From the Director
January 2012
During the New Year holiday, we often contemplate resolutions and evaluate our priorities. While recently travelling to three countries in Africa, the Lord impressed upon my heart the priorities found in God’s Word to reach the lost, make disciples of Jesus Christ, and build His Church. In Uganda, the effects of rampant immorality and the breakdown of the family structure were visible and devastating. In Ghana it seemed everyone and everything was “Christian” in a religious sense but without Christ. Many businesses have Christian names, and the local people often converse in Christian terminology without any knowledge of the Gospel. Satan continues to blind the world with immorality, vain religion, and the prosperity “gospel”. In the new year, may we dedicate ourselves to skillfully and compassionately shining the light of the Gospel of the glory of Jesus Christ (2 Cor. 4:1-6).
Ministering to a World in need since 1990!
Field Focus
Emile & Dianne Barrouk - Israel
In recent months 15,000 refugees from Sudan and Eritrea (a small African nation) have travelled through Egypt into Israel. They sleep on the ground in a local park with no food, homes or jobs. Emile & Dianne Barrouk are partnering with a local church to provide meals, blankets, and Bibles. The refugees from Darfur speak an Arabic dialect that Emile is able to understand and share the Gospel with them.
