  • Landa, Paul Joseph (1941–1997)
    Image not found or type unknown Landa, Paul Joseph (1941–1997) MILTON HOOK Milton Hook, Ed.D. (Andrews University, Berrien Springs, Michigan, the United States). Hook retired in 1997 as a minister in the Greater Sydney Conference, Australia. An Australian by birth Hook has served the Church as a teacher at the elementary, academy and college levels, a missionary in Papua New Guinea, and as a local church pastor. In retirement he is a conjoint senior lecturer at Avondale College of Higher Education. He has authoredFlames Over Battle Creek, Avondale: Experiment on the Dora, Desmond Ford: Reformist Theologian, Gospel Revivalist, the Seventh-day Adventist Heritage Series, and many magazine articles. He is married to Noeleen and has two sons and three grandchildren. Paul Joseph Landa was a religion and history professor in North America. Early Life, Education, and Marriage Paul Joseph Landa was born in Constantine Province, Algeria, on January 31, 1941, when his parents, Eugene and Emmanuele (Baldino) Landa were missionaries. A younger sister, Ruth, was his only sibling.1 The family remained in Algeria until World War II ended2 and then transferred to France, first at Marseille and later at Angers.3 In 1951 they moved yet again so that Eugene could adopt the role of superintendent of the Israel Mission.4 Later, in 1954, Eugene was appointed to be the secretary of the French Oceania Mission.5 For Paul the five major moves during the first fifteen years of his life disrupted his early schooling, but he endured the circumstances without any apparent disadvantage. When he was sixteen he enrolled at the Australasian Missionary College (AMC), 1957, and repeated his last year of academy level education in order to be sure of his readiness for college level studies.

    ADVENTISTS AFFIRM : Famine or Feast? http://www.adventistsaffirm.org/article/203/previous-issues/volume-21-... Home > Previous Issues > Volume 21, Number 2 > EDITOR'S CORNER JERRY A. STEVENS Retired General Conference Worker/ Ponderer of Our Changing Times As promised in our last issue, we offer herewith its companion volume devoted to the pulpit ministry. The immediate emphasis falls within the time span extending from the second half of the 20th century up to the present time—in other words, the era of “modern” preaching. But we include, as is our usual practice, timeless counsel from the pen of inspiration. We daresay that if we polled our readers to suggest the single best sermon they ever heard, we would receive a dizzying variety of answers. Be assured, then, that your very favorite sermon is very likely not reprinted here. This is not to say—no, not at all—that we have thrown together a strictly arbitrary anthology of mediocre sermons or “filler” material in the present volume. On the contrary, each sermon has been carefully selected and endorsed by our editorial board. Considered individually, each addresses provocative, sometimes even sensitive, topics. Taken as a whole, they represent a wide spectrum of current trends and concerns—some highly alarming—among us as a people. The names of the speakers, for the most part, may be familiar to most of our readers. We would like to suggest, however, that each reader make a concerted effort to “listen” very attentively to the “spoken” word. See whether the Holy Spirit just now may be spreading a banquet table in the wilderness—a veritable feast in the midst of the prevailing spiritual famine (Amos 8:11 ).

Carmel Adventist College began as the Darling Range School early in 1907. Beginnings In 1906 one could take the steam train from Perth, Western Australia, and travel up the zigzag line to a ridge in the Darling Range that led to Canning Mills where jarrah trees were sawn into lumber. Along the ridge the train would stop briefly at places such as Gooseberry Hill, Heidelberg, Green’s Landing, and Pickering Brook. In the surrounding valleys early settlers were establishing orchards.1 A small group of settlers at Heidelberg (renamed Bickley) and Green’s Landing (renamed Carmel) were new converts to Seventh-day Adventism. They became aware that their church leaders in Western Australia wished to establish a school for the training of denominational workers and missionaries.

