Rolando Canazas, Peru says for me it is an honour to work with DCI through teaching the Great Commission, taking a practical gospel of love to people and training new leaders
to go to unreached peoples. I could never do this alone but only
with God's help and the love and prayer of you people around the world. Tell

A visitor in Bali, a 93% Hindu part of Indonesia says the Gospel is spreading strongly through friendship, economic empowerment, culture and
tourism. Christians have freedom but a Hindu loses his family if he decides to follow
Jesus so the churches here provide him a new place to live
and work, the pastors unity is impressive.

if you can't see what to
do remember it was the blind man who made himself vulnerable,
admitted his
weakness and was persistent that was healed by Jesus, our problem is
that we always want to be valued, respected

John Duco, Liberia
says we have 65 abandoned children at our school, we have made
uniforms for them but they need sponsors for a daily hot meal before
they return to the slums.
Henri
Nouwen
said that when we are not afraid to confess our own poverty, we will be
able to be with other people in theirs. The Christ who lives in our own
poverty recognizes the Christ who lives in other people's. Just as we
are inclined to ignore our own poverty, we are inclined to ignore
others. We prefer not to see people who are destitute, we do not like
to look at people who are deformed or disabled, we avoid talking about
people's pains and sorrows, we stay away from brokenness, helplessness,
and neediness. By this avoidance we can lose touch with the people
through whom God is manifested to us. But when we have discovered God
in our own poverty, we will lose our fear of the poor and go to them to
meet God. See part one on October 2nd.

Yoppi Margianto, Indonesia
says that our FRUIT and GO vision has seen twelve people join our
church in one week. Family, Revelation, Urgency, Intimacy and
Togetherness. FRUIT is our one year small group program using the
School of Mission materials with one leader and four disciples in each
group. The goal for each group is to multiply into five groups because
every member will GO to invite one new person every month to join the
group or church, so we could see up to 1,500 members in just one year.

David
Wilkerson, New York, USA
has a letter from a mother who says, “My daughter is 16, loves the
Lord, and is a joy to be around but she is in extreme pain 24
hours a day. I lost my son in 1997 due to the same pain." In the face
of everything, amid a relentless shaking of body and soul, this mother
and her daughter have put their hope in God’s Word to them. And He has
given them peace.

DCI
has never been a fund-raising organisation nor do we make appeals, send
out magazines or ask for offerings, rather we are a gathering point for
people who feel called to giving for the benefit of the last, the lost
and the least of the world. As Pastor Oswald Smith famously said in the
1930's, "If you can't go yourself, then for God's sake, send someone
else."

DCI Trust, serving the lost, the last and the least of the world. Since
1977 he has been following the call of Christ. He is married to Pilar
