Hell hole or ETG (Evangelist Training Ground)?

WEC Australia mobiliser Jim Dawson writes of a recent trip to India:

The Betel leaders took us to what I can only describe as a hell hole in the slum area outside Delhi. About 50 drug addicts, most dressed in rags, were shooting up in a small concrete warehouse. Three were in a coma, and every day some die. We crammed the first nine volunteers in a van to go back to the centre. 

As we were driving away from this devilish stronghold, Betel leader Keith prayed "Lord we submit these people to you and ask that you will raise up amongst them evangelists, pastors and teachers". Quite an incredible prayer one would think, but that's how Betel works.

I am ashamed

I am ashamed of the offence and disrespect shown by some Christians towards Muslims. One church plans to burn the Koran to commemorate 9/11. Some of my Muslim friends show more of the qualities that Christ lived and taught than, well, some who say they are followers of Jesus. How would you show respect for Muslims?

In memory of Keith Benson

A memorial service was held for Keith Benson on Tuesday 24th August at City North Baptist Church. The family have opened a memorial fund which will go towards the ongoing growth of the school in Ghana, West Africa which has been named the "Don Theobold School" (after Lynne Benson's father who pioneered WEC ministry in northern Ghana).
