Revell Company LONDON AND EDINBURGH Copyright Copyright, 1920, by FLEMING H. REVELL COMPANY New York: 158 Fifth Avenue Chicago : 17 North Wabash Ave. London : 21 Paternostei Square Edinburgh 75 Princes Street TO MY DEAR HUSBAND WHO THROUGH THIRTY YEARS HAS KEPT ME "FAITHFUL TO THE BEST THINGS OF LIFE. FOREWORD THIS little book was originally intended for the use of Christian women of the Malayalam country, but the writer has been persuaded to issue an English edition. Nearly the whole of the matter has been the subject of conversations with the Sadhu himself, with whom we have enjoyed much inspiring companionship and with whose permission the book is issued. This word picture of a true servant of the Great Master should be an inspiration to all Christian men and women in India, and it docs not seem too much to hope that Indians of all classes will see how truly Jesus Christ can manifest Himself in and through the people of this great land, and how worthy He is to be India's Lord and Saviour. ARTHUR PARKER. London Mission, Trivandram. A LETTER FROM SADHU SUNDAR SINGH (WRITTEN IN ROMAN-URDU) Jab main is chhothi kitab ka MSS dekh raha tha to yih bat safai so dekhne men ai ki Khuda ki Ruh ne kaise ajib taur se Mrs. R. J.

The Greatest Faith Ever Preached Sunday December 30, 2012 We've
The Greatest Faith Ever Preached Sunday December 30, 2012 We’ve had a great year as a church in 2012. God has been very gracious to us. We’ve seen wonderful growth in reaching out to people • GodTV • We were part of VisionIndia training up 8,600 young people from about 15 states across North India. In addition, 12,000 sets of our Hindi publications (12 titles) i.e. 1,44,000 copies of our publications distributed at VisionIndia itself! • Short Term Bible college at Champa, where we graduated 45 students • Missions Trips by our young people to Chattarpur • Two more new locations in Bangalore East and West • APC-Mangalore moved into Mangalore city and encouraging response from students there • APC moved into a new office • …and so much more… As we look ahead to 2013, we as a church must be ready to reach out both in our city and across our nation. Jesus gave one of the indicators of the end of this age. He said “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” (Matthew 24:14) This morning we are going to talk about “The Greatest Faith Ever Preached” Mark 16:14-20 There were 11 unbelieving disciples. Jesus rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart – even after being with Jesus for 3 years, seeing and hearing all that He did and taught – they still doubted His resurrection. To these men, He gave the great commission – to take the Gospel to the ends of the world! From a group of 11 unbelieving disciples, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, has spread to the nations.

Rethinking “Rethinking” by H
Gospel Ferment in India among both Hindus and Christians Rethinking “Rethinking” by H. L. Richard n the early and middle decades of the twentieth century there was something of a “Rethinking Movement” in Indian Christianity. From Ithe discussions stirred up by the remarkable leaders of that movement, “Rethinking” in the context of Indian church history refers to concerns to develop deeply Indian (contextual, in today’s terminology) expressions of biblical life and faith as against traditional patterns of Christian discipleship which were introduced to India from abroad. The most noted expression of the Rethinking Movement, which gave it its name, was the book Rethinking Christianity in India. This Rethinking book was prepared in anticipation of the Tambaram International Missionary Conference held just outside Madras in 1939. The Rethinking Group (as the contributors to that volume and some of their friends are commonly known) objected severely to numerous aspects of the agenda of church and mission leadership both internationally and especially in India. More explanation of the Rethinking Group and their concerns will be presented later in this paper. The paper seeks to outline a broad history of Rethinking, considering both forerunners and descendents of the Rethinking Group as well as that group itself. The topic is vast and so a focus is placed on conferences and organizations specifically concerned with analysis of the work of Christ in India. The point of the paper is to rethink the Rethinking agenda and analyze its continued relevance at the present time.1 Three different types of “Rethinking conferences” will be considered, with examples from each being introduced at some length.

Christian Spirituality from an Indian Perspective
Sunder Singh and N.V. Tilak: Lessions for missiology from 20th century India David Emmanuel Singh Oxford Centre for Mission Studies Introduction Early centuries of the Christian era were charged with followers of Jesus crisscrossing their world. There are not many parts of the world that can boast of having had a somewhat direct part in Jesus himself. Early disciples travelled to witness to their faith in Jesus. St. Thomas is believed to have come to India. Whether one believe in the tale of St Thomas or not, one can have a taste of a faith that is truly ancient. Christianity by far predates modern missions in several waves and, yet, Christianity has remained one of the smallest minorities in the subcontinent. Why has Christianity done so dismally in terms of numbers in the land of the great world religions? There is no single answer to this; but one can advance a possibility: India has had a lot of Chrisianity but not enough of the person of Jesus. This is certainly what Gandhi believed the fundamental problem with Indian Christianity was. There were the usual trappings of a well organised religion with clearly fashioned dogmas, church hierarchy, implicit or explicit displays of power – but not enough of Jesus likeness in terms of a truly incarnational and vicarious life! I would like to present here two examples of Indian Christians from the heartland of Hindu India. They bore the marks of the living Jesus and, despite short lives, showed what was possible. Their model of Christian life was consigned to the margins and soon forgotton.

Mission Quotes
World Christian Quotes Assembled and adapted by Mark Struck "The command has been to ʻgo,ʼ but we have stayed—in body, gifts, prayer and influence. He has asked us to be witnesses unto the uttermost parts of the earth. But 99% of Christians have kept puttering around in the homeland." - Robert Savage "While vast continents are shrouded in darkness the burden of proof lies upon you to show that the circumstances in which God has placed you were meant by God to keep you out of the foreign mission field." - Ion Keith-Falconer "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 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." - Gladys Aylward "Brother, if you would enter that Province, you must go forward on your knees." - J. Hudson Taylor "The man looking at him with a smile that only half concealed his contempt, inquired, "Now Mr. Morrison do you really expect that you will make an impression on the idolatry of the Chinese Empire?" "No sir," said Morrison, "but I expect that God will." - Robert Morrison "Here am I. Send me." - Isaiah "And people who do not know the Lord ask why in the world we waste our lives as missionaries. They forget that they too are expending their lives and when the bubble has burst they will have nothing of eternal significance to show for the years they have wasted." - Nate Saint, martyr "Had I cared for the comments of people, I should never have been a missionary." - C.T.
