The LORD judges nations so people will wake up and trust the Lord Jesus for salvation, and not end up in the lake of fire. Throughout history the Lord has forced or pushed christians into the frontier mission field, and locally too, through persecution and other means. Some times the Lord sends the mission field and they come to us, if we are not reaching out enough; many times with death, destruction, ect.. Many military and other good source documentation and spiritual evidence show that America is on the verge of major major judgment. In 1990 during the "fall" of Russia----they were in reality and are still undergoing the largest military build up in the history of the world. In Habakkuk's day, ancient Israel was wicked, and GOD was raising up a wicked nation to judge Israel.

**********************************God is speaking--Hab1.5-10--Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you. For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingpaces that are not their's. They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves. Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen all come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat. They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand. And they shall scoff at the kings, the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold: for they shall heap dust, and take it. Hab 1.5-10 .

*************************************

WARNING! Many things in Christian circles are false, or partly false. I believe the following link of prophecies of the LORD are genuine. They line up with God's ways in the Bible, with a genuine man of God's Word and Spirit. Concerning many nations, including the USA. Urgent, must read as much as you can, go to,http://www.world-ministries.org

Jesus said, can you not discern the signs of the times. The LORD is not willing that any should perish---so many times He plows up things to get people saved and leaning on Him. He has done it to many nations in our day--I think it is our turn in the USA and the western world. Read Hab.1 how God raised up the Babylonians to judge Israel. Thru the Bible with J.Vernon McGee is now starting Isaiah---very very Biblical teaching---much application for our nation; see www.ttb.org for 2 weeks of online broadcasts and radio log. All 66 books of the Bible and almost every chapter of the Bible taught in 5 years--1 nt book, then 1 ot book.

The LORD prepared judgment for Israel, Isaiah 54:16, 45:7 Deut 28. Some times government is for mercy, some times it is for judgment, Rom 13 ect, and much of the OT. Isaiah 8:12-13, An invasion was about to take place; [In my own words] God told Isaiah and the people to not fear what the people feared...but to let GOD be your fear and dread. Isaiah 54:16--God's instruments of judgment----to see some of these go to http://www.prophecyclub.com ,see the weekly audio broadcasts and Al Cuppet--he was 6 yrs with the Joint Chiefs. See also http://www.texemarrs.com, much info, see link called Internet Watch for concentration camp photos and foreign military equipment in N. America,http://www.geocities.com/~net-truth. Al Cuppet and Brigadeer General Ben Pardin say 1 to 3 million foreign soldiers on US soil. General Ed Wheeler has info also. Prophecyclub.com, visions by many people of Russians attacking America with nuclear missles. The reason I am telling this, is so people can see how God does many things, from a Biblcal view, and so people get saved, and christians are strengthened and can use books and the web to witness. Don McAlvany was in under cover intelligence for years and still connected; his news letter is read by some of the most influenctial people in the world, good documentation and solid, http://www.mcalvany.com

True news; and learn how Russian and China and all their allies have been preparing for war, nuclear, biological, and chemical with the USA, http://www.newsmax.com,look for Hot Topic on Russia and China, 11 signs indicating a surprise attack by Russia. Some of the best info, New World Order Intelligence, http://www.inforamp.net/~jwhitley, see also info there on the concentration/FEMA detention camps.

