1. In the Attachment Box above you will find the Summer Camp put on by Sensei Carlos Santos. It is in August, so there is plenty of time to sign up. If you need to get in touch with Sensei Carlos, you can email him at:

c-santos@bluewin.ch

2. Below is a story I thought all of you may be lifted up by hearing. At times we all wonder if we are doing as well for the Lord as we could be. The below story shows that there are people who are changed that we are never aware of:

Dear Neal,

Thanks for your powerful example for Christ. A woman that I worked with at
Sacred Heart Hospital
had her son in Karate classes and he started to attend church because of it.
He even was invited to
the "Passion of the Christ" movie. His parents are unbelievers. I know it
is because of your ministry in
this area that this young boy was given the Gospel message and I have been
praying for him to reach
his family for Christ. I met your family long after I had known this lady
that I worked with and made the
connection in how you touched this family that maybe you aren't even aware
of. May God continue to
bless this ministry that he has given you and many of those hungering and
thirsting after Christ will find him though it!

In Christ,
Beth
3. Below are on sale by Grandmaster Tony Southard. He is a wonderfully gifted martial artist. If you need to get in touch with him in order to get any of these which are fully endorsed by me as getting your money's worth, just go to: http://www.southardcombatsystem.com/

4. The Small Movie in the attachments above named Rapture is by far worth the watching. If you Love Jesus, you will enjoy it. If not? You may not enjoy it so much. God bless!

5. The AMAU or American Martial Arts Union will begin to be built back up. In the past it was used for the Christians overseas who have to keep the fact that they are Christians off of their Certificates and paperword in order to keep their families and themselves safe. There are also many of you who are members. Watch very soon for the website and store etc.

Prayer Requests and Praise Reports

1. Praise God for this one! By the way, if you do not have Phils book, you are really missing out on a serious How To Warfare book? You can email him at: soke_lewis@yahoo.com

This is a great Praise Report and I am Glorifying the Lord for this one.

From Soke Phil:

Dear Dr. Neal,

Just writing to let you know that I will know if I have been voted in as a pastor for a small rural church in Fennville, Michigan, after this Saturday evening. I continue teaching martial arts at Cornerstone University and at a couple of church locations. I gave a gospel karate demo at a church recently in which a dozen kids accepted Christ as Savior. Also, I have many inspirational Christian Martial Arts designs on many products as well as my martial arts devotional book and a booklet on the dangers of pornography available at www.cafepress.com/ambassadorma . Blessings.

2. One of our members mother passed away not too long ago. I would request your prayers for him.

3. My daughter who is in the Army, please pray for her as she was held in what the FBI considers one of the 5 most dangerous cults in America for most of her life until she escaped. We have a very close relationship, but since she has no exposure to the world, she has to call Daddy for much advice. Prayers for protection would be appreciated. Her name is Maria.

4. There is a curse on the American people. Much of it is brought on by the diet we adhere too, but not all, the point being, many of our members, and their family are suffering with cancer of some sort. Without naming names, please pray for God to give peace to them and their families during this time. As you may remember, I went through this myself and given only 8 months to live 7 years, almost 8 years ago. Praise his name.

ANNOUNCEMENTS!

Vagabond Kali-Silat

Summer Seminar
Topics include
Knife training and defense
Stick training
Filipino boxing
Filipino kickboxing
Filipino grappling
Pressure point techniques
Trapping and close quarter combat
Situational self defense

All styles and skill levels welcome. This annual seminar is an introduction to the Filipino/Indonesian arts for the uninitiated and an opportunity to round out the skills of experienced martial artists of other styles.

The Vagabond Martial Arts Association was founded by Master James Eddings to preserve the combat aspects of the traditional arts. The main Art taught at the VMAA, created by Master James Eddings, is Vagabond Kali-Silat. This combat art is the expression of a lifetime of Martial Arts experience and research. It is firmly grounded in the Arts of Indonesia and the Phillipines, and including techniques and training methods from Western arts that follow FMA/IMA principles.

The training of Vagabond Kali-Silat is unique in that it develops the martial artist completely. The training forces the student to expose and resolve his weaknesses and develop all the attributes necessary for combat. At the same time the student learns the "study habits" of a martial artist, and how to assess techniques and training methods from other sources. Vagabond Kali-Silat sets the beginner on the correct and speedy path for excellence. Vagabond Kali-Silat is also the martial art that advanced martial artists use to get to the next level in their training.

Space is limited,make your reservation now!

There are 2 types of seminars people wind up attending. One has too much information and not enough practice to retain any of it. The other is one that has such basic material that it is really for untrained people. The material at this seminar is built progressively and integrated together.

No one goes away empty.Everyone leaves with something new that they can DO.

A WORD FROM THE WORD!

These three women, Mrs. Ratna, Mrs. Eti and Dr. Rebekka, (L-R in photo) were arrested May 16, 2005, and charged under the Children Protection Act of 2002. Their trial began June 30th and ended September 1, 2005, when Indonesian judges sentenced the women to three years in prison plus a fine for allowing Muslim children to attend a Christian Sunday school program. According to Compass Direct News Service, Islamic extremists directed threats inside and outside of the courtroom during the trial. An observer who had attended most of the court sessions indicated there were nine trucks of protestors at this final hearing. These protestors brought with them a coffin to bury the accused if they were not found guilty.

The irony of this case is that the women launched the “Happy Sunday” children’s program in September of 2003, in response to a request by a local elementary school for assistance to meet legal requirements to comply with the National Education System Bill. Because of the popularity of this program with Christian students, some Muslim children wanted to attend. These Muslim children were only permitted to attend if they had their parent’s permission. Later some Muslim parents complained that a picnic held in Jakarta was a trick to Christianize their children while they were away from their village. Eventually their protests went to the Council for County Officers (Muspika). The local MUI (Indonesia Ulama Council) then urged that this problem be resolved by law, which led to accusing the three women of trying to Christianize Muslims.

We must always remember to pray for these people who cannot get to us by email or computer, or phone, but need our prayers so desperately. The true martyrs of today's society. They walk the walk and talk the talk. I would dedicate today's word to these Evangelists who are now incarcerated, and still praising God for doing what they know they are supposed to do and being where they are supposed to be, and have no regrets for if one accepts Jesus as their Savior, their suffering is joyous! Praise God for such courageous people. Please put them on your prayer list!

In Christ,

Dr. Neal
