Unconfirmed reports of rewards to kill Christians in India
Missions Network News - Thu, 11/20/2008 - 00:00
India (MNN) -- The All-India Christian Council says Hindu extremists have offered a bounty on Christian heads. Dave Stravers is with Grand Rapids, Michigan-based Mission India. While he couldn't directly confirm the report, he says, "It is entirely in keeping with our observations on the ground. Every town, village and city has posters that immortalize the swami who was killed, who had urged the extinction of Christians. On every poster it says, 'Stop conversions.'" Rather than settling down, it looks like another wave of violence is coming. "There was a huge rally, about ten thousand people, and they're urging the government, 'Stop the Christians', and they promised that they would launch another attack by Christmas Day." Stravers says the're shifting their resources to safer areas of ministry. "Christians cannot gather openly. In this case, it's best to not be provocative. So, the literacy classes and some of the Children's Bible Clubs have been stopped, and some of church planters have been reassigned to other locations."

Christian involvement with medical skills training proves valuable to Ghana
Missions Network News - Thu, 11/20/2008 - 00:00
Ghana (MNN) -- Myron Aldrink with International Aid says the medical training hospital they built in 2005 with several other partners is improving the medical situation in Ghana. "This group of partners is a combination of corporations, universities, NGO's and government that have gotten together in Ghana with the purpose of better training the doctors in West Africa to better take care of the health care needs in that area." The medical center is responding in part to the loss of over half of the doctors who are leaving the country for higher pay. The Institute is taking advantage of technology to expand their skills training and looking at growth plans that includes a Long Distance Learning program. "What is trained in Ghana could be sent to Nigeria, Benin, and all the rest. Long distance learning is also an innovation that we plan to develop in the next year or so." International Aid is using their position as a Christian institute to provide excellent healthcare while being a light for Christ.

School in Bolivia reaches out to community
Missions Network News - Thu, 11/20/2008 - 00:00
Bolivia (MNN) -- Next, an MK school is reaching lost children with the Gospel in Bolivia, South America. Betsy Phillips is a missionary with The Mission Society. She's serving as the elementary school chaplain at the Santa Cruz Christian Learning Center. While the school was started 30 years ago for missionary kids, that's not the case anymore, says Phillips. "It has grown since then, though. It now has an outreach to families there in Santa Cruz. Half the student population are missionary kids from a number of different mission organizations, but the other half comes from the area in Santa Cruz, Bolivia." According to Phillips, this is an incredible missions opportunity. "Some of the students obviously come from non-Christian homes. Many of them come from middle or upper class families. So we have an opportunity to impact students with the message of Jesus Christ and see them take that home to their families." She says as students grow in their faith, they'll become the next generation leaders who could see society transformed for Jesus.
