DANDO UM JEITO: AN INTEGRATED THEOLOGICAL, HISTORICAL, CULTURAL AND STRATEGIC STUDY OF MISSIO DEI TO, IN AND THROUGH BRAZIL by JOÃO MORDOMO A Doctoral Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Religious Studies with an emphasis in Christian Leadership in the Division of Graduate Studies of Vision International University 2014 The Doctoral Dissertation of João Mordomo Copyright by João Mordomo 2014 ABSTRACT Since it’s descobrimento on April 22nd, 1500, Brazil proved to be resistant to Protestant and Evangelical Christianity until the 20th century. However, by the end of the century, Brazil had, in many missiologists’ minds, transitioned from being a missionary field to a missionary force. There is one Brazilian trait in particular that serves well to describe both God as He has orchestrated the evangelization of Brazil, and Brazilians as they increasingly have fulfilled their role in God’s global mission to, in and through Brazil. This trait is summarized in the expression dar um jeito (pronounced “darh oon jhei’-to”). While a literal translation into English does not make much sense, its meaning can most accurately be conveyed with “make a way.” Its participle form (dando um jeito) would be “making a way,” and that is a wonderful description of God on mission to, in and through Brazil. For over 500 years, despite difficulties, hostilities, resistance and obstacles, He has been “making a way” for His Gospel to be proclaimed, His name to be known, His Son to be worshiped and His mission to be completed – first to Brazil, then in, and now among the nations through Brazilian Evangelical missionaries. By way of an integrated research iv methodology, situated within a naturalistic paradigm, and based upon the grounded theory method, this dissertation analyzes data and makes inferences from a variety of theoretical as well as disciplinary perspectives, in an attempt to uncover, examine, understand and integrate selected theological, historical, cultural and strategic reasons for Brazil’s resistance to the Gospel, as well as to show how God has overcome the resistance, in order for the Gospel to continue to impact Brazil, and for the Brazilian Evangelical church increasingly to become a missionary “powerhouse” in the 21st century. v KEYWORDS Missio Dei, doxological missiology, doxological motivation, freewill theism, “openness of God” theology, dando um jeito, jeitinho, Brazil, historical, cultural, strategic, Brazilian Evangelical missions, two-thirds world missions, emerging missions movements, missionary training, missionary education, business as mission vi ABBREVIATIONS AMTB Associação de Missões Transculturais Brasileiras (Brazilian Cross-Cultural Missions Association) APMB Associação de Professores de Missões do Brasil (Brazilian Association of Missions Professors) B4T Business for Transformation BAM Business as Mission CCI-Brasil Crossover Communications International – Brasil (known in Brazil as “Comunicando Cristo Interculturalmente”) CIA Central Intelligence Agency CLADE Congreso Latinoamericano de Evangelizacion (Latin American Congress on Evangelization) COMIBAM Cooperación Misioneira Iberoamericana (Ibero-American Missionary Cooperation) CPM Church-Planting Movement DAI Departamento de Assuntos Indígenas (Department for Indigenous Affairs of the Brazilian Cross-Cultural Missions Association) EMS Evangelical Missiological Society ESV English Standard Version of the Bible FTBP Faculdade Teológica Batista do Paraná (Paraná Baptist Theological Faculty) vii FTL Fraternidad Teológica Latinoamericana (Latin American Theological Fraternity) IMA Introduction to Missionary Anthropology LCWE Lausanne Congress (later Committee) for World Evangelization, today known as the Lausanne Movement LOP Lausanne Occasional Paper MACI Missão Amigos dos Ciganos (Friends of Gypsies Mission, a ministry unit of CCI-Brasil) MEAB Missão Evangélica Árabe do Brasil (Evangelical Arab Mission of Brasil) NIV New International Version of the Bible PEM Profissionais e Empresas em Missão (Professionals and Businesses on Mission, a department of the AMTB) PMM Professional Ministry Model SEPAL Servindo aos Pastores e Líderes (Serving Pastors and Leaders, the Brazilian branch of OC International) viii DEDICATION To the Lord Jesus, the Christ, in whom I live and move and have my being eternally, my hope of glory. To Sonia, Gabriel and Giovanna, for whom, more than any other humans, I live and move and dedicate my being, for their eternal hope and glory in Jesus Christ. To my parents, Jack and Carolyn who, through their dedication