AWARENESS ABOUT A.L.S. AND M.N.D. DISEASE
We're creating awareness around the World via E.Mail for A.L.S and M.N.D - which are abbreviations for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Motor Neurone Disease respectively.

Motor neurone disease (MND) is a rare condition, which is caused by the breakdown of the nerve cells in the brain that control the muscles used to move (voluntary muscles), but not the nerves dealing with sensation. The parts of the brain dealing with intelligence and awareness also remain unaffected.

There are three main types of MND, which affect different nerves:
  *  amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which affects about half of people with MND,
  *  progressive muscular atrophy (PMA),
  *  bulbar palsy - when the throat muscles are principally involved.

Unfortunately, there is currently no cure, and most people with MND will die from it within a few years. There are some notable exceptions, however. Stephen Hawking, the physicist, noticed his first symptoms – clumsiness in his hands – over 40 years ago.

The cause of this terrible illness isn’t known but dedicated research is underway to understand the causes, and develop a cure.

Please pass this message on to create much needed awareness. Please also say a prayer for all those patients, their families, carers, friends, M.N.D./A.L.S. organisations and Hospices who are affected by this devastating disease.

JUDEA HARVEST UPDATE - 1,000 TENTS IN SERVICE TO GOD!
See the following report from Judea Harvest: "The Judea Harvest outreach project is not only one of the biggest Christian outreaches in southern Africa, it is a project that transforms communities, applying a holistic ministry approach and is implemented with the 1,000 tents that have been deployed in the past six years! Judea Harvest was founded in April 1999 as an evangelistic movement to reach people in the informal settlements, as well as rural areas with the gospel. Pastor Hansie Henning says the vision is to work in the neglected areas of Southern Africa, thus taking the church to the people. More than 3,500 congregations of all denominations work together in this vision. Under the leadership of Martin Deacon, WorldTeach and its donors have contributed more than 350 tents towards the partnership. The miracle of the 1,000 tents deployed in southern Africa, costing more than 18 million Rand, was mainly paid for by local congregations and business people in South Africa. This is a remarkable investment into our communities, proving that the Christians of our nation believe in the future of South Africa, as the gospel of Christ transforms our cities, towns and villages. Judea Harvest runs workshops training pastors in teaching "GOD'S ANSWER TO AIDS"; more than a million people have been reached with this message in the Judea Tents. Judea Harvest is dreaming of implementing 3,000 tents in southern Africa and 10,000 tents all over Africa!"

KLEMA
Klema is a ministry of the DRC Summerstrand, growing out of the old "student church" ministry. Although we are defining our own separate identity it remains part of the DRC group. We are defining our church to attract seekers, and people who still believe in DRC values but are looking for a more modern (culturally relevant) way of worshipping.

NIGHT SHELTER FOR HOMELESS IN PORT ELIZABETH
We are very excited at Maranatha Streetworker Trust because after three years at the mission we will soon be able to address one of the biggest needs in Port Elizabeth. We hope to open the first night shelter in Port Elizabeth. Strange as it may seen P.E. does not have a night shelter where a destitute person can overnight – other cities and even smaller towns have night shelters. We often receive phone calls from churches or individuals inquiring where they can send someone, in need of overnight accommodation. All the ministries with more long term facilities are full most of the time and do not cater for overnight facilities. Many people on the road from other centres end up at the mission after being robbed of all their possessions.

LIVING WORD / ISONDLO SOMPHEFUMLO
This is the name of a series of booklets of daily Bible readings. Each day, there is a passage for reading; a key verse, a comment and usually a prayer. They are designed to stimulate regular personal study of the Scriptures and to provide guidance on the meaning and application of Scripture at a basic level.

Each booklet also contains three Bible Studies/ Sermons and two Questions and Answers on practical Biblical or devotional subjects. These are of interest to all Christians but were designed to provide sample Bible Studies for lay preachers with no formal training.

Books from the Old Testament and from the New are covered in a systematic way and the whole Bible is covered in three years of reading.

The booklets are A5 size, printed in black and white, with a coloured cover. They are produced quarterly in English and Xhosa and are available from Dumisani Theological Institute, 15 Leopold Street, PO Box 681, King William's Town (Tel/Fax: 043 642 4737;  ). You can purchase a one-off copy or a year's subscription. There are special terms for bulk orders.

Ideal for yourself or for giving to others whom you are trying to encourage in the faith.
