Marvellous, excellent and historical . .

So said the chairman of the Disabled in Lira and " This was the most real Christmas party which I have ever been to", said a Member of Parliament. We had over 450 men, women and children who are beggars, blind, lame, paralysed, orphaned, with AIDS, and we had as  guests of honour the blind lepers who brought the presence of our Lord Jesus who was born for such a people, the hopeless and downcast people in the community. All the radio stations made us the main news land the news papers are publishing what happened. The name of the Lord has been lifted in Lira more than before. It was much more better than holding the biggest crusade in Lira.

Pastor George Purkweri, Lira.

 

§ To see where George is living and working go this page from the BBC which sadly is not pleasant reading. In the next edition we will carry a full report with photos of the World Christmas Party for the Poorest in Argentina, Burkina Faso, India, Peru and Uganda. Don't be surprised if you are moved to tears, we were !

December - 4,650 in 5 villages hear Gospel.

We showed the Jesus Film and 280 accepted Jesus as Lord and Saviour. These are largely Muslim and animist remote villages where literacy is very low. A  church is under construction in Keleguem and will have adult literacy programs. We hope to open 21 literacy centres providing education and the Gospel for 30 people each over 40 days using Biblical teaching material.

Church stolen at Christmas

On 23 December the new owners of a Methodist church in Moscow violently and with the use of force evicted Pastor Kim-Jun-Kyu, his family including two young children, and other church officials without even giving them time to dress before throwing them onto the cold street at 7am. Church members contacted the police, who sealed the building so the church held a Christmas service on the street, and will be holding another street service this Sunday. The violence was accompanied by nationalistic expressions and crude insults towards Protestants, and a leader has called for a special night of prayer.

Spain

Total confidence in uncertainty . .

Today, I look at the future with uncertainty towards the unknown, but with total confidence that God's presence in my life and ministry is more real than ever. Today, more than ever, I pray  that the Glory of God may fall upon Spain and transform my people. May they know in a real way the great miracle of a new life in Christ. I am strengthened by the truth that God is drawing His people to Christ and that He has a clear purpose and destiny for my life. Today I commit myself to give even up to my last breath to raise the banner of Christ in all the nations for there is no more valuable thing than surrendering our lives for Him who gave His for us.

Need Kurdish Bible for new Christian.

He is a refugee from Iraq and his face lit up when he saw the Bible on line. This is a Ukrainian speaking area and he said he hasn't read anything Kurdish in over a year. I can pay for postage or what ever it takes.  His wife doesn't read anything but Kurdish and is still Muslim.

Humour forgotten in Christian ministry?

Leslie Flynn's classic book first published in 1960 shows the therapeutic role of humour in mental and physical and is highly relevant. Not many  understand the biblical mandate to use humour and fail to see the humour that is embedded into the vast majority of the books of the Bible. This is tragic, because humour is a way of smuggling truth past people's defences into their hearts. This book is free on this page

Jesus in The Passion film . .

Jim Caviezel, a devout Catholic who plays the role of Jesus in the film, is convinced that it was the Holy Spirit who led him to play the role. "It is important for me to portray Jesus' character as God intends," he says. "Mel Gibson shows the violence of the events so realistically that some will not be able to look, and will leave, believe me. But many will stay, and will gradually realise the whole truth." "In a world in which pretty much everyone is at each others' throats, this film has a good and very up-to-date message, one of faith, hope, love and forgiveness which will touch people very profoundly, and change them. "I believe that there is no better message than the one contained in this film," says Mel Gibson.
