Dear Outreacher:
PRAY!!! – Are you remembering our national leaders and Village Evangelists (VEs) to the Lord at 6:00 PM every day?????? Please do! – You will be joining hundreds around the World – all asking our Father-God for His leading, protection and provision!! Yes, PRAY!!! Remember: “The earnest prayers of a righteous man availeth much”. It is always very encouraging when other groups join with us to make the CDP process known in a broader way! We have enjoyed reading e-mail messages by: www.assistnews.net, a news agency that is both Christian and conservative – desiring to keep the “Church” informed and alert to new opportunities. Mr. Dan Wooding is the President and Editor, and has been good to us in placing a News Release, featuring our Global Network CDP, on their news network. – Early responses were from the USA and Beijing China! It is indeed a Global News Service. As time is hastening by – we see that the VEs are doing a great job – this even without adequate equipment – and perhaps because they don’t have equipment. Why without equipment? Well, in some areas, anything that smacks of “foreign” religion can be a huge turn-off. This is true since that makes the story of the Gospel not apply to them – isn’t for them. However, when a VE tells them the story that led him to the Savior, his witness is “true” since he is one of them! We are indeed blessed, especially as we see the VEs “doing it” despite the lack of equipments. Yet, multitudes, up into the millions are coming to Christ. But, lets say that time is short: then they need players and bikes to multiply their ministry outreach appropriately; although, if there is adequate time (say our Lord continues to delay His calling us to himself in the air) then, perhaps the normal growth process of 4:to:1 can provide the necessary outreach capability in the next few years. We obviously must wait on the Lord for any provisions! At his time, with the economic and political correct situations prevailing, we have a premonition that time may well be short – perhaps only a minimum time to complete the “GO YE” task. So, we PRAY, even as we work to complete the tasks ahead. desiring to finish well, for His Honor and Glory!!! -- Yes, we continue to PRAY for adequate funds to meet their equipment needs.
REPORTS FROM THE CDP GLOBAL NETWORK We are continuing to be blessed, even as old and new country operations continue to grow – reaching out to ever larger masses of those that before were ignored and forgotten souls! CDP2-Ivory Coast just started in early March, and after just a month they reported having over 260 VEs ready and willing to take the Gospel forward for the Lord Jesus Christ! They anticipate great things for the Ivory Coast (in French they call it: “Cote d’ Ivoire”). We are blessed as they are readily finding dedicated “born again” Villagers desiring to be VEs. PTL indeed!!! The coordinator there is Bishop Osagiede Godwin. He and his six member steering committee speak and write correctly five of the major languages. PTL these were ready to minister in CDP – having worked together for many years in general Evangelical Ministry. Yes, the Lord had them all setup -- all ready for CDP. Brother Godwin noted that the CDP is exactly the program needed to reach the remote villagers of Ivory Coast. He also sent their greetings and Praises to God for such a program and capability as CDP! CDP-Sierra Leone2 is in early stages of startup – where Evangelist J. Aaron Wright, of CDP-Liberia, has just recently completed travel there to help them get started. We expect to get more particulars in the near future. A Report from Ghana To God be the glory, great things He has done. We had a great time in the month of March 2009, we recorded total of 741 profession of faith from our three language groups in Ghana, with 124 baptism, and 410 people yet to make decision for Christ. Our leadership is busy with training leaders and planting churches where there is need for church. This year alone we already planted five churches; there is need for more churches but lack of funds to put iron roof on their place of meetings. Thank you for your prayers for the work here, God is good. My daughter is now doing okay. Keep on praying for the ministry here and needs such as bikes for village Evangelists and Bibles for the new churches. God bless you. Pastor Prince Paul Konu
CDP-China --- Prayer Needed We in the USA continue to experience problems with communications with our coordinators in China – so far have not been able to resolve just what the problem is. We would ask YOU to pray with us for a clear channel of communications that we might be able to maximize our help to them. At last report from them they indicated 7,500 VEs were ministering. --------------------------- CDP-India -- Pray Our partners in India, Galilean International, have broadened their base of outreach to include a “Media Leader Prayer Calendar” – seeking to bring Christ to leaders of India’s media. The following is a News Release placed via our friends at ASSIST News Service:
Friday,
March 14, 2008 MUMBAI, INDIA (ANS) -- India, the largest democracy in the world with nearly 1.2 billion population is the most visually literate -- thanks to the more than 900 three-hour long feature films made every year by the Indian film and entertainment industry. These films are exhibited in over 20, 000 theaters and multiplex drawing nearly 20 million viewers every week. 97 percent of the population is exposed to the idiot box that carries these films and film related products that have very high Television Rating Points. Most of them are the 'escapist' and 'soft-porn fare' that corrupts the body, mind and soul. "Media leaders and cultural influencers are responsible in shaping our society and need God's guidance and wisdom. Celebrities, television programs and the music industry that influence culture need our prayer," says Rev. Dr. C. D. Jebasingh, Founder & President of Galilean International. "As members of a pluralistic society that has strong religious traditions and beliefs, religion does play an important role in their lives. How else can they be drawn to a personal God who can save them to the uttermost? But their names are unknown to the praying Christians of India!" Now, according to a
news release, a new quarterly India Media Leader Prayer Calendar has
been launched by Galilean International Films & Television Services in
association with Mastermedia International Inc.