to Jesus Christ, to their children, and to the outworking of God’s will in their lives, have served as genuine, motivating and deeply encouraging examples of what it means to live in hope and be rewarded – in the case of my mother, who is now with Jesus – with eternal glory. ix ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS While this doctoral dissertation has my name on it, I would be remiss if I did not recognize that the final product is based on much more than my years of research into the subject of God’s mission to, in and through Brazil. My research – both in terms of the subject matter I chose as well as my ability to do the research – is the culmination of years of experience and reflects the influence of many godly and capable men and women in my life. I am deeply grateful to God as I consider and thank the people whom He has used to mold my life, ministry and research. And I am profoundly humbled as I realize that my list of personal, professional and academic mentors reads like a “Who’s Who?” of Christian leadership and scholarship. Just as I could never merit the free gift of salvation that I have received in Jesus Christ, I also could never earn or deserve to have such an incredible group of people mentor and mold me on this journey of life, ministry and research. I can, however, humbly and gratefully acknowledge the profound impact of at least some of these agents of grace and transformation in my life: • My wife Sonia was more gracious and patient than I could have hoped for as my doctoral journey carried on year after year. She put up with my physical absences, occasional mental and emotional absences (even when I was physically present) and even bravely faced (and then wisely fled from!) a hurricane, with a baby in tow, in a country that was not her own, x while I was a world away taking a doctoral course. I’m deeply grateful to her for persevering as I plodded, er, pressed on, toward my goal. • Dr. Bill Jones, president of Columbia International University, and with whom I co-founded Crossover Communications International (CCI) 26 years ago. This dear friend and mentor who invited me on the journey to the nations that is called CCI has taught me more about living a life of integrity, discipline and stewardship – and what they mean for godly leadership – than anyone else I know. My research flows from a deep desire to honor God as an effective leader of a global missions movement, a desire instilled in many ways by Bill. • Dr. Enoch Wan, president of the Evangelical Missiological Society, head of the Doctor of Intercultural Studies program at Western Seminary, and missiologist par excellence. He is a masterful mentor of both missiology and academic process and I am deeply grateful that he has been willing to stick with me over the past decade! • Dr. Marshall Christensen, founder of Co-Serve International, provost of the Kazak-American Free University at East Kazakstan State University, former president of Warner Pacific College and Fulbright scholar. A gifted encourager and educator who showed me the importance of integrating education, business and missions for the sake of God’s global purposes. • Dr. Gerry Breshears, professor of theology at Western Seminary and past president of the Evangelical Theological Society. He instilled in me an xi appreciation for systematic theology that informs all of my studies, not just those in theology. • Dr. Ralph Winter, one of the 21st century’s most extraordinary missiologists, founder of the U.S. Center for World Missions and William Carey International University. His brilliance in all fields, not just missiology, inspired me to see, understand, and appreciate missions as being broad and deep and fully integrated with other domains of knowledge, and relevant in all domains of life. His words one fateful day in early October of 2004 at the Lausanne Forum in Thailand ultimately led to my pursuing a Ph.D. (Our lunch conversation pertained to missiological studies. He commented that a D.Min. is a “doctor of minimums.” I responded, “That’s why I’m doing a D.Miss.” To which he replied, “A D.Miss. is a near miss. You are doing Ph.D. level work but you don’t get a Ph.D. for it!” At which point I entered into a small but very real personal crisis!) • Dr. William Lane Craig, past president of the Evangelical Philosophical Society and old friend from Brussels. I have watched in awe over the past 25 years as he has skillfully defended Christianity and biblical worldview. He constantly inspires me to strive to go beyond my perceived intellectual limits.

