				<description><![CDATA[USA (MNN) -- A Christian woman will soon accept the Special Olympics 2009 Female Athlete of the Year award for the Special Olympics in Southeastern Wisconsin. Shepherd's Ministries is always helping the disabled reach their fullest potential--especially in their relationship with the Lord. Becky Henline has excelled in several sports, including cross-country skiing. But for participants from Shepherd's Ministries, it's their faith that stands out most. Their athletes and volunteers wear shirts and hats with Bible verses on them. Shepherd's Cindy Weitzell says they've had people ask what the shirts mean. "Our athletes are able to witness at that point in time. When Becky was at World Games, even at State Games, they said something about her attitude just being so perfect that they would love to have her go anywhere; I think that attitude speaks a lot as far as her testimony for the Lord." Pray that Shepherd's Ministries remains a shining witness each year so they can see more people[...]]]></description>

Emmanuel Fellowship has begun evangelistic outreach to the local high security prison in their town.

SEND's goal is to mentor the process of church planting and indigenous missions. Pray that this work will prosper and be effective for the Kingdom.

The Forum of Bible Agencies International has launched FindABible.net, an innovative and interactive Web site that gives easy access to 15,000 Scripture products in more than 3,000 languages. Jon Anderson with World Bible Translation Center  says, "Find a Bible is a Web site that comprises all Scripture resources that we can access either in print, digitally, or audio, or in any other format that we can find." The coalition includes Audio Scripture Ministries, Faith Comes By Hearing, OneHope, Open Doors, SIM International, World Bible Translation Center, Wycliffe and dozens of others.

				<description><![CDATA[Pakistan (MNN) -- Recent violent attacks on the Christian community in Pakistan are continuing. The government claims it is providing equal rights to religious minorities, including Christians. "Not so," says Todd Nettleton with Voice of the Martyrs. "It's great to say afterward, 'Yes, we want to help you, and we want to make this right.' How much better would it be to actually provide some protection or put a stop to these attacks before they happen?" They're still standing alongside the remnant church. "Voice of the Martyrs works with the Christians in Pakistan, and in some cases, we are also coming in afterward to try to help them put their lives back together." It's an opportunity for ministry, explains Nettleton: "When Christians respond with love and forgiveness to incidents like this, that can be an incredible spark for revival because the Muslims look at that and they say, 'Wait a minute. How are these people able to respond that way? How are they still able to love us?'" Pray[...]]]></description>

Training and teaching for church leaders took place last month at the GMI Bible College in Kindu. The school hosted a two-day seminar for pastors. Please pray for the GMI campaigns that will continue through the year.   ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[Japan (MNN) -- One in every four marriages in Japan now ends in divorce. The issue has become a source of concern for a society in which families are a core strength. Tim Clark with Asian Access is working with a pilot program called "The Marriage Course" by Alpha. "Many start the course with a little bit of skepticism and hesitancy, not wanting to go deep into discussion. But both Christians and non-Christians are finding it to be a great way to ease into discussing important matters that are crucial to the health of their marriages." The Alpha Course is a basic introduction to the Christian faith. From it came a seven-week study for marriages. Clark says interest is rapidly growing, and they are beginning the Japanese translation of the course materials. "There are very few resources in Japan for strengthening marriages and families. Many churches are recognizing this need, both for church members as well as their friends and others who aren't a part of the church."

Since the heated elections in June, the government is cracking down on certain civilian activities. Terry Ascott with SAT-7 says they broadcast Christian programming which offers comfort to residents of this tense region. "The truth is that many of the satellite channels, including ours, are blocked from certain parts of the country, and I'm not sure how they're doing it. It's some new technology because until now, it's not really been possible to block multiple satellite channels coming into the country without up-linking interference to the satellite." The signal interruptions happen mostly in the capital of Tehran. Ascott says that the information which does get through is being received by ready hearts.  "People who are caught up in this kind of change are, perhaps, more open than ever to the Gospel of[...]]]></description>

Last year, Hindu radicals organized four months of attacks on Christians, according to International Christian Concern. Now that the cases have made it to court, gunmen are on the hunt for any witnesses who might testify. Some people who've promised to testify are now refusing to speak. Without their testimonies, it is unlikely a just sentence will be given. Ask God to keep these Christians from harm.  ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[Burundi (MNN) -- Every day, intestinal worms rob hungry children of precious nutrition. One in three people worldwide suffer from parasites. Food for the Hungry says it's what gives a child the "shape" of hunger -- distended bellies. Food for the Hungry is taking action, says Andrew Crawford. "We are delighted to have been invited by the Burundi government to attend a national health initiative and support their efforts to rid their country of intestinal parasites." Last year, Food for the Hungry funded 7.8 million treatments of deworming medicine. Because of the lack of communications infrastructure in Burundi, Crawford says the church is a strategic link. "It's estimated that about 90 to 95 percent of the people will be reached through the church. So we can pray that as people are served with medicines and are reached with the Gospel, they'll be drawn closer to Christ because of their proximity to people of faith." The government supports this approach. Your gift of $100 can treat[...]]]></description>

Scott VanderKooy with Worldwide Christian Schools says the protests have settled, but "there seems to be just a general tenseness in the populace, even though our schools right now are on break. There's great concern amongst the school leadership and the teachers over what's going to happen next." Summer is one of the busiest times for their HANDS teams to get work done on the school buildings. "For the time being, we have diverted the short-term mission trips to other countries until we have a better understanding of how the leadership change is going to affect the projects," says VanderKooy. The WWCS team works through indigenous leadership to run Christ-centered schools in the area. "Steve Geurink, one of our field directors, is down there right now trying to understand if and how the leadership change on the governmental level affects our work there," says VanderKooy.
