Who knows how to make footwear?

Does anyone have any information about training modules or courses on footwear manufacturing? My church is thinking of training low-income people in this and other skills.

Bolivia

After 23 years ministry in Santa Cruz.

The Lord is sending us to Puerto Supe in Peru where there are no evangelical churches. We will plant a church and open a health centre there. Thank you for your free studies. I am teaching them to our leaders so that they can get a vision about missions.

Cesar y Grace Cubas, Santa Cruz

What would happen if . . .

All the believers in South America fasted for 24 hours or for as long as the Lord tells us for revival in our countries?  I think that there are many ready to fast and pray for this.

Special Report
How do you send money?
I am praying to go to Venezuela and serve there. There are people interested in supporting us  in Argentina and Spain. How can they send money in a secure and cheap way?

Claudio Da Souza, Buenos Aires, Argentina

§ Hello Claudio. Here are the ways I use and if anyone knows of more and better ways, please let us know because for the missionary community this is an important issue.  
Les, the editor.

1. By insured, registered post

In the UK and Europe and in other countries as well, you can send cheques or cash by an International Signed For service. Ask at your local post office. Costs are very low, it takes 7/10 days to reach anywhere in the world. We have never had any problems except with Cuba and then the Post Office immediately returned the money to us. When we sent it again, the envelope arrived safely.

 

2. By electronic bank transfer

There are costs and fees. In theory it should work instantly and perfectly but this is not always so. Sometimes the beneficiary has a major problem to persuade his overseas bank that a transfer has arrived and some banks en-route divert the foreign currency into their own trading accounts and take up to six weeks to produce the money, one bank in Uganda took 6 months.

 

3. Western Union or Moneygram

100% secure, instant, guaranteed and works every time. The fees are quite high but I recommend them, despite the costs.

 

4. By Credit Card

We use the USA Ebay’s PayPal service which gives a secure transaction, very fast and almost free. You and the beneficiary have to open a free account with them linked to your credit card and to his bank. The whole transaction is handled on-line. Ikobo is a new untested service that sends out  bank ATM cards to collect the funds, for which they charge an initial fee.

If anyone would like to experiment we will gladly volunteer as the guinea-pigs to receive your gifts.  Seriously, we hope this information helps to create a flow of resources around the earth.  
Les and Pilar, the editors.

Cuba
The Lord provides day after day

I am doing a course on transcultural missions. Day after day God provides me with all I need for my training and when He decides I will go to the mission field to serve Him.

What God did in India

Sometimes I preached in exclusively Hindu neighborhoods, and once my platform was set up next to a Hindu temple. After the four hour service, during which the people in the temple listened, they came to me, asked for prayer and gave their lives to Jesus. Many of them experienced healing, right there in the middle of the street. The people sat like sardines piled on top of one another, and when the altar call was made about 300 people stood in the presence of friends and family and accepted the Lord. I didn't preach religion, I simply told them about Jesus, prayed with them and left the rest up to the Holy Spirit.

Starting a Bible School at last . .

I tell you because you have been praying for a piece of land for us and your editor, Les Norman was the first one to initiate a short term Bible training programme  in our organization. Now we see it blossom. I just returned from the eastern states. We had three days convention at a remote village. Nearly 100 people gave their heart to Jesus. At another location 7 obeyed the water baptism. We hope to add three more children's homes this year and we have planted one more church in the west coast of India.

Ichthoos Bible College . .

Trains 70 young people who are too poor to even buy Bibles, to reach the unreached of Andhra Pradesh. We welcome used theology, Biblical study and mission books. We have 120 congregations with only 20 buildings, and a home for 52 boys. Every day is a day of testing faith but the Lord has been faithful in granting our needs.

B.Vijay Paul, Gudiwada, A.P. India

 

Italy

Missionaries are welcome . .

Missionaries to Italy seriously need to have full financial and prayer support from their home nation and church, be humble, willing to learn the language properly at a language school and be willing to submit to Italian local church leaders. There have been too many missionaries coming and wanting to do their own thing. We need humble servants, willing to learn the Italian culture and language and do things the Italian way. Now, after reading this if the Lord leads you, pray and investigate more.

Nigeria.

No medium more powerful than TV
With the Nigeria population of 120 million, our goal is to get the Word of God into every home.I will like to receive training in the use of modern mass media to reach the unreached either through television or cable/satellite. Who can recommend organisations that can help.

When people are a Living Bible

Last year a married couple were killed when their car was hit by a lorry. In court both families said that they didn't want to see the lorry driver behind bars because of the accident. They said that they forgave him. The sister of one of the victims even embraced the driver after sentence was passed.  The police, the prosecutors, the lawyers and even the Judge praised both families for their "dignified Christian attitude". In these days many people frown upon anything "Christian" but on a day like this where else will you find such an attitude and behaviour ?

We pray for everyone at DCI . .

We are pastoring a church in Tambo de Mora and hold several prayer services during the week. We have committed ourselves to pray and intercede for all the DCI team. Another way of showing our support is to let you know that you will be more than welcome here, we can accommodate up to 40 people.

Luis Navarro and Flor de Maria Polo, Chincha - Ica

§ Luis and Flor, you have our sincere gratitude.  Over here in the UK, if we see four or five in our prayer meetings we are glad, so when churches in Latin America with all their passion and faith get behind us we feel encouraged and strengthened. God bless you all.
Les and Pilar.

Russia

Hundreds of pastors in Moscow

It's being called one of the most significant gatherings of church leaders from 15 former Soviet nations. The conference featured reports from country leaders. Some regions are seeing incredible openness, but others are no as there are increasing challenges, requirements, registrations and restrictions on evangelism. In some of the Islamic nations it's even worse. Pastors and church planters are facing outright threats and persecution. One pastor said, "Brothers, we thought we had more time."
