 Of
the planet's nearly 13,000 distinct ethnic people groups, more
than 2,100 have virtually no access to the gospel of Christ, mission
researchers report. Forty-one countries have populations that
are more than 99 percent non-Christian; 45 more are close behind.

Persecuted
Church: Zhuang of Southern China (jwahng)
There have been
crackdowns on religious activity throughout China. Students at
a university were told not to study the Bible in a group. They
plan to continue to study by themselves and meet together off
campus. Please pray for their faith to grow stronger, and also
for their safety. In another situation, a sister in Christ has
been arrested for holding a worship service. She was sentenced
to one year and three months of labor camp. Her crime was that
she was working to promote occultism in the name of Christianity.
Please pray for success as the local believers take this case
to court to seek her release. In yet another instance, a local
house church leader has asked prayer for his elder sister and
her son who were arrested for distributing Christian VCDs. Family
members are not being allowed to visit them. Please pray for God
to be glorified in this situation. Please pray for God's continued
direction and protection as for the Zhuang.

Missionary
Bio Byte: John Geddie of Vanuatu
HIDEOUS
SHRIEKS and unearthly wails shattered the stillness
of the night.
"Do
you hear those horrible cries?" asked the missionary's wife.
"Yes,"
her husband replied. "Someone has died and, after the custom of
this dark island, a relative is being strangled."
Shortly
after dawn, on a beach nearby, they saw a group of natives casting
into the sea the body of the man who had died a few hours earlier
and also the body of his wife who had been strangled. Hastening
to the shore, the missionary spoke pointedly to the natives about
the wickedness of their conduct. Some of them, having for sometime
been under Christian instruction, joined in the condemnation,
and then set about to locate the actual murderer. In a few minutes
the party returned, dragging the culprit. Seeing the white man
he cried out: "Have mercy! Let me go and I will never again strangle
a woman."

Bible
Study: When the Good News
is a Tough Choice
By
George Siler
Sometimes,
choosing the Good News is not an easy choice. Christians are beaten
and disowned - and sometimes killed - because they believed that
the Good News of Jesus Christ was truly good for them in this
life and for eternity.
How
can we give people a gospel message that could kill them? Perhaps
the real question is, how can we not give them the Truth when
Jesus Himself knew the price some of His followers would pay and
still He called them to Himself - to peace, to abundance, and
to eternity with Him?

*Excerpted
from My Life a Mission Trip by George Siler, week 3, day 5.
"How
many there are . who imagine that because Jesus paid it all, they
need pay nothing, forgetting that the prime object of their salvation
was that they should follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ in
bringing back a lost world to God."
