KACWM DAGESTAN From: Global Prayer Dgest, Aug 29, 1995, forwarded by Mardi Smith "The Dagestani peoples are fascinating!" commented Jim in a letter to his friends in the United States. Then writing about the video he had just finished editing, he said, "With God's help I was able to cover certain aspects of the people's lives, such as their traditional dances, farming, rug making, seances, and praying in the world's third oldest mosque. I believe the video will inspire the church to pray with a greater focus on reaching these 2,000,000 unreached people with the gospel of Jesus Christ..."--PD If you would like to order this video, contact the Korean-American Center for World Mission at (818) 398-2405. The cost is $10.00 They also have a prayer guide available for $2.50.
Korean Amercian Center for World Mission
The purpose of the Korean American Center for World Mission is to encourage the Korean American Christian community to help make disciples of all the ethne (peoples), as Jesus commanded in Matthew 28:18-20. Today, many Korean mission leaders feel that in order to do this, the focus must be on the unreached people groups. And among Korean Americans, more people, both young and old, are interested in reaching the unreached than was ever true before. KACWM forms an integral part of this effort by providing various ministries which make available helpful information and suggest effective strategies which Korean American Christians might use to complete the task. As part of this effort, KACWM sends research teams of Korean Americans overseas, and other teams throughout the U.S. to mobilize the churches and students.
"Possibly no other project can have greater impact directly or indirectly than a full-time information center such as the Korean American Center for World Mission." -Ralph D. Winter, founder and General Director of the USCWM
God has blessed the Korean church in North America. And it's our turn to bless the nations. As there are some 2800 Korean churches in North America, it is our vision and our purpose to mobilize the Korean church in North America in joining the global movement of reaching the unreached people groups. We have translated the Perspectives course into Korean and it is in local Korean churches. We have research expedition programs and traveling team ministries. We do consultations and visit churches to help out with their missions policies and mobilization efforts.

MF Behind the Scenes
by Rick Wood, Managing Editor
Mission Frontiers Gets a New Web Site
After many months of planning and work, Mission Frontiers has its own web site, complete with articles covering the last five years. Eventually it will have all of the timeless articles ever written for Mission Frontiers. Below is a listing of just a few of the things that you can do when you set your web browser to www.missionfrontiers.org. Locate hundreds of articles on many different subjects from 1994 to the present. We have dozens of links to some of the best research tools and information on unreached peoples. Download articles that you would like to read offline. Link to hundreds of mission resources and mission agencies. Locate what you need to get involved in the frontier mission movement.
The new Mission Frontiers web site, along with that of the U.S. Center and its other ministries will be downloaded and placed on a new CD-ROM being produced by the AD2000 and Beyond Movement. This new CD will contain a treasure chest of mission resources from many organizations and will be sold along with the new book on Praying Through the Window IV that YWAM is now in the process of producing. It is expected that over 50,000 copies of this book and CD will be sold as we approach this October 1999 global prayer event. Pray that God will use this opportunity to spread a passion for the unreached peoples. Be on the lookout for this book and CD in the coming months. And do check out the new MF web site at www.missionfrontiers.org. Let us know what you think. We will be continually improving and upgrading this site as time goes on. Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
The New Perspectives Revision
In this issue of Mission Frontiers we feature two articles on pages 20 and 30 from the latest edition of the book, Perspectives on the World Christian Movement. This 782-page whopper of a book, with 124 chapters is the finest single guide to the world of missions today. The book is hot off the press with 60 new or extensively revised articles. It is well worth the reading whether you have taken the Perspectives course and read the previous editions or not. I encourage you to order your copy of the new Perspectives book now from William Carey Library using the order form on page 49 or call 1-800- MISSION. The item number is WCL289-1 and it's available for just $21.00.
For His Glory,

Mission Media Productions, Inc., is a not-for-profit ministry that serves missionaries both afield and at home. Utilizing our spiritual gifts, we do this by producing videos for and about them, becoming their "link" to their supporters as they do the Lord's work. Our Mission Statement probably says it best:
MMPI exists to inform individuals and churches of the activities, successes, problems and needs of missionaries throughout the world, primarily through the medium of video.
Our ministry's goal is for every missionary to be able to have their own video explaining to all the world what they do, and what their needs are. To this end, we have equipped MMPI with industrial-grade JVC editing equipment and a state-of-the-art Video Toaster system. We can produce from concept to finished duplicates. We both tape on-site and edit in-house for complete ministry support and service. As a ministry, we rely on the support of individuals and churches for our day-to-day expenses. This allows us to provide our services without charge for our time, asking only reimbursment for out-of-pocket expenses for both video productions and duplicate tapes. See our Policies page for details.
We have about 30 available videos, and our list is growing. These are available for your use.

Excellent Mormon video - The Mormon Puzzle - call to see what else they have.
Open Doors has produced a video called "Behind the Sun". It is an excellent presentation of the problems that national believers in Muslim countries are facing. The video chronicles the adventures/trials of a man returning to his home (Muslim) country after converting to Christianity during his college days in the US. It is about 1 hour long, and is extremely well done (I've heard over 1 million was spent to make the video). Although the man's story is fictional (I think), the events/ situations that he encounters are not - according to those familiar with the middle-east. I highly recommend this video. It is both informative and exciting. Available from Open Doors, P.O. Box 27001, Santa Ana, CA 92799 714-531-6000 800-788-5574 [I just called Open Doors about this and discovered that this movie is available only as a film (i.e. not a video) which can be loaned to a church group, and must be accompanied by Open Doors' literature which follows up on the film.
TEN-4-0 Many of you will remember the premier of this powerful video at the GCOWE consultation in Seoul, Korea, in May this year.

It includes a lively interview with George Verwer and details of how to get involved in the Ten Forty window.
