Final Command Action Manual
 

by Claude King, coauthor of Experiencing God: Knowing and Doing the Will of God
Before ascending into heaven Jesus gave one Final Command (Great Commission) to His disciples that He restated in a number of ways to assure that they would not forget. Yet today most of our church members have no involvement in making disciples or being His witnesses. This 112 page workbook provides seven steps to help every member find his or her place in the harvest fields and begin obeying the Final Command together with the rest of the Body of Christ. Leader's material is included for small groups or church-wide use. Mobilize your entire congregation for obedience to the Final Command.

2.    EL SALVADOR WOMEN'S PRAYER SUMMIT
 

>From: : irm@multnomah.edu

    *    "My testimony is something that I could only learn in this place.  God has touched my heart to be able to see the need of the other people and to be able to help in their spiritual life.  I was also able to discover something about my life in these days.  God dealt with part of my life that is to have a gentle spirit.  I was able to discover that many times I have not had this inside of me but now I ask God to bring to my life a gentle spirit."  

    *    "During the summit I have received much blessing from God, my life has been restored by His presence.  Then for me this word that I received that although I read little of the word of God, it always cleans me.  Another thing that impacted me is that we have to learn to listen to our Love.  My soul was healed and now I know that I am something precious to God.  And I thank God for you who brought the word and blessing."  

    *    "I was blind.  I had been so accustomed to the blessing of God that I could no longer esteem it, nor His care, nor His love, nor His presence.  I had come to the point where all I gave was by works.  In the moments that I have had alone with Him and listening to my sisters my eyes were opened newly to see how blessed I am and to contemplate and esteem Him. In the last months I have been so hurried that I had so little time to be with the Lord.  Today I am anxious to return home and live in a different
way."  

    *    "The Lord has helped my life in the sense that He has cleared my thoughts about who I am and what I mean to Him.  The writing of petitions since the first day of the meeting and unloading on the piece of paper what we were hoping God would do helped me have a clearer vision of what I hope God will do with me.  I feel lighter; the burden I was feeling in myself and a new hope or perspective of my life.  Thanks to Him."  

If you would like to receive specific updates about how to pray for IRM, please contact us at irmintercession@multnomah.edu.   We would love for you to be one of our intercessors.

From: "Marc van der Woude" <mvdwoude@xs4all.nl>

>From 9 to 18 May, from Ascension Day to Pentecost, over 28,000 Christians prayed for the Netherlands. The highlights:
- a start has been made to establish 'prayer altars' in all 500 cities and communities in the country;
- the lordship of Christ has been proclaimed from the four corners of the nation;
- the leaders of all political parties received a copy of Transformations II as a present of the Dutch prayer movement;
- a team of intercessors from Uganda prayed all over the nation and taught Christians to pray more passionately and effectively;
- the Parliamentary Elections of May 15 brought an overwhelming victory for the Christian Democrats, causing even more embarrassment to the liberal government.

    Eddie and I just returned from our fourth trip to Hong Kong.  Although Hong Kong has been a part of Mainland China since 1999, the strong will and industrious mindset of these people have kept them still on the cutting edge of what God wants to do through them for the nations.
     Eddie taught each day from 9:00-5:00 to over 100 pastors from Kowloon, Hong Kong Island, the New Territories and Lantau. But we also had participants from Pakistan, Singapore, Macau, and Uzbekistan. It was a thrill to see God teaching these key leaders about purpose-driven prayer, informed intercession, relational and city reaching strategies. Imagine their delight when Eddie introduced them to www.e-sword.net, the best free Bible-study and research software available on the Internet. We use it for our personal study and our writing and teaching. Not only did Eddie show them, using a video projector, how to use the program, but he provided them with the entire system complete with a Chinese language Bible. Our host then burned the program on CD’s and offered the pastors a free copy. The joy of the moment will be long remembered.
     Each night I taught the public. Many people experienced deliverance and new levels of personal  freedom. Around 12 people received Christ as their personal Savior. The week was fruitful and we were invited back for a fifth visit. Please pray with us that we will bless the nations.  Source: Alice Smith, U.S. Prayer Center

>Reply-To: "Religion Today Summaries" <newssummaries.UM.A.3.41962@lists.crosswalk.com>

(ASSIST News Service) -- Protestant Christians in Belarus on June 17 ended an intensive weekend of praying and fasting the adoption of a restrictive new religion bill in the former Soviet Republic. "If this law passes its second reading and is signed by the country's president, many of our congregations will run up against great difficulties in passing the obligatory re-registration," leaders of four denominations were quoted as saying by Keston News Service (KNS).

