| Raising
Money for Your Student Mission Project
Fundraising
for a short-term mission project can be intimidating,
but if this mission project is God's desire for
you, He will provide.
Use
these tips for fundraising:
1.
Give sacrificially out of your own funds. Don't ask others
to do for you what you aren't willing to do yourself.
2.
Ask your friends if they would give up one soda per day
and a fast food meal per week and save the money for your
mission project. By the end of a year, each friend
will have saved about $450.
3.
Write letters to family and friends and ask church members
you know to give to you mission project fund.
Many
adults want to be involved in missions, but can't be because
of health, work, or family duties. By helping you, they
are involved in a tangible way.
If
you recoil at asking people for money for your mission project,
check your pride. God has blessings in store for those who
give to His Kingdom mission work. Your pride may be keeping
someone from receiving God's blessing because you wouldn't
tell them of your need.

| Night
of Power
"When will the night
of power come?" a follower of Jesus asked his
Omani co-worker. The Omani replied, "No one knows
beforehand which night of Ramadan it will be. We strive
to be prepared for that night, when God will visit
his followers with dreams, visions, and special spiritual
powers and joy."
According to tradition, Allah reaches down for a brief
moment on the Night of Power and if a person is praying
at that particular split-second, his prayer is answered
- guaranteed. It's a night when many stay up
all night, asking God to reveal himself to them and
expecting God to speak to them in dreams.
Let's
ask that God will reveal truth of Jesus Christ to
Muslims to those who are truly seeking Him on the
Night of Power- to those whose hearts He has already
begun preparing for Himself.
The
Night of Power is traditionally during the last 10
days of Ramadan, the Muslims holy month of prayer
and fasting. This year, the last 10 days falls on
Nov. 20 - 30.
An
Afghan Muslims who was stuck in a crowded refugee
camp, was observing the Ramadan fast and praying that
God would reveal Himself. The man heard the good news
of God's love and salvation in Jesus Christ from a
follower of Jesus who was ministering to the refugees.
On the night before the Night of Power, this man had
a dream of Jesus. The next day he decided to repent
of his sin and follow Jesus. |

Persecuted
Church: China
God's
presence in persecution
The moment
was unlike any other as a small group of Christian workers waited
to hear the house-church leader answer the question. They knew
that this man who had been cruelly beaten and imprisoned many
years for his faith possessed keen insights. Despite everything,
he had continued to faithfully proclaim Christ. And so they sat
enthralled as they waited to hear his answer to the question,
"How shall we ask people to pray for the church in China?"
Firmly and with determination, he replied,
"Don't ask God to put an end to the persecution. Pray instead
that those who are suffering will sense God's presence with them,
and that He will be glorified through their lives and witness."

Missionary
Heroes Bio Byte: Lottie Moon
The
Chinese called her "Devil Woman," but Lottie  Moon
was a heroine for today. Lottie Moon is the namesake of
the Southern Baptist international missions offering during the
Christmas season because she was a woman passionate about a lost
world, a woman who didn't hesitate to speak her mind.
As
a college student, Lottie chose to follow Christ, having rebelled
against Christianity in her early years. When she set sail for
China, Lottie was 32 years old. She had turned down a marriage
proposal and left her job, home and family to follow God's lead.
Lottie labored in China for 39 years. Many Chinese who once
feared this foreigner eventually accepted her, and some accepted
her Savior.
In
1912, during a time of war and famine in China, Lottie silently
starved, knowing that her beloved Chinese didn't have enough food.
Her fellow Christians saw the ultimate sign of love: giving her
life for others. On Christmas Eve, Lottie died on a ship bound
for the United States. Read
more about Lottie Moon and her ministry to the Chinese.
