Thrilled with the Party for the Poor
Great indeed is our satisfaction and joy for being part
of your work this Christmas. The Lord will reward your marvellous
work for these most deprived and helpless ones. In particular,
I am thrilled to I think they are going to be snatched out
of the hands of the enemy of our souls and brought to Jesus.
How happy they will be with even single day of abundant
Kingdom life on this earth. I am ashamed of living in an
age when what someone else needs is just thrown away with
contempt, things that can do marvels in the hands of many
poor people and that can put an end to the cruel parade
on TV of malnourished children, women and elderly people.
Be sure that when God said to Noah, “Be fruitful and increase
in number and fill the earth”, He did not intend to keep
a large part of humanity malnourished and famished. The
wickedness of man is his craving for money with greed. The
land gives enough fruit for us all.
Jean Amiral, 82, Jacou, France.
§ In January we will bring a you a special edition full of
reports and photos of our Annual
Christmas Parties
for the Poor. This year they are in Thailand, Indonesia,
Papua New Guinea, Malawi and Uganda and instead of
treating our families, friends and partners at home, our guests are refugees,
street kids, disabled people, slum dwellers, the homeless,
the widows, the orphans and the AIDS victims and this
Christmas 3,990
people will have a day to remember of eating, drinking,
the gospel and prayer with gifts to take home to celebrate the
coming of Jesus, the gift of God to every one.

Twenty-eight medics choose an African
Christmas
From 27 December to 6 January, 28 doctors will be working
in different villages near Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso on
health care, education, agricultural activities and support
to micro-businesses to try to reduce the levels of dependency
in this country, one of the 5 poorest in the world. Thanks
to the experience gained during last year’s trip we have
been able to prioritise needs and apart from specific health
care like eye surgery, paediatrics, nose and throat surgery,
gynaecology and obstetrics this trip’s challenges include
training in malaria diagnosis, training physical education
teachers for orphans and poor children, music and drama
groups for young people, and water quality control. Thank
you DCI for prayer support, encouraging words and advice
which gave us a motivation to push forward in extremely
poor countries. Our motto is “To love as Jesus loves” from
John 15:12. A different Christmas awaits this group of people
aged between 18 and 60. Far, far away from the lights of
the Western cities but very close to that true light that
came to the World around 2000 years ago to shine upon every
man and woman. All the help that we give over Christmas
in Burkina Faso will just be the wrapping paper on the best
gift anyone can receive: the message of true Christmas,
the eternal love of Jesus.
Dr Angel Olmo Romero, EMSI,
Barcelona, Spain.

Yesterday, Israel; tomorrow, West
Africa
We have just arrived from Israel with our hearts deeply
moved by the many open doors and opportunities we found
there. We think the Lord is removing the veil from their
eyes so that they may accept Jesus as their Messiah and
Saviour. We have opened a beautiful house in downtown Jerusalem
where we gather and put up visitors, etc. We are going to
the Ivory Coast and Burkina tomorrow –and may I say, Les
Norman, that it’s your fault for taking us in the first
place years ago! As always, we are filled with joy because
we love our brothers in those lands and we believe the Lord
has given many people to us. Some big projects are up and
running. We may even meet the Ivory Coast’s First Lady –a
sister in Christ- who wants to support us in our social
work, because they are going through some difficult time
due to the Islamic invasion spearheaded from France, which
made the country descend into a civil war. The government
is fighting alone against Islam –it seems that Israel is
their only help. We are urged to open a hospital. It seems
that the Lord wants us to expand the social work alongside
Remar-Sanitas to help those in need physically, psychologically
and spiritually. Also in Ouaga, we will meet several politicians
and we’ll hold our congress. We hope we can carry on the
projects of building a first aid centre and hospices. When
we get back, we will let you know about everything the Lord
does during this trip. We appreciate your prayers. A big
hug in the Love of the Lord.

Devastating civil crisis lasted 14 years in Liberia
We are now really trying to do just what is right in the
sight of the Lord as a Christian nation so that the Lord
will pour down His blessings on our war ravaged country.
Four persons accepted Christ from just the last few days
of training and assignments by our students in the new
DCI School of Mission. We thank God for what He is really
about to do in Liberia.
Pastor John Duco, Monrovia.
§ Dear John, I am sorry that Liberia has seen such
sadness. I know Africa very well and I can imagine what
your eyes have seen. I have visited Burkina Faso many times
and know every main road in the country. My colleagues in
Uganda and I have lived through 19 years of civil war in
the north with many atrocities being committed on their
doorsteps. On one night we lost a full one-third of our
group in a LRA massacre, one widow saw ten of her children
killed before her eyes. One of my team lost her life in
Cameroon, my daughter nearly died from malaria when she
was 7 years old but the Lord and Ugandan doctors saved her.
I have walked the refugee camps and crime ridden slums in
East Africa and have done all I can for a few hundreds of
the thousands of poor people in there. We encourage churches
and missions to send men, money and materials into Africa,
the continent is not as hopeless as many people say and
spiritually Africa is a world-leader in terms of people
turning to Jesus. By the way the very first module in the
School of Mission is ten lessons on evangelism, see them
here - do what they say and people will come to Jesus as
they are doing in Liberia.
Les Norman.
Book of Acts happening again
Over in India, Pastor Daniel says that the 33 men we helped
to send to the totally unreached villages have now all found
houses to stay in and have started visiting villages, conducting
open air meetings and started house meetings. Daniel told
me that people are getting saved and healed, that the book
of Acts is happening again and many embryo churches are
forming, and soon there will be baptisms.

