1. CHENNAI PRAYER SUMMIT
>From: "Tim & Karol Svoboda" <tks61@yahoo.com>
Chennai Net started back in the mid 90’s after several of us as leaders divided
the city into 12 zones. The idea was to have pastor fellowships in all 12 zones
since the city is so big and one fellowship was just to difficult to operate.
That is still going on. September 17 to 20th 2003 there will be the first
Chennai Prayer Summit with about 60 to 100 pastors attending. It will be
coordinated by Rev. Tom White the author of City Wide Prayer Movements. Jack
Dennison is also involved in helping with the follow up from City Reach
International. Chennai Net is slowly dissolving and we are hoping that in the
Prayer Summit a new leadership team will emerge that can give overall direction
to the effort of City Reaching for Chennai.
Prayer Summit in India are new and have successfully been held in Mumbai and
Bhopal last year and now being held this year in Mumbai and Chennai. The
networks in India are quite new and loose so things are developing and slowly
moving forward.
We would appreciate your prayers for these prayer summits as we believe they are
a key to help us come together in a much deeper way to build functional unity
that can lead to corporate planning together in our cities.

Greetings in the precious Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. This report
covers events since February to August 2003.
DISCET was asked to coordinate the historic 1st Sierra Leone Ministers Prayer
Network Conference from Wednesday 30th July to Saturday 2nd August 2003. At the
invitation of the International Coordinator, Rev. Mosy Madugba of Nigeria, the
DISCET Board under the chairmanship of Rev. D. H. Caulker agreed at its
Sixteenth Meeting on 27th February 2003 that DISCET should coordinate and
facilitate the activities for the Conference.
The remarkable conference started with a little over 600 participants on
Wednesday 30th July, and then the momentum grew as by word of mouth others were
told of the outstanding teachings and fellowship. By Saturday night the over
1000 seats provided were full to capacity. Many participants came in for the
morning sessions starting at 9:00 a.m. and stayed on till the end of the evening
sessions which sometimes went on till after 10:00 p.m. and on the last after
11:00 p.m.
The comments on the conference were in superlatives. Many said it was the best
conference they had ever attended. Many testified that they had learned things
at the conference that they never knew before.
We are very grateful for the inspiring message given by the Founder and
International Director of the Ministers Prayer Network, Rev. Mosy Madugba from
Nigeria. We are also very grateful for the inspiring messages and ministries
given by all the speakers, namely,
Rev. Mosy Madugba (Nigeria), Mrs Gloria Madugba (Nigeria), Rev. Sylvanus O.
Ugwuibe (Nigeria),Rev. (Mrs) Christian Jireh (Nigeria) Rev. Francis Mambu
(Sierra Leone) and Rev. Canon Modupe Taylor- Pearce (Sierra Leone).
The Sierra Leone Ministers Prayer Network was formerly
launched on Saturday, August 2, 2003. At the follow up meeting held on Saturday
9th August 2003, Ministers of various denominations eagerly attended and we
agreed to meet once a month on the last Saturday of each month, starting on
Saturday 27th September, at the Christians in Action Church, Pademba Road, from
2:00p.m.
A directory of Ministers in Sierra Leone was formerly
launched at the opening ceremony on Wednesday 30th July. It is expected to be
finalized for sale by December 2003.
Indeed this visitation by God through His servants will be remembered throughout
history. The team from Nigeria demonstrated the Two Hand Gospel Principle by
caring for both the spiritual and physical needs of Sierra Leoneans through
baggage of relief materials sent to us, which is yet to be distributed.
The Lord meet every financial need at every step at a time. To him be glory for
ever and ever. Amen.

--->NPPNote: Your
participation in this initiative fights the crisis in Africa, gives your home
team a global vision, and helps support the work of the NPPN!
The HIV/AIDS crisis has been described as the worst
humanitarian crisis of our time and perhaps of history. The pandemic has been
described by Nelson Mandela as a “war on humanity.” It has been described as the
“black plague” of the 21st Century. It has been described as “9-11 occurring
every day.” It has been described as the elephant in the room – no longer can it
be ignored.