Bishop Nikolai Sinkovets of the Baptist Union, Bishop Sergei Khomich of the Pentecostal Union, Aleksandr Sakovich of the Full Gospel Association and Moisei Ostrovsky of the Adventist Church said the "law does not meet international norms." The bishops cited several articles as an attack on the area of freedom of conscience and religion. They supported the Minsk-based Freedom of Conscience Information Center, which urged believers to "pray at every service" and to hold "days of fasting" against the current version of the law on freedom of conscience and religious organizations.

KNS, which monitors religious persecution, said he draft of the religion bill includes a provision specifically recognizing the Orthodox Church as having a preeminent role. The draft law also requires that religious groups have to have had 10 registered religious congregations in 1982, at the height of Soviet restrictions on religion. Analysts say it appears that only the Orthodox, the Catholics and the main Jewish organization will thus be able to gain re-registration.  (By Stefan J. Bos)

>From: "John Robb" <John_Robb@wvi.org>

A number of prayer coordinators and some additional church leaders met with our team (in April) in Port au Prince to assess what has happened since last year's prayer initiative. We were encouraged to hear how the coordinators have continued to meet together every three months and are actively mobilizing and connecting believers from all denominations in their respective regions.

Indeed it was reported that the prayer movement that began with last year's initiative is the only ministry effort with the participation of diverse denominations that is still working in the nation! Before this initiative most Christian leaders did not work together. Reconciliation has occurred and now in many of the regions they have united to pray for the nation.

In one area, nearly 10,000 from different churches gathered in the city square and launched a prayer movement for their city. In other places, members of the upper class, including business and political people, have become interested, often with great zeal. One group went to President Aristide and asked for a national day of prayer. They have formed a national commission of prayer and are in the process of organizing for this purpose. Political people have become involved in this process as well.

A church leader who was attending last week's consultation and had not had prior involvement with the prayer initiative exclaimed: " I'm new but want to participate in the deliverance of Haiti by getting pastors together to pray!"

Let's rejoice that God is hearing our prayers and theirs. Here are some continuing prayer concerns:
1.    The economic situation is perilous? the cost of living is very high, no national economic plan, high unemployment, businesses closing down and afraid to invest, rural people not able to produce.
2.    The scourge of drugs and corruption? moral and cultural values of the society are being ruined. People don't feel guilty cheating and stealing in every social sphere including the church.
3.    Violence and crime? Chimere is a group of violent anarchists that carry out random acts of violence and kidnapping and sow constant fear in the people. Some think they are working for the current government. Agree with us that they will be dissolved and put out of operation.
4.    There is still a lack of trust between some church leaders making them unwilling to listen and submit to one another. Many lack commitment or heart to pray for a nation that has given them so little. They would rather immigrate if given the chance.
5.    World Vision and the prayer coordinators aim to establish a network of prayer cells throughout the nation until Haiti is transformed and becomes a "watered garden" (Isaiah 58:11). Pray for their ongoing encouragement, protection, continued unity and for the overcoming of the transportation and communication challenges they face in a nation where there is so little working infrastructure.

We have been reminded ... that "resurrection power works best in a graveyard." May the Haitian believers be filled with faith to experience this kind of power for the transformation of their land. Thanks for your prayers to this end.    John Robb

KATHMANDU (UCAN) -- A recent government census in Nepal shows that Christians comprise less than half a percent of the population, a figure disputed by some Christian leaders.

According to the census results, released April 17 by the Central Bureau of Statistics, Nepal's population as of mid-2001 was 23.1 million. Of these, 80.6 percent were Hindus, 10.7 were Buddhists and 4.2 percent were Muslims. Kirati hill tribe peoples comprised 3.6 percent while Christians were 0.45 percent of the population, according to the census.