Read Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Psalms, Revelation, how God overshadows all things, All the Bible is good--KJV is true and sharp[see www.jesus-is-lord.com Ed Hills, under Bible heading, a good sound scholar--one of the best concerning the KJV and TR]; LISTEN to Thru the Bible Radio----on for over 50 years--very Biblcal , on your local radio station or the web, http://www.ttb.org Lately been in Isaiah, latter Jeremiah, then Lamentations, a lot of application to America. Alot can happen before the rapture--even thought many scriptures together teach that the 7 year peoriod of tribulation we will not be in. But remember the Red Sea, God rescued at the last minute; God's ways in the Bible, are to wait to the darkest point--many times. Rev 3.10 the Philadelphia church, which historically represents the witnessing missionary church; the Lord says He will keep them FROM the hour of temptation. The word from,is ek, which according to Spiros Zohdiates, means to be in, then taken out, as opposed to apo, which means to be near, or on, or with and then separated. Seems to my limited knowledge to mean that the church will be taken OUT OF the hour, so as not to be in it. But it can get dark before that moment. Look at the persecuted church in China, N. Korea, Sudan ect.---I was strengthened by the inside view of the free magazine--of The Voice of the Martyrs, good books, one free--Tortured for Christ, http://www.persecution.com .Y2K is only one piece of the puzzle,(modest preparations can be good for even the natural disasters, the spirtual preparations are by far the most important--spend time alone with the Lord, read Psalms and the word, walk and talk with him; help others; fast once in a while, it can help starve that flesh we have; learn from the persecuted church; learn how we can take part in the Lord Jesus Christ's great works--local and global---He has a global plan. )---Just as God said He raised up Pharoh to show His mighty power in him---God will raise up the antichrist---I beleive---and then judge him. God brought about a New World Order back in Israel's day thru the pagan king Nebuchanezzar--Jer 27.8, every nation that did not serve Nebuchanezzar, God would judge with the sword, famine and pestilence. Colossians 1.16 (about the the LORD JESUS CHRIST)--For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him... Romans 11.36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen. He did not make sin, but He did make the consequences of sin. He made all things, and sustains them, and they are all for His glory and purposes. Believe on the Lord Jesus and you shall be saved---John 3 all.

137,000 people every day, die, in the world[10;Our Globe and how to reach it;p.19.];---32,000 people every day, die, in the world with little or no *access* to the gospel[20;Catch the vision 2000;p.180,has a higher figure.];---Americans in 1992 spent $2 Billion on world missions[40;Mission Handbook;p.56;1993-95 edition.], and $6 Billion on candy+chewing gum. $6Bil.-crackers and cookies;$7Bil.-potato chips, nuts,+other snacks;$16Bil.-pets;$4Bil.-hair care products;$4Bil.-sauces+gravies;1Bil.=1000Million.See[30;U.S. Dept. of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Expenditure Survey; 1992; more info. below at 30.].----Yet 29.6% of Americans are official adult members of protestant churches[50; Operation World; p.564; 73,877,369; see pages near begining of book denomination statistics; the most widely used book in missions, after the Bible.].

The best missions educational materials, to start: 1) A M U S T read, free book; this book will change your life! The most important book I have ever read, after the Bible! Can be ordered free from the Internet and it will be shipped to you free, if you live in certain countries; go to: Free Missions Book.

2) A vital missions article, that is a must read,http://www.christianaid.org/tony1.htm Christian Aid Mission, 3045 Ivy Road, Charlottesville, VA, 22903, USA.

Some of the best opportunities in missions, in my opinion:1)Native missions-with above link to free book; 2)Radio, with Thru the Bible; 3)Bibles to China and Muslims in North Africa, Middle East, and central Asia-with Open Doors with Brother Andrew; links and info. below.

Ancient Israel's history and 2000 years of christian history shows that when a people has been blessed by God spiritually and physically and does not reach out effectivelly in missions, GOD sends the mission field to the ones with the blessings. Many times there is death, destruction, and slavery. Forced missions or witness.[Perspectives on the world christian movement. A book/course highly recommend by Billy Graham, taken by 25,000 people. See chapter, The kingdom strikes back.]

Many issues to deal with in this country, but what is the #1 issue on the heart of Jesus? Many watchmen on the wall, but what is the #1 issue on the heart of the Chief watchman--The Lord Jesus? The Lord says in Psalm 127:1b,: "except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain." If we are not pleasing the Chief watchman, the city can fall--no matter what earthly watchmen do. The Word of God tells us why Jesus came and what the is the #1 priority issue for us to be working on--the gospel to those who have never heard and to those who have little or no access to the gospel and the Word of God or a local church and christians. Many do not have any scripture in a language that they can understand; many do not have an alphabet;3000 languages do not have an alphabet[Wycliffe Bible Translators; book: The Alphabet Makers, inside covers.]
Brother Andrew of Open Doors has ministered to the persecuted church for 41 years. He wrote a book called "God's smuggler". He said, if we don't go to the heathen taking the gospel, they will come to us as occupying armies and as revolutionaries[In the book: The calling, p.7]. He had similar words I think, for the czechoslovakian brethren before the Russians invaded czechoslovakia.

