--
BEFORE: There were known indigenous gatherings of saints in 2 countries.

BEFORE: Language Congregations in English, Amharic, Arabic, Korean, Indian congregations, & Urdu (maybe some other expatriate groups).
NOW: NEW meetings that worship using: Tagalog, Tamil, Chinese, Vietnamese, Nepalese, Local dialects.
SIGNS OF THE TIME: A major terrorist attack in New York City carried out mainly by Arabian nationals, as well as a number of martyrs in the Arabian Peninsula & an international call to war against a country neighboring the AP.
SINCE GOD's PEOPLE HAVE CRIED OUT: The Good News is increasingly getting into the households of national & regional leaders through times of travel, mourning, study, tragedy, celebrations, etc.

Year 1: The 7 countries & some primary issues – booklet, bookmark, video – VHS.
Year 2: 28 different cities of the AP or where Arabians visit – booklet, brochure, DVD.
Year 3 (Lord, willing - 2007): Key unreached people groups of the AP.
