That this has occurred so quickly is a testament to the passion and commitment of Bob Evans. These two works will prove to be an enormous blessing to workers, volunteers and supporters of ESA Country Ministries (ESA) both present and past. The first volume was an inspiring one, recording the incredible adventures of men and women who took the gospel of Jesus Christ into isolated and rugged parts of country Victoria and the other states of Australia. The name may have changed at times: Evangelisation Society of Victoria to Evangelisation Society of Australasia and even incorporating the Australian Christian Colportage Association. Essentially however, what is now known as ESA Country Ministries has been a vehicle by which God has taken the truths of the gospel into rural Victoria and beyond for close to 130 years. In our comfortable armchair Christianity of 2011 it is humbling and inspiring to read of how a visit to Emerald, Victoria by a lone evangelist 100 years ago should have been accomplished with so many barriers. A beautiful Melbourne town now, at one time Emerald could only be reached through muddy isolated tracks over the mountains. Such was their isolation that the townsfolk were excited that at last they had a visitor. More than that, dozen responded to the gospel when it was presented. This is the story repeated over and over in the first volume and one that continues through the second and into the present day - 5 although technology and transport advances enable ESA workers to reach even the most isolated communities within hours. Nevertheless, the power of the gospel still penetrates many hearts annually as God’s Holy Spirit uses His Word spoken at camps, church meetings, and adventure activities conducted by the staff of ESA. Although several evangelistic groups have shared a similar type of ministry to that of ESA over the years, ESA now presents as quite unique in its vision to reach rural Victoria as it Equips, Serves and Assists Country churches. Today the community centered around Donald in the Wimmera - Mallee, the families around Colac in South-Western Victoria and generations of Children around Ballarat are the recipients of the faithful service rendered by ESA’s field workers in those areas. They continue to share faithfully the saving message of the grace found in Jesus Christ in schools, homes and the wider community. They have a heritage of over a hundred years to base their ministry upon. Over many years Gippsland - in Victoria’s east - has been the focus of outreach to the lost too. Through the presentation of the gospel at children’s and youth camps, in family groups and churches and even in prisons, ESA’s men and women reach the hearts of the isolated and spiritually needy working out of Traralgon and Maffra. For 30 years ESA’s administrative hub and Conference Centre was at Marysville, north-east of Melbourne. The Black Saturday fires of 2009, effectively curtailed the work there and yet even now Alexandra (in the same region) is the centre of ESA’s Adventure camping ministry - a tool which has seen many people young and old impacted for God through canoeing, fishing, rock-climbing, bushwalking and through the agency of school chaplaincy and church-planting. 6 How thrilling to think that the work of evangelism has been carried out unabated since 1883 (with the possible exception being during periods of economic downturn and war) by dozens of ESA workers and volunteers and that we in 2012 can be a part of carrying on with that work. The ESA Board of which I am a member is grateful that Robert Evans has chronicled the remarkable history of this organisation. The Board is honoured to be a small part of the continuing heritage of preaching Christ to country Victoria. As one who has been involved in ESA Country Ministries for some 35 years, I feel a part of that heritage of ESA work commenced and continued by its pioneers - Rev. A.J. Clark, Hon. James Balfour, James Griffiths, through to George Fuhrmeister (who it seems led my father to Christ whilst chatting over a pigsty fence in Western Victoria), Bob Pocklington and ‘Aunty’ Myrtle Payne. With the completion of this second volume - ‘Evangelisation Society of Australasia: 1919 to 1945’ - countless supporters and volunteers will enjoy reading of the organisation and of the Godly men and women who served between the two world wars. And of course ESA will continue, but this generation of believers will need to supply the next generation of field staff - evangelists. Maybe they will come from the current fledgling ‘intern’ program flourishing in Gippsland, or maybe it will be you - the one reading this volume who will be the next E.S.A. field-worker or volunteer - sharing Jesus Christ with country Victoria. Stephen Kilpatrick. ESA Country Ministries. 7 8 INTRODUCTION In the year 1983, the Evangelisation Society of Australia marked its Centenary. This was a considerable landmark in its history, because at several points in its story the Society had ceased to function, and indeed, ceased to exist as more than a technicality. Yet, here it was, definitely and strongly involved in the soul-saving ministry of the Church, just as it had been through most of its history since it began in 1883. The task of writing its Centenary History was handed to one of the Society’s workers, Mr. Donald Prout, who must have wondered what he had done to deserve being given this task. He said that, with the request to do this job, he was presented with a large handful of papers to use as his resources. Donald did the best that he could, and, eventually the Centenary book for the Evangelisation Society of Australia was published. 1 From browsing through this book we can see what “the large handful of papers” contained, and also we can perhaps guess at what was not there. Firstly, his book presented a copy of the advertisement which appeared in several papers in 1883 to announce the formation of the Society. There were a few reports about early missions conducted by the first evangelist employed by the Society, the Rev. A. J. Clarke. There was information about a visit to Melbourne by Mr. George Muller of Bristol, with a photo, who was invited to Victoria by one of the Open Brethren leaders linked to the Society. After that, Donald had some news, and a photo, about a visiting English evangelist brought out by the Society to lead evangelistic meetings in various parts 1 Donald Prout. Going Where the Need is Greater . The E.S.A. Story. 1983. 9 of Victoria. This was Mr. George Clarke, who was a world- famous athlete who openly declared his faith in Jesus Christ. After these details ending in 1888, Donald’s file seems to have contained almost no more information about the Society’s activities until 1926, for which year he had the Minutes of one of the Society’s business meetings. His next information was the annual meeting report for 1932. After that, the information improved slowly, until, by the end of the Second World War, he was able to present a fairly good coverage of events and people. Overall, his difficulty really was that the Society had never taken care to keep the Minutes books of their business meetings, or their correspondence. There were no Society archives. With these he could have written a much better history of the Society. On top of that, he did not know, and there was nobody else who knew where to look for the information which would have allowed him to fill in the gaps, which covered most of the first fifty years of the Society’s story. Since I retired from parish responsibilities about thirteen years ago, I have written and published privately about six books on the history of evangelism in Australia covering the period before the First World War.

