To saturate the land with a beam of light from God.
A film called ‘i.am’ has been set up to assist churches to bring a glimpse of a loving, forgiving God to people of all nations. Their vision is to enable churches to go beyond their own communities to speak to people in today's culture through a unique, short, cutting edge musical and dramatic 26 minute film presentation. The film is being made available nationwide. A quote from Paul Blakey MBE, founder of Street Angels - CNI Network ‘The i.am film is fantastic! It combines stunning scenery with music, dance, rap and the story of a loving God. We will be using the film within our night-time communities, showing it in pubs, clubs, safe place drop-ins and we even have plans to show the film on the street with an invitation to one of the pop-up showings. I encourage you to plan to use this film wherever you can - people in your community need to watch this and to hear the message it gives.’
Saudi Arabian sheikhs legally importing Bibles
The following is part of a letter from a Christian buisnessman who wishes to remain anonymous. ‘For 30 years people have smuggled Bibles into the Arabian Peninsula in suitcases, been caught, deported and the Bibles destroyed. Six years ago I became a neighbour to some very powerful sheikhs. We met regularly for conversation over tea. As we talked about the Qur'an I would mention the Injil (Gospel) and the position of the Bible in the Qur'an. I challenged them to read the Injil, saying that we could not dialogue fairly as I have an unfair advantage.’ His story goes on to explain how he discussed and examined scripture with the sheikhs over a period of time which finally led to them agreeing to 25,000 copies of the Gospels and the Book of Acts to be imported and distributed amongst Muslims in Saudi Arabia.

Syria: Warfare creates a lost generation
Syria's ‘lost generation’ are children whose innocence was stolen in the Syrian conflict. It is not unusual to see a baby-faced boy with his Kalashnikov rifle balanced over his shoulder. Families have to depend on children for tasks usually performed by men. A mother of four said, ‘Their childhood has gone.’ Barrel bombs have had a devastating effect, especially in Aleppo, the city with the largest concentration of Christians. They are made from oil drums packed with explosives and bits of metal and are tossed over the sides of helicopters. Their indiscriminate devastation has forced tens of thousands to flee Aleppo this year. Many refugees have fled to Jordan. In the refugee camps in Amman, two teachers set up schools to help the children keep up their education. Even in adverse weather, the eager children huddle together, hungry to learn.
