Monday, April 1 John 20:1-18 Tuesday, April 2 John 20:19-30 Wednesday, April 3 John 21:1-14 Thursday, April 4 John 21:15-25 Tips for succeeding in regular Bible reading: *Set a time and place where you will do your reading. *Place your Bible some place visible as a reminder. For example, if you are going to read in the morning, put it in front of your coffee pot. Or if you are a night reader, place it on your pillow in the morning, so it is waiting for you when you go to bed. *Track your progress by marking off readings as you complete them on the chart provided. *Make no exceptions! Vow to do it no matter what. *If you blow the last tip, then just start over from where you left off. Don’t worry about what you missed. Pick it up on a light day or on a Sunday. Most people allow catching up to be an obstacle to just getting back on track. Page 37

Country: Bulgaria Eurasia Region and Central Europe Field Bulgaria is a country of contrast. Soviet block apartments, a reminder of a generation that grew up during the “Cold War” stand juxtaposed against remnants of ancient Greek cities.

Earlier this year, Solis, who was born and raised in El Salvador, formed a church planting institute in Guatemala, in partnership with the Nazarene Bible Institute in Coban, that is designed to train 12 students at a time, who will go through 10 courses of theological education while starting one preaching point per month. By the end of each year, each student must have officially organized at least one new church. When they graduate in three years, they will be ordained, and expected to have started 36 preaching points and organized three to four new churches. The training program is being conducted in partnership with Rev. David Ac, rector of the Coban Bible Institute. Country: El Salvador Date Entered: 1964 http://mesoamericaregion.org/esp/area-ca-4/ You can subscribe to their newsletter and get more information in English or Spanish. El Salvador, like many other countries on this Region, are emphasizing church planting as a mechanism for growth and evangelism.

Country: United Kingdom Eurasia Region, Northern European Field The United Kingdom can be a difficult mission field because some say it is “Post-Christian”. I do not know exactly what that means other than to say Revival through God’s Holy Spirit is always possible and we should be praying for younger generations to respond to the call of making Christlike disciples in all the Nations including the United Kingdom where most of the missionaries were from just a few generations ago. Pray for revival! Quote of the Day: “If all mankind had been righteous and only one man a sinner, Christ would have come to endure the same cross for this one man.