However,  pastor Reverend Isu Jung Karki [the church at kathmandu] said the figure for Christians is too low. "This is not correct (and) I have written a letter of protest," he told UCA News. According to him, Christians comprise at least 2 percent of the population.
  
Pastor Simon Pandey, secretary of the National Churches Fellowship of Nepal, told UCA News April 19, "I believe that there are 500,000 Christians in Nepal today." Both pastors, however, admitted that most of the Christians in Nepal joined the faith only in the last 10 years. Monsignor Anthony Sharma, apostolic prefect of Nepal, cited Church statistics showing that there are 6,195 Catholics in Nepal.

Christians were not the only ones who were skeptical of the census figures. Muslims, who gathered April 20 for a program to discuss problems faced by the community, said that there are about 2.5 million Muslims in Nepal.

Monsignor Sharma also disagreed with the figure for Kirati people. Citing research done by local NGOs, he said tribals, including Kirati people, could account for up to half the country's population. A Nepal Jesuit researcher told UCA News that the recent census, like others, only produced "soft data." He argued, for instance, that the number of Buddhists is "certainly" more than 10 percent of Nepal's population.

Sudhir Rai, a journalist who is a Kirati, told UCA News that when the census was taken on his family, they were not asked for their religion  but were just ticked off as Hindus. Rai also claimed that many Kirati, like Christians, would say they were Hindus to avoid possible future discrimination. A spokesperson at the Central Bureau of Statistics told UCA News that data in some areas, namely in 12 mainly western districts, had to be estimated because of the Maoist insurgency there.

The census also gives figures for other religious minorities. Sikhs accounted for 0.03 percent of the population, Jains 0.02 percent and Bahais 0.01 percent. The census, taken 10 years after the previous one, indicated that Nepal's population was equally divided between males and females. There were some 4.2 million households, 14 percent of which are in urban areas. About 65 percent of the households used firewood for cooking. Only some 23 percent of the households had flush toilets and more than half did not have toilets at all. According to the census, Nepal's divorce rate was 0.12 percent and its literacy rate was 53 percent. Monsignor Sharma commented that the literacy rate indicates that the Church's mission is "well directed." Education is a primary concern of  the Catholic Church in Nepal.

A new prayer initiative calls on Christians around the world to pray for a total of one billion hours for Buddhists. "God loves all Buddhists," says the initiative, supported by major Evangelical intercessor movements. The aim of the intercession is "a true spiritual enlightenment and the salvation of many Buddhists, for a full revelation of the Creator God and his love for them, and for peace in the Buddhist nations. If 20 million Christians pray for Buddhists only 1 hour each week - 10 minutes each day - then we will reach one billion hours of prayer after only one year." The call is addressed not only to individual Christians, but also to house groups and whole churches. So far,
people have committed to over 50 million hours of prayer. Source and more information: http://www.billionhours.org

Members of a "forgotten" tribal group in a remote corner of the country have come to Christ after hearing the gospel fully for the first time.

Twenty people were saved when Bill Easter preached to some of those living in Supai village, on the Havasupai Indian Reservation in Arizona, near the Grand Canyon. At the second service he held, several people were healed, he told Assemblies of God (AG) News.

Set in a picturesque corner, surrounded by three waterfalls and towering cliffs, Supai is accessible only by foot, horseback or helicopter. Some of the 600 or so villagers had watched religious TV programs, but knew there was more they had to experience, said Easter, an AG Home Missionary. "[They] had been praying for God to send people down to share more about Christ."

After making contact, Easter held services at the local community center. Now some of the villagers want to have a permanent pastor and church, for which AG congregations in the district are helping raise money.

"I'm just so conscious of the fact that we spend a great deal of money and time going overseas to reach the lost there," said Arizona district superintendent Steve Harris. "My heart is just moved, this is almost a forgotten people when it comes to reaching them for the gospel."

A Liberian mission leader says his country is suffering greatly from more than ten years of civil war. Yet through the crisis his church planters have nearly doubled the number of congregations.
 
