Prayer
Points for the Lampungese
From
a Christian Worker
Literature
Drop: Two literature drops have been recently been completed,
with evangelistic videos and Gospel portions being placed near
200 villages. Pray that the literature will be found and shared
among the villagers. Pray that those who read it will want to
know more and will use the contact information printed in the
literature.
Radio
Program: The first ever evangelistic radio programs will
begin airing for 30 minutes each day in March 2004, God willing
and the funding comes through. It our first step toward putting
the Gospel on the air in the heart language of the people. Pray
that many will hear and respond, and that effective follow-up
will happen.
Hospital
Outreach: We have hundreds of contacts through hospital
outreach. Pray for people to respond to the letters we send asking
them if they want to learn more about Christ. Also, pray for the
national workers who do outreach through the hospital. Pray that
they will not be afraid to share the Gospel and that they would
have a great desire to see the people evangelized.
Church
Planters: "Phil" is a faithful national church
planter who has led 20 Lampungese to Christ. Pray that he'll continue
to be bold and faithful to his calling. Pray for wisdom as he
secretly disciples these new believers. They must meet in secret
at this time due to severe persecution of those who leave Islam
to embrace Christ. Pray that others will join in the harvest.

Persecuted
Church: Myanmar - Persecution Backfires
A
pastor in Myanmar was accosted by police, mercilessly beaten in
front of his wife and 2-year-old daughter, then left bound overnight
in front of the village chief's house. The next morning, he was
taken to jail, where he boldly spoke to guards and inmates about
Jesus. He was released after his congregation prayed for him and
appealed to authorities, and he continued to proclaim Christ in
the community. Twenty-three people came to Christ, and the church
had to add meetings during the week to accommodate seekers.

| Reaching
the Unreached Peoples of the Earth
Mission
work has always been focused on bringing people to salvation
through Jesus Christ, but in the last 20 years, missions
agencies that sent missionaries to the field "were content
to work only where missionaries
were welcomed, while
more
than a third of the world remained isolated from access
to the gospel,"
says
International Mission Board
President Jerry Rankin.

His grandmother was born in Africa and became a Christian after
being captured and brought to the United States as a slave. Though

land. Read

Study: Being an On-Mission
Chrisian - The Day-to-Day Grind
By
Shane Tucker
During the last four months of 2003,
we investigated the concept of what it takes to be an on-mission
Christian. But what does this really mean on a Tuesday or on a
Friday night? What does it look like on a real-life, day-to-day
basis? Do you wonder how you could become one who is counted among
the “sheep,” loving the least of these and following
their shepherd’s mission? Read

Almost all of the 2 million Lampungese of Sumatra are Muslim-not
because they have rejected the gospel, but because they
have never heard it. Most Lampungese live in villages where
there are no churches and no Christians. As followers of
folk Islam, the Lampungese live in fear of evil spirits
and of alienation from the tight-knit Islamic community.

people group is now enmeshed in poverty. Their poverty is
not only financial, but spiritual as well.