  • Humor, Humoristas E Problemas De Topia Discursiva
    DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1982-4017-150204-1115 HUMOR, HUMORISTAS E PROBLEMAS DE TOPIA DISCURSIVA Rony Petterson Gomes do Vale* Universidade Federal de Viçosa Centro de Ciências Humanas e Artes Departamento de Letras Viçosa, MG, Brasil Resumo: Partindo do conceito de campo discursivo e da história do humorismo, traçamos, em linhas gerais, o caminho do humor das entrelinhas da literatura para sua institucionalização enquanto campo do humor. Procuramos evidenciar, primeiramente, como o humor passa de característica estilística de alguns escritores e poetas para certa regulamentação da profissão de humorista junto aos campos do jornalismo e da publicidade. Em um segundo momento, verificamos que o conceito de VRBANITAS, que regulamenta os usos do riso no discurso, pode ser percebido a partir das disputas de posicionamento entre os sujeitos dentro do campo do humor, que se diferenciam de acordo com a concepção adotada sobre o que é fazer humor e fazer rir, e com os modos de adaptação às constantes mudanças sociais, às novas formas de mídias e ao movimento politicamente correto. Palavras-chave: Humorismo brasileiro. Campos discursivos. Análise do Discurso. Método confuso. Politicamente correto. 1 INTRODUÇÃO Se partirmos da ideia de que ―todo discurso se constrói na intersecção entre um campo de ação, lugar de trocas simbólicas organizado segundo relações de força [...], e um campo de enunciação, lugar dos mecanismos de encenação da linguagem‖ (CHARAUDEAU, 2006b, p. 52 – grifos nossos), podemos, então, assumir que o conceito de topia discursiva não somente diz respeito a ―um espaço do que é dizível em uma sociedade‖ (MAINGUENEAU, 2010, p. 170), mas também a um espaço do que é dizível dentro de um dado campo de discurso.

Matthew 28:19 Dear Family of St. Paul's, e are a mission post for W youth as we stay true to our overall mission of witnessing lives transformed through Jesus Christ. Last Sunday we celebrated two young adult baptisms, and this coming Sunday we will celebrate two more: a mother and daughter together, while another member of their family receives his First Communion along with the rest of the class. On May 28th, we will hold a youth-led service at 10:30 am, with Patrick O'Connors delivering the sermon and our youth offering the children's sermon, leading the lessons from Scripture, the intercessions, and serving as prayer servants on that Healing Sunday. By the grace of God, we stay on message, keeping the main thing the main thing, with Christ as our center. As we keep our eyes on Jesus, may God continue to bless our parish abundantly. Faithfully, † Unstoppable! by John Tuthhill rother Andrew (his full name, "Andrew van der Bijl") is understandably much B better known in English-speaking countries by his mercifully much-shortened nicknames. He is a Christian missionary, born in the Netherlands (1928), and, as you may know, he is famous for his exploits illegally smuggling Bibles to believers in underground churches in China, the Middle East, and especially into many communist countries behind the "Iron Curtain" at the height of the Cold War.

  • Listening to God and the Missio Dei
    Listening to God and the missio Dei By Murray Harold Olson B.Sc, B.Theol A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Divinity Date 12 February, 2016 1 ABSTRACT The early church was a church of mission; incarnational mission. This changed when the church entered into the Christendom era and church membership grew by birth, rather than by conversion, so there was no need for mission. The decline of numbers attending church services in recent years forced the church to look at mission and a number of church-centred models have developed. But in recent years there has been an awareness that mission is not the mission of the church. It is the missio Dei, the mission of God. In this thesis I have outlined the evolution of the concept of the missio Dei and its importance to the church. I have also given some examples of the way that the missio Dei has been put into action and the importance of listening to God when you are involved in it. This listening to God involves listening, individually and as a church, to God using prayer and Scripture. It also involves listening to God in the lives of the people in our neighbourhoods. This is because God is active in our neighbourhoods and we can join in this activity of God. 2 STATEMENT OF ORIGINALITY I hereby certify that this thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any degree or diploma in any university or other institution and affirm to the best of my knowledge, that this thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference in made in the text of the thesis.
