The fastest way to finish the
Great Commission task is to start work in

A Glimpse of Eternity. A True Story by Ian McCormack told on line at http://www.ianmccormack.com, or from Christian Bookshop.

We are commanded to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
The UK Saltshakers site run by a Jewish believer in Jesus [Steve Maltz who wrote the Bible games about the Easter week] working with a Gentile Christian has essays on the ownership of the land of Israel, apologetic essays on Messianic prophecy [excellent for faith strengthening Bible study] and info on praying for Israel. Also lists all the British sites outreaching to Jewish people where more info like this can be found. http://www.saltshakers.com . Some of the sites are run by Jewish believers [Messianic Jews]. Steve Maltz has brought out [2003] a book The Land of Many Names..Towards a Christian understanding of the Middle East conflict. Gary M Burge has brought out another book Whose Land? Whose Promises? What Christians are not being told about Israel and the Palestinians [2003].
Site about Messianic Jews in Israel http://www.caspari.com Click on Media review.
Also the USA intellectual apologetic site reaching out to Muslims http://answering-islam.org lists in its links USA Messianic Jewish sites from which some info can be gleaned. There are an amazing number of Messianic Jewish sites in the USA http://www.messianic.com http://www.workmatch.nl/workmap/links_naar_de_bron/MessianicJewishWebSites.htm http://users.eastlink.ca/~nertamid/MJAC.HTM [Messianic Jewish Alliance of Canada].
I assure Muslims that we Christians have a duty of care to them as well, and feel seriously disturbed by their troubles both in Israel and elsewhere. On both sides the non combatants are suffering. It seems from reading in newspapers that the Palestinians view the building of Jewish settlements on the West Bank and the shooting of stone throwing young people as the main provocations while the Jewish people constantly fear invasion and annihilation. Whatever is claimed as to whose land it is it is desperately necessary to remember no one owns any land, all of us are temporary residents in this world just as Abraham was, and we need to show kindness to our neighbour. Which the Torah commands [to treat the foreigner as one of yourselves]. As for Muslims, many feel the Quran can be interpreted to make efforts at peace while some feel war is advocated. Sadly I feel that if more care was shown to their people that they would soft pedal the war talk. Finally the Gospel [New Testament to us, Injil to Muslims] advocates non aggression and humanitarian aid in abundance with strenuous efforts to avoid conflict. We Christians have failed seriously. We must do better. Earnest frequent prayer plus whatever humanitarian aid we can give must supplement our Gospel message wherever we go with it.

ASIA HARVEST [May 2010] http://www.asiaharvest.org says: If I could take you through the streets of large cities like New Delhi, Mumbai, Hanoi, Kathmandu, Dhaka, Bangkok, Lhasa or Karachi, you would be overwhelmed by the poverty, mayhem, demonic oppression, and almost complete lack of knowledge of Jesus..After more than 20 years in Asia we are still overwhelmed when we visit such places..in rural areas hundreds of millions of people continue to live in complete spiritual darkness..in China 200 minority groups remain unreached, untold millions in the cities..Tibetans live trapped in demonic darkness, captive to powerful evil forces.

Cambodia. SAO Cambodia http://www.sao-cambodia.org/ http://www.chabdai.org
A new idea is supporting national workers through UK or USA support organisations. Sponsoring children is fine, but how about sponsoring selected workers in the hope of achieving a lot more? Sponsoring immediately suggests an affordable amount e.g.£5 per month and results in correspondence with the worker and a sense of ownership of the work which is often lacking. Also national workers are often far more suited to pioneer work than Westerners and will go to more unpleasant places! Worldshare is one such organisation mentioned above. Novi Most International has just started this, see site address above. Have a look at the USA national worker support ministries at http://www.christianaid.org and http://www.globaladvance.org
Second hand Christian books and now technical and science books are collected by Book Aid, helped by organisations like Christian Literature crusade and OM who take in books, and distributed in [mainly] Africa. http://www.bookaid.org/
Well known secular organisations for abused people include Amnesty International http://www.amnesty.org.uk/, UNICEF Save the Children Fund http://www.unicef.org and http://www.supporterzone.org, Human Rights Watch [USA] http://www.hrw.org .

