(Answers are below)

Born Again While Pastor Ude and I were going through customs at the Lagos airport one lady official asked if Pastor Ude was born again. She was likely meaning if he had an experience at some point in his life after he came of an age of accountability. Of course, if that is what she meant we know the problems with that question. The answer is “Yes, I am born again from water and the Word and it happened when I was a little baby. And as I have been growing ever since, I have had many phases in my Christian life when He has very clearly carried me through…”

It is a joy to read in a Jan. 14th report from the Masai District of the CLCEA Tanzania/Kenya) the following baptism report about how the water and the Word are applied to all ages.
* Dec. 30th – 15 adults, 6 children, 2 infants baptized at Olmapinu, * Jan. 1st – 7 ” 4 ” 1 ” ” ” Inkiito * Jan. 1st – 8 ” 6 ” 5 ” ” ” Enkusero * Jan. 2nd – 5 ” 6 3 ” ” ” Society
The only point of regret in the report was that they were short of transport money to cover more of the stations at the time. This district stretches into Kenya from Tanzania. As we see on the news the violence in the post election time in Kenya, let us rejoice that as this report evidences people are being born anew through water and the Word even while death claims others.

Prayer Pastors Ohlmann and Ude are going on a mission trip to Nepal in May. Pray to the Lord that the discussions with Pastor Raju there result in agreement on the Word. Nepal is a basically Hindu country. We pray that we might be able to have a part in reaching out to people who do not know the Christ. It is a country famed for its hard fighting Gurkha soldiers. May those who witness in this country have a spiritual stamina to carry life and peace in Christ to the people. Mission Helper Larry Dassow from the United States has arrived in India to help our brothers in their churches. Pray that he has good health and joyful experiences.
