  • December 2013 Newsletter
    December 2013 NGAUS Conference Reflections . Written by Major Gerald Robinson Association Second Vice President The 135 th NGAUS General Conference, Honolulu, Hawaii …….. just the sound of that conjures up images of warm tropical breezes, perfect sunsets, and sea turtles swimming gently in the waves as you stroll down the beach with soft tiki music floating in. Yes, the conference was all that and more… you may have missed it, but you were represented. Sixty- five members comprised of delegates, representatives of the NGAA board of directors and some NGAA corporate members were there to represent Arkansas. Taking on Hawaii …. If you haven’t been to a NGAUS Conference, I must tell you it is no small task and is all the more difficult when you throw in hearing from so many of our leaders today. The first question most ask is, “Why would I go all the way to Hawaii for a conference? If I go there, it would be for vacation”. That is a good point and a good question, but it does not stop there. Why not ask, ”Why NGAUS? ... Why NGAA?” Every time we rose early, put on our uniform and stepped into the conference hall … yes, in Hawaii with the beaches just a few hundred yards away, we reminded ourselves that we are the firewall between Washington and the states. One member, the oldest member present at the conference, summed it up with his comment, “We are never beyond the sniper’s reach.” So, we remain on guard and we listen to the state of affairs in Washington … the plans, the maybe’s, and the what if’s.

  • The Western Lives of American Missionary Women in China (1860-1920)
    CONVERT BUT NOT CONVERTED: THE WESTERN LIVES OF AMERICAN MISSIONARY WOMEN IN CHINA (1860-1920) A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Caroline Hearn Fuchs, M.I.A. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. March 31, 2014 CONVERT BUT NOT CONVERTED: THE WESTERN LIVES OF AMERICAN MISSIONARY WOMEN IN CHINA (1860-1920) Caroline Hearn Fuchs, M.I.A. MALS Mentor: Kazuko Uchimura, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Kate Roberts Hearn was buried in a Shanghai cemetery in 1891, a short four years after her acceptance into the Women’s Missionary Service of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. In 1873, Charlotte “Lottie” Moon left for a new life in China as a single missionary woman. She served in that country for nearly 40 years, dying aboard ship on a final return voyage to the United States. Both women left their American homes expecting to convert the people of an alien land to Christianity. They also arrived in China prepared to maintain their Western rituals and comforts, which effectively separated them from the Chinese and cultivated a sense of the “Other.” In this way, missionary women came to convert, but were not converted themselves. Missionary communities, specifically missionary women, vigorously sought to maintain domestic and work lifestyles anchored in Western culture. The rise of “domesticity” in the nineteenth century gave women an influential role as a graceful redeemer, able to transform “heathens” by demonstrating civilized values of a Christian home, complete with Western elements of cleanliness, companionable marriage, and the paraphernalia of Victorian life, such as pianos in the parlor.

  • Three Missionary Profiles the Life of Lottie Moon
    http://home.snu.edu/~hculbert/ Here’s a “readers’ theatre” look at some missionaries. It can be used in a classroom with or without practice. All you need are some good readers. Three Missionary Profiles These brief plays profile the lives of Lottie Moon, C.T. Studd and the Hudson Taylors. It was originally performed as a single play in three acts. However, it can easily be broken up and performed or read as three separate one-act plays. These portrayals show these missionaries as real people with warts and frailties. It is hoped that people, on seeing these performances, will realize that one need not be a saint to go into global missions work. This play may be performed without charge by any school, church or religious group, provided no more than 5% of its original content is changed. Copyright © 1996 David Prata The Life of Lottie Moon Written by David Prata ANNOUNCER: (offstage) Lottie Moon was born in 1840 in Virginia where she grew up on her family's tobacco plantation. Some have said that a divine calling, an adventuresome spirit and a feminist impulse were the main factors in the nineteenth century that created a surge of single women into world missions. Indeed, those three things -- a sense of calling, adventuresome spirit and a feminist impluse -- were what thrust Lottie Moon into a fruitful life of missionary service. LOTTIE: (Entering from stage left, looking up for the voice of the announcer) Excuse me, but you are leaving a few things out. ANNOUNCER: And who, madam might you be? LOTTIE: I might be your great aunt Minnie, but as it happens, I am Lottie Moon, and I will tell this story myself if you don't mind, sir.

  • In Cyprus Until ISQG
    This is the fo~erllt in the series of booklets o~~tlii~iiig the history and work of the Covenanter Chz~rcllin fields abroad. The first was a brief sketclt of the begilz~~iilgand growth of the work in South Chii~a.The secoild was air otrtline of the work in Manclzzckuo written bg the Rev. J. G. Vos. The third is the story of tlze work itt Syria written by the Rev. A. J. McFarland, D.D. The foi~rth covers the work ill the Cypr~csfield and is written by Mr. Wilbtcr W. Weir. While tentative efforts had been put forth earlier the CIz~~rchdid not get a real start in Cyprus until ISQG. The work then begun has been carried on contin~~o~rslysince. It started as aiz offshoot of our Syrian Missioia. While the beginning of the work seeirred to have been alinost acci- dental, rather than the result of deliberate p1aniziit.g and foresight, it was intended to be an integral part of the work in Sgria. Bz~tthe event proved that it was the opening of another field with a difJerent lailguage, l~istory and outlook. As the years passed it was found that tlze probleins and conditions were so different, with no coin- moil langr~agesave English, that they became two inde- pendent nzission fields. So in reality the Coveizanter Chzrrch has four fields in latlds ab~oaclwhere it preaches the gospel and lifts up a stanclarcl to which tlze faithful may repair. TJzis brief history is sent otct wilh the prayer that it nzay prove a means of quickening Jresh interest and se- curing more earnest sztpport of tlze work in this field.

  • China – Home to 1
    CHURCH HISTORY LITERACY Lesson 91 Chinese Missions – The Christian Faith Goes East China is home to 1.3 billion people, the most populated country on the globe. Have you ever wondered how many Christians are there? The estimates vary, but seem to be somewhere between at least 20 million and perhaps as many as 100 million.1 Where did all those Christians come from, especially in a communist country? The answers to those questions come from stories of church history, many that we know, and many more lost to the pages of history. We will look at a general narrative overview of China and Christianity, and then probe the stories of three key individuals in the development of Chinese Christianity today. Through these stories, we find that God has worked through human difficulties and frailties, politically and personally, to bring growth to his Church. It is important that we realize that while these stories center on China, there are similar stories that would apply to the others countries of Asia, Africa, and the world. Since Jesus commissioned his apostles to “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation” (Mark 16:15), the church has worked toward that end. The net result is a faith that is spreading around the globe, validating the word of God that through the seed of Abraham, “all the nations of the earth shall be blessed” (Gen 18:18; Gal. 3:8). Today, we see the work of God in China. CHINA – CHRISTIAN OVERVIEW Ruth Tucker, a Missions Professor at Calvin Theological Seminary, gives four stages of Christianity’s arrival into China.