Working along with Tear Fund is Wateraid. http://www.wateraid.org.uk. Also at http://www.watermatters.org.uk http://www.pumpaid.org is featured in the Times nrespaper. Water is a fundamental need worldwide.

The Southern Oscillation is expected to go into the El Nino phase in 2009..this brings drought to Australia Indonesia India and Southern Africa and floods to South and North America.
There are organisations specialising in Urban, slum work. Servants to Asia's Poor [New Zealand and UK] http://www.servantsasia.org is one. The organisations for street children mentioned above are mostly Urban. I expect that databases of Urban ministry organisations will emerge soon. An excellent overview of the Urban poor is the article from Lausanne Congress of World Evangelism, Thailand, 1980.Brilliant read. By the way, a quite different concept is Urban evangelisation, where it is recognised that the Church must expand in the great cities of [mainly] Asia where most of the population is, including the not poor.

NOTES ON EVANGELISM AND MISSION
AN OUTLINE
1.Pray for:
Missionaries of your own church and countries where your denomination's missionaries are working.
Your part of the world. Your own town and county, the UK, and your own continent Europe. [Think big!].
Divide the world into areas for prayer e.g. Europe and West Asia, Africa, South Asia, East Asia, Americas and Australasia ! One possibility-Start with the News and go onto the materials listed below.
2.Support
Aid/Persecuted Church
Bible Translation
Radio and TV [Satellite]
Literature distribution or Films or Audio Cassettes.
3.Adopt a people group.
Groups over 10,000- The Joshua list of unreached peoples of over 10,000 persons.
Groups under 10,000-The remaining unreached people groups of under 10,000 persons.
4. Evangelism- outreach to people near to you. Think big!
Materials from evangelism organisations. See list below.
Consider making your own tracts, audio tapes, CDs and videos for local use.
Distribution-door to door, booktables etc.
Church based events. Sunday schools. Adult groups etc.
THE CHURCH.
Personal-Prayer, Faith and Thanksgiving,The Bible and Obedience.
Prayer
Personal life: Continuing in Repentance and Faith guided by the Bible
Praise: Thanksgiving to God
The Group-Preaching the Word, Breaking Bread, Fellowship, Prayers.
The Group's Outreach- Preach the Gospel, Heal the Sick, Cast out Demons.
Problems of the Church.
Worship and Ministry OK but need for more outreach [ evangelism and mission ].
Answers.
Unity in Spirit-cooperation between the churches of the area for evangelism and between churches and mission organisations for mission.
Local information for prayer and outreach. Worldwide information for prayer and outreach.
Suggestion: Develop contacts between all the churches; Local radio; Booktables; Leaflet distribution; Some socially relevant outreaches.Churches should make and share an evangelism website with evangelism and social support ministry combined.
CHURCH'S BIBLICAL MANDATE FOR MISSION AND EVANGELISM.
2 Cor 10.4- Faith, Prayer and Humility.
A Strategy: To try to reach 5 areas, then every country in the area. Begin with prayer
Europe and West Asia
Africa
South Asia
East Asia
Americas and Australasia
You can do it, because prayer opens doors! You don't have to do it all yourselves! God can send others to where you have prayed!

