- The other experience that makes the chapter in Isaiah rich for me right now is the connection that it has with Doug Nichols, the President of Action International Ministries. Doug is the man who wrote to Tom Steller last summer and suggested that our church get an airplane and take a couple hundred people to Rwanda to help bury the dead so that doctors and nurses could do what they were sent to do. He spoke at our Pastors Conference a week or so ago, and gave one of the most stirring messages I have heard in a long time. Action International specializes in reaching street children around the world. To show you the kind of person he is he wrote me last week to thank me for the conference and put a PS at the bottom of his letter: In the last one minute that it possibly took you to read this letter, 28 children died of malnutrition and diseases that could have been easily prevented. 1,667 die every hour, 40,000 children die daily! Please pray with ACTION for more missionaries to take the Gospel to these children.
Seems to me that God may be answering that prayer.

I know that Ligonier is continuing to expand their ministry, but I'm not sure how far that's extended into some of the poorer third world nations at this point.
If I'm not mistaken, Evangelism Explosion is still currently working in Rwanda.

"Seems to me that God may be answering that prayer." Than perhaps Pastor Warren's time would be better spent elsewheres?
