Word just in from a missionary couple in the Baja...
Yesterday, Art brought home a small bag of groceries. It made me cry. He had just finished his weekly Bible study with a very poor family who live illegally in a dry river bed. This family is at very high risk. The father is an illegal immigrant from Central America and has a violent past. The mother has been unfaithful to him several times. M. and F. have three teen-aged children, one of whom is not his. They are not married, but they want to learn how to walk with God. They asked Art to give them a weekly Bible study. They want to change. To express their appreciation for his investment, they gave Art the small bag of groceries. For them, it had cost a great deal of their precious money. Please pray for their spiritual growth as a family.

Sometimes in places where Believers are few, they bear a stronger resemblance to Jesus. Japan is one of those places and Midori is one of those Believers.

The “Sonrise Café’” is a new ministry recently opened by TEAM missionaries in Tokyo. The café’ exists to bring Japanese into genuine relationships with Jesus through those whom He has redeemed. There, Midori’s humble, loving service has found her favor in the eyes of a patron... |

Wow! That's amazing!
Corn “test plots” planted in northern Pakistan by TEAM agricultural advisers have yielded harvests 10 times greater than fields sown and cultivated in the traditional method for the area. The traditional method is to simply broadcast seed by hand over a plot of ground and then plow it under. Local Pakistani farmers watched with obvious skepticism as TEAM advisers invested what appeared to be excessive time and effort in the planting process, placing seeds in neat rows, nine and a half inches apart and two and a half inches deep.
But eyebrows were raised again, this time in amazement, when the harvest results came in. In the traditionally sown field, 33 kilograms of seed produced a yield of 510 pounds of corn per acre. In the test plot next door, where only two and a half kilos of seed were planted in rows, the yield was 5,474 pounds per acre.
