Will the real God please stand up !
The God that different religions and sects worship, is He
the same as the God and Father who we worship and adore? Is the God that
Catholics worship the same one that the Christians worship? Is the God that an
alcoholic, a prostitute or a sinner cries out to when in need the same God we
pray to ? Is the god that the tribal peoples in the jungles and mountains worship,
despite their ignorance of the Bible, the same God as ours? I say No, he is not
- but please help us with this as this has become a source of misunderstandings
and problems with other brothers and sisters.
Rocio Toapanta, Antwerp.
§ Rocío, what a mess you are
getting into here ! I don’t think there is one simple yes or no answer to this
one, in fact there are already many books written with differing opinions about
who is the God of the Judeo-Christian-Islamic faiths, especially Allah. What is
very clear is that neither the Hindu gods, nor the gods of the tribal animists,
nor the spirits of ancestors are the God of the Bible. It is our mandate to present the gospel of Christ to these people -
Romans 10.13.
People trapped in bad
lifestyles and gripped by habits are another matter altogether. I have
personally seen hundreds of people like this call out to the God they did not
know and receive His love and salvation in the name in Jesus. I am one of them
from 27 years ago. Many others are now church leaders.
I am certain that very
many Catholics pray to the God of the Bible, they love Him and follow Christ
according to the light and traditions they have received. Modern Catholic
priests are very capable of preaching Jesus and many do so to big crowds.
Equally there are people in Protestant churches that follow the denomination’s
rules but have never personally met Jesus. I wonder which god they worship?

Discipleship a world phenomenon
Les, You may be surprised to know that the vision you fought
for most of your life, discipleship, is becoming a world phenomenon. Nine
Burkinabe church leaders took part in the historic birth of a World Conference on Discipleship
in Ibadan, Nigeria. I led the team, five of whom are from our AEAD School of
Disciples. We will plan a national conference for September in Boulmiougou.
Philippe Ouedraogo, Ouagadougou

§ Thank you Philippe, the fact is
that after 25 years I still have not seen any better and more cost-effective
method of training leaders than the discipleship model that Jesus and Paul
used, summed up in 2 Timothy 2.2. Your friend since
1984,
Les.

We continue the works of Jesus
After prayer we see the hand of God every day, we baptize
new members but we need men of God coming to help us, to comfort theirs
hearts. We continue to call people to
come, our door is open for the Gospel. Do not afraid to come God is near and
everything is in his hand.

Soldiers going church to church
The situation in the nation has become unstable, not
politically, but for the churches. The
minister of the Interior, himself a church leader has issued a decree to close
all churches that do not conform to certain characteristics he has
determined. There are soldiers going
from church to church at this time closing any who do not have the required
documents. This situation is causing much heartache among Christians. The opposition is not coming from the
growing Muslim population, but from within the church. It is hard to understand the motivation, but
the roots will probably be to do with jealousy and control.

Thank you for helping me to send 445 kids to schools with
new uniforms, umbrellas, books, pens and pencils. 200 are the children of
native pastors, 100 are from the Railway Slum, 25 from Kachery Slum and 120
children from the village churches. We had a wonderful service in church and 13
people committed their lives to the Lord. Two families who were on the point to
commit suicide came church. The Spirit of the Lord revealed their
condition and they accepted Jesus and
committed their life to Him.

Baby girls still being killed . .
We have baby girls dropped at our door step since the mother
doesn't want the child to be murdered and have many girls in our orphanages needing
sponsors. Female infanticide has accounted for millions of deaths throughout history. It
remains a critical concern in a number of countries today, notably China and
India. It is a brutal and destructive anti-female bias closely linked to sex
selective abortion which targets female foetuses. Let me e-mail you a well
researched report.

News from Papua - Irian Jaya.
Papua is the largest island in Indonesia to have a majority
Christian/catholic people but the native people live in jungle and mountains
with minimum facilities, only MAF fly as mission. Nine years ago we opened a
free AIM boarding school for 300 native children focussing on education and
health. Indonesia has 220 million people, the majority are Moslem. Next July we
elect a new president and need prayer.

Liberia
Largest gathering in nation’s history
We had already seen 125,000 people respond to follow Christ
but on the 5th day the crowd kept growing and growing with maybe 100,000
people. By the Spirit of God I prophesied life and a national revival and a
fresh release of God’s blessing. I declared that nothing short of the breath of
God could change them, but I never got to finish my message or give the altar
call. Suddenly the people burst through the ropes in the tens of thousands for
salvation and to have God breathe fresh life into them. They cried out saying, ‘God, come into my
life! Forgive my sins! Breathe Your Spirit into me!’ Suddenly the crowd began
to shout as deaf people signalled they were healed, a crippled man began to
walk, then blind eyes were opened. After 14 years of war and unbelievable
suffering that had literally taken their breath and hope away, Liberia will now
surely see a nation wide move of God.

Are you working with children ?
I have worked here for 8 years, with children, and
train teachers of Christian education. I would like to get in touch with ladies with a missionary call for children. My prayer is for a shelter
for abandoned girls. Many of them have been abused, and we don't have a place
to take them to.

Risking a trip into the Sudan
We have sold our piece of land since we needed money to send
our children to school and to cover all the expenses for this mission. Our
major aim of going to Sudan is to witness to our brothers who are suffering
like us in Uganda. They need Jesus the only hope for humanity. Pray with us so
that as we go through rebel territory in Sudan.

100 years since Welsh Revival
I have been looking with awe at how many places were touched
by this move of God: Korea, India, China, Japan, South Africa, Latin America
and the South Seas are some of the places.
And yet even that was not the full extent of God's purpose. The First World War was Satan's great
countermeasure to the flood of the Spirit and so many Christian young men died
in each other's gun sites. However the purposes of the Lord are never
thwarted. Our sin and disobedience can
delay them, as Israel was delayed for a generation before they could enter
their inheritance. Still, His purpose
is like a stream, running beneath the surface, waiting for the song of faith to
say, "Spring up O Well".
