"The Hindu Nationalists say, 'India should be Hindu' period. So, any religious minority--including Muslims, including Christians, including other faiths--should not have a place." The ministry is launching an official response this week. "Open Doors is going to be releasing an advocacy campaign that will be directed to the Indian government to step in and help protect the rights of its own citizens there in Orissa who are Christians," says Moeller. Please pray for Open Doors' partners who are on the ground in Orissa. "What it does to missions, in general, is it puts a great deal of concern and fear into individuals," says Moeller. "Church planters within the Indian society are more cautious. But I can say from my conversations with other mission organizations that are directly involved in church planting there, the work goes forward." ]]> Fri, 05 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://mnnonline.org/article/11630 http://mnnonline.org/pt/article/11634 Mission Aviation Fellowship serves Haiti with aviation and other services. MAF's Will White speaking from Haiti says survey flights revealed the entire city of Gonaives is under water, which is affecting their work. "[Our] Gonaives air strip is under about eight feet of water. Our other airstrips around the country report that they are fine -- just a bit muddy. We've basically been shut down for our normal operations for a couple of days now. [Thursday was] the first day authorities are actually letting us file flight plans to get to our other airstrips." Water-borne diseases are the next concern. Pray for the victims as well as for pilots and others who are trying to help. "We're flying a lot of non-Christian relief personnel like the Red Cross and government officials. We slap a headset on them so we can talk while we're flying them out and witness to them about Christ. We might not get that opportunity in other ways."

But there's not much to go back to, and some of them are leaving. There's progress in that direction, but the process is very slow." Rouster is launching a vision trip for a team of American volunteers at Christmas. Why? Rouster explains, "I just felt so impressed that we're to bring people back at Christmas and let them share the love and the hope of the Christmas story of God sending His Son to earth with these children, and at the same time, actually see firsthand the conditions and participate in doing something to help alleviate them." Applications are due October 15.

Most recently, they took a group of unsaved college students rafting to help them practice their English. This opens up doors to share the Gospel. Pray that through these new relationships, the students will build a lasting connection with the local church. ]]> Fri, 05 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://mnnonline.org/article/11632