In a visit to Christian Aid headquarters last Wednesday, James Cuffee, director of the 2000-member Christ Evangelical Fellowship Ministries in Liberia, said that his country was spared further devastation by a united prayer gathering in February. Cuffee said that all the churches closed their doors for three days of fasting and prayer February 17-19. On the following Sunday, 75,000 people gathered in Monrovia's SKD Sports Stadium for united prayer. President Charles Taylor, members of his cabinet and foreign diplomats also attended.
 
"As we were praying, the presence of the Lord came down and filled the stadium," Cuffee said. "It touched the president, and he fell flat on his face on the platform and started crying out to God in a prayer of confession for himself and the nation. All the ministers on the platform joined in with weeping."
 
At the close of his prayer, Charles Taylor stood and said, "Today I am not the president of this nation. Jesus is the President. I've turned the country over to Jesus."
 
Within days government forces were able to drive rebel forces, which had advanced to within 20 miles of the capital, back toward Guinea 200 miles to the North.
 
Cuffee said that his country has had no electric service or piped water supply for ten years. "We all have to get our water from wells or streams," he said.
 
Civil war ravaged the country from 1990 to 1997 when Charles Taylor, one of the combatants, was elected by a landslide majority. Another group of rebels, allegedly from Guinea, have been fighting a low-level insurgency in the northern part of the country since 1999.
 
Cuffee said that in the wars his group experienced horrific hardship—his own house and six church buildings were destroyed, membership in his churches was reduced from 5200 to 2226, and his only vehicle was stolen. Through it all his church planters were able to plant six more churches. CEFM now has 14 churches, 24 pastors and other staff, and 12 church planters. It also runs two primary schools with 210 students--including 67 orphans or abandoned children. Twenty-seven are cared for at one church, and the rest are farmed out to individual families.
 
The civil war left 150,000 dead and another 150,000 homeless. Most of these are still living in displaced person centers, with 100,000 still in the Voice of America center in Monrovia.

>From: Friday Fax <FridayFax@DawnEurope.net>

The American mission agency GMI (Global Mapping) asked Patrick Johnstone, author of the recently updated prayer handbook 'Operation World', to list the seven most encouraging trends of the 1990's. This is his list:

Accelerated growth
In the 1990's, the Evangelical movement grew faster than ever before, according to our massive database of detailed research reaching back to the 1960's.

The AD2000 movement
The AD2000 movement was the most effective and best-targeted global network for promoting world mission which ever existed. It helped initiate church planting projects among unreached people groups, created synergy in the Body of Christ and was instrumental in the birth of many missions initiatives.

The Collapse of the Iron Curtain
The collapse of the Iron Curtain and the end of the USSR created completely new opportunities for mission in Central Asia. Brother Andrew's 1984 challenge to pray for 7 years for the fall of the Iron Curtain was taken up and, to the astonishment of an unbelieving church, fulfilled.

Thousands of Muslims Turn to Jesus
More than ever before, Muslims turned to Jesus: Northern African Berbers, Jordanians, Bosnians and Afghanis. In 1991, Brother Andrew called for ten years of prayer for the Islamic world to open to the gospel. The attack on the World Trade Center on 11th September 2001 could be a key moment for a divided Islamic world looking for an alternative belief system.

China's Christianity
Starting with only 4 million Christians in 1949, the Body of Christ in China grew to over 90 million in the year 2000. The development of truly indigenous forms of Christianity, despite growing persecution at the end of the 1990's, is one of the most important factors in 21st Century Christianity.

Church Growth in India
The astonishing and mostly undocumented growth of the church in India The official numbers (2.34% Christians in 1991) are far lower than the truth, deliberately hiding the true extent of Christianity in the nation. The true figures are certainly far more than double, and look like only the beginning. The 'untouchable' Dalits have started leaving Hinduism, which could lead to an immense growth of Indian churches.

Christian media's decisive contribution
Christian media have changed the faith and world view of millions. Significant examples are the Jesus Film, satellite television such as SAT7 in the Arab world, Christian radio in China and India and the explosive growth of interest in using the Internet for evangelisation and discipleship.
