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.

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.

Collaboration, Christian Mission and Contextualisation: the Overseas Missionary Fellowship in West Malaysia from 1952 to 1977
Collaboration, Christian Mission and Contextualisation: The Overseas Missionary Fellowship in West Malaysia from 1952 to 1977 Allen MCCLYMONT A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Kingston University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History. Submitted June 2021 ABSTRACT The rise of communism in China began a chain of events which eventually led to the largest influx of Protestant missionaries into Malaya and Singapore in their history. During the Malayan Emergency (1948-1960), a key part of the British Government’s strategy to defeat communist insurgents was the relocation of more than 580,000 predominantly Chinese rural migrants into what became known as the ‘New Villages’. This thesis examines the response of the Overseas Missionary Fellowship (OMF), as a representative of the Protestant missionary enterprise, to an invitation from the Government to serve in the New Villages. It focuses on the period between their arrival in 1952 and 1977, when the majority of missionaries had left the country, and assesses how successful the OMF was in fulfilling its own expectation and those of the Government that invited them. It concludes that in seeking to fulfil Government expectation, residential missionaries were an influential presence, a presence which contributed to the ongoing viability of the New Villages after their establishment and beyond Independence. It challenges the portrayal of Protestant missionaries as cultural imperialists as an outdated paradigm with which to assess their role. By living in the New Villages under the same restrictions as everyone else, missionaries unconsciously became conduits of Western culture and ideas. At the same time, through learning local languages and supporting indigenous agency, they encouraged New Village inhabitants to adapt to Malaysian society, while also retaining their Chinese identity.

FUNG MARCH 2016 ABSTRACT Training Everyday Missionaries and Disciple-making Disciples with Irvine Presbyterian Church Gabriel C. Fung Doctor of Ministry School of Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary 2016 The purpose of this doctoral project was to implement a pilot missional community as one way of helping Irvine Presbyterian Church live out their mission, “to make disciples who make disciples.” It proposed helping congregants shift their understanding from church as a place to church as a people by training and equipping them to be everyday missionaries and disciple-making disciples within the vehicle of a missional community, which can be described as an extended family following Jesus on mission together. To test this thesis, a pilot missional community was launched in March 2014 and is currently ongoing with around thirty participants. Through an exploration of Scripture, this project identified God as the original missional community. Accordingly, God’s people are called to join him on his mission in the world: Jesus’ disciples are missionary disciples and the Church is the Spirit-led and empowered sent people of God.

Overview Sources indicate that the Disciples Society [Society of Disciples, Association of Disciples, Mentu Hui, Mentuhui] is also known as "The Narrow Gate in the Wilderness" (ChinaSource 13 Mar. 2015; Lian 2010, 223) or "Kuangye Zhaimen" (Lian 2010, 223). According to sources, the Disciples Society was founded by Ji Sanbao, a farmer from Shanxi, in 1989 (Lian 2010, 223; ChinaSource 13 Mar. 2015). In his book Redeemed by Fire: The Rise of Popular Christianity in Modern China, Xi Lian, a Professor of World Christianity at Duke University whose research is "focused on China's modern encounter with Christianity" (Duke University n.d.), indicates that "[b]y 1985, Ji [Sanbao] began to build a following among the rural population" and in 1989, "he announced that God had spoken to him in person" and chosen him as his "'prophet'" and "'stand-in'"; Ji Sanbao then selected "twelve 'disciples,'" thus formally founding the Disciples Society (Lian 2010, 223).

Show Breakthroughto a Church Group. Here Are a Few
“Every Christian needs a historical mentor.” - Amy (Barstad) Law, Perspectives speaker and Youth with a Mission (YWAM) mobilizer. The story of James O. Fraser can be used to inspire others to learn more about missions and how they too can make a difference. Show Breakthrough to a church group. Here are a few suggestions: Small groups • Sunday school classes • Youth groups • Bible study groups Perspectives on the World Christian Movement classes • College groups Discussion questions to consider after the docudrama. ▶ What impacted you most about this story? ▶ How did God work in this situation? ▶ What challenges do you face that might be similar to Fraser’s? ▶ What might have happened to the Lisu if Fraser and others like him had not gone to live near them? ▶ How do you see the role of prayer in this story? ▶ How can we more effectively participate in God’s desire for everyone to hear the truth about Jesus? Visit the official Breakthrough website at www.jofraser.org for more in-depth group discussion questions and how to effectively use the film to encourage people on their missions journey. OMF International was founded as the China Inland Mission in 1865. It was then that J. Hudson Taylor knelt upon the beach at Brighton, England and “prayed for twenty- four willing, skillful laborers” to reach the untouched inland provinces of China. Today OMF International is a diverse evangelical mission agency of more than 1,200 workers from 30 different countries. We serve the church and take the gospel to many countries in East Asia, place christian professionals in short and long-term programs in East Asian countries and share the love of Christ with East Asians worldwide.
