SUNDAY'S GUEST Alecia Brennan, who has been a missionary to Israel, will be the guest on America's Silent Ambassadors, this Sunday, March 4, at 2 p.m., on station WIBG, 1020AM radio dial. Remember, you can listen simultaneously online at www.wibg.com if you live outside the broadcast area.

Heads Up!

Alecia, a Cape May County social worker, will be of enormous interest to those who are burdened with the conversion of Israel. You may be more than a little surprised at her candor when she speaks about her experiences there. Even more riveting is her admission that she disobeyed the two rules missionaries must never break, and how she survived.

Of special note is Alecia's interest in Messianic Judaism, citing New York Times best-selling author ("The Last Days" and "The Last Jihad") Joel C. Rosenberg's non-fiction book, "Epicenter: Why The Current Rumblings In The Middle East Will Change Your Future," published 2006.

PRAISE THE LORD! John and Sharon Harvey, of ASELSI Ministry in Guatemala, Mexico and Ecuador, will be featured at Greentree's World Missions Conference that will run from Sunday, March 11, through Sunday, March 18, 2007. Also featured will be missionary Lucinda Wills, plus special presentations and events. Conference schedule brochures are available at Greentree Church.

This past December and January, the Father's Heart Clinic, run by Sharon Harvey, RN, was able to help seven of their Milk Program children (more than 260 were seen each month last year) with "one of the greatest Christmas Gifts of all -- a fixed lip or a new palate." The cost of running the clinic last year, not including medications or vitamins given, was $27,096.

YOUR PRAYERS ARE REQUESTED We look forward to the safe return of the Tower of Hope evangelism/medical/construction mission team that went to Uganda last month. Please pray that their efforts are blessed and that they will have many inspirational moments to share with us. Praise!

Yvonne Parr is overjoyed that her sister will visit with her and Les very soon. Yvonne reported that their H.E.L.P. program in war-torn Rwanda, Africa, now has 53 students in the program. They were anticipating only 24 and, needless to say, they are short of supplies. Please pray that the Lord will supply the needed finances for supplies.

Richard Walton, of SEND International, returned home last month after his recent trip to Bulgaria to teach Missions at the United Theological Faculty program in Sofia and Varna. He has asked for prayer for the staff at UTF "as they carry on the program and see the students develop for effective ministry in Bulgaria, the Balkans and Beyond."