Pray for Media and Mercy outreaches in each world
MERCY MINISTRIES.
I believe that a very powerful way to advance Christianity is to perform mercy ministries such as detoxication for drug abusers, elementary health care, water purification, literacy, agricultural and other low-tech aid including micro loans, and that these combined with prayer for the target audience and provision of Christian literature or cassette tapes will go a long way to overcome the prejudice against Christianity that so often results from bad experiences.
We have three groups, the very poor [both the destitute and the abused whose cry reaches God, and we owe it to God to answer on His behalf], persecuted Christians [to whom we have a compelling duty], and those prejudiced against Christianity because of past abuses [We owe it to God and to them to remove the disgrace God's name has suffered]. Humanitarian outreach goes hand in hand with the preaching part of outreach- Bible translation and distribution via various media, and church planting.
There is increasingly the need for emergency aid for disasters, and the Christian and secular aid agencies are now coordinating their efforts as can be seen in the newspaper advertisements. It is the longer term aid that I have in mind here.
One approach is that church groups choose one country and support aid ministries together with preaching ministries-Bible translation and the various modes of distribution of the Gospel message, and pray for the country.
MERCY MINISTRIES AS MISSION.
To give joy to God in seeing lost people saved and destitute and oppressed people relieved. To bring glory to God through the thanksgiving of these people who have received help from Christians. The Lord delights in mercy and justice. Media ministries hold out God's mercy via the Gospel and mercy ministries [humanitarian aid] hold out God's justice [a fair deal] for all.
SOME MINISTRIES:
Development Aid
From the resources I have compiled it should be possible to build up a picture of where the many opportunities are in Africa and Asia for water purification, basic healthcare, agricultural and low-tech advice, and literacy improvement. This can be combined with prayer for the unreached people groups and combined with supporting organisations like Wycliffe Bible Translators, Language Recordings Intl and Every Home Crusade in their efforts to reach those groups.
The Persecuted and abused.
General Human Rights organisations include the well known Amnesty International. There are several Christian organisations specialising in helping persecuted Christians in Muslim and Communist countries, Three examples include Open Doors with Brother Andrew, Christian Solidarity International, and Barnabas Fund. Obtaining their magazines would give the basis for a prayer and support group for persecuted Christians world wide.Then there are abused people of all faiths,and children.
Drug Detox.
The two are opiates and benzodiazepines. Methadone is widely used for detox from heroin, but is only suitable for use by medically qualified helpers. Non medically qualified helpers often use dihydrocodeine. Recently lofexidine [Britlofex] has started to be widely used in prisons, and could be suitable for use by non medically qualified people provided they received instruction from GPs and the local substance abuse Psychiatrist.A danger with this drug is a drop in blood pressure which could cause fainting, a disaster if the person drove.Or they could limit themselves to non opiates and non Benzodiazepines like Brufen, Buscopan, and Phenergan. Diazepam is used for benzodiazepine detox. It could be used by non medically qualified people but in cooperation with the patients' GPs. Alcohol detox is unsuitable for non medically qualified people, and should be left to the doctors.
Symptoms of opiate withdrawal are sweating, feeling shivery, nausea vomiting abdominal cramps and diarrhoea, muscle aches and pains and insomnia [not sleeping]. Methadone takes much longer to go over than Heroin. Oddly patients complain bitterly of the insomnia, even when the other symptoms have abated.
Symptoms of benzodiazepine withdrawal are restlessness or irritability and fidgeting, sometimes visibly shaking.
Symptoms of any drug or usually a mixture of things is drug psychosis- hearing and seeing things.
Alcohol withdrawal gives the shakes, obvious when seen, often going on to hallucinations- the DTs.
It is granted by all that detox is not enough, that boredem, bad memories, and peer pressure will result in relapse. This is where faith in Jesus is offered as a Way of Life. It hardly needs to be said that healing emotional damage is a stepwise rebuild, with many stumbles along the Way! Mentoring by people who are further on is very helpful. Harsh criticism inhibits improvement, while constructive criticism with pointing out of mistakes that have been made and how to avoid them is helpful. Direction, not disapproval is what is needed.
Children Worldwide.
Here is a great opportunity for Christian women to express their mothering instinct. get a copy of WEC International's Briefing Children and see how they can help. http://www.wec-int.org/briefings .Helping women around the world struggling with all sorts of problems, too.
OUTREACH IN THE UK.
Prayer.
Regular prayer for the area to be reached. For schools, housing estates, etc within it. Prayer walking creates interest in praying for the area.
Bible reading leads to trust in God and obedience to God.
Local research creates interest in evangelism. Enquire of other churches in the area or county about their prayer groups and outreaches to encourage by exchanging information and to promote unity of minds and hearts, for working together has more impact than working in isolation.
Proclamation.
By literature distribution- seed sowing, so give out lots.
Leaflet houses with evangelistic tract.
Jesus video project.
Prayer evangelism- going door to door offering to pray at the church for a problem the family has.
Bookstalls displaying cheap booklets and children's materials.
Presence.
Church based outreaches- people meeting people.
Sunday school, adult groups, special events.
Relevant outreaches to e.g. young mothers, elderly.
Follow-up with course e.g. Alpha, house group, tapes of services.
Suggestion: List all sorts of evangelistic and outreach ideas and look for offers in the church to carry them out.
PRAYING FOR YOUR TOWN.
For the Church in the UK to repent of lack of love [lack of concern].
For the churches of the town.
For adults- well to do areas. Materialism, indifference to God are problems as well as more obvious sins.
For adults-poor areas. Lots of problems. Poverty leading to poor health and child neglect along with the sins of dishonesty, immorality, drunkenness, slander or violence, and dabbling in the occult.
For children- in all areas they are exposed to temptation to drink, take drugs, steal, have sex, dabble in the occult.
Pray for a school or schools in your town.
The demonic. Pray against the powers that keep people away from God. Jesus is the One Who has the power to break this hold among the poor, the well off and in the Church.
Pray for Christian workers and pastors.
Pray for the Government- To respect God, To follow humane social and aid policies.
Pray for people and families you know.