S T O P !............... slow down; DO NOT pass up the following words of The LORD Jesus Christ ; The living God and printed Word of God is ALL WE HAVE as a foundation to stand on, in order to enter into heaven and to live the christian life; or as a guide or road map, so we know what should and should not think, say, and do; or as a vital relational connection to God, for His fellowship--and with others also; or bringing the power of God, to do God's will; or as a food from God, to satisfy and grow us in Christ. We must trust God's words and NOT trust our own heart--Jeremiah 17:9 says: "The heart is deceitful above ALL things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?(emphasis added). Also in Proverbs 28:26a, "He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool:". We have to know the word of God, because Satan likes to use it against us(see Matthew 4), either as a subtle twisting or not in a Biblical balance with other scriptures, that takes into account that certain scriptures are more priority or important than others; or Satan can even use or speak thru our fellow christians, who are unknowingly or willing participants(see Matthew 4:10 and Peter; and Ephesians 6:12a "For we wrestle no against flesh and blood..."). Satan, at times together with the flesh and the world can use religious or other tradition that can at many times be used, and the word of God is pushed aside(see Matthew 15 and Mark 7). If we do not know the word of God, we are more likely to sin, thereby giving "place to the devil" or a toe hold in our lives(see Ephesians 4). Also, Satan is subtle and comes as the good and Biblical; II Corinthians 11:14-15a says: "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness;" The world want us to conform to its ways(see Romans 12:2); Our own mind, Satan, the world and even fellow christians can present good ministry opportunities which are pushed at us TO KEEP US FROM, actually, what path the LORD wants us to walk---"prove what is...the perfect will of God..."(Romans 12:2b); Philippians 1:9-10(emphasis added) says: "And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more IN KNOWLEDGE and in ALL judgment[DISCERNMENT]; That ye may APPROVE things that are EXCELLENT; that ye may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ".

Keep on reading the word of God:
The Lord Jesus Christ said in Luke 12:48, "For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required:". The Lord Jesus in Luke 16:10-11 was talking about money, "He that is faithful in that with is LEAST is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the TRUE riches?" ;(emphasis added). (A person is saved by believing in Jesus(John 3:16); but, a genuine conversion will produce lasting fruit(see, Matthew 13, the four soils),--and obediance to the Word of God--though not perfect(I John 1:8). The Lord Jesus said in Matthew 7:21-24, "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his upon a rock:". The apostle Peter in I Peter 4:17 said, "For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God:".

In Revelation 1-3, we get a "picture" of The Almighty Lord Jesus Christ as He is this very day. Revelation 1:14-18, "His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and his contenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. And when I [the apostle John] saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death."

In Revelation 2-3 you see The Judge, The Lord Jesus Christ judging the churches. Revelation 3:1-6, "And unto the angel [ie. pastor, as a messenger] of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches."

[20]-About 32,000 people every day, die, in the world, possibly without ever having heard the gospel or having very little *access* to the gospel, the Word of God, a christian, or a *living*(not Revelation 3:1) native congregation(which many times gives the most effective witness; Jesus said in Matthew 5:14, Ye are the light of the world--*people*--that is; Jesus came down as a man, to communicate to, and to reach and save people).

OPPORTUNITIES AND OPEN DOORS; if not taken, may become our jail doors.
We need to link up with the "weaker" christians and the despised christians,(I Corinthians 1:25-29),says: "Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosed, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence." The Lord Jesus Christ said in John 4:38, I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours. We as the body of Christ--being many members with different functions--need to enter into and work with the labours of those of the past and especially, the labours of those brothers and sisters of today--to function as one body--(I Corinthians 12:18).

