Brad & Tammie Harvey, Tanzania   We praise God that Tammie was able to attend the Forum of Bible Agencies (FOBA) meeting in Moshi and then the family was able to enjoy a short break in Dar with Brad and the children. Unfortunately her laptop computer and cell phone were stolen from their hotel room; pray as she reorganizes and adjusts to working on a variety of different computers, and gets her phone replaced and e-mail account set up on another computer.

Continue to pray for her travels as she goes to Dodoma for a trustees meeting with Safina Children’s Center on March 6-7.

Alberto & Lynette Rivas, Dominican Republic   Greetings to one and all. Just thought I'd let you in on another crazy Sunday (March 3rd) is in the Dominican Republic. Tonight we had more than 60 people for church. To say the least it was a little crazy. I had 16 children from 1 to 5. Evelin had about 30 ages 6 and up. The few remaining were adults.

I asked Alberto how many were in the van tonight and he said it was more than last week but didn't know. Cristian had eight in his car to take home. Evelin said if this continues Anyelis will have to take a third group of kids to teach.      (Lynette Rivas)

p.s. Know how many Dominicans can ride on one small motor bike? Lets see. Driver, one in front, two behind, one on each side.... This is not uncommon.

AICM, American Indian Christian Mission, Arizona   American Indian Christian School has a total of 51 students in kindergarten through 8th grades. they have students from both the Navajo and Apache reservations. AICS is always looking for degreed teachers interested in using their gifts to serve God. Their current needs include Elementary School teachers, a Middle School Language teacher, a music and an art teacher.

You may be interested in their "Needs" web page http://www.aicm.org/help/needs.htm and be able to help. Unlike our International Missionaries where the cost of shipping is a real issue, AICM is in Arizona. Shipping is comparitvely CHEAP! And their needs? They are items your Small Group or Sunday School could put together easily.

Richard & Debbie Lee, Zimbabwe   Richard and Debbie Lee's Logo The last we have heard from the Less in Zimbabwe is they are being watched and have to be careful. Their Churches are harassed and no more than three can meet together without a police permit.

Continue to Pray for the Lees.

IDES International Disaster Emergency Fund   What IDES does which is unique to relief agencies, is they put all the relief money into Missionary hands for distribution.

An example would be what they have done for the Christian Churches in Madras, Indea. There, they suppled $7,000 to these Christian Churches so they could rebuilt 185 huts after flooding.

The immediate benefit is the building of 185 huts/homes.
The long range benefit are the doors opened to Jesus Christ.

Sometimes IDES provides funds to the actual ministries themselves both Internationally and stateside such as a US Church destroyed by arsen. Recently, $6,147 was given to the White Fields Overseas Evangelism in Liberia so they could repair six churches and supply Bibles for the people there.