However you chose to describe it the fact remains that every day 6000 people die
of AIDS or AIDS related diseases. However you want to classify the pandemic the
fact remains that every 14 seconds another child is orphaned by AIDS. In
whatever way government chooses to respond nations stand on the brink of
economic and social collapse due to the ravages of the pandemic. And, the truth
is that the crisis will only grow larger over the next ten to twenty years.
Mostly in Sub-Saharan Africa but elsewhere as well.
The statistics are staggering when you stop to consider the ravages of this
global pandemic. To date over 25 million have succumbed to this modern day
plague. Another 40 million are infected. Over 14 million children have been
orphaned and that number will grow by another 25 million in the next ten years.
Prevalence rates in several nations exceed 30% with some nations over 40% of the
adult population infected. And, as you probably know while retroviral drugs can
extend and improve the quality of life there remains no cure.
That assumes the available of these drugs which in most developing countries
simply is not an option.Little can be done for those who are suffering from this
scourge. Once contradicted HIV becomes full blown AIDS in a matter of a few to
several years. Weakened by the effects of HIV adults cannot continue to work to
feed and house their families. Children leave school to tend to sick father and
mothers. When parent’s dies orphans are left vulnerable and face a life of
despair and hopelessness.
While the situation seems insurmountable and beyond hope, Christians are called
to respond with the love of the Father. Sadly, though too few have responded.
George Barna reported in the Spring of 2002 that only 2% of Evangelical would
respond to this issue. This is an apparent paradox for those who are called to
comfort the comfortless, give shelter to the homeless, feed the hungry and take
care of the widow and orphans. (see James 1:27) There is a generation to save!
Fortunately, an awakening is taking place in the Church seemingly prompted by
the fact that President Bush, in his 2003 State of the Union made this issue a
matter of national concern. That evening, on January 28th, President Bush stated
“ladies and gentlemen, seldom has history given us a greater opportunity to do
so much for so many.” Since that time several initiatives have been launched to
stimulate the Body of Christ to action.
One such an initiative is called the Hope Network. This unique network is
designed to mobilize churches and pastor network to respond together for maximum
impact. Based on the premise that we can do more together than we can apart; the
Hope Network partners’ communities here with communities there for holistic
ministry. The purpose of this partnership is community transformation on both
sides.
The Hope Network is a collaborative initiative of several leading Christian
organizations including World Vision, Concerts of Prayer Greater New York, and
CitiReach International. The Mission America Coalition has also endorsed this
new initiative for its mission of bringing the whole church together in a city
around this issue. The Hope Network provides a unique opportunity for churches
to partner together in a way that has not been done before. The vision of the
Hope Network is “mobilizing the Church to respond to the HIV/AIDS crisis toward
creating an epidemic of compassion.”
“Communities of churches have done concerts, outreaches and crusades. What we
are saying to the Church is here is away way for you to partner together in
holistic ministry, in a systemic process for community transformation. We
believe that when a whole community comes together around this issue we will see
God move in a powerful way. Not just in Africa but right here at home as well.
In fact, we have already seen this begin to happen” states Brian Considine who
is serving as the National Coordinator of the Hope Network.
The National Pastors Prayer Network supports the work of the Hope Network and is
encouraging its pastors networks to learn more and consider getting involved.
More information is available online at www.thehopenetwork.net. Network and
church toolkits, including a powerful video and PowerPoint presentation, are
available for network leaders to present to their networks and for pastors. When
you request this kit be sure to indicate that the NPPN referred you.
The challenge before the Church is tremendous and the opportunity is great. God
does promise in Isaiah 58 that when we spend ourselves on behalf of those Jesus
called the “least of these” our light will rise and our prayers will be
answered. That is our hope!

