Argentina Madness became a miracle Our neighbour was very ill following a stroke and nothing more could be done. It was very sad to see her unable to speak, see or eat. My husband and I went to pray for her and returned home convinced that the Lord was going to do something, which seemed to be madness. Three days later, to the overwhelming surprise of everyone, Luisa sat up on her bed, began to speak and asked for tea. All the glory is for Jesus.

Simon Wyckaert , Lille www.bibleaudio.tk Germany What is the state of the evangelicals? According to ex-political minister Hans Apel, the State Church has no future, except in the south because salaried employees who pay the for the Church through an additional tax are leaving because they don't want to pay thousands of Euros each year for the “nonsense” which many Bishops produce. "I consider this way of financing the church a sin," he said, calling on evangelicals to proclaim their faith. Jesus wants this nation back and for that to happen, Christians need to be courageous in approaching others. "We cannot expect the State Church to re-Christianise Germany." Apel left the church five years ago to protest against the blessing of homosexual partnerships.

The teachers salaries for the school where I am the Vice Principal also got burned. Now we are starting from zero again needing housing, clothes and food. We are very thankful to all the people who are praying on our behalf to the Lord for help and recovery. We do appreciate all that you have done thus far and thank God for those who are helping us materially in getting us some of those things that we lost in the fire. May the Lord bless you dearly.

Les and Pilar, the editors  Free Bible School Materials    Money Forum       India A harvest from your seeds We recently finished a 10 day Bible training program for 42 of our young pastors, 7 of whom were filled with Holy Spirit for the first time. I cannot forget that this pattern was introduced by you and it is so effective. Pastors and leaders are raised through this training program and some have started new churches. This was our 10th program in 9 years. Besides seeing miracles of healing and deliverance all of our financial needs were met. I remember the conversation we had on a train crossing India regarding starting a Bible School. That enlightened me and a vision was born. Pastor JJ, Central India www.hmcindia.org/ § JJ, That train trip was a Divine appointment for us both, it is great to see what the Lord is doing in Harvest Mission.

We give thanks from the bottom of our hearts for God's grace in Mauritania in spite of our heavy burden of sin. God’s work is developing here as He reveals new strongholds and new mission fields ready for harvest. He shows me where I need to go next. We have just started to plant new churches in the south among the Maures, Poulars and Sonikes peoples and God worked miracles. People came to know Jesus as their Saviour and we now want to start a Bible School in this area. The Poulars are mainly illiterate but learn by listening to audio tapes. Anon for security reasons. We are glad to have been able to provide a fast tape copier for this brave African man working in one of the world's most closed nations as far as the gospel in concerned.

Myanmar (Burma) Join Thailand to help Myanmar Myanmar has a long history of torture and persecution of the Chin people and others who have turned to Christ in huge numbers. More than a million ethnic minorities are hiding in the jungles, refugees are over the borders and 1,300 political prisoners are behind bars. Pastor Philip, 26, is trying to disciple primarily Animist people in Myanmar. His existing church for 30 people is rotten and falling down so we are going to help him build a new one of wood and brick for 100 people. We have $350 so far and need $4,500. Will you join us to help the Myanmar believers through this good young pastor.

Many souls accept Jesus Christ as their Saviour. Sick people were healed with the grace of our God in the name of Jesus Christ. I am once again thankful for your prayers. Pastor Rauf Swan,Voice of God Ministries, Pakistan Peru Ex-terrorist now leads worship Three years ago, the women from our ministry visited the high security prison for women jailed for terrorism. It is marvellous to see God's power transforming lives. For example, Lily became a new person and changed. She was pardoned and since leaving prison has been helping with worship and she works for a Christian firm. Lily plays the zampoña and the pan pipes well and wishes to play the flute or the saxophone so if anyone has one not being used we would be very glad to have it.

Pastor Emmanuel Gibson Ukraine Kiev church and bible school Our church is one and a half years old and we have 100 members in the centre of Kiev with a vision to bring the Word of God and His salvation to every family . Robert Senda, Pastor and Bible School director, Kiev. United States Do you believe that the harvest is plentiful? Do you believe that there are a lot of people just waiting for someone to present the Gospel to them? Do you have a fear that people won't want to receive Jesus if you step out to witness to them? We will only do what we believe. If we think that people won't want to become born-again, then we won't witness much, and even when we do it will be in fear and not in faith. Remember, that the devil is a liar. So, if Satan is telling you that no one will want to get saved, that means there are a lot of people who will receive salvation. If the devil tells you that it is difficult to witness, that means it must be easy. If he tells you that you can't, that must mean that you can. Jesus said, "Open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for the harvest."
