February 2021 Mission Prayer Prompts February 2021 Mission Prayer Prompts The COVID-19 worldwide pandemic has affected the ministry of all the missionaries we support. Limits and restrictions have been implemented that restrict travel, size of gatherings, etc., just as we have experienced here in America. In some cases the restrictions are greater than we experienced here. Please note this fact as you read this Prayer Prompter. Stephanie Alderman –Togo, Africa. Church planter working with women and children ministries. Here is the Converge link to the work Stephanie is focusing on: https://converge.org/project/africa/6-degree- initiative/togo-church-planting to learn more. You may remember that voodoo is heavily practiced in Togo. One percent of the population is Christian. Stephanie has been in the U.S. on home assignment during the COVID-19 pandemic. She has returned to Togo since the travel restrictions were lifted. Bob and Barb Bartz – Jakarta, Indonesia. Far Eastern Broadcasting Company. Bringing Christ to the Nations through Media. Bob and Barb returned to Jakarta just as COVID-19 began to spread worldwide. They have been living with limits due to the pandemic. No travel and great care being taken to stay healthy and they have stayed healthy. Bob was encouraged by FEBC to explore his options in finding a ministry organization who would benefit from his Content in Context seminar during the pandemic. Here are Bob’s words from his October newsletter: “Working from home was further confirmed by ministry developments across FEBC. The ongoing travel limitations highlighted the need for FEBC members to rely on local staff for ministry expertise. I was encouraged by FEBC to explore media opportunities with other ministries, of which there were several. With the onset of the pandemic, more ministries are turning to media in digital environments as a means of reaching those exploring answers to life's questions. One such ministry, is developing media resources and services to support their ministry teams working among many of the least reached people groups around the world. Following a series of contacts with the director of this initiative, I've been loaned from FEBC to serve as media strategist, consulting and equipping ministry teams to apply media to their ministry strategies. Already I've been interacting with several interested teams. The Content in Context workshop that I developed fits right into my new role with this new organization (Bob asked we not share name over the internet). However, there are significant adjustments to be made. In the past, the workshop has been conducted in specific locations where teams can gather together. The lack of travel and restrictions on gatherings due to the pandemic further illustrates the need for this workshop to be available online. So my first major focus over the past few months has been shifting the concepts and applications of the workshop into a module based format for teams to access virtually and at their own pace. This requires adapting to available platforms and modifying team activities to accommodate this.” Because of the new organization Bob works for is international and is being formatted to be used online rather in workshop gatherings, it is no longer necessary to be based in Jakarta, Indonesia. Bob and Barb are planning on moving back to the United States to base their work from here. They emphasize they are not retiring from work at this time. Since their work is internet based, they are simply changing home base locations to work from. CrossRoads will continue to support them in this new but similar endeavor. For more info: https://www.febc.org/give-to-missionary/bob-and-barbara-bartz/ Peter and Carmosina Carlson – Wycliff Translators working from North Carolina in the Portuguese language. Peter sends big news: “Yes, it is time for Carmosina and me to retire from Wycliff Translators effective October 31, 2020. We have served for 41 years and 47 years respectively.” Thank you, Peter and Carmosina, for a lifetime of serving the Lord in translation work. You have been found faithful! It has been a privilege for CrossRoads Church to be on your team! This will be the last inclusion of the Carlsons in our prayer prompter. For more info: https://www.wycliffe.org/partner/pccarlson Asian Missionaries – Converge missionaries sharing the Gospel with Hui Musl*m group living in the same country. This couple has been restricted also by the pandemic. They have been outside of their host country back in the country of their birth waiting for travel restrictions to be lifted. “We are now staying with Mao’s mom. We know this is from the Lord, for us to be able to have extended time with her.” I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his Word I put my hope. Psalm 130:5 Prayer topics: For spiritual breakthroughs that some of us are still waiting for, in our personal lives and in our ministry!! We wait for breakthroughs with the Hui also… 1. That when the Hui hear the Gospel, they will understand Abba Father’s love and follow Him. 2. That God will display His power over evil amongst the Hui, and open their eyes to the truth that Jesus is their Savior and Lord. For more info: https://converge.org/missionary/mao-phoenix Juan and Elena Felipe – Minnesota / Iowa Conference Baptist Missionaries serving in Pelican Rapids and Park Rapids. Juan is a Pastor and an evangelist to Spanish speakers living in our State. Juan shared in his last letter that he and his immediate family did get COVID-19. They were not hospitalized, but were very sick and weak. Recovery is ongoing and still they feel weak. They seek our prayers for full recovery. They were sick for four weeks. Many in his two congregations have also experienced sickness from COVID-19. Pastor Felipe shared one story in his last letter: “In November, this young man come to my house and gave himself to the Lord, asking for forgiveness of his sins. We were so happy to have been part of this decision. My wife and I left that afternoon to go to our service in Park Rapids, MN, as we do every Saturday. When we returned, he was ready to be baptized and it could not wait. By 10 p.m., this young man was baptized and reborn. This is how the Lord has been blessing us. We will not stop preaching His word, even with the pandemic raging, we will overcome.” Pastor Felipe thanks CrossRoads for our financial support of his ministry. For more info: https://converge.org/north-central/giving-campaign/juan-felipe Todd and Karen Indehar – Converge Missionaries evangelizing and church planting in Thailand. You may recall that the Church plant area in Bangkok is in the inner city slums. Recently, Todd led a team to a northern province to share the Gospel and more with children of a village. Please pray for these requests Todd shared: 1. Protection from the evil one. This is strategic, end-times ministry and we have had significant warfare in the past. 2. Wisdom as to next steps. We got the phone number of the village elder. He will need to give us an official invitation if we are to return to do some kind of formal activity. We will contact him soon. We have funding to do some kind of outreach event and hope to do it sometime in April, 2021. 3. Confirmation that a language preservation project is the bridge into this community. We are specifically praying for sufficient funding, a person or team with expertise in language preservation, and/or a church planting team to complete this project. 4. Unengaged Unreached People Groups. According to Finishing the Task, there are 218 remaining unengaged, unreached people groups numbering over 5.7 million souls that are still beyond the reach of the Gospel in Thailand. These 218 ethnic groups are perhaps the neediest of the needy as they are unengaged, which means that no church, no missionary, no mission agency…no one has yet taken responsibility to tell them about Jesus Christ. As always, thank you for your prayer and support. For more info: https://converge.org/missionary/todd-karen-indehar David and Carol J. – Converge Asian Director of Missions. There is a degree of uncertainty with the ministries I participate in throughout Asia. And yet these words spoken by Jesus readily come to mind: “Don’t be afraid; just keep trusting…” [Luke 8:50] As we trust, here is some of what we see coming about: Seeing God’s work around the world. That gives us hope, and joy, and expectation. From Dave’s newsletter: “The organization I work with, Converge, is asking God for a gospel movement among every least-reached people group — in our generation. In 2020, 1,769 churches were launched (bold is my emphasis) in cooperation with international partners — all among the world's least-reached peoples. These new churches are discipling 28,304 newly baptized believers. In addition, 20 new Converge global workers passed the assessment process. Converge now has 175 workers around the globe with another 63 preparing to deploy. I am diligently searching for partnership in ministry among the least-reached people of Asia. I am discovering local workers and building stronger partnerships in Japan, India, China, Thailand, Indonesia, and Philippines.” NOTE: this short video Pray for Buddhists (prayercast.com) (https://prayercast.com/buddhism- landing.html for further information) may be of interest to you.

