Dear Outreacher:   

• Time is certainly hastening on – have you noticed? The end of 2010 AD seems to be screaming for attention.

• You do remember that 2010 AD is our target completion date – yes, our ETA (Estimated Time to Arrive)!

• It is the date that all of our 145 plus Nations expect to have reached out to all their own villagers with the Gospel via the Cassette Discipleship Program (CDP). SELAH!!!

• They include over 3-Billion villagers that are otherwise ignored, forgotten and LOST!

• Today, early in 2006 AD, we are experiencing dramatic growth – the direct result of our Father-God’s empowering Nationals..

• Indeed, the pace is picking up – we are seeing increased interest -- increased diligence and determination!

• All are looking to on-the-job training with three candidate Village Evangelists (VEs) for each active VE – paced by CDP-Ghana’s successes).

• India is challenging their Northern reaches – planning soon to initiate eight Outposts of 20 VEs there growth-

• Acceleration of progress is truly exponential, seeking to maintain the 4-to-1 growth per each 6-month period experienced by Ghana in reaching their 16 Outposts (in Tier 3).

• THEREFORE – we can expect our Father-God to touch many lives and pocket-books – bringing in the needed funds for equipment to meet this great challenge.

• REMEMBER – we and they are all volunteers – only needing equipments to allow their progress to grow exponent
 

     • 2004 AD -- Saw our to meet this great challenge.
• total VEs ministering at about 300 (India and Ghana)
     • 2005 AD – Ended the year with about 1,200 VEs ministering (India, Ghana and the rest of the 145 countries)
• 2006 AD – This year, seeking to grow to 4,800 VEs (240 Outposts) ministering throughout the World.
     • 2007 AD – (Next year) – desire to be to 19,200 VEs (960 Outposts).
• 2008 AD -- and so –
     • 2009 AD -- it can grow towards the goal
• 2010 AD -- of reaching out to all the Nations villagers.
     • YES, time is running out – and even prophetic pressures are becoming more evident by the day!
• How much time do we have? – we don’t know yet, but indications are that the 2010 AD CDP target is realistic based upon prominent prophetic estimates – believing Jesus into and through the End-Time.
====================================
We want to punctuate the above challenging statements – providing below some poignant and timely observations and testimonies form a few of our CDP leaders:

• FROM PASTOR PRINCE PAUL KONU OF CDP-GHANA, AFRICA:

          1. We had a breakthrough for the work in the North East area of Ghana.    There is a problem regarding the translation since I do not understand or speak the language. Therefore I must stay with them for almost a month now and we still have work on one language. Hopefully by the end of this month or early next month we will be through and ready to get on with the next language.
 

2.      Expenses were high due to travel, food and lodging.  Already to over $500.00 and I want to help with the support of those doing the translation as well.  NOTE:  WE WERE ABLE TO SEND Pastor Paul $600.00 to help with these needs.

3.      Pastor Paul said: “So good to be able to supply our VEs with the 240 cassette players – it was great joy for them to lay hand on their own player.  One VE said: “I can now walk in the Masters footsteps”.  Last month alone there were 854 professions of Faith recorded out of 1421 people contacted with the Gospel. We also recorded 110 baptisms.  We would appreciate having quantities of Bibles to give out. The demand is great.

4.      We need your prayers.  Please give our best regards to everyone!========================================

· FROM EVANGELIST  J. AARON WRIGHT OF CDP-LIBERIA, AFRICA:         

 1.      We had sent funds for 20 bicycles for the VEs, however, the funds only covered for 15 bikes.  We were able then to send the needed funds for five more bikes to allow all their VEs to have much needed transportation. Pray for our ability to get funds to them – the banks are not always too reliable!

 2.      Good news – they have received a request form Liberia’s largest county – Lofa County – where the county authorities having heard of CDP have requested t hat we move over there in 2006 AD.  The people are hungry for the Gospel – coming very recently from a devastating war situation.

 3.      Evangelist Wright notes his serious need for a 4WD Jeep to allow him to effectively coordinated the growing CDP efforts there in Liberia.

 ·        FROM EVANGELIST PAUL O. MBA,  OF CDP-NIGERIA

 1.      “Reaching out to over 10 Million villagers, needing to cover about five main languages,  we thank you all for your vision of soul winning. We also pray that God who gave the vision should sustain it. Also, want to thank the donors for sacrificing their resources for the salvation of Man.  May the great God bless you all in Jesus name”.

 2.      “Beloved”, he continues, “We can not  enumerate all that the Lord is doing here through CDP. It is truly great! Souls are giving their lives to God. Miracles are taking place. Last year we held two crusades as one of our special efforts to see souls come to Christ”.

3.      “Presently we have 25 VEs ministering, and training of the full Outpost is complete for Northern Nigeria”.

4.      “We have only three bikes that are shared and 15 Tape Players”.  Hopefully, we will be able to send t hem funds for move players and bikes soon.

5.      “Master tapes are completed for the Mbembe language and translation of the Hausa language is completed and part of the Lobo language is also translated”. 

6.      “Our VEs have also distributed a lot of materials, and have been promised financial help to enable them to meet their personal needs – most of the VEs do not have other jobs.

NOTE: We must faithfully hold these dear ones close to His Throne of Grace – yes, PRAY!!!

=================================================

·        FROM DR. JEBASINGH OF CDP- INDIA

1.      Jeba reports t hat we can soon  expect a comprehensive plan for their establishment of CDP in the North of India  -- eight new Outposts are needed!

2.      They are expecting to move the present southern Outposts to an improved ‘local’ support capability soon – this allowing better management and support  situations.

 ·        FROM OUR BROTHERS IN CDP-CHINA

1.      “Thank you for all you did in our lives this last year”!

2.      “We pray the good Lord will grant you with long life and all your hearts desires so that th is coming year will be a glorious year”.

3.      “We will be meeting the end of January to designate our representative for the CDP CONVOCATION  2006 – we pray the Lord will grant him both passport and visa.”

4.      “All CDP processes are moving forward very well. All leaders and VEs are excited to be a part of such a strong program of outreach to the lost”.

• FROM THE CHALLENGES OF CDP-AFRICA

   

  1. “May God Almighty grant you joy and peace as we celebrate the birth of His Son, Jesus Christ the Lord”.
  2. “We are working on the Mini-Cassette for the digital player (Ambassador) prototype presentation.”
  3. “We are having many opportunities to share the ministry of CDP – South African Missiology Society as well as encourage our brethren from South Africa and Zimbabwe – my ticket \is bought by the organizer.
  4. “Will also present a paper at the George Whitfield College) postgraduate skills seminar, starting Wednesday 25 January 2006.  This is another opportunity for us to present CDP to many other leaders.”
  5. NOTE: BOTH  TIMON AND MAMA are scheduled to be here for the CDP CONVOCATION 2006 AD.

NOTE: WE ATTEMPT TO  BRING YOU THE LATEST UPDATES AS WE RECEIVE THEM – HOWEVER, REALISTICALLY,  BOTH WE AND THEY ARE ‘HUMAN’ AND WE EITHER DON’T ALWAYS RECEIVE INPUTS IN TIME TO INCLUDE, OR, WE JUST GET ‘BURIED’ AND DON’T GET THE  INFORMATION TO YOU AS WE WOULD LIKE.  PRAY FOR US TOO!

Lest we forget – time is short!
