  • Daily Get Alone Time: Eric Liddell's Recommendations Liddell's
    Daily Get Alone Time: Eric Liddell’s recommendations A Disciple desires to meet with God day by day, through good times and bad. Like Jesus, they make it a habit to have get alone time before God. It refreshes them spiritually, so they can refresh others. How to keep the get alone time fresh and meaningful? It’s a struggle. Here’s good guidance from a wise leader. (review this with a Disciple) Eric Liddell was famous as a Olympian, the hero of the movie Chariots of Fire. His memorable saying was, when I run I feel His pleasure. He served as a missionary in China in the 1930s. He was captured by the Japanese and put in a concentration camp. He died there. During internment he wrote a Manual of Christian Discipleship for serious Christians. Here’s his teachings about a daily quiet time. Liddell’s Morning Quiet Time: One way to know God is to spend time with him each day. Set aside a specific time for prayer and Bible study and plan to stick to it... Ask yourself, Have I surrendered this new day to God and will I seek and obey the guidance of the Holy Spirit throughout its hours? Wait until you can honestly say, Yes... Here are some suggestions to help you make the most of that time: 1. Be still. God, the source of all truth and love, is here. Take time to realize his presence. Be glad that he speaks when we listen and hears when we pray. Thank him for his Spirit living in us.

  • Hudson Taylor's Spiritual Secret
    Hudson Taylor’s Spiritual Secret FOREWORD This record has been prepared especially for readers unfamiliar with the details of Mr. Hudson Taylor's life. Those who have read the larger biography by the present writers, or Mr. Marshall Broomhall's more recent presentation, will find little that is new in these pages. But there are many, in the western world especially, who have hardly heard of Hudson Taylor, who have little time for reading and might turn away from a book in two volumes, yet who need and long for just the inward joy and power that Hudson Taylor found. The desire of the writers is to make available to busy people the experiences of their beloved father—thankful for the blessing brought to their own lives by what he was, and what he found in God, no less than by his fruitful labors. Howard and Geraldine Taylor Philadelphia, May 21, 1932 Men are God's method. The church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men. What the church needs today is not more machinery or better, not new organizations or more and novel methods, but men whom the Holy Ghost can use—men of prayer, men mighty in prayer. The Holy Ghost does not come on machinery, but on men. He does not anoint plans, but men—men of prayer . The training of the Twelve was the great, difficult and enduring work of Christ. It is not great talents or great learning or great preachers that God needs, but men great in holiness, great in faith, great in love, great in fidelity, great for God—men always preaching by holy sermons in the pulpit, by holy lives out of it.

  • Chinese Protestant Christianity Today Daniel H. Bays
    Chinese Protestant Christianity Today Daniel H. Bays ABSTRACT Protestant Christianity has been a prominent part of the general religious resurgence in China in the past two decades. In many ways it is the most striking example of that resurgence. Along with Roman Catholics, as of the 1950s Chinese Protestants carried the heavy historical liability of association with Western domi- nation or imperialism in China, yet they have not only overcome that inheritance but have achieved remarkable growth. Popular media and human rights organizations in the West, as well as various Christian groups, publish a wide variety of information and commentary on Chinese Protestants. This article first traces the gradual extension of interest in Chinese Protestants from Christian circles to the scholarly world during the last two decades, and then discusses salient characteristics of the Protestant movement today. These include its size and rate of growth, the role of Church–state relations, the continuing foreign legacy in some parts of the Church, the strong flavour of popular religion which suffuses Protestantism today, the discourse of Chinese intellectuals on Christianity, and Protestantism in the context of the rapid economic changes occurring in China, concluding with a perspective from world Christianity. Protestant Christianity has been a prominent part of the general religious resurgence in China in the past two decades. Today, on any given Sunday there are almost certainly more Protestants in church in China than in all of Europe.1 One recent thoughtful scholarly assessment characterizes Protestantism as “flourishing” though also “fractured” (organizationally) and “fragile” (due to limits on the social and cultural role of the Church).2 And popular media and human rights organizations in the West, as well as various Christian groups, publish a wide variety of information and commentary on Chinese Protestants.

  • Eric Liddell's Lasting Olympic Impact on Chinese Culture by Rev Dr Ed & Janice Hird
    Eric Liddell's Lasting Olympic Impact on Chinese Culture By Rev Dr Ed & Janice Hird - published in the July 2019 Light Magazine How often does a Chinese-born missionary to China become the subject of an academy award- winning movie?1 The people of China see Eric Liddell as their first Olympic gold medalist, even recently unveiling a statue of him.2 His daughter Patricia Liddell commented, "My father was multi-faceted, he didn't just appeal to religious people. He was born in China, he worked in China, he died in China. He's their Olympic hero." Duncan Hamilton poignantly commented, “In Chinese eyes, he is a true son of their country; he belongs to no one else.”3 In Chariots of Fire, he is shown running for the glory of God in the 1924 Olympics.4 Eric commented, “I never prayed that I would win a race. I have of course prayed about the athletic meetings, asking that in this too, God might be glorified.”5 A leading sports reporter summed him up as ‘probably the most illustrious type of muscular Christianity ever known.’6 Nicknamed the flying Scotsman, he famously said: “God made me fast, and when I run, I feel His pleasure.”7 When asked how he ran so quickly, he often said that he ran as fast as he could for the first half of a race, and then asked God to help him run even faster for the second half.8 Eric won so much gold and silver that his mother hid his trophies under her bed at night, in case of burglary.9 Missionary families often make great sacrifices for the sake of the lost.

  • The Church of God Mission
    In the Summer 2014 issue of Japan Harvest magazine, the official publication of the Japan Evangelical Missionary Association (JEMA), we began publishing profiles of our member missions. This has been an ongoing process, both to assemble profiles of existing members, and gather those of new members. As a result, this current booklet is not in alphabetical order, rather in the order in which profiles were published in our magazine. As you read, please note the publishing date on the bottom of each page, and realize that for some missions their goals and activities may have changed since that time. Although most of our member missions are included in this file, it is not complete. As of this date 2017 JEMA Plenary (February 18, 2017), we have 44 member missions.

Acts 8:4 - an African chief speaking to missionary David Livingstone “All my forefathers have passed away into darkness without knowing anything of what was to befall them; how is it t hat your forefathers knowing all these things, did not send word to my forefathers sooner?” - Randy Alcorn “The opportunities for using our financial resources to spread the gospel and strengthen the church all over the world are greater than they've ever been. As God raised up Esther for just such a time as hers, I'm convinced he's raise us up, with all our wealth, to help fulfill the great commission. The question is, what are we doing with that money? Our job is to make sure it gets to his intended recipients.” - Roland Allen “Missionary zeal does not grow out of intellectual beliefs, nor out of theological arguments, but out of love.” - Brother Andrew “There are no closed doors to the gospel - provided that, once you get inside, you don't care if you ever come out.” “Don't complain to yourselves that you can't go to the mission field! Thank God for bringing the mission field to you!” - Gladys Aylward "I wasn't God's first choice for what I've done for China, I don't know who it was. It must have been a man, well-educated man. I don't know what happened. Perhaps he died. Perhaps he wasn't willing, and God looked down and saw Gladys Aylward and God said - "Well, she's willing." - Art Beals “Christ’s commission is for the whole church to take the whole gospel to the whole world! Every member is called to participate in mission; therefore, we need to provide a broad range of opportunities.
