MASCA'S INFORMATIVE MAG - CHUCKLE N' CHAT - DEC 2002 Isn't it absolutely extraordinary, that after 106 years our Country has come full circle from savage wasteland to a civilised, highly organised, economically sound, industrialised Nation and back to savage wasteland again! Mrs Fleming wrote, 106 years ago, an exact description of Zimbabwe today. Its Christmas and we're almost through 2002 and we can pat ourselves on the back for surviving constant shortages, price hikes and dismal news bulletins. Going back some years I read an account of the conditions during the rebellion in 1896 which reads: "Just now we are very short of provisions. No flour... no meat ... only goat ... and the bread ration is half a pound a day. The bread when you can get it) is made of ground rice, mealie meal and a little flour. There are no eggs, no milk ... I have one treasured tin of condensed milk ... and butter is worth its weight in gold" The writer was Mrs Philadelphia Fleming the wife of Dr Andrew Fleming and she goes on to say: "As for hardships one does not even notice them... You would never think if you dropped in on us suddenly that we were in a beleaguered town ... tonight we are having goat soup, goat cutlets, stewed shoulder of goat and blancmange made with water."
TAKING JESUS NAME OFF THE AIRWAVES & TV CBS will be forced to discontinue Touched by an Angel for using the word God in every program. Madeline Murray O'Hare, an atheist, successfully managed to eliminate the use of Bible reading from public schools a few years ago. Now her organization has been granted a Federal Hearing on the same subject by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in Washington, DC. Their petition, Number 2493, would ultimately pave the way to stop the reading of the gospel of our Lord and Saviour, on the airwaves of America. They got 287,000 signatures to back their stand! If this attempt is successful, all Sunday worship services being broadcast on the radio or by television will be stopped. This group is also campaigning to remove all Christmas programs and Christmas carols from public schools! You, as a Christian can help! We are praying for at least 1 million signatures. This would defeat their effort and show that there are many Christians alive, well and concerned about our country. As Christians we must unite on this. Please don't take this lightly. We ignored this lady once and lost prayer in our schools and in offices across the nation. Please stand up for your religious freedom and let your voice be heard Together we can make a difference in our country while creating an opportunity for the lost to know the Lord. Please press forward and delete out what is not needed, and forward this to everyone on your list. Please help us defeat this organization and keep the right to our freedom of religion. please e mail to: Lisa Norman: electric_yellow@hotmail.com

From a missionary- given by Cindy Jacobs The river is going to flow through Zimbabwe and I see a powerful torrent of water, a mighty rushing torrent, many fish. I see that there are strongholds in the church of division and the accuser of the Brethren is active to discourage souls. An army of women with the Deborah anointing will march across the land. They will be like a net all over Zimbabwe in prayer. With a powerful anointing, the women first and the men following. I see ancient thrones coming down, Reconciliation between black and white, the spirit of racism, which goes back further down the tribes. I will use Zimbabwe like a jewel; she will help feed the world with beautiful produce. God will break the curse that came through civil war - the curse will be BROKEN. (I know nothing of Zimbabwe). The land will produce beautiful beef. New factories will be built. Zimbabwe has the ministry of reconciliation that will reunite the African people. The anointing of reconciliation will be all over Zimbabwe. Do not be afraid of the change, although it looks like you are going backwards. I have a plan for you. Satan thinks he is advancing but I will expose wickedness at high levels. Do not be afraid. Satan will try to bring war, but the people will be used to stop war and bloodshed. A treaty will be written with other nations. Zimbabwe will be like Switzerland to bring the healing of nations - to break ancient Ideology. Your nation came through trickery but GOD will restore it. You will be given a piece of land - a beautiful place to pray. You will build a place to watch and pray. It will be like a village with a place to sleep. Senior citizens will have places to stay and give their time to pray day and night.
