The regional children’s camp in mid-July faced a hostile crowd during an evening worship time at a camp site by the ocean.

What exactly does that mean? Lets start with what it is not. Many think a missionary church planter goes to another country, does evangelism and gathers converts. The foreigner then teaches and organizes meetings while his wife runs a Sunday school. After a while, he trains a few young men to preach and then sends them to Bible College before they hopefully return to replace the missionary. This is the traditional pattern and has often resulted in churches that tend to feel alien to the local culture and rarely reproduce. text/html 2007-07-23T20:11:16+01:00 http://www.wec-hk.org http://www.wec-hk.org/content/view/55/31/lang,EN/ Following the murders of three Christian men in April, the nation of Turkey has been stunned by words of forgiveness offered by two of the men’s widows and the Christian community.

Once a month WEC teams deliver a mobile library, hearing aid and reading glass resources to sustain the small churches. “The amazing thing is that way up there in the middle of seemingly nowhere, there are nomads who are reading our books,” Jason said. text/html 2008-02-02T00:07:12+01:00 http://www.wec-hk.org http://www.wec-hk.org/content/view/58/31/lang,EN/ In Guinea Bissau, West Africa, six children have committed their lives to God after holiday Bible classes.