Do A Big Mission Project -Some suggestions:
SOME BIG MISSION PROJECTS.
1. Media outreaches to unreached peoples-Those lacking an adequate number of churches or lacking Scripture translation.
TAILENDERS Scripture selections on cassette of the languages of the very small people groups.
RADIO World by 2000- project to broadcast in all the world's languages with over a million speakers.
TRANSLATION Vision 2025-To provide NT in all languages with a need by 2025. Various agencies in partnership.
2.Helping the persecuted Church.
OPEN DOORS AND CHRISTIAN SOLIDARITY WORLDWIDE
BARNABAS FUND
ELAM [IRAN]
3. Evangelism-Media outreaches to peoples with an outreaching Church and with Scripture translation.
EVERY HOME Tracting every house in every country by 2010
JESUS FILM Translating and showing film in every language of 75000 speakers or more.
SAT 7 [TV] Satellite TV to Arab world.
EVANGELISM IN UK AND EUROPE
Build on what you've got. Many churches have some service type outreach. Add literature outreach to service. People will be more likely to read literature if they have received help or if the literature is accompanied with conversation.
Prayer groups. Home based, giving a comfortable venue.
Literature outreach teams. Maybe informal follow up will be possible.
Churches share evangelism web site. Local radio.
4. Mercy Ministries.
TEAR FUND Works through churches worldwide to provide aid and Bibles.
SINGLE COUNTRY OUTREACHES Similar to Tear Fund but concentrating on one country or area such as the Balkans.
MERCY MINISTRIES. WHAT CAN WE DO?
Think big. Jesus is returning soon. Give 10% of your time or money or both to a Big Mission Project, either on your own or as part of a group. Think of setting up prayer groups and of donating serious amounts of money to get the job done!
My suggestions to Missionary Societies: Produce a joint newspaper full of prayer and support projects and circulate to churches via their denominational HQs; Have Mission presentations in morning services; Everyone who writes into the mission should be asked to be a rep for the mission to the churches of their local area. Place the newspaper [and a free CD shared by all the Missions] in Christian bookshops, and at Christian conferences as well as sending to churches.
Reviews of seriously unreached areas peoples and cities for earnest prayer with large amounts of info maps etc. First in overview [basic prayer and support such as donations to general funds of mission] then a zoom to more detailed prayer and support with all the people groups and cities of a country or area. E Mail newsletters, Web sites and CDs. Maybe interactive Forums including indications as to which groups have been adopted by at least one church.
Media Ministries [Bible translation and distribution in all formats] are fundamental but Mercy Ministries go together with them not one or the other. Media and Mercy projects should be packaged for adoption by churches.
Finally essays on the Christian life, revival and prayer and Bible studies relevant to Mission.

