Hunger and pain can be relieved

Many people here are displaced because of the widespread wave of violence by different rebel groups. We are trying to help the 6000 displaced families in our area alone and we need people to send us clothes, footwear and whatever you have. The cost of living is high here because when the drug dealers came in prices went through the roof. Drugs are still causing a lot of damage but we are fighting this evil with the word of God and prayer and with some help we can relieve more of the hunger and the pain of these families. Raul Orozco Sarria, Ministerio Saetas de Salvacion, C/.6a. No. 4- 27 Barrio Jose Maria Hernandez Apartado Postal 055 Mocoa Putumayo, Colombia.

School children with guns roam wild

For 7 years people have been dying in the conflicts and the UN website describes the catastrophe day by day. We thank God for moving us gradually toward peace but please pray for the youth in Ituri because many young people took guns to defend their ethnic causes. The majority of young people involved in fighting were school boys and are not able to go back to school. These young people who have no parents need love, compassion, Christ in their lives. If God puts in your heart to come and reach youth you will be the welcome. Pastor Dino Kile Mozart, Bunia

From suicide to stability and success

Dear Les, You remember brother Shaji who received Jesus on the day we went to the leper colony and he overheard the meeting, and stopped his family suicide ? Our Bank for the Poor helped him with 5000 Rupees to start a cottage industry making mats and baskets with bamboo. His wife knew how to do it. He and his family comes to the church and prays to the Lord. His kids are very happy for getting food every day. Right now we don't want to do any thing with Tsunami affected people as government is doing many things. We are looking for the believers who are not helped by any one. I will let you know when I get some information on such people. Since then we have been back to the leper colony to take servcies and give blankets. Pastor Daniel, Kerala. http://www.voiceofgospelministry.org

Iran

Mullah demands silence to hear Jesus film

Not only Iranians in Western exile, but also Muslims in Iran are coming to faith in Christ in their thousands. In the 1980's, it was two or three new believers each month. In the 1990's, we were impressed when we heard about a group of new believers. Today, we are just somewhat surprised to discover an entire new underground church. After 25 years of Islamic Revolution and its promises to answer all life's questions, people are disappointed. 60% of all Iranians know the Gospel and people are coming to faith in Christ as never before. One Iranian Bible courier was on a long bus journey and went to the driver and asked him to put on a video of the Jesus Film. The courier was then shocked to discover a Mullah a few seats behind him. How would the react? The man could not keep his eyes off the video, and soon jumped up, shouting with a shaking voice "Please be quiet! This is a film about a holy man, the Prophet Jesus. His life deserves our full attention!" Immediately, the noisy bus fell silent, and the passengers concentrated on the video. At the end of the film, which ends with an evangelistic call, the Mullah sat in his seat, weeping. Source: (Open Doors) http://www.opendoors.org To subscribe to FridayFax send a blank e-mail message

Italy

After 3 months in my "Promised Land"

This winter is very cold in Italy with plenty of snow. Even the wolves have come down the mountains due to lack of food. It is appalling to read in the press how many people die frozen in the streets. Crops have failed and some areas are in agricultural emergency. There have been 41 murders in Naples in 4 months and this goes on daily. Walking through Genoa or Milan is like walking through Buenos Aires, with people begging by the traffic lights and in the metro. There's unemployment, strikes and demonstrations; litter, graffiti and people suffering the same emptiness and uncertainty. On top of this there are a great number of immigrants from the East, the Middle East and Africa. Alleluia! The King must be coming but right now workers are needed. The time is nigh. There is a lot to do and many genuine Christians are really and honestly looking for a change in these lives and in this nation. I have a attended a meeting of worshippers with hungry hearts in Salerno. I know that there will be others in Varese, Torino, and soon in Rome. The Lord listens to every prayer. Do not forget these people in prayer. Margarita Macazaga from Argentina

Who can help us with some study books ?

Dear Les, do you know Is there any way that you can help our students with reference books or study Bibles ? Pastor Steven Chisale § Dear Pastor Steven, Yes, I do know some people here who are helping pastors around the world with study books. I hope that some of our readers might feel like emptying their bookshelves of the books they haven't opened for years. How about it folks ? Les Norman.

Looking for studies on prophecy

We are starting a school for missions and prophets in the city of Villahumada, Chihuahua. Thank you for the materials about missions.

Morocco

Lord, give him a dream !

We didn't hear from Mohammed for months, and we wondered what had happened to him. One team member said that they would ask God to give him a dream. That night, his late father, a Muslim, came to Mohammed in a dream and told him to follow Jesus ! The next day, Mohammed gave his life to the Lord!! A few days later, Mohammed's brother found him reading his Bible and demanded to know what was happening. He said that if Mohammed had become a Christian, he would no longer consider him his brother. He then summoned Mohammed to a family meeting to discuss the situation. This is a tough thing for a new believer to face here, especially one who has only known Jesus for a week. Mohammed seemed calm when I spoke to him on the phone, and solid in his decision, although he was obviously concerned about would happen as he faced his family. He phoned me after his family meeting to say that it had gone well, and that his family is "beginning to understand what has happened to me". Pray for his growth in Christ, his safety, and for wisdom in what to say and the courage to say it. Arise Shine Morocco, Prayer Bulletin 52 http://www.interum.org/ASM

Pakistan

Evangelisation and church-planting are possible

Bernd Goldbach, an evangelist with Reach the Unreached held an outreach in Pakistan and had a sensational breakthrough. Fourteen new churches were planted and almost all of the 45 churches which took part in the outreach doubled their membership. People from 35 villages who attended the outreach are still hungry for the Gospel. The Lord confirmed His Word through dramatic healings. and up to 10,000 people attended the evangelistic meetings, which were held directly in front of a mosque and had to be guarded because of threats of suicide bombing by Al Qaeda.

Russia

Taking the gospel into Siberia

150 students, faculty and staff at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary will take the Gospel to Siberia over the next five years. Russia is a nation of more than 145 million people, but only 250,000 are evangelical Christians. This is really a mission field, our dream and calling is that each town and village in Russia would have an evangelical church , that each pastor in Russia will have a theological education, and that each church will have its own building or place to meet. And we dream that each citizen of Russia will hear and receive the Good News of Jesus Christ. SBC Baptist Press http://www.sbcbaptistpress.org/bpnews.asp?ID=20095
