This is just like the book of Acts . .
but today ! |
People meet daily in
their houses for prayer. They tell of dreams and visions, and
experience healing and deliverance. Ex-terrorists and spirit
healers accept Jesus as their Lord. Churches are formed. This
is not an excerpt from Acts, but is happening today among the
Kabyls in North-east Algeria. New Christian churches are forming
all over and so far, they have been able to resist denominational
influences and foreign leadership. Many people hear the gospel
through Christian radio and television programmes. Source: OM

We are training a new
generation to serve God in three ministry training schools:
Music and Prophetic Worship; Bible Studies; and Evangelism and
Missions. The Lord is raising a different generation within
this generation, a generation of worshippers, evangelists, prophets,
teachers, pastors, and apostles, who will lead the next and
final awakening. The Lord is recruiting His army. Join us.

Wife dies but husband
saved from AIDS |
When we got to the
region, as we were encouraging the brother in charge, he told
us he was waiting for us because the Lord had revealed our coming
to a brother who had been fasting and praying for 2 weeks. This
brother met the Master 2 years ago when as a farmer he suddenly
discovered that his wife had HIV. He knew he will die and a
month later he met our coordinator who spent a whole day praying
with him after he received Jesus. Two month later he went for
an AIDS test and it was negative. After his wife died he decided
to look for the person who introduced him to the Master and
for that he travelled 1500 kms by bicycle. As he was praying
the Lord told him he would soon receive equipping to go back
to his village to introduce them to Christ. We gave him transport
fare and he left for his village.

Inviting West African
churches . . |
We have been working
in West Africa for 12 years, teaching in churches often using
the DCI lessons, which has been a special blessing. Churches
in Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Mali and Togo are welcome to join
us as "partner-churches. We specially welcome Ghana churches
as it will be our main goal to share the G12 vision with them
and to help them to multiply. Our vision is for more partner-churches;
more local offices for our Bible School and a strong network
of churches to multiply His Kingdom. Some churches are already
praying and fasting for next years program which includes our
Sports for All projects.

Over 700 dead in
Quetzaltenango |
A lot of people is
suffering because they have lost everything. All the roads are
blocked and the gasoline has finished, it has been raining all
the week, day and night. Markets are completely empty, you can
see the fear in people's faces as I have never seen before.
They need clothes, food and furniture, they have lost their
houses. As God's people we must show His love in this time to
all who don't know Him. El Salvador has suffered too.

Aid for Guatemala and El Salvador |
We are witnessing with
growing distress all the terrible hurricanes, floods and earthquakes
as a fulfilment of the end time prophecies before the return
of Jesus. On the other hand these events are used by God to
touch a multitude of souls, who are calling out for His help
in such tragic situations. Nevertheless we cannot stand by with
arms folded, justifying ourselves by saying that the world is
reaping what it deserves because we need to act, like good Samaritans,
like authentic sons of God. We need to reach out with compassion
and solidarity to the thousands of suffering people, especially
the most vulnerable women, children and old people. We are sending
relief by emergency cargo to Guatemala and El Salvador where
the flood disaster has been devastating. Our missionaries are
faithfully distributing aid without wasting even one cent of
the money. We are also filling two 40 foot containers with all
kinds of aid and you can help us if you wish.

How is it possible
that pastors
leave the pulpit to become politicians? |
There is a move on
here with many pastors running for Congress. So great is their
desire to make it in the Parliament that they are opening the
doors of their churches and pastors associations to non-Christian
politicians who then tell lies to the people of God from the
pulpits. One pastor, who is a good friend of mine, got so carried
away with the idea of becoming a Member of Parliament that he
lost his church. Other pastors gave up their license because
the government disqualified them from both roles. Could you
believe that some pastors think they can change this country
through politics? This is startling; how can anyone be a politician
and lead a ministry at the same time, when they are already
so hard-pressed to serve the Lord in their full-time ministries?
It is true that Christians are different from those who do not
know God, and glory be to Him for those lay Christians who in
God's call aspire to be elected into the national congress and
present bills to fight corruption. However, these are ministers
with the five-fold giftings giving up their callings for to
earn the huge sums of money that being a congressman can provide?
Why are pastors craving to make a name in the world? It is sad.
Is it that perhaps that they do not understand that there is
no higher call nor privilege than to be an ambassador of God
on Earth?

GFA team goes from
India into Pakistan |
As you may know, a
major earthquake hit Jammu & Kashmir and hundreds were killed.
Our GFA Bible college in Jammu was severely damaged but we think
that all of our 50 missionaries in the affected areas are safe.
A GFA relief team of 13 went to Srinigar, Kashmir to take much-needed
food, water, clothing and Christ's love to those who are suffering
and now we permission to go over into Pakistan. We grieve that
so many have lost their lives but trust that the Lord will provide
an open door for the Good News to enter with power as never
before.