  • World Youth Impact Thailand Bangkok, Thailand
    FEBRUARY 7, 2004 RECORD In this issue Lives changed in PNG meetings Adventist mother forgives murderer Ellen White for today Leighton Heise (fourth from right) and other worship leaders and band from Australia worship with 1300 young people from 70 countries at the world youth conference in Thailand. World youth impact Thailand Bangkok, Thailand nd you thought you came here for a nice vacation, to visit a new country, to hang out with Ayour friends,” said Pastor José Rojas with a chuckle, addressing the more than 1300 delegates on the opening night of the World Conference on Youth and Community Service: Impact 10/40, held in Bangkok, Thailand, December 30 to January 3. Pastor Rojas, director of Volunteer Ministries for the North American Division, was the principal speaker for the event. The conference was the first international youth conference organised by the Adventist Church and attracted young people from more than 70 countries. Before arriving at the conference, most participants were involved in one of about 30 service projects across Thailand. According to Pastor Gilbert Cangy, director of Youth Ministries for the South Pacific Division, this was an integral part of planning this event. Statistics “What sparked the imagination of all the leaders was the notion that the conference would be located in a part of the world where there is hardly any Christian presence and that the whole exercise would be driven by service and evangelism,” he recalls. “Thailand was seen as a place that that would provide a great opportunity to make a difference for God.” Pastor Cangy reports that young people from around the world—including 170 young people from the South Pacific Division—were involved in a variety of service activities.

His host family wanted to treat him to a new culinary experience, so they took him out one evening to their favorite Chinese restaurant. After the meal, the Chinese waiter brought each of them a little Christmas gift. It was a small, brass Christmas tree ornament that was stamped with the words “Made in India.” They all laughed at the irony of receiving a “Made in India” gift from a Chinese restaurant. But suddenly, everyone stopped chuckling when they noticed tears rolling down the rabbi’s cheeks. Had they offended him in some way? “Nyet,” the rabbi replied. “I was shedding tears of joy to be in a country in which a Buddhist gives a Jew a Christmas gift made by a Hindu.” 1 Such peaceful co-existence and affirmation doesn’t happen often between religious faiths. Even today, religious differences frequently escalate into fierce war. It’s no wonder that many people want to dismantle the religious “Berlin Wall” that exists between faiths. In no other community is this truer than within Christianity. Even though all Christian churches profess faith in Jesus as the Son of God, they have not been able to find a way to form a single, united group.

  • Fall 2007 Opening Comments
    The Magazine of Southern Adventist University COLUMNS Fall 2007 Opening Comments Dinosaur Mom wasn’t exactly excited when my son, Dakota, first developed a passion Ifor dinosaurs. I had grown up believing that these massive beasts had been created by the devil, and I wanted nothing to do with them. But when Dakota saw Discovery Channel’s Walking With Dinosaurs, everything changed. Before I knew it, my then 3-year-old son was pronouncing the complicated names of dozens of prehistoric creatures and explaining to anyone who would listen the diet, bone structure, and unique traits of each one. Now, one of the things I promised myself when I embarked on motherhood is that I wouldn’t reject any of my children’s interests without first fully understanding it. Moreover, a family mission statement that my husband and I had put together when Dakota was young reminded us daily to encourage our children’s exploration of their interests. Having seen many young people develop an interest during childhood that has turned into a lifelong passion, bringing fulfillment as they incorporate that passion into career and service (see “Jessica Marlier’s Good Race” on page 22), I knew that if God was calling Dakota to be a paleontologist, I didn’t want to get in the way. “Maybe this is a good thing,” I said to my husband. “I’m sure God could do great things with a creation-believing paleontologist.” With that statement, I began a journey that would take many twists and turns as I sought answers to my questions about dinosaurs.

For one thing my mother-in-law would not let me forget Allen Walker. She spoke often of that bold, self- educated, southern evangelist who had introduced her to Christ and His message in a tent revival soon after she was married. Later as an aspiring young evangelist in Florida, I heard other ministers speak almost reverently about the spiritual exploits of Allen Walker. His fantastic knowledge of the Scriptures, a fearless nature, and unassailable logic made him almost a legend through the southland where he conducted protracted evangelistic “efforts.” By my second public crusade in 1950 he was retired, yet he still had a daily radio program operating in Dothan, Alabama, just a few miles from Tallahassee, Florida, where I was pastoring. I made it a point to visit with him at every possible opportunity, plying him with questions about soul-winning.
