REGIONS BEYOND. I pray regularly for a wide range of people, missions and ministries. One which I have supported for years is MAF UK Flying for Life. They recently flew some missionaries from Western Mongolia into the Altai region of Siberia and established a new young Christian congregation. Of the 29 ethnic groups in Mongolia 23 remain unreached with the gospel.

In all we have 6 outstanding requests for Bibles for Nigeria from last year, which with different prices in different areas totals 1,190 Bibles at a cost of £ 1,740. I have warned the last 3 requests that we may not be able to help them, or it might be 2017 or 2018 before we can, and I'm not accepting any more requests until these have been supplied.
We did have a deficit which I am paying off and should clear by April
We have a request for 120 more books for the Lighthouse Library in Nigeria which will cost about £200
Our balance of funds is £20 in the bank keeping the account open, and £20.10 pence in cash.
If we could not do more, we have since 2011 been enabled to supply 8,388 Bibles to Nigeria,
434 to Zambia, 55 to Malawi, 138 across Iran, North Korea, China, Palestine, Estonia, and Ukraine.
So that's 9,015 people have Bibles to use, that did not have them 5 years ago.
ZAMBIA We've had no communication from the Prison in Zambia since a letter last August and no news from Nchelenge, but someone emailed from there recently to tell me that postage from Nigeria rose 400% in 2015 making it difficult for them to continue contact.
MALAWI / MOZAMBIQUE Our friend Enock Dimba and his 3 colleagues begin on March 25th Four months itinerary to 80 village churches in those 2 countries, preaching, teaching, open air meetings, discipling, baptising, distributing Bibles and other Christian literature, encouraging pastors and showing the Jesus film. Last year over 2,000 decisions for Christ were recorded This mission this year including keeping the car on the road and fuelling it will cost 3,225,000 Malawi Kwacka a lot to them but in UK currency £1.917 pounds. They also seek £10 a month sponsors for their 460 orphans. They are building more accommodation and showers and loos, they have built a water tower and plan water tanks as their maize crop has been spoiled by drought
I am also still able to help and encourage people locally and through
CAMEO CLUB, TENANTS FORUM, FOUR ACRES COMMUNITY, THE LIGHTHOUSE WEB BOARD SITE & FACEBOOK