* Christians in Sudan: According the Voice of the Martyrs newsletter, this is the area of greatest persecution, and also maybe the greatest since the times of the apostles. In the last 13 or so years, 2,000,000 people, mostly christians, have been killed for their faith; 250,000 homes have been bulldozed; 3,500,000 people have fled their homes. VOM rightly teaches, that we help our brothers and sisters and also show the love of Jesus to the persecutors. Thru VOM, you can help: $45 for a life pack(for "Sudan Mission"), which includes survival equipment to "start over", and a Bible. Further information on Sudan and/or the free newletter(one of the best resources to wake me up and to inspire me to live for Jesus); VOM,P O Box 443, Bartlesville, OK, 74005-0443,USA. E-mail: VOMUSA@aol.com Also in USA, 1-800-747-0085. Offices in other countries thru its own International Christian Association of mission offices. http://www.persecution.com They may be still offering a free ($3 for shipping) video on Sudan to educate our churches.

* Missionary radio is super, many times it can reach 10 people for 1 cent. Newspaper evangelism can sometimes reach 100 people for 1 cent; that is 1,000,000 people for $100 . Because of newspaper evangelism, people in Russia are asking for New Testaments, and the door is slowly closing it seems. Working with brethren in Russia, 30 cents can supply a New Testament and delivery to a person who is requesting one by letter, because or newspaper/magazine evangelism. 12.5 cents for the same to India. Contact AMG for free newsletter and/or to invest in this; AMG, P O Box 22000, Chattanooga, TN, 37422. http://www.amgintl.orgAMG may have a list of radio stations where the Bible is taught, and missions opportunities are given out, every week day, for 15 minutes a day. I would invest in many projects or parts of the body of christ. Some projects are more priority than others; some have a limited time window of opportunity. World Missions Far Corners works with AMG and located at Long Beach CA, USA; I think thru the World Missions Far Corners, New Testaments, if purchased in a 50,000 lot can be obtained for 2 cents/N.T. in India. This would be a total of $1000. World Missions Far Corners has a web site, and also a list of radio stations in which missions opportunities are made available, every week day for 15 minutes a day;http://www.wmfcinc.com

* Native evagelists/church planters many times can be supported, full time, for $1 a day. This is 1/30th to 1/50th or less than "traditional" methods of outsiders coming in. Outsiders are needed also for certain ministries, if done right. See the free missions book to find out how that 100% of your offering goes to the native worker that you support. Covers most of Asia.

* China: 60,000,000-100,000,000 christians are screaming for us to send them Bibles; much persecution. Many times one Bible is shared by 100 to 1000 christians. 90% of the christians in China have no Bible. Many times pastors take their two weeks vacation to visit someone with a Bible, so they can spend the entire time hand copying the Bible. After a number of vacations, they might have a good part of the Bible. In Vietnam, christians have to memorized 176 verses of Psalm 119, before they can get on the waiting list, to see if they might get a Bible. In many places, people are willing to walk 100s of miles and more to see if they can get a Bible; and many times willing to spend several months salary or a years salary to get a Bible, if it was available. Open Doors, with brother Andrew ministers to the persecuted church. Total cost for Scripture and delivery: $3 Bible to China; $2.50 New Testament to Muslim countries; $4 Bible to Muslim countries. Many offices around the world. In the USA, Open Doors, P O Box 27001, Santa Ana, CA, 92799 for more information. http://www.solcon.nl/odi,(International page in Holland), reaching North Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, where many Muslims are, and other parts of the world.

* Thru The Bible Radio, (new web site below) with Dr.J.Vernon McGee, goes thru all 66 books, and almost every chapter of the Bible in 5 years, in an easy to understand manner. Very Christ centered and Bible centered; just as the Bible has it. McGee is not perfect though. Reading the scripture as he goes systematically thru each book of the Bible; usually one Old Testament book, then one New Testament book. Free notes and outlines for those in North America. Right now I just have the USA address and phone number: Thru The Bible Radio, PO Box 7100, Pasadena Ca, 91109-07100; or 1-800-65-BIBLE. This is best Bible teaching, in general, that I know of. It is in 50 languages, and I think broadcast monday-friday, 30 minutes each day, in each language. McGee started about 56 years ago in radio, and was a pastor for about 40 years. I guess he has taught thru the Bible(about every chapter, and some places, most of the verses), probably 8 and maybe more times all together. USA radio logs can be obtained at the previous phone and address listing. They have an international radio log(including English as a foreign broadcast) and one in Spanish. They have several prayer guides, which cover the major areas of radio outreach. For those outside of North America, there are many offices with native producer/translators, who you can write to. Radios are used by many many people even by the very poor and in remote locations, and can reach thru geographic, political, cultural, language, spiritual, economic, and anti-christian barriers. Radios can be taken with you, are cheap, and can be listened in privated if needed, or for the whole community to listen to also, if there is openness. There are 1-2 Billion non-literate people in the world;, many live in cultures where there is no alphabet(3000 out of 6700 language have no alphabet; see The Alphabet Makers, a book by Wycliffe Bible Translators, inside covers, for the 3000 languages figure).

