My music and your poems for Jesus

I have one mission in life which is to serve the Lord as a channel. I am a singer and musician and I found Pilar’s beautiful poems, the co-founder of these pages. With her and her husband’s permission, I am putting music to the poems and my vision is to launch a special CD to take these words from God out into the world. Music opens doors. Pablo Zarza, 36, Córdoba, Unquillo § Pablo is a well-known singer and musician in Argentina. He already has CD’s in the shops and is used to singing before large audiences. Pilar’s poems are also very popular, in a tytpical month about 1,500 people downloaded the two free books of Christian poems from this web site. It would be marvellous that this poetry could be put to music by Pablo Zarza. So if you or your church would like to help to produce this CD please contact Pablo by e-mail He would be delighted to receive a message of support. Les and Pilar.

People from 198 nations join in prayer

Over 200 million believers from 198 nations took part in the Global Day of Prayer, held on Pentecost Sunday 4 June. Thousands of prayer meetings took place throughout the Americas from Canada to Chile but it was Africa and Asia that led the way with an estimated 40 million Africans praying in 53 countries. Believers in Taiwan asked God to bless not only their nation, but mainland China as well and they cried out for unity among all Chinese believers so they can fulfill their dream of preaching the Gospel throughout Asia and all the way back to Jerusalem. The biggest prayer meeting ever continues with '90 days of Blessing' where churches will begin doing good works in their communities, and putting feet to their faith.

Honduras

Just imagine! The devil used a preacher . .

Last week, to my surprise, a Pastor from the USA came to me. He had been lost and fallen for 7 years, immersed in the filth of the world, drowning in alcohol. Can you imagine it? When I asked him why he had abandoned Christ for so long, he told me that it was 7 years since he had last served the Lord by preaching the gospel in a park. When he finished, a minister approached him and told him he had been very good, but that he should not be serving the Lord while his own house was in disarray as his two sons were not saved. The brother who visited me told me that since then he felt discouraged and distanced himself from God and his ministry. How terrible! Imagine! That night in the park the devil used another preacher to take the sweet taste of victory from his mouth and to sow in this servant’s heart the thought that there was no point in serving the Lord if his sons had not been converted. How terrible! As if God did not have all the time in the world to gather the family in. Sadly, this pastor opted for listening to another person rather than building his faith on God’s promise of salvation for his sons. This made me realise how much devastating power our words possess if we do not speak in line with the Scriptures. How painful it is that instead of our words being a source of support for others, we make them stumbling blocks instead. Praise God because He gave this man the burden to come and be restored. With tears in his eyes he repented and committed himself to eternally serve Jesus. How important it is to be mature and self-controlled. How wonderful it is that we decide that our lips will only speak words of encouragement. How blessed we will be if we choose to only see what is good in others and stop judging them. Let’s give our best to God and our neighbour. Pastor Ana Aviles, San Pedro Sula.

Mozambique

Jesus heals, delivers and raises from the dead

A lady in Mozambique had been full of demons and was told by her witch doctor to eat her family! She was severely sick and could not sleep. She would cut her arm and drink her own blood. When she came to church one of the Christians hugged her and prayed she would know the love of Jesus. Then one of the pastors visited her and burned all her witch doctor fetishes, and almost immediately she was freed and filled with the peace of Jesus. This morning her face was beaming with love, and instead of eating her family, they have become her friends! Another lady had been very ill with acute asthma for ten years. Her husband was sure she was a prostitute, and was going to divorce her. Recently she came to a church, completey demonized. She was healed of asthma and set free instantly by prayer and a hug filled with the love of Jesus. Her husband was amazed by her transformation, although he continued to drink and fly into crazy rages. One day he had a demonic fit and died. After he was pronounced dead at the hospital his wife began to pray in Jesus' name. In a little over an hour he was raised from the dead - and came straight to the church to ask Jesus into his heart!

Pakistan

800 people at Toba Tack Gospel Convention

There was a great move of the Holy Spirit and about 16 were healed and 22 came forward to give their lives to Christ. Most believers in Pakistan are very poor and thousands of new believers have no Bible so they find it hard to grow in their faith and develop relationship with Christ. One Urdu Bible cost 1.8 US$ in Pakistan. Dr. Muqaddam Zia, Faisalabad.

Peru

19 children die of cold in villages 5,000 meters up.

In these places the temperature has dropped to minus 20º C and it has been forecast that it will reach -30 º C by mid-June. The situation of the children and the elderly in Puno is heartbreaking. The land dried up and the livestock is dying. The outlook is bleak. The main problem is hunger; children and elderly don’t get enough calories to fight off the respiratory diseases and they have no warm clothes, footwear, socks or hats. Those already sick need medicines. They can get access to medical care, but there are no medicines. They need urgent humanitarian aid - medicine, warm clothes and food. Victoria Gomez Diaz, 50, Lima http://www.vickygomezshalom.web.com.co

Come with me to the Aguaruna and Huambisa

They live on the banks of the river Santiago in the Peruvian rainforest. The Lord sent me to the area to make some contacts and now I have a Christian education plan so that these natives may know of the love of God and feel sure about their salvation. If anyone or their church wants to get involved with me, please contact: Rolando Canazas Pérez, Lima

The good, the bad and the ugly of foreign missionaries . . .

I have seen it and it's time to speak out. This is for everyone that wants to know how it feels to have missionaries sent to him. Joel News summarized hNuno Barreto's unconventional advice for people who want to go into missions: 1. Skip Bible school; instead learn how to plant churches in real-life. 2. Engage with the culture, but dare to be authentically foreign; don't imitate the locals. 3. Count the cost and learn the language. 4. Get a job that helps you meet lots of people, and join a club. 5. Forget about targets and 5-year plans; get a (family) life. 6. Resist the temptation of forming a holy bubble with other missionaries. 7. Beware of support with strings attached; stay financially free to be able to move with God. 8. When you plant a church, don't stay on as a pastor; your best gift to the church is to move on. Nuno Barreto. Website and blog From Marc’s Messages at Joel News

Teachers needed to educate orphans and vulnerable.

The problem is that with the increase of the number of children more teachers are needed. We do it as volunteers and we need like minded people to come to our rescue. Pastor Claud Zimba, 31, Lusaka.

The Last Word For Today

Do you need a miracle ?

Read the story of Jesus turning water into wine. Notice what Mary said to the attendants at the wedding reception: "'Do whatever Jesus tells you." Do it, even though: 1. You're not in the right place. They were at a wedding, not a church, when Jesus performed this miracle. Some of our greatest blessings will be at other places if we'll just be sensitive and obedient to God. 2. You've got a lot of problems. They'd run out of wine for their guests. How embarrassing. Too often our problems drive us away from Jesus instead of to Him. Miracles begin when we focus on God's power, instead of our problems. 3. You're not being encouraged. When Mary turned to Jesus for help, He tested her faith saying, 'Dear woman, why do you involve Me? My time has not yet come' (John 2.4 NIV). But she passed the test. Instead of being discouraged, Mary laid hold of the possibility of a miracle, believed God and received one. 4. You haven't walked with Christ very long. The servants who obeyed Jesus had just met Him. And His disciples had just started following Him. Yet they were all expected to obey Him. So are you. 5. You haven't yet seen Him work miracles in your life. This was Jesus' first miracle. They had to obey Him without the faith that comes from a previous track record. That's always challenging. 6. You don't understand the process. Why pour water into empty containers? Answer: Give Jesus what you've got and He'll give you back what you need. That's how to experience the miraculous!
