings many risks even for her life. Mrs Dedeh was homeless leper for three years, sleeping anywhere she could find. Now she sell salty eggs and finds it easy at the market. She thanks Jesus for His mercy to me, and she thanks you for making my life more precious now. Her leprosy is being gradually recovered. More information on Banking for the Poor. Pastor YM, Indonesia. Address via DCI for security reasons § We welcome the gift of more capital for poor people to have their own micro-businesses. In Indonesia just £500/$800 was enough to get 21 families out of total poverty and as they repay the money is immediately loaned to others on the approved list. See our Banking for the Poor page for more information. Please consider investing a gift in our Bank for the Poor, we need your help.

Russia

School of Mission Leader in Moscow receives doctorate

The major thesis of my dissertation, The Ministry Driven Church, is practical ministries to "the poor, maimed, lame and blind." We are committed to this because that's what Jesus did, what He taught His disciples to do, and what He commanded them to teach their disciples to do. This is the forgotten factor in the formula for rapid church growth. You're welcome to get a copy to read here "Dr.Bob" Hosken, 42 years in Russia. Agape-Biblia: www.agape-biblia.org Agape Rehab Society: www.agape-biblia.org/rehab § Many, many congratulation Robert from everyone in DCI England, what a tremendous achievement. Everyone should read your book and do what it says. Les and Pilar