The Lord Jesus Christ said in Luke 12:48, "For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required:".

And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." ________________________________________________________ In Revelation 2-3 you see The Judge, The Lord Jesus Christ judging the churches. Revelation 3:1-6, "And unto the angel [ie. pastor, as a messenger] of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches." ____________________________________________________________________________________________ [10]-(see yearly figure, Our Globe and How to Reach it, David Barrett, p.19, published 1990). 55,000 people every day, die, in the world, who live in *unreached people groups*.An unreached people group is one that--from our limited human point of view--does not have sufficient resources, such as, a strong enough native church to evangelize their own people group, and so needs outside help in the form of: Firstly--being of assistance to the native christians, so they can do the work; and Secondarily--christians from outside the people group going in. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ [20]-About 32,000 people every day, die, in the world, possibly without ever having heard the gospel or having very little *access* to the gospel, the Word of God, a christian, or a *living*(not Revelation 3:1) native congregation(which gives the most effective witness, sometimes--Jesus said in Matthew 5:14, Ye are the light of the world--*people*--that is; Jesus came down as a man, to communicate to, and to reach and save people). My last two figures are based upon a number of sources, including information from the U.S. Center for World Mission, in Pasadena, CA, U.S.A.; Mission Mobilizers Handbook, p.C24, uscwm, William Carey Library publisher, 1996; a releated figure is in: Catch the Vision 2000, Bill and Amy Stearns, p. 180, 1991, voted the best Mission/Evangelism book of 1992 by the Evangelical Christian Press Association. __________________________________________________________________________________________ [30]-(see, the United States Department of Labour, Bureau of Labour Statistics, Consumer Expenditure Survey, 1992, the detailed listing is unpublished and can be obtained from them free. Their figures are expenditures per year per consumer unit(2.5 people, on mathematical average);Americans in 1992, spent $2 Billion on sweetrolls, coffee cakes, and doughnuts; and another $5 Billion on lawn and garden supplies, not including equipment; and $2 Billion on admission to sporting events; and $6 Billion on VCRs, video disc players, video cassettes + discs, video game hardware and software; and $11 Billion on toys, games, hobbies, and tricycles; and $1 Billion on boats without motor and boat trailers; and $13 Billion on motorized recreation vehicles, which includes, $6 Billion on purchase of boat with motor, and, $7 Billion on motorized camper coaches and other vehicles[motorized recreation]). ______________________________________________________________________________________________ [40]-(see, Mission Handbook, 1993-95 edition, published by M.A.R.C, statistic for 1992, p.56). ________________________________________________________________________________________________ [50]-(figure compiled from statistics(73,877,369 official adult members of protestant churches in the United States), taken from Operation World, by Patrick Johnstone, p.563-4, 1993 edition; the most widely used book in world missions, after the Bible). ______________________________________________________________________________________________ We need to link up with the "weaker" christians and the despised christians,(I Corinthians 1:25-29),says: "Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosed, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence." The Lord Jesus Christ said in John 4:38, I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours. We as the body of Christ--being many members with different functions--need to enter into and work with the labours of those of the past and especially, the labours of those brothers and sisters of today--to function as one body--(I Corinthians 12:18). _________________________________________________________________________________________________ * Christians in Sudan: According the Voice of the Martyrs newsletter, this is the area of greatest persecution, and also maybe the greatest since the times of the apostles. In the last 13 or so years, 2,000,000 people, mostly christians, have been killed for their faith; 250,000 homes have been bulldozed; 3,500,000 people have fled their homes. VOM rightly teaches, that we help our brothers and sisters and also show the love of Jesus to the persecutors. Thru VOM, you can help: $45 for a life pack(for "Sudan Mission"), which includes survival equipment to "start over", and a Bible.