(Herbal/Traditional Medicine)
I see them as Satan's ladder to the Church
"Do not be yoked together with the unbelievers .. what fellowship can light have
with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14-15. Over the past five years in Nigeria the
most advertised and fast selling Medicine is Herbal/Traditional Medicine. Many
people are out on streets looking for these people and their products. Even some
gospel ministers are deeply involved in this medication for their members. These
Herbal doctors claim to have solution to several diseases even so call deadly
ones without any surgical operation. And since mode of presentation are almost
frees, cheap or on credit sales many people are deceived into it. They make
their Victims to see strange things or make them unconscious as soon as they
step their shrine. The research and interviews have shown that many practices of
these herbal medicine and doctors have a very close link with traditional
religion and idol worship. However some of the denied any linkage with idol
worship. The strongest claim of these doctors is the ability to cure where
western medicine fails. They deceived people into bondage by taking advantage
of their conditions and many a time send thousands into their graves untimely.
Why People Go To Them.
Research also reveals why people go to them.
Poverty: Attack of sickness and diseases but without money to seek adequate care
in the modern hospital and health centers are responsible. Free surgical
operation programme of two states Governments (Oyo State and Osun State) in the
last republic showed that people don't have enough to seek adequate medical care
in Nigeria.
The Yorubas/African believe that all problems must come from somewhere. This
often leads to curiosity to know whom their enemies are which western medicine
could not answer but they believe traditional doctors can provide an answer by
consulting their idols. Therefore they go to them.
The Belief that some sickness are spiritual attack and that conventional
medicine cannot cure them. Therefore some seek solutions from these doctors.
Prayer Requests
Thank God for His revelation on these doctors and their products/works in
Nigeria
Pray-that God will take care of the spirits behind the problem adequately as he
uses His servants to expose their services.
That God should touch the Government of Nigeria to provide good and adequate
medical care for the people.
Pray that Gospel ministers (Deliverance/Prayer ministers) will dedicate their
lives and ministries to God, to use their opportunity to heal people who are
under their attack
That God may prepare and raise churches in Nigeria to assist the sick members to
seek genuine medical assistance if they cannot afford the payment on their own.
(Matt. 25:33ff).
Pray for me and all members of our ministries for grace as we face the
challenges in our dear country Nigeria,
God bless as we keep on supporting His Kingdom

I leave Sept 17 for China, Cambodia and Singapore, gone 16 days. The pastors
school I will be teaching in is illegal in China and had to be moved two months
ago. The pastors that are attending are risking a lot; I will be in trouble if
the police find the school again, but they will be in more trouble. This school
will be during the dates of Sept 29-Oct 2. One of our coworkers, involved with
an unregistered orphanage in another province of China, reports that the
authorities recently moved in, closed the orphanage and took all the kids away.
I am taking several duffel bags of kids clothes to some orphanages in Cambodia
(along with training 100 pastors in how to read, study, interpret and enjoy the
Word) and am praying for favor with United Airlines so I can get it all in
without paying a lot for shipping. If I don't get that open door, the
overweight luggage is pretty expensive.
Airfare/visa costs for this trip: $1,527 Already supplied: $1,300 So we are
only a few hundred dollars from the goal. (A Hispanic brother here in our area
just gave $500 for airfare, and his church gave $611 for Bibles for China! Out
of a church of only around 35 people). I know that prayer is where the action
is. Thanks, intercessors, Mark Simpson
--->NPPNote:
Mark informs me that all costs have now been covered but I wanted you to see the
testimony of how God used a small in number but big in faith congregation to
reach across the globe!

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA (ANS) -- Hunter Harvest03 with Greg Laurie, commenced on
Thursday, September 11, with 5,700 in a packed-out Newcastle (New South Wales)
Entertainment Center (which only accommodates 5,000) and an overflow meeting in
the adjoining Exhibition Center. The program included The Hillsong Music Team,
led by Worship Pastor, Darlene Zschech; guitarist Steve Grace; soloist and Dove
Award winner, Crystal Lewis - and Mel Gibson. (Pictured: The crowd on opening
night).
Prior to the official launch, 10,000 postcards had been mailed from Greg
Laurie's church in California. The Chairman of Hunter Harvest, Rev. Kevin
Warner, said that the postcards were sent to randomly selected addresses in the
region. As a result, many came along for the opening night who had never been to
a church meeting before. (Pictured: Greg Laurie speaking on the opening night).
A team of 40 High School students arrived from California a day or so ahead of
the event. This was the "SWAT" Team - "Students With A Testimony". They went out
into the highways and byways, inviting students and members of the community to
come along. The team had paid their own expenses, such was their keenness to
participate in this outreach in Newcastle.