We have seen a further increase in the number of people sleeping rough this year and a steep increase in the number of people struggling with other types of homelessness. The proportion of our clients with complex health and social care needs has increased again and we are concerned by the rising number of street homeless women and young people in our services. In a context of continued funding cuts across the homelessness sector, we are pleased that our income has remained consistent this year. This allows us to continue to deliver our strategic aims of helping the most vulnerable people in our community effectively – people who have often failed to engage with alternative support and who struggle to access mainstream services.

Kaiser, Guest Editor Feature Articles History: It’s Essential Page 3 Brent Whitefield Strong faith is built upon history. Trust in God rests on the memory of what God has done in the past and the consistency of his character seen in the historical record of his dealings with humankind. Whitefield explains why knowledge and reflection on history are essential for the church in a variety of contexts. For foreign workers serving in an alien context, their willingness to learn the history of their area communicates a depth of in- terest in the people they are serving. Fragmented and Complacent: The Chinese Church that Lacks Historical Consciousness Page 5 Brother Li The Chinese church’s lack of historical consciousness is longstanding. While the secular world has increased its understanding of history in many areas, the church has lagged behind. Only recently has research into church history begun. As it becomes known, the church needs to recognize that history has practical applications and must learn how to apply these. When this does not happen, there are negative effects, and the author discusses some of these. Traditional Chinese Views of History and Contemporary Chinese Christianity Page 6 Peregrine de Vigo Following a brief review of the ways Chinese have viewed their history over the centuries, the author turns to the consideration of how today’s PRC citizens view their history. All Chinese views of history have included “history” that is promoted nationally and directly serves the interests of the state.

  • CHURCH ALIVE in CHINA! Baptist Ministers Journal 319 (July 2013) 17-22
    CHURCH ALIVE IN CHINA! Baptist Ministers Journal 319 (July 2013) 17-22 China is an incredible country, where so much lies under the surface – quite literally. Here I have in mind not just the great terra-cotta army of more than 7,500 warriors buried just a few miles away from the ancient capital of X’ian, but also the 750’000 creators of the terra-cotta army who were buried alive immediately after they had finished their work! More significantly, millions of tourists make their way around the great sights of China – they visit X’ian and see the terra-cotta army, they take a cruise on the great Yangtse River and see the Three Gorges, and in Beijing they see the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, and go for a drive to the Great Wall of China – and yet they do not see the amazing things that God is doing in China today. My friends, the church is alive in China – it is extraordinarily alive – against all expectations. Let me give you a history lesson1. It will take a little while, so please be patient. If church traditions are to be believed, the Gospel first came to China around 60 AD. Thomas, the Apostle, went to India, and then to China – and then returned to India, where he died. So the story goes – but on the whole people did not believe that Thomas-in-China story, until in 2008 two Frenchmen drew attention to some bas-reliefs in Kongwangshan, which apparently suggest that Thomas went from India to China by sea, because of an outbreak of unrest on the Old Silk Road through central Asia.

  • Mission and Change in Eastern Turkestan
    MISSION AND CHANGE IN EASTERN TURKESTAN An Authorised Translation of the Original Swedish Text Mission och revolution i Centralasien Svenska Missionsförbundets mission i Ostturkestan 1892-1938 John Hultvall, Gummessons, Stockholm, 1981 Published by: Heart of Asia Ministries, PO Box 1. Erskine, Renfrewshire, Scotland, June 1987 Revised version, MCCS, Sweden, 2004 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Our thanks to Mr. John Hultvall for giving his permission to translate some sections of chapters 5, 6 and 7 (covering the period of history from 1924-1938) of his book Mission och Revolution i Centralasien, originally published in Swedish in 1981. With the renewed concern for Central Asia on the part of the Church and the present “Open Door” policy of the People’s Republic of China, his work is of great interest. Mr. Hultvall has done the Church a great service in recording the history of Christian missions in this remote part of the world. The Church at large must surely be indebted to him. His work is worthy for a complete translation, but in order to make these particular sections of his book more speedily available we had to settle for a compromise. We have also included his most valuable bibliography of source materials relating to this area of the world and Christian mission to its peoples. We wish also to acknowledge the initiative of Miss Ruth Lyons in consulting with Mr. Hultvall to authorise this translation. The English text was initially translated by two Swedish friends whose work has been finalised by two native English speakers. We are grateful to all those concerned who have contributed their time and knowledge to make this work available to a wider English speaking readership.