Newspaper evangelism can sometimes reach 100 people for 1 cent; that is 1,000,000 people for $100. Because of newspaper evangelism, people in Russia are asking for New Testaments, and the door is slowly closing it seems. Working with brethren in Russia, 30 cents can supply a New Testament and delivery to a person who is requesting one by letter, because or newspaper/magazine evangelism. 12.5 cents for the same to India. Contact AMG for free newsletter and/or to invest in this; AMG, P O Box 22000, Chattanooga, TN, 37422. I would invest in many projects or parts of the body of christ. Some projects are more priority than others; some have a limited time window of opportunity. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ * Native evagelists/church planters many times can be supported, full time, for $1 a day. This is 1/30th to 1/50th or less than "traditional" methods of outsiders coming in. Outsiders are needed also for certain ministries, if done right. See the free missions book to find out how that 100% of your offering goes to the native worker that you support. Covers most of Asia. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ * China: 60,000,000 christians are screaming for us to send them Bibles; much persecution. Many times one Bible is shared by 100 to 1000 christians. 90% of the christians in China have no Bible. Many times pastors take their two weeks vacation to visit someone with a Bible, so they can spend the entire time hand copying the Bible. After a number of vacations, they might have a good part of the Bible. In Vietnam, christians have to memorized 176 verses of Psalm 119, before they can get on the waiting list, to see if they might get a Bible. In many places, people are willing to walk 100s of miles and more to see if they can get a Bible; and many times willing to spend several months salary or a years salary to get a Bible, if it was available. Open Doors, with brother Andrew ministers to the persecuted church. Total cost for Scripture and delivery: $3 Bible to China; $2.50 New Testament to Muslim countries; $4 Bible to Muslim countries. Many offices around the world. In the USA, Open Doors, P O Box 27001, Santa Ana, CA, 92799 for more information. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ * Thru The Bible Radio, with Dr.J.Vernon McGee, goes thru all 66 books, and almost every chapter of the Bible in 5 years, in an easy to understand manner. Very Christ centered and Bible centered; just as the Bible has it. McGee is not perfect though. Reading the scripture as he goes systematically thru each book of the Bible; usually one Old Testament book, then one New Testament book. Free notes and outlines for those in North America. Right now I just have the USA address and phone number: Thru The Bible Radio, PO Box 7100, Pasadena Ca, 91109-07100; or 1-800-65-BIBLE. This is best Bible teaching, in general, that I know of. It is in 50 languages, and I think broadcast monday-friday, 30 minutes each day, in each language. McGee started about 56 years ago in radio, and was a pastor for about 40 years. I guess he has taught thru the Bible(about every chapter, and some places, most of the verses), probably 8 and maybe more times all together. USA radio logs can be obtained at the previous phone and address listing. They have an international radio log(including English as a foreign broadcast) and one in Spanish. They have several prayer guides, which cover the major areas of radio outreach. For those outside of North America, there are many offices with native producer/translators, who you can write to. Radios are used by many many people even by the very poor and in remote locations, and can reach thru geographic, political, cultural, language, spiritual, economic, and anti-christian barriers. Radios can be taken with you, are cheap, and can be listened in privated if needed, or for the whole community to listen to also, if there is openness. There are 1-2 Billion non-literate people in the world;, many live in cultures where there is no alphabet(3000 out of 6700 language have no alphabet; see The Alphabet Makers, a book by Wycliffe Bible Translators, inside covers, for the 3000 languages figure). The major languages of trade, are not as good as the native languages, when it come to communicating the Bible, but the Lord has through historical events, provided this avenue of communicating. Radio is reaching those with little or no access to the gospel or christians or scripture; and many can not read or may not even have an alphabet in the native language, but can listen to the radio thru a spoken trade language. See some links below to see where to tune in to many christian radio broadcasts in many languages.
