Uganda
Second massacre in two weeks
It took place almost at the door of this DCI base in Uganda.
Our Member of Parliament counted 193 murdered people, many were children burned
alive by the LRA rebels. The Government soldiers are doing so little, people
are suffering, no food, no education, no sense of living at all. We face more
death unless God and the international community intervenes.
Pastor George Purkweri, DCI Uganda, Lira.

George Purkweri in peace march that ends in more deaths.
Is another Rwanda on the horizon ?
§ We encourage you to write a
short courteous note to the Ugandan Government via their official e-mail or via their Embassy in the USA to protest the lack of
defence for the people of Lira and to request urgent negotiations to end the
violence. Also do write to your own government to ask them to bring
international pressure on Uganda to solve this bloodthirsty hidden war which is
taking the lives of thousands of innocents many of whom are believers and
refugees.

Mel Gibson's Passion Film Coming
"The most gut-wrenching, emotional
and life-changing
two hours of my life."
This is a unique outreach opportunity for the worldwide
church. Outside the USA, sadly, the awareness of the film and the opportunities
that it offers, are so far very limited. In UK the film releases at end of
March but few Christians know that it exists. Is anyone planning nationwide
publicity, literature, or other tie-ins ? The film will play in cinemas for a few weeks, after that
time it will have lost the great advantage of people seeing it in secular,
neutral, familiar surroundings. Christian groups and churches must start
planning now, as a matter of urgency.

The power of the gospel
Many children who are bought up in my Father’s orphanage
have become great people and doing wonderful work in society and nation. Some of the Muslims and High Caste people
lives were dramatically changed from eternal destruction to Life. In our
mission many unreached are being reached and being born-again but enemies of
the Cross try their best to destroy the work, some even attacking Bible Schools
and Orphanages to harm the people of God. Our country is having elections in
April, please pray for a secular party would come to power and the
anti-Christian forces to be defeated.

Life in Dakar for a beggar child
Around forty boys aged live in a small community house in
the care of a teacher to whom their parents, poor Moslem village folk, have
given one or two of their children. This is a very common practice in Senegal.
The teacher is in charge of the children's entire education above all the study
of the Koran. Because they are extremely poor the parents make no financial
contribution so the teacher who has no other resources to live on has to send
the children out begging every day. One of the Taizé brothers living in Dakar
describes his work with the children here

correspondents in 56 countries covering cultural, political, economic,

renewal.

§ First – if you speak Spanish
see the brilliant OndaPaz soul winning website with free video and book on
offer. Now, for everyone who does not know Alice Cooper is a man, a brilliant rock
musician with a big following and even bigger reputation – “wild, raunchy,
bloody, and vile – according to one reviewer.
It seems that he has come through to faith in Christ. See this page
for all the details from his fans. Is anyone too hard for Jesus ?