(www.galilean.org/pco/pc/Default.html)
. Galilean International Films & Television Services has its headquarters in Mumbai with a satellite office in Chennai and resource centers at Pune and Hyderabad. It has set up an International office at Toronto, Canada. For details please visit www.galilean.org Headquarters: 101 Topaz, Next to IMAX Dome, Bhakti Park, Mumbai 400 037; Phone: 022 2403 6813
PRAY with us that this added media activity will soon provide great visibility, vital support and vigorous outreach for the CDP in India, especially in the northern regions. Special Note: India’s Northern Regions are presently being studied by another team of vital leaders – led by a Pastor Simpson – they are already working in the Orality area of missions, so, it would appear they will just naturally fit into the CDP Global Network scheme of things! Pray specifically for our Lord to lead all parties concerned! We look forward to their working closely with Dr. Jebasingh and the Galileans to complete comprehensive demographics coverage of those vital areas of that great land! There are potentially about 400 precious souls in those regions that are otherwise essentially ignored and forgotten! Yet, so precious in His sight!!!
CDP-Nigeria’s Coordinator sent the following: Dearly beloved, I have just returned from the North, I must confess, what the Lord is doing is unexplainable,. the Lord has given us more open doors that through my going, three more States in the North with five Pastors as the leaders have been included; namely 1. Rev. Isaiah Uyong, 2. Rev, Danboyi Pajok, an indigen, 3. Evang. Bawa Jeta, indigen, Lamidi Sariki, indigen and Village head, and Pastor Udonsi. Our problems now are; 1. Equipments: because many of these Villages you do not go in with Bible, so the Ambassadors became most suitable for the Evangelization of those areas because for the one week I spent in those areas, they see the Ambassador as one listening to Radio. 2. Money; because even as I went last week, I spent more than $400.00 as I went through these states, and pass a night in each of the states. 3. Many of these people are very poor that some go without clothing. I also promise them of more Ambassadors and Bikes as soon as possible because the indigens are happy, like Lamidi Sariki who is a Village head, since he gave his life to Christ, really want his people to repent and has promised to be good instrument if supported. 4. The case of Brother Michael Okon and that of Late Bro. Mafor's son also gives us concern as they were to carry out the surgery today Monday and requested that we deposit at least two third of the money and we were only able to deposit $100.00, 5. That of Mafor's son, their final exams start from May 4, 2009.
We thank you all for your concern for souls -- our complete update will get to you soon. Your Brother, Evangelist Paul O. Mba
CDP Nigeria
IMPORTANT MESSAGE --- REPEATED TO STRESS URGENCY! We are aware of many things happening in our disturbed World: – Earthquakes, Wars, Pestilences, and general unrest – all heightened by the general economic free-fall that has been occurring here in the USA and over most of the developed countries. This all seems to heighten the expectancy for End-Time prophecies – leaving many with heads practicality spinning! It is easy to become 'fearful' as we try to work around related difficulties, realizing anew that our efforts with the Nations – to help reach their forgotten and ignored villagers with the Gospel – could very easily be cut-off by one or more of these situations. Actually, loss of funding, loss of electrical power, loss of ability to communicate (like loss of WEBSITE) – all places greater emphasis on our getting the task done by the end of next year or as soon thereafter as possible. Resting in His LOVE that casts out all fear, we are totally aware that our Father-God has it all ultimately in HIS control, even though Satan for this time has major influences in all of these situations. At any rate – our trust is in The Lord and His plan – empowering us within His command to “Go Ye to all the World”. HE IS ABLE!!! Remember – HE will not lose one of His own! It is for all of us to be aware of His leading and to do it!! – To be OBEDIENT TO HIM!!! ======================= DONATE --- On-Line: WEBSITE: www.me-intl.org
