Update on Comforter's Center in Uganda- Veronica Nakyewe

Reaching Muslims
In her January 2008 report for the Comforter’s Centre (Kampala, Uganda), Veronica Nakyewe writes: “God has blessed abundantly our work by providing an avenue by which we are able to present the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. The centre moved to an accessible location near slum areas Namuwongo, Kisugu, and Kibuli. Kibuli is a stronghold of the Muslim community in Uganda. Some of our clients are these Muslim [women], single or married in polygamous Muslim families. Through the Comforter’s Centre they get an opportunity to receive the One through whom salvation comes (Acts 4:12). They come for pregnancy services, Bead Cycle, etc., but are also launched to a brand new start.” She also reported on the post-abortion conference held at the end of January. They had over 30 participants, and Harriet Walude was the facilitator. You may remember praying for Harriet last year when she lost a leg in a traffic accident.

Action Needed: The United States Must Not Export Death!
The House Foreign Affairs Full Committee is scheduled to vote on the PEPFAR/Global AIDS Reauthorization bill this Thursday. The current draft by Chairman Tom Lantos (D-CA) strips out the pro-abstinence and pro-faithfulness values that have made the program successful, especially in Africa. The new bill would change PEPFAR into a massive $10 billion per year giveaway that will be tilted toward abortion merchants and promoters. Please take a moment to call the offices of House members on the Foreign Affairs Committee and tell them to protect the values written into the current PEFAR legislation: protection of pro-abstinence and anti-prostitution requirements. Tell them that the successful PEPFAR program should not be hijacked to spread U.S. taxpayer-funded abortion around the world. http://www.frc.org/get.cfm?i=AL08B02&f=WA08B04

Huckabee Criticizes Romney For Changing Positions
"I think you can't just have a change of opinion on fundamental issues over and over and wait until you're running for president to do it," Huckabee said on Friday to supporters in Oklahoma City, adding, "To say you never thought about the origins of human life until you were nearly 60 years old, I find that hard to believe, even for someone who hadn't run for public office." Romney, speaking to reporters in Denver, said, "Governor Huckabee is always good for a good chuckle," adding that "while there's occasionally a time of natural humor, I think the presidency is more serious than that comment suggests. http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/96120.php
Editor: I thought Huckabee sounded dead serious.

NY Times Calls for Inspection of RU486 Plant
The FDA — and American consumers — got another warning last week about the need for vigilant monitoring of imported drugs from the developing world, especially from China. The contamination of a drug used to treat Chinese leukemia patients should also raise alarms at multinational pharmaceutical companies that plan to outsource manufacturing to China. The same company is the sole supplier to the United States of the abortion pill known as RU486. That pill is made at a different factory that passed an FDA inspection in May and was inspected three times in recent months by Chinese drug regulators. Still, in light of the company’s current difficulties, the FDA would be wise to re-inspect the plant promptly to ensure that the RU486 production facility is adhering to rigorous quality control procedures. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/03/opinion/03sun2.html?_r=1&oref=slogin