He's the Lamb but
He's also the Lion |
The recent attacks
in Dagestan, Chechnya, Beslan, Ingushetia and Nalchik, should
cause us to think: Over 2000 years have elapsed since Jesus
Christ first came into this world and people have grown accustomed
to thinking of Christ as the gentle Shepherd or as the Lamb
of God. However, we learn in Revelation 5:5-6 that the gentle
Lamb of God is identical to the Lion of the tribe of Judah!
The time is coming when the justice side of God's character
will trump the mercy side, as God brings judgment on humanity
for our rebellion against Him. The world will be astonished
when the Lamb transforms into the Lion, and yet many will still
refuse to repent, preferring to blaspheme God. (Rev.16) World
events are rapidly changing, and it appears that the final wrap-up
of human history may be at hand. Among the signs of Christ's
Second Coming are nationalistic ethnic uprisings, famines, plagues
and earthquakes, blaming and hating Christians for these calamities,
a huge increase in evil that will cause love to grow cold and
the commercialization of religion that cripples genuine agape-love.

I have discovered I am a missionary. . . |
I just received a moving
report about a church in Brazil, which although only 250-member
strong, has over 20 missionaries! This has moved me deeply and
the Lord revealed to me that I am also His missionary, and that
that is why I have been living in Spain for over 20 years. That
is why I became a Christian at a Brazilian-based congregation,
and was discipled by a Brazilian woman, even though I am from
Argentina. Now I know the purpose for my life and the mission
God has planned for me. I made a covenant to be faithful to
the call and serve the Lord by serving others who need to know
His word. I encourage other men and women who live away from
their own countries to understand it is not by chance that they
are in new lands. You must only need to know that the Lord has
a great purpose for your lives: go and preach the Gospel to
every creature. May God reveal it to you as He graciously did
for me.

North-South Jihad
still going on |
Whilst we were there,
there were attacks on two South Sudanese towns near the Uganda
border by the Lords Resistance Army who are suspected of being
sponsored by the North Sudanese government to carry out these
attacks. There is real fear that the peace will not last, and
of not having enough soldiers to respond if required. The Bishop
also talked about an organisation called the Children of Peace
who apparently are targeting war orphaned children and offering
them the education for which everyone is so desperate. The intention
seems to be to replant these indoctrinated children back into
their communities as a base for terrorism. Sudan is still very
unstable, living conditions are extremely basic and there is
little infrastructure. Witchcraft is part of everyday life and
most people we met are into polygamy, including Christians,
as much of the church is first generation.

Dreams and visions
evening unlocks the call |
The Lord wants to unlock
the dreams and visions that he’s already placed in peoples’
hearts about how he would like them to serve the Kingdom. In
many cases, people have disqualified themselves, as they can’t
see how to bring it to birth. We had testimonies from people
who have heard that call and said ‘yes’, and we compared Zechariah
and Mary in Luke 1. Both had angelic visitations, both were
told something impossible in human terms, and both asked the
question ‘How?’, but their heart responses were very different.
We gave people a key with a blank label on which they wrote
what they would like to unlock. We then prayed and prophesied
over them, and we wait to see what will happen now.
Margaret Wendels.
http://www.riversidechurch.org.uk
§ Hi Margaret, When we had our Bible
school a few years ago, one of the most popular sessions was
called, "Tell me your vision." We took this from the story of
Joseph and the students had to wrestle with the Proverb that
says, "the heart of man is deep waters, but the man of understanding
draws them out." It was always so, so surprising just what the
Lord had placed in the hearts of people who are hardly dared
to believe what they were saying themselves, yet years later
many have already accomplished their visions and have moved
even further onwards.

On our way to the Maori |
In January, my wife
three daughters and twin boys, due to arrive in approx. 4 weeks
are leaving for New Zealand to settle in Whangerei and gain
training and cultural perspective on the Maori people who are
leaving the Christian faith and being led by elders who are
distorting the truth. We feel God's call to plant new churches
to reach those who are straying and do not know God's truth.
With very little we rely on God's provision.

Government expels
missionaries |
The Venezuelan Government
has given orders to expel New Tribes Missions, an evangelical
agency with native people and serving to humanitarian needs
in rainforest lands in my country. There are plans to expel
other missionary groups and to restrict activities by local
evangelical churches.

New Tribes Mission expelled from the country |
This is a US evangelical
mission, which the President of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, considers
as an agent of the CIA. The President said that he had recently
received a report that some evangelical groups obtain sensitive
and strategic information and exploit aboriginal peoples. “They
have set up plants for solar energy, electricity, radio stations,
well-maintained runaways where planes coming from abroad land
by-pass custom, in places where people live in dire poverty”,
Chavez commented. The Venezuelan leader mentioned that the expulsion
is irrevocable.

Could
you recommend a missions magazine? I am looking for youth
missions activities for next summer, I am also looking for
a missions radio station – do you know of any? I would also
like to learn Arabic, but I could not find where.
Oscar Ceratt, Neuquen, Argentina
§ Hi Oscar, I am sorry but we do
not know of any general magazine in Spanish, except those
published by mission agencies that report on their own projects.
For summer activities, contact YWAM, Wycliffe, Horizon or
Operation Mobilisation or other agencies which work in your
country? You can also get in touch with Claudia
Bustamante COMIBAM’s co-ordinator in your country. There
are many Christian radio stations. Try a search in Google
then it will be a matter of contacting them. To learn Arabic,
there are many courses available in tapes, videos or books.
You might find a course in a local university or you could
look for a family of immigrants who are willing to teach you
their language, and you can teach them yours and make friends
with them at the same time.
How
can I find out more about the mission ships.
