Missionary Returns from Myanmar! RCMI
Several weeks ago we mentioned a young lady, 6 months old in the Lord,
who is from the Vision 510 Region. She attended a YWAM DTS and then went
for 5 weeks to Myanmar for her practical work. While there, she was
arrested twice. The second time she was held overnight. Her response? "
I can trust the Lord, I have no fear of what man can do to me. I want to
share his love with the people in my area, and beyond.?" Praise the Lord
for such faith!
For almost a year we have been trying to get hold of a book to help with
training in the countryside. It is a concise commentary of every book in
the bible. Last week we got a message that a bag of these were coming
for us! The day after their (RCMI) delivery to us Paul took them to the
hungry churches. Please pray for the materials we need to become
available.
Children in need of Jesus
During Paul's visit to the Churches he was stopped constantly to have
his temperature taken. He was in very remote places, but police and
doctors where everywhere, checking everyone. Especially people who had
gone into the area from this city. While great effort is being taken to
control SARS, it heightens our need for prayer covering as there is more
alertness to who is coming and going. Please pray for protection over
the churches, and those who are travelling in this area to preach the
gospel.
Please pray for the children in the Vision 510 region. They are poor
economically, and spiritually. Preaching to children is illegal, and
carries serious consequences. Pray for families to come to Jesus.

Concerns rise on eve of North Korea talks. WASHINGTON - As President Bush enters two weeks of intense diplomacy over disarming North Korea, U.S. and Asian officials say the nature of the threat it poses to the world has changed dramatically in recent years - and with it, so have the bitter arguments over how to prevent a starving, desperate nation from lashing out.

Sars in Bejing
Picture a large boulder being dropped into a pond—its rippling waves
radiating out in all directions. Picture the 14 million strong populous of
Beijing being hit with the disease and hysteria of SARS—its impact
affecting every household.
Surreal as it may seem, it is a living reality to those who walk the
streets of Beijing. Official decisions and actions in Beijing in recent
days have generated much hysteria throughout and many are fleeing the
city—taking their fears and potential infections with them. Once crowded
buses, subways and streets now stand unoccupied, small store and
restaurants vacant, supermarket shelves bare. Even in darken remote
alleyways and neighborhoods, untouched by media and newspaper, families take shelter behind their doors and face masks.
Fear of sickness, death, and panic have spread its dark fingers, taken
hold of and gripped the souls of millions in a matter of days. Just
imagine if the FEAR of the LORD—the fear of His flaming Glory, unlimited
supremacy, righteous anger, and extravagant mercy and love--would grip
just a few, how fast and how far would that spread?
* Pray that the fear of God and His glory might fall on the people of
Beijing like rain, covering the earth like water the sea (Hab 2:14) and
that the fear of death might be replaced by the fear of the Lord.
* Ask that God would grant Christians in this city and around the world a
measure of God’s glory in an amount that they can bear so that as mirrors
reflecting His glory they may boldly hold out the Word of Life to those
who are perishing and declare: “Do not fear. Do not let your hearts be
troubled. Jesus Christ alone gives you peace that the world cannot offer.
In this world you will have trouble, but take heart Jesus has overcome the
world!” (John 14:27, 16:33)
* Intercede for Christian brothers and sisters in China to ride the waves
of this pressing crisis and take the gospel to Beijing, to the peoples of
China and to the ends of the earth.
“Who will not FEAR you, O God, and bring glory to your name? For You alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous
acts have been revealed.” (Rev 15:4)
