Greetings to you all and thank you once again for praying me through a demanding 10 days in south east Nigeria. I felt the effect of prayer several times. God opened 3 doors for ministry and I was able to give 9 messages over 8 days, 4 of them at the church in Umunakanu, the home village of my brother Chika, who organized the trip and who goes to the church I attend in Kuala Lumpur.

In October we raised over £100 as part of our harvest celebrations. Thank you to everyone who contributed and those who helped make such a wonderful meal. We also learnt a little about what it means to live in poverty and how Tearfund work to help communities by providing resources and support to local churches.

Tearfund are organising churches across the world to pray for change. You can find out more at www.bepartofamiracle.org.uk

Do you know anyone who is starting university this year? Do you think that they would like to be visited and supported by a Christian student?

UCCF: The Christian Unions has an online service where new students can arrange to be contacted when they arrive at college. They also offer a range of resources for new students and the parents they leave behind on their Freshers website.

For those of us not being challenged by a new start at university please pray for all the new students and Christian unions across the country.

Thank you to everyone who gave money in return for the free used books at church on Sunday 23 September. 2007

The money we raised will provide two Study Bibles for pastors in the Middle East.

Open Doors serve persecuted Christians worldwide. Pastor Abdul in the Middle East who is supported by the organisation says:

“When my boy goes out to school, I have deep fear inside. It is just so dangerous. Only God’s Word can provide the courage that we need here.”

Greetings to you all! I asked you for prayer last month about a trip to Nagaland in north India and this is to tell you that the answer was….wait! It was not possible for me to get a permit in time to visit this month but another opportunity may come in May/June, so I am waiting to see how this develops. In the meantime I am planning to visit Karnataka state…ie Bangalore area..in April, God willing of course! A young brother I met recently in Singapore is interested in coming too. It is better if possible to have a team. Thanks for your prayer support. It is so valuable to me…Bill Yates
