The Lord has opened doors of opportunity and we plead your faithful prayers on our behalf.  Tim will be leaving November 22nd for Myanmar (25th to 28th) and Cambodia (28th to Dec. 3rd).  In both countries Tim will be coming alongside indigenous leaders to teach God’s Plan for Church Planting (CPM) and Renewing the Church to Her Biblical Foundation.  We are so thankful that God has raised up those who want to build on this foundation.  In both countries, there is an immediate need for printing the CPM (Myanmar - $1,300 and Cambodia $3,000). On Tim’s return from these two countries, he will be stopping at Istanbul, Turkey (Dec 4th to 10th) for CPM training church leaders from five Middle Eastern countries.  This opportunity is amazing!  We are convinced that God has put this together “for such a time as this” and perhaps showing us His way of reaching more of the church more effectively.  Those coming are already working through the lessons in the CPM in preparation for the conference.  This is so different from what we experience in other parts of the world.  Your prayers and support for these events are greatly appreciated and we know that God gives us direction because you are praying. ·    Pray for the Holy Spirit to prepare hearts for the entrance of God’s Word. ·    Pray for Him to prepare us – unworthy servants – that we be instruments of God’s eternal purpose for the church. ·    Pray for provision so that the CPM can be printed, paid for and given to those hungry for God’s principles for the    church. ·    Pray for Tim’s travel, safety, wife, family and health
     Pray that the flooding in Bangkok, Thailand will subside so that he can get a flight there.

To glorify God by partnering with indigenous key leaders to establish biblical churches that are self‐sustaining and reproducing among all people groups.  We want to see all people groups worshiping God.  Our strategy is to develop a ministry that is dependent on the authority and sufficiency of Scripture; not dependent on man or money.

I heard someone say the other day (to paraphrase) "What if you lived on an island with nothing but the Word of God.  No outside influences, no other books, nothing but being able to read over and over through the Bible.  Would we come to the conclusion that how we do "church" today is how the Lord intended it to be when He left this earth?  Probably not even close.  Most of us have been fed from someone else what we know today and it may or may not be biblical."  We need to get back to the basics, back to the sufficiency of Scripture and most important, back to allowing the Holy Spirit to guide and direct us.

I am constantly intrigued and challenged whenever I look at thelogic and strategy of the young missionary church in the book ofActs, as I sought to “make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19). Considering that the early church did not enjoy the numerical strength we have, or the technological advances we take for granted, one cannot but wonder how this small band of disciples made such a tremendous impact on their world. What was their secret? What can we learn from their strategy?                               --David Zac Niringiye, Uganda, Africa