Newcastle, is Australia's sixth largest city, with a population of 137,307.
Located on the Central Coast of New South Wales, 117km (72 miles) north of
Sydney, the area is recognized as an industrial region. There has been massive
unemployment with industries closing down. Unemployment and stress in families
is common place.
In preparation for Hunter Harvest03, 250 churches teamed up to work together, to
provide personnel for counseling, ushering and outreach.
Pastor and Founder of Harvest Christian Fellowship, Riverside, CA, Greg Laurie
(50) is heard on Harvest Ministry's national USA radio program, "A New
Beginning" and is the featured host of a youth-oriented television program,
"Day7@Harvest" showing in the USA. He has written 19 books, dealing with
evangelism, discipleship and church growth.
During his opening address at Hunter Harvest03, Laurie graphically described
what the Lord Jesus went through, during his crucifixion, to pay the penalty for
sin.
"I had never seen a film that adequately portrayed that scene and the
suffering," said Laurie, "until I attended a special screening for church
leaders and representatives of Mel Gibson's forthcoming film, 'The Passion.'"
Laurie said he asked the actor if a segment of the film could be shown at Hunter
Harvest in Australia. Gibson not only agreed, but recorded an introduction to
the segment, greeting the Australian audience, which led into a four minutes
preview depicting the crucifixion scene. The film said it all!
As the lights came up on the packed Entertainment Center and the overflow
meeting, the message of the Cross had been portrayed in word and film. The
appeal given by Laurie resulted in 338 inquirers streaming forward for
counseling and spiritual help.
Outside the venue, workers serving on the various resource stands huddled
together in prayer. Nobody inquired about church backgrounds or localities, they
were joined together in outreach through Hunter Harvest03 and the Lord's
servant, Greg Laurie.
As evangelist Dr Billy Graham said in Atlanta, in 1994: "The media have been
writing Greg Laurie up as the man who is going to be the evangelist of the
future - and he is."
This was the first night. The meetings continue until Sunday evening, when it is
hoped that churches will arrange for their congregations to attend the closing
rally en masse.
As people pray around the world for Greg Laurie, his team and the spiritual
harvest, Hunter Harvest03 has given a city's population the opportunity to hear
and see what God has done for them, as never before.

Dear Pastor Phil Miglioratti,
Greetings from India.
About our meetings. we had meetings pastors meetings in SHAHAV,Ahamadnager
CNI. CHURCH. around 120 Pastors came for this meetings. Main theme for this
meetings was how can you improve your ministry and prayer life. Rev.Dr. Paul
Varghese was teaching from his experience. We had many Pastors meetings but this
was very good meetings we never see the pastors crying and confessing their sins
and looking to God for their needs and made a decision to work together. Many
Pastors came forward to prayer and spiritual growth. All the pastors made a
decision to meet every month for prayer and sharing their work. Pastors made
decision not to work the same place where there is same mission is working. We
are planing to have big pastors meeting in December 26th to 28th 2003. We expect
300 pastors for this meetings.
We believe in coming days we can reach our land with gospel.
I can do all things through Christ which strengthneth me. Philippians 4.19

MANILA, THE PHILIPPINES (ANS) -- Missionaries like John Edmiston,
an Australian missionary based in Manila, are using the Internet to enter closed
countries that conventional missions find difficult to reach.
Edmiston has found 43 nations that are most suitable for cybermissions as a main
missionary strategy because they have a sufficient number of users and are
places with persecution or other restrictions on mission.
These include places like Brunei, China and India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei,
Vietnam, Turkey, Russia, Japan, Oman, Cuba, Thailand and Bahrain, Egypt,
Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Saudi Arabia. China with 45.8 million Internet users
(Nielsen survey) is a massive harvest field open to cybermissions.
"Apparently a country needs only to have a few thousand users for cybermissions
to start making a difference," Edmiston said.
"In these cases the missionary seeks out a 'man of peace' -- someone seeking the
Lord, who is connected to the Internet and who is often a leader or a person of
influence.