  • Clinical Social Franchising Compendium an Annual Survey of Programs: findings from 2015
    Clinical Social Franchising Compendium An annual survey of programs: findings from 2015 Social Franchising for Health innovate » demonstrate » replicate In many countries, private healthcare providers play a significant role in providing essential healthcare services. They may be the first point of contact for people with the most common ailments or the preferred source of healthcare for people with the rarest conditions. In many low- and middle-income countries, they provide care for the poor as well as the rich segments of the population. Quite often, they operate as islands, with little to no engagement with other healthcare providers or accreditation and regulation systems. Conversely, healthcare systems have found it challenging to engage with private healthcare providers (especially at the primary care level) in the effort to implement standards of care, or to enlist their efforts for critical public health initiatives. Social franchising—a way of organizing private sector healthcare providers into networks using select commercial franchising principles— presents one practical approach to working with networks of private healthcare providers to carry out population-wide health initiatives.

  • Assisted Reproductive Technologies, Commodification and Biopolitics
    Third-Party Reproduction: Assisted Reproductive Technologies, Commodification and Biopolitics by Bojana Bogeljic A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Sociology Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2015 Bojana Bogeljic Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate the issues that arise in Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) through cross-border reproductive travel, the global trade in ova and the contracting of surrogates. The concern is around the commercialization and commodification of women and children, as well as the risks associated with the global for-profit ART industry. The project is divided into three case studies. First, the Canadian ART context shows that restrictive federal policy is challenged by transnational ART. The second case study reveals that international online fertility networks are created and located opportunistically in destination countries where surrogates and egg donors can be recruited. The last case study reveals a trend in some destination countries towards more restrictive ART legal frameworks. In conclusion, this thesis argues that the patterns of cross-border ART are shaped by government regulations and the local availability of egg donors and surrogates. ii Acknowledgements I am truly indebted to my supervisor, Dr. Amine Mire, for encouraging me to look further into this topic following a presentation on gestational surrogacy. Gradually, I have been able to develop this research into an MA thesis thanks to your continuous support and guidance. Throughout this whole process, you have taught me the importance of theoretical concepts and pushed me in the right direction in this complex field of ART.

  • April 2021 Mission Prayer Prompts
    April 2021 Mission Prayer Prompts The Covid-19 worldwide pandemic has affected the ministry of all the missionaries we support. Limits and restrictions have been implemented that restricts travel, size of gatherings, etc., just as we have experienced here in America. In some cases the restrictions are greater than we experienced here. But is seems from the newsletters, things are beginning to open back up. PTL. Stephanie Alderman – Togo, Africa. Church planter working with women and children ministries. Here is the Converge link to the work Stephanie is focusing on: https://converge.org/project/africa/6-degree- initiative/togo-church-planting to learn more. You may remember that voodoo is heavily practiced in Togo and has been for over 600 years. One percent of the population is Christian. Our vision for our new kids curriculum, DMD (Disciples Making Disciples) Kids, is in the name; we want them to become disciple makers. So our challenge to them is simple, share what you heard on Sunday with one or more of your friends. As of today, 80 kids have heard the gospel from their friends and three have chosen to follow Christ. Please be in prayer with us as we develop our teaching team, continue helping kids become disciple makers, and pray and work toward our goal of 190,000 disciples. I would say this is the multiplication principal in action! Bob and Barb Bartz – Working virtually from Florida through online contact. Far Eastern Broadcasting Company loaned Bob to an organization which is developing media resources and services to support their ministry teams working among many of the least reached people groups around the world.
