			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Honorable/Respected Christian people of the World,</p>
<p>There are many reliable Churches in Pakistan but somehow they never reach areas that are in real need.  Areas where the Christian people are very backward, for example: Punjab, Sindh, Nwfp and Balochistan. Reliable Churches have a strong presence in the cities of Pakistan but their work in rural area is zero.</p>
<p>The Christian community of Pakistan is only 3% and the rest of the people are Muslims.  The majority of Christians in Pakistan have their own social economic problem and are unable to carry out their vision towards Christian evangelism.</p>
<p>The Christian community is reduced to living in small villages and are suffering in many ways.  The British missions offered education from 1877 to 1947  in some areas but it hasn&#8217;t done much to improve their standard of living.</p>
<p>I can show you the miserable conditions of Christian people living in Pakistan far away from cities.</p>
<p>They are miserable in many ways.  They do not know how to pray in a church because they do not have any church or pastor.  They do not have knowledge of the Bible.  They never learned about the birth and resurrection of Christ.  They do not know about Baptism or about receiving Holy Communion.</p>
<p>Most adults are illiterate and their children are the same.  Their economic condition is truly tragic.</p>
<p>Usually they only have breakfast but do not have any food for lunch and dinner.  We want to up left them up. But our economic condition is not that much better.</p>
<p>We want to improve their education but there are many problems before us.  We are in need of school buildings, teacher&#8217;s salaries and equipment that is very necessary for this project.  We can not fulfill it without international Christian help.</p>
<p>We are working to help Christians.  Cina Church wants you to help us.</p>
<p><span id="more-1740"></span>We are currently working on the following projects:  Christian films, Sunday schools, home preaching, Christian religious education and macro loans.</p>
<p>There is also a great need for flood relief projects but it is out of our economic reach.  So we need your help for all these projects.  Our vision is that the Christian people will flourish here in Pakistan.</p>
<p>If you are able to help us then we will write in detail of our programs for the poor Christian people suffering in Pakistan.</p>
<p>Mighty Lord Jesus Christ give you more power and vision for these noble deeds.</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>TO SERVE WITH LOVE TO ONE ANOTHER.</p>
<p>CHAIRMAN Cina Church Ministry in Pakistan,</p>
<p>Najum Uddin</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CHARLOTTE, N.C. /Christian Newswire/ &#8212; Equipped with evangelism training and filled with a passion for the Gospel, Christians across the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico this year opened their homes for meetings and witnessed a combined total of 69,188 make commitments to Jesus Christ. The gatherings were a part of My Hope, a ministry of the Charlotte, N.C.-based <a href="http://www.billygraham.org">Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA)</a>. The projects were the largest evangelism outreaches in the history of both the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.</p>
<p>&#8220;These faithful Christians took a bold step in inviting their friends and neighbors to their homes, and God truly worked through their efforts and prayers,&#8221; said Bill Conard, director of international ministries for BGEA. &#8220;Projects like this show that evangelism is not only for pastors, but for anyone who longs for those around them to experience the hope and love found only in Jesus Christ.&#8221;</p>
<p>After months of preparation, the programs culminated in a combined total of more than 59,000 home events in March and April, which included a TV program featuring a sermon from Billy or Franklin Graham and a personal testimony from the host. In the Dominican Republic, 55,391 people made commitments to Christ, with 13,797 doing so in Puerto Rico. Altogether more than 5,500 churches from across the evangelical spectrum were involved in the projects.</p>
<p><span id="more-923"></span>&#8220;Collecting results from all churches often takes weeks, and we just recently received the final numbers from Puerto Rico,&#8221; said Conard. &#8220;During that time follow-up efforts were made to help new believers become involved in a local church body and thereby grow in their faith.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve been so encouraged by the stories we&#8217;ve heard,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;One small, 70-member church in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, held 11 home meetings as part of My Hope. Of the 71 who attended the gatherings, 62 made commitments to Jesus Christ &#8211; most of them first-time decisions.&#8221;</p>
<p>Since My Hope began in 2002, such projects have been implemented in 50 countries. Upcoming projects this year will take place in Malawi and four sensitive countries in Asia. Preparations are beginning for 2011, for potential My Hope outreaches in Portugal, Spain, Haiti and select African countries.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Washington, D.C. – <a href="http://www.persecution.org">International Christian Concern (ICC)</a> has learned that on June 3, fourteen Muslims attacked a pastor, his pregnant wife, and his brother in Sahiwal, Pakistan.</p>
<p>Mumtaz Masih, pastor of the Full Gospel Church of Pakistan, and his wife Noreen came under attack after Muslims accused them of evangelism.</p>
<p>Imam Maqsood Ahmed allegedly led the assault, injuring the pastor’s legs and his wife’s hands and belly. The younger brother of the pastor was ambushed when he went to get medical help for his wounded brother and sister-in-law.</p>
<p>The Christians complained about the attacks to the police, but the police took no action against the perpetrators.</p>
<p><span id="more-511"></span>ICC’s Regional Manager for South Asia, Jonathan Racho, said, “We strongly condemn the violence against pastor Mumtaz and his family. Pakistani Christians come under attack from Muslims for expressing their faith in Christ. In our conversation with Pastor Mumtaz and many other persecuted Christians in Pakistan, the persecuted believers have repeatedly told us their determination to stand for their faith despite the persecution.”</p>
<p>Please contact the embassy of Pakistan in your country and ask the Pakistani officials to bring the perpetrators of the attack against pastor Mumtaz and his family to justice.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-70" src="http://gatheredtogether.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/internetevangelsimdaycom.gif" alt="" width="151" height="151" /></p>
<p>&#8220;I recently discovered that over 500,000 of the population of my home town use the networking website Facebook,&#8221; writes a surprised computer user. Remarkably, 1.5 billion people now access the Web for a wide range of activities. A new internet service called ‘Twitter&#8217; recently enabled eyewitnesses to pass on to thousands of other people their firsthand accounts (with pictures) of the jet that ditched in the Hudson River, well before TV and radio could tell the story. The digital world seems to change every time we blink!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>How can Christians use this bewildering mix of technologies to share the good news? One place to find answers is Internet Evangelism Day&#8217;s website. It provides detailed resources, ideas and strategies to help Christians use what many leaders have called a &#8216;God-given medium&#8217;. These include a self-assessment tool for church websites, enabling them to better reach out into their communities.</p>
<p><span id="more-59"></span></p>
<p>Internet Evangelism Day  as the name suggests  is also an annual web-awareness focus day. Churches and other Christian groups can build a short focus spot into their meetings on 26 April, to explain to their members more about the potential for online evangelism, and how anyone can be involved in this rewarding ministry. A customized presentation (anything from 5 minutes to 50) can be easily created using free downloads from <a href="http://InternetEvangelismDay.com">IE Day&#8217;s website: video clips, Powerpoint, handouts, music and drama</a>.</p>
<p>One surprising fact is that online evangelism is for anyone, not just the technically gifted. &#8220;There are many ways to share your faith online, without any technical knowledge at all,&#8221; says IE Day Coordinator Tony Whittaker.</p>
<p>Church leaders who have already used these materials are excited. &#8220;This is a huge help for small churches such as ours,&#8221; writes a minister from California. &#8220;I am glad to commend Internet Evangelism Day,&#8221; says elder statesman John Stott.</p>
<p>IE Day&#8217;s website is at <a href="http://InternetEvangelismDay.com">InternetEvangelismDay.com</a>.</p>