"Once this person is contacted and becomes a Christian they can download
material and spread the gospel in their land. A group of twenty or thirty good
online contacts in a given people group can then form the basis for a
house-church and the start of a church-planting movement. This can all be done
from the relative safety of the missionaries' home base and integrated with more
conventional approaches."
Edmiston has been online since 1991 with Australian BibleNet, the Prayer Page,
Eternity Online Magazine, the Asian Internet Bible Institute and now
Cybermissions.Org (
www.cybermissions.org ) which aims to be a web portal supporting
cybermissionaries and web evangelists with articles, forums, blogs and a 12 week
online training course Training In Cybermissions.
Cybermissions.Org can be found at
http://www.cybermissions.org and is a division of the Asian Internet Bible
Institute (
http://www.aibi.ph/ ). The Training In Cybermissions course can be found
at:
http://www.cybermissions.org/training/ and commences on October 6, 2003.
Edmiston says Cybermission "is the use of the Internet to facilitate
cross-cultural evangelism, church-planting, discipleship, training and
networking for missions.
"Cybermission can be sharing Christ in a chat room, designing an evangelistic
web-site, running an online Bible college focused on Third World pastors, or
helping missionaries strategize in an egroup."
"Some great articles on cybermissions and how you can get involved can be found
online in: our articles section. (
http://www.cybermissions.org/articles/ )."
Edmiston explained that Cybermissions is the front-line use of the Internet for
cross-cultural evangelism, church-planting, missions, discipleship, teaching,
networking, counseling and mentoring. Cybermissions.Org is a website dedicated
to building a professional community amongst those involved in cybermissions and
Internet evangelism.
The website says: "We offer articles on cybermissions, a wide variety of forums,
free webmail, and even the ability for cybermissionaries to have their own blogs
detailing their ministry and their learnings, trials and tribulations.
"By the way Cybermissions.Org is highly interactive so you can comment on, rate
and feedback on just about everything!"
"We have just added a 12 week course -- Training In Cybermissions! The course
covers the nature and theology and missiology of cybermissions plus online
evangelism and community-building, how to reach closed countries, web site
design, networking, publicity and off-line partnership and a whole lot more!
The course starts on the first Mondays in October, January, April and July but
you can enroll at any time for the next available cohort. See Training In
Cybermissions Home Page (http://www.cybermissions.org/training/)
for the course details."
Enrollment is a three-step (about 5 minute) enrollment process -- just read the
course details, fill in the form, log into the classroom area. Click on any of
the "Training In Cybermissions" links to start.

NK Missions (The World Center for North Korea Missions) is calling people
worldwide to join together in urgent prayer for North Korea. As part of NK
AWAKE, an International Prayer and Mobilization Campaign, NK Missions is
boldly calling for 10,000 prayers to be posted online for North Korea. May
these prayers stir others to pray and may they be used to open the doors of
North Korea.
LINK:
http://www.nkmissions.com/prayers
---
North Koreans who have successfully fled to China paint a picture of the
terrible life in their nation: indescribable needs and persecution,
permanent surveillance and control even of thoughts. "The years of famine
have cost the lives of millions, all religious practise is strictly
forbidden - except the worship of dictator Kim Jong-il and his deceased
father Kim Il-sung," writes missions agency Open Doors. The population has
been trained to spy on each other; every person is in a political unit of
five in their workplace, and families are grouped in twenties to a 'social
peoples' unit' led by one person reporting to the State. Christians are
considered political criminals; they often disappear, executed or interned
in labour camps, where they are kept like animals inside electric fences,
making goods for export under brutal conditions.
And yet there is hope: reliable sources speak of 300,000 to 400,000
Christians living in North Korea, their number continually growing. They
meet in small groups of four or five people, hidden behind thick curtains,
with no singing, because that is far too dangerous. These house churches
organise themselves in networks which meet in remote caves.
The number of Christians among the North Korean refugees in China has grown
significantly in recent years. Some Korean house churches in China focus on
evangelising and discipling them. "I believe that once the North Korean
borders are opened, God will use North Korean Christians to spread the
Gospel in Asia," says one North Korean refugee. "Now is a time of
preparation."
