Ostrich Ministry is Hope for South Africa
by Shawn Hendricks (bpnews.net)
Baby
ostriches -- 100 of them -- scamper in all directions, pecking at the dirt,
a stray spoon and anything that moves or glitters. In a few months, the Hanise
family will sell these birds for their meat, hide and feathers. It's a
brand-new venture for the family living in the hills outside Grahamstown,
South Africa. They see the ostriches as an opportunity to earn money and have
a shot at a better life. Bob Morris sees the birds as an entree to building
relationships, sharing the Gospel and helping start new churches among the
8 million Xhosa people living in South Africa.

Introducing Mission Strategy
by David Mays
(davidmays.org)
"Every church has a missions strategy. They may have a written strategy
that they faithfully follow. They may have a written strategy that is largely
ignored. Or there may be nothing written. In any case there are reasons and
values behind the decisions that are made to invest missions resources."
NOTE: Helpful tools for your church's missions team to explore are: "Developing
a Missions Strategy that Fits Your Church" by David Mays, and "Choosing
a Strategic Focus" by DualReach.

Translation Tiff
(christianitytoday.com)
"The Bible Society of the West Indies and Wycliffe Bible Translators
have sparked a national controversy by beginning to translate the Bible into
patois, Jamaica's Creole language. While English is Jamaica's official
language, most Jamaicans speak patois. But it does not yet have a standard
writing system. Those opposed to the translation project have argued in the
country's newspapers and other media outlets that formalizing a written
standard for patois would undercut efforts to promote Standard English."