Young people in Kenya pray, hospital
emptied
The city of Kakuma in northern Kenya is close to the Sudanese
border and known for it's large UN refugee camp, home of
100,000 people that fled south Sudan, Congo, Somalia and
Ethiopia. Daniel and Marlies Hoogteyling, a young missionary
couple from the Netherlands, started a church in Kakuma
to reach out to the young people from different tribes and
nations. Daniel reports:" Three weeks ago we took the
young people to the local hospital to pray for every patient
and for the staff. The next morning, when the doctor came
to check the patients, he found out that everyone except
for two people were completely healed, and he could release
them from hospital.

Maybe the children in poor areas will like to do something
for Christmas. I am sending you some Christmas drawings
and Christmas calendars, which they can colour and decorate
their homes.

The Magical Power Of Writing
In the movie Black Robe, a Jesuit missionary tries to persuade
a Huron chief to let him teach the tribe to read and write.
The chief sees no benefit to this practice of scratching
marks on paper until the Jesuit gives him a demonstration.
'Tell me something I do not know,' he says. The chief thinks
for a moment and replies, 'My woman's mother died in snow
last winter.' The Jesuit writes a sentence and walks a few
yards over to his colleague, who glances at it and then
says to the chief, 'Your mother-in-law died in a snowstorm?'
The chief jumps back in alarm. He has just encountered the
magical power of writing, which allows knowledge to leap
across space and travel in silence through symbols.
Phillip Yancey, Finding God
in Unexpected Places, page 48.
§ These days the Internet gives every budding writer
a page to write on. You'll also find a welcome in every
chat room and forum and you can meet a world of people,
some will like what you say and some will tell you what
they think. And then you can get talking.

A story from 1908 told by Billy
Graham
One of my earliest recollections is Daddy's attending
the Dilworth Methodist Church. As an eighteen-year-old
in 1908, he had driven his horse and buggy three miles
one Sunday night to attend an evangelistic meeting in
the one-room Butt's Chapel at the edge of Charlotte. This
was in spite of a friend's warning him, "If you don't
want to get religion, don't go in there." The way
my father told it, he had been out late to a dance the
night before and did not feel up to churchgoing on Sunday
morning. "I was under conviction from the time I
hit the door," he remembered. "Well, when the
preacher dismissed the congregation, I sat on. A couple
of members came back to me and wanted to know if they
could help me. I said, 'I don't know what's wrong with
me. I'm in bad shape.' They said, 'Come up and let us pray
with you.' They did, but I went on for about ten days
and nights, unable to eat or sleep. I cared nothing for
this world nor anything the world had to offer. I wanted
something that the world couldn't give, and I believed
that I would know it when I got it. That was what I was
looking for." The spiritual struggle went on for
days but finally as my father told it: "One night,
just as I turned onto Worthington Avenue, God saved me,
and my eyes were opened and old things passed away, and
all things became new. I will never forget that moonlit
night."
Billy Graham, telling the
story of his father's conversion.

Two Turkish Christians face 9 years
in prison
Hakan Tastan and Turan Topal are happy to share their
faith and invite people to attend Bible School by post.
They are accused of putting down the Turkish identity
and their trial is all over the press. They said, “We
have been arrested because we are Christians, we are not
forcing anyone to convert and if God allows it, we will
carry on declaring our faith”.

Uzbekistan fines believers and
burns Bibles
Following a raid on a church in Karshi, two visitors were
given massive fines of over 45 times the country's minimum
monthly salary each for participating in unregistered
religious worship, while four local church members were
given smaller fines. The court ordered Bibles and hymnbooks
to be burnt. Thirty police raided a Tashkent church one
member has so far been fined.

Russia has fastest growing rate
of AIDS
Swaziland and Botswana have infection rates of 40% to
50%. India has more infections than any other country
on earth and they're suffering from the same problem that
Africa has, that is no social safety net. 62% of those
infected are women, 3 to 4% of HIV is homosexuality driven.
Many AIDS victims are dying without Christ but many other
people alone die with Christ but with no fellowship with
other Christ followers. In all the tragedy there are great
opportunities to share Christ.
