Hundreds healed, thousands decide for Jesus
Things have been happening big time in Thailand. I have been part
of 18 new lives coming to Christ during the last week and a half
by personel evangelism. I was also preaching in Aka village last
week and 9 gave their lives to Christ. Amazing. We just had a
healing and evangelistic campaign in town and I am excited to
tell you that during the last two days three thousand gave their
lives to Christ during this event and hundreds were healed. It
is like Christ is at work everywhere I look. People are giving
their lives to Christ like almost everyday.

Uganda School of Mission sows seeds to
live
Our 3rd session with 12 very committed poor rural pastors ended
very successfully. Peace has come, the ar is over and they can
go back to their villages each with a Banking for the Poor loan
of £6.50 to buy 2 bags each of sunflower seeds. After
3 months this sunflower will be ready for harverst and each
bag should produce seeds worth £58.00. They will pay back
£7.25 and the balance is for their food and for the course,
£6.50. This is the only hope thye have to fund their studies.

The side of Africa nobody likes . .
The BBC reports that a Pentecostal pastor left $55,000,000 and two fighting widows
after his death in a plane crash. Timothy Olufemi Akanni came
to the attention of the authorities after his two widows who
did not know about each other rowed about who should inherit
it. Assets include 23 bank accounts; shares in leading banks;
houses and land in the most sought-after parts of Lagos and
Abuja and a variety of motor vehicles. Mr Akanni, who was a
Pentecostal Church pastor in Abuja, was eulogised at his death
but the discovery of his second wife and a $55m fortune has
shocked many. Investigators discovered assets far greater than
his total legitimate earnings in life.

Mission school, banking and campaigns in
Indonesia
I imagine if only the churches practise discipleship like the
School of Mission then this world will soon be won. Next month,
we'll expand to reach factory labourers with new classes and
we also use your materials to teach 150 students from 10 schools.
We will be having a campaign on a housing estate where we have
rented a building but it is already too small for 100 people
who came to our Sunday meeting. This month we collected $110
from the Bank for the Poor ladies and we re-loaned it to several
carpenters who make doll houses. Almost everyday one or two
people come asking for a loan. We were very proud and joyful
to have our 9th wedding anniversary last month. With three kids
and several achievements we made for Jesus, we celebrate His
dwelling among our family, and his provision that never fails.

More dead than in all the world wars together
Forty-two million people live with AIDS and 20 million have
already died from AIDS leaving 14 million orhpans. New cases
of HIV/AIDS infections are 14,000 daily with 2,000 new cases
a day in children under 15. 15,000 children under 15 die every
year from AIDS and 33% of all pregnant women in Swaziland, Botswana,
South Africa have AIDS. This virus will kill more people over
the next 10 years then all the world wars and disasters of the
past 50 years and has reduced life expectancy in sub-Saharan
Africa from 62 years to 47 years and in some African countries,
up to half of all new mothers will die of AIDS.

Anyone else had a vision like this
?
I saw a kind of confidential meeting where 2 men were talking
to a group of 12 maybe 15 world leaders, all of whom were standing
up. There was one well dressed woman who seemed to be the German
prime minister. The men all were dressed in dark suits, white
shirts and discreet ties except for a man in front who was dressed
in a light colored suit. A black man was leading the meeting,
it was Kofi Anan, the UN secretary who then introduced the pale
suited man. I couldn’t see his face clearly but Mr Anan said
that he was introducing them to the man who will solve all the
world's problems. I had not been reading or thinking about the
end-times but this vision made my heart start racing I had to
leave my room to get my breath back. Has anyone else had this
kind of vision ?

Announcing changes to this page and this
website
It is in our hearts and minds, in prayer and in planning to
hand this Discipling The Nations website ministry over to a
next generation, to someone younger or more likely to a young
team with a passion and a vision for this kind of work and with
the gifting to develop it further. We think that how these pages
are designed, produced and hosted in the future should be their
decision. We plan to return to an Acts 6.3-4 commitment to prayer
and the word of God, whilst serving the new team from the background
in a consultancy role. Suggestions, ideas and volunteers from
anywhere in the world will be considered.

School of Mission graduates open 200 churches
We are deeply grateful to God, Dr. Les Norman and to DCI Trust
because we now have 35 Bible schools and a two-year Bible college
in Africa which regularly produce new workers for African mission
fields. At least 30% of our graduates planted new churches and
40% went back to serve in their churches. Around 200 churches
have been established by our graduates and once a church gets
established in an unreached area, the region is no longer unreached.
We must now open national bases in Nairobi, Kenya; Mbale, Uganda;
Lilongwe, Malawi; and Juba, Sudan at a cost of a few thousand
dollars each but we know we cannot put it off any longer because
the bases are needed for greater stability and to make this
ministry African, all from a vision a few years ago.

the researchers and scientists who are working hard to find a
vaccine or a cure for this terrible disease which gauses so much
suffering, death and grief in poor families all over the tropics.
Spiritual warfare on a global scale will help turn the tide against

How £70 makes a difference in Africa
Mme Pauline Sawadogo of Boulmiougou had a 75.000 CFA [£70]
loan from the Bank for the Poor to buy beans during the harvest
and sell them in town and at the same time she is making maize
flour to sell. She told me that now she is able to feed her
family very well and she is very happy. Mme Daboue Denise had
50.000 CFA [£45] and she is also very happy now because
she can look after her children very well. These ladies are
not widows but their husbands just do not care about the family
and leave everything to the women.

Argentinean passionate to do mission in
Falkland Islands
I want to ask you about the Falkland Islands, I'm trying to
get any kind of information but nobody has the anwers. How could
I start a christian mission in the Falklands, it's very hard
for me to go there because my nationality is not the best one
to be acepted by the Falkland Islands. Who can give me more
information ?
Luciano, 28, Pergamino, Argentina
® Lucinao, it is also hard for people
in the UK to get to the Falklands, tourists from here have to
go with the RAF or via Chile as and when they can. I have never
heard of anyone doing a mission in the Falklands. There are three
churches for the small population, see this
website for everything to do with the Falklands. I hope that
your nationality should not be a problem these days provided your
heart is humble and set to serve Christ. This website carries
an apology from years ago for the misguided war that the governments
of our two countries chose to have. I hope you find a way forward,
please keep us in touch with your news.

History written at Fitzroy Church, Belfast
It's the 25th anniversary of the Clonard-Fitzroy fellowship.
Clonard is one of the largest Catholic monasteries in Belfast
and a Catholic Archbishop and the Moderator of the Presbyterian
church are going to speak in the same service. The Clonard-Fitzroy
fellowship was awarded the Pax Christi prize in 1999 for the
work for peace and reconciliation in Northern Ireland.

Chile's magnificent response to India's
Dalits
It all began by the end of 2003, when the ship Logos II visited
Chile. As part of the crew, there was a man from India who shared
about the needs and challenges of one of the most populated
countries in the world. That is how we heard about the 3,330
million Dalits, who do not even belong to the caste system.
Christians all over the country have taken up the challenge
and have raised over $15,000 dollars for a centre in Mysore,
South India and to help build a centre in Secunderabad. We praise
God for the response, which shows that when we commit ourselves
to something and are sensitive to His calling and seize the
opportunities that Jesus presents us with, everything is possible.
