Life on the road is adventure-filled, and we thank the Lord for thousands of miles logged safely. Late Thursday night, the alternator of our 1993 Taurus with over 360,000 miles stopped working in Alabama. Verlin made it to the next exit, then had to cut the lights to keep the car running. On 'Googling', he 'happened' to find two auto parts stores were on that street. The nearest was closed, but the second had a part in stock for the infrequent engine size if he could get there. Then the car just 'happened' to die before a parked police officer who drove Verlin the remaining mile to the second store. The manager, who just “happened” to have recently replaced the same on a friend's similar model, volunteered to install it freely with his tools. We prayed and shared Christ's counsel about suffering and healing. Of course, none of this just “happened.” The Lord always provides.
Today we think of our many missionary friends and the staff at Free Will Baptist International Missions who also travel extensively to promote the April 26 World Mission Offering (WMO). May the offering bountifully meet the needs of IM ministries around the world! Although we no longer work or partake together in the same organization, we count them dear co-laborers in the Lord’s harvest and wish all who carry the Gospel of Peace to others the encouragement from blessed supporters.
And speaking of logging miles, we read good news earlier this month. The Cote d’Ivoire airport has finally met the requirements to have direct air flights from the United States to Abidjan. Hopefully this will bring ticket costs down $200 to $400 per ticket, as it did on direct flights in neighboring countries. And we won’t complain when the flight time drops 4 to 8 hours, either.
Thank you for faithfully praying and giving. Through our combined efforts, may His will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Your partners in the gospel,
Verlin and Debbie

Divide and Conquer
PDF Version : Anderson_WEEKLY_150418
As we write, a memorial service just occurred for the pastor of the FWB church in the Abobo region of Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire. The Lord chose to heal his cancer which was discovered last year by giving him an incorruptable body in heaven. Pastor Assebian Badou leaves behind a beloved wife, young children, and a congregation that grieves his absence. He always exemplified a great passion to reach the unsaved of Abobo.
We as a couple are practicing the art of “dividing and conquering” for a few weeks. Verlin’s travels have and will take him to North Carolina, West Virginia, Tennessee, and Florida. Debbie flies to Arizona in a week for 5 days of conference, and then drives to Idaho from there. That part of the USA is new territory for her to travel. Please pray for traveling mercies for us both.
This week we also want to thank the Lord for the encouraging number of individuals and churches who have recently committed to become regular ministry partners, for friends who have received us warmly in their homes, for the stranger who provided a free oil change, and for the friend who provided a week of hotel lodging for Debbie to attend the International Wholistic Missions Conference. All of these blessings are not for our sake, but so that we, in turn, can share His saving health among the nations (Psalm 67)! Thanks for your part in making that possible.

The Pillars of CHE
PDF Version : Anderson_WEEKLY_150411
Sometimes when people hear the term Community Health Evangelism (CHE), they think of numerous ministries they know which share the Good News and provide medical care. They wonder if and how CHE is different.
There are Core Principles that are non-negotiable in a CHE outreach. They are the reason that teams all over the world have seen dramatic community changes and tens of thousands of people saved. A friend with Medical Ambassadors International who recently visited flourishing CHE ministries in Asia reminded us of the core values being like a water tower with legs. Remove one or more legs, and you may have tottering results. These eight are sometimes reformulated to be fewer in number due to efforts of continuous improvement.
1. Integration of spiritual and physical (example: people will not use the lessons about cleaning their water if they do not believe God gave them the authority to manage the creation)
2. Community ownership (enduring change requires local people taking responsibility)
3. Multiplication (teach faithful workers who will teach others who will teach others…)
4. Participatory learning (people discover answers and solutions
themselves while trainers focus on repeatable teaching by example, not just the doing)
5. Focus on prevention (i.e. prevent malaria using mosquito nets, removing standing water, etc., rather than obliging frequent malaria treatments)
6. Mature Leadership (people who know the Creator manage best his creation)
7. Development not Relief (people find successful, sustainable solutions and they find the credit together for managing their futures)
8. Local resources (use what the Lord has provided locally to bring transformation)
As you pray and give, remarkable growth in God’s kingdom is happening around the world. We are so blessed to be your ambassadors in West Africa using the tool of CHE.

Hope Rising
As we praise Jesus for resurrection life He makes available to all, we rejoice for lives He is changing in the U.S.A. Share this 1 minute, 38 second video to know of Community Health Evangelism (CHE) in the USA. Multitudes have been brought to Christ and neighborhoods
transformed around the world with this wholistic outreach. Why not in our own country too?
This is from our friends at the Collaborative for Neighborhood Transformation (CNT). CNT, like CHE, takes the practice of living God’s Word from house to house. Believers today use it in more than ten U.S. cities. That number is anticipated to double to more than twenty in 2015.
This resurrection Sunday, pray that Jesus revive the USA.
To God be the glory,
Verlin and Debbie Anderson
I cannot tell why He, the Joy of Heaven,
Should give Himself to suffer for my sin,
Why Holy God should love me in my shamefulness,
Why He should die to draw my soul to Him.
But this I know: that Christ the Lord is risen,
And praise His name, He’s risen now in me!
Because He lives, I’ll rise to live eternal.
He took my guilty heart, and I’m forever free!
