The Case of the Disappearing Nomads?
I enjoyed the March-April issue of MF. I was surprised that none of the nomads listed under Afghanistan on page 8 were Pashto-speaking Kuchis. This group was numbered at two million and .gured that almost all the nomads in Afghanistan were either Pashtuns or Gypsies. The Kuchis live in black goat hair tents and the Gypsies ( Jats) use white tents.
I realize that the number of Kuchis has dropped due to the drought which wiped out most of their animals. However, I think there must still be some around. Let me know if you can explain what happened to make them all disappear.

Canadians and House Churches
I can’t tell you how excited I was to read your editorial about house churches and missions last week when I received the [March-April] edition of Mission Frontiers! ….
You may be interested in our web site of house church resources: Canadian House Church Resource Network (http://www.outreach.ca/cpc/ housechurches.htm) and my web site (DiscipleTheNations.org)…. The Canadian House Church Resource Network has been in existence for about four years now, and for the past 1 1/2 years or so we have been sending out our free quarterly e-newsletter about house churches, not only to Canadians but to folks from many nations ….
Many blessings,

MF Articles on Disease Prompt “Fire-up Discussion”
I am a Liberian pastor, indigenous resource person, and regular recipient of your magazine. Five years ago I read your book on the establishment of the U.S. Center for World Mission and followed the patterns – especially prayer and trust in God – and today we have a native African mission agency called Rural Indigenous Mission ….
I just want you to know that as you celebrate the 25th anniversary of the U.S. Center, your work is bearing other fruit here, and you need to know. Congratulations on your 25 years of leading mission work. Your articles about war against disease turned into a .re-up discussion in my mission discipleship class. I am meeting with 10 young men to pray, research, and study mission in the Bible from cover to cover ….

Older Issues of MF Still Circulating
I am writing from Papua New Guinea with great interest about your ministry. Recently I borrowed an October 1999 issue of Mission Frontiers titled “Strategic Partnerships” and I was more than thrilled and so impressed by the contents that I could not wait further to write you people and requested to be added to the mailing list and to start receiving Mission Frontiers …. I sincerely thank you so much in advance. May God continue to richly bless you all at the Center for World Mission as you tirelessly partake in the ful.lling of the Great Commission.
