During each day of October 1997,
millions of believers around the world will participate in "Praying Through
the Window III (The Unreached Peoples)." In support of this strategic
initiative, World by 2000 partner Words of HOPE is pleased to offer a
two-minute daily radio program which highlights each day's list of the
10/40 Window's least evangelized peoples.
For each day of October, the "Praying Through the Window III" radio program will focus on a missions and/or prayer-related Bible passage and apply it to the specific unreached peoples targeted for intercession on that day. The programs are adapted from this October's Words of HOPE daily devotional booklet and feature a number of anecdotes drawn from World by 2000 outreach efforts throughout the 10/40 Window.
These programs will also be offered in text and RealAudio formats via Words of HOPE's web site, which will also feature links to information about each day's list of unreached peoples. (Start at http://www.wb2000.org and click your way there, or alternatively, go directly to http://www.gospelcom.net/woh/ )
Each of the 31 radio programs will be available to any interested North American stations via the Ambassador and USA Network satellite distribution systems. This special program series is also available free of charge on audio CD and analog cassette.
For more information or to order the compact disc, cassette, and/or printed booklet, contact Arnold Remtema, International Radio Research Office, World by 2000, 7899 Lexington Drive, Suite 200B, PO Box 62577, Colorado Springs, CO 80962-2577 USA, Ph: +1 (719) 548-7490 Fax: +1 (719) 548-7491, Email: Wb2000@xc.org, Web: http://www.wb2000.org.
Take a look at Intercessors Network's experiment at
http://www.crossnet.se/bonelaget.
Over 400 Chinese students and scholars came, about 200 of which were non-believers. Of this number at least 41 expressed a desire to receive Christ. Ninety-three asked to know more about God and the Bible, and another 53 asked to join an exploratory Bible study. Of the believers, 78 recommitted their lives to the Lord and 95 committed themselves to service to the Lord.... All in all, seems to have been a very successful conference!
Want to hit an ethnomusicology conference?
Try the one scheduled for October 16-17, 1997 at the International
Linguistics Center in Dallas. For more info., ask
ken-judy_hollingsworth@sil.org or call (972) 708-7517.
Two years ago the Joshua Project 2000
list of 1739 unreached people groups was unveiled. Today all but
172 of those ethnic groups have commitments for church planting by December 31,
2000. Many of these unclaimed peoples live in Sudan, Laos, or Chad, with
the rest scattered across the 10/40 Window. While there is great joy at
this progress there is also concern, both for the 172 unclaimed groups as
well as the hundreds of others who were too small or overlooked on the
original list.