Example GENESIS 1-11.. Why was this particular selection, for brief selection it is, given to the original readers? To counter the current polytheistic [Hinduistic] world view. Forget worrying about evolution. You can have your cake and eat it- Genesis 1 talks about Let the Earth bring forth.. which if you want it would accommodate evolution! Genesis 2-3 lays down essential moral truths, including the first of many remarkable prophecies about the coming of a Redeemer of mankind. Genesis 4-11 is God’s opinion of early civilisation which is considered to have started in the Middle East.
Example THE PROPHETS..Contain many prophecies about cities and nations in the Middle East which have been fulfilled, also many prophecies of the coming of a Divine Person, a Suffering Servant and a Conquering King, fulfilled in Jesus Who is to come again as Conquering King, of which time other prophecies await fulfilment. Only the Bible prophecies are consistently accurate. Also, by the way, many historical references in the prophets have mentions in the annals of the surrounding nations of the time.
Example THE GOSPELS.. The Gospels pass with flying colours all the tests used by lawyers to authenticate historical documents. The evidence is compelling, indeed overwhelming, that they are accurate accounts. The Gospels clearly present a Person whose claims, character and miraculous power indicate His deity as the Second Person of the Tri-Une God..This is the Rock on which Jesus would build His Church- His divine Personhood..The Church is the container for it’s awesome product, the New Testament, containing this Good News about Jesus, God’s Son.
The Nature of God
Only the Bible declares that we are made in the IMAGE of God, which means that He is sufficiently like us for real, person to person interaction to occur.
God is a plural Person- a Tri-Une God, three Persons existing in perfect harmony with each other and capable of will, understanding and emotion. Yet always by Jew and Christian viewed as One God.
The character of God- His awesome Holiness, His insistence on moral perfection together with His perfect love- a love so perfect that He gave His own life to buy forgiveness for our sins places the God of the Bible above anything else on Earth.
Right from the start the Church has called us to repent towards God, trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and to receive the Holy Spirit.
The Gospel. God’s way to be righteous [Right with God].
God declares that we are incapable of meeting His requirement to love God and to love our neighbour by ourselves, that we fall far short.
So God declares a new way to be right with God. If we surrender to God from our rebellion against and independence from Him and trust in Jesus His Son for forgiveness which is available because He died to pay for the sins of the whole world. His death was effective to pay for the whole world’s sins because of Who He is- the sinless Son of God- God Himself! We then must continue in this righteousness through continuing to trust in Jesus. Being saved is a constant continuing process of re-repenting and continuing to trust for continuing cleansing, all through the work of God’s Spirit who indwells us to help us..only the Bible says this amazing thing, that God actually indwells us..let us awake and repent of our slowness to believe!
CHURCH as three tiers..
Primary-Prayer and evangelism groups in houses to reach the area around.
Secondary-Church buildings where expertise and materials are available.
Tertiary- Mission organisations and Bible Schools.
EVANGELISM PLAN
Networking- All the Churches in contact with each other, however limited in amount, no matter, having contact is the thing that matters.
Prayer sessions- Held in rotation in different Churches to avoid competition.
Particularly valuable- Meetings of the pastors to pray together say every month or two.
Evangelism- Using all media
Literature
Video
CD
Maybe Internet Local Radio Local
TV
