The Global Teen Challenge Team was received in Manila with much fanfare and great hospitality. Receptions with city and government leaders as well as the mayor, highlighted a powerful visit.
Following the ministry, Dr Nance returned to the USA and we moved on to Thailand. Jim and Kathie Lowans have been working with Pastor Preecha and a committed team to launch Teen Challenge here.

The New Manila Teen Challenge center was dedicated with Dr Randy and Dana Rowe as well as Pastor Rey and Eva Bernardese who will direct the center. They have stepped up in a powerful way to launch the New Teen Challenge. |
|
| Government leaders are so excited about Teen Challenge in Manila that there is discussion of additional locations for TC around the island. |

Black Waters...
...deadly snakes |
As we looked at the "black river" that flows through the TC property in Valenzuela City, it is dark and mysterious. |
|
| As they cleaned the property to be occupied by Teen Challenge students, workers encountered a huge anaconda in the undergrowth. It came up from the black waters of the river that flows along side the TC property.
As I looked at the spot where workers found the 5 meter (15 foot long) snake, I thought of areas of life we all deal with. After creation there were snakes in the garden so it should not surprise us if they show up at a TC or our lives. Teen Challenge workers set out with machetes (left) clearing underbrush for the safety of the students.

Teen Challenge Thailand will provide a place where young men can overcome life-controlling addictions. A one acre property with a house in Kao Chai Son is being considered for their first residential Center.  |
In Thailand, the most abused drugs are Marijuana (Yarsaens) and Meth Amphetamine, once known as YaMah-(literally, "makes you strong like a horse.") Now it is called Bah Mah which means crazy medicine. They estimate that there are up to two million YaBa addicts and small-time dealers in Thailand.
A glance at the trash can each morning along the waterway ghetto communities supplies the picture of the leftovers of last night's abuse. From beer bottles to energy drinks abused the previous night, the children sort through the trash looking for remains. Without Teen Challenge they will fall into this empty life of addiction.
Drug addiction has reached epidemic proportions in Thailand, but, in its determination to wipe it out, the government has unleashed bloodshed on a scale not seen in this country for more than a decade.Over 1,200 dealers were recently "accidentally" fatally wounded during a drug sweep. This is a new dawn for Thailand. Teen Challenge will offer hope, real life change, and the opportunity for life, not death. Please pray as they identify opportunities to engage the needs and minister the gospel in Thailand.

PARTNER
PRAYER
FOCUS FOR
JANUARY |
1) PLEASE PRAY for continued wisdom and resources to accomplish the recommendations and strategy formulated by leaders from 6 continents during the Global Teen Challenge World board meeting last week. Cathy and I are awaiting a few details to fashion the skeleton of our 2011 evangelism schedule. |
|
2) Please pray for traveling mercies for team members as they began to disperse from the Southeast Asia mission and head back to the United States over the course of the next week.
PRAY FOR EGYPT
3) As a matter of course, I avoid discussion of political issues in intercession but recent developments in Egypt have forced me to prayerfully intensify intercession for Egypt. This e-mail from some Teen Challenge workers in the middle east challenged me to trust God for real peace- not joining the ranks who cry, "Peace peace, when there is no peace." CLICK FOR EGYPT REPORT
CAPE TOWN 2010 PARTICIPANT ARRESTED IN IRAN
Farshid Fathi, who was with us at Cape Town 2010, was recently arrested by Iranian authorities because of his Christian faith. He was one of 70 Iranian believers arrested by government security forces on 26 December. According to Elam Ministries, Farshid, like the thirteen others still being held, has been in solitary confinement and subjected to numerous hours of interrogation.

Pray for workers for the Harvest ...Teen Challenge Centers in 86 countries need staff and we currently have invitations to start Teen Challenge in 43 nations. They are crying out for help. They need the power of God to meet a pressing social need... but we know it has a SPIRITUAL ROOT.
We offer SPIRITUAL RESOURCES to meet the need. MATTHEW 9: 37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. |
