Adoniram Judson's Mission to Burma Adoniram Judson’s Mission to Burma Missionaries throughout history have risked everything to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with those who need to hear about His love. Some have traveled great distances, like Adoniram Judson. Some have shared not only the Gospel with people but food, medicine, and education as well. In this game, your job is to deliver the Word of God, food, medicine, and education to the people in need. To accomplish this, you will need to answer many questions about this famous missionary to Burma and learn about his part in the story of grace God continues to write on hearts today. To play this game, you will need: 2-4 players The board on the following page The two pages of supply tokens, cut apart The seven pages of quiz cards, cut apart One distinct marker for each player To prepare, shuffle the supply tokens and place them face-down beside the board. Shuffle the quiz cards and place them face-down in a separate pile beside the board. 1. Each player places a marker on one of the solid color spaces on the board. 2. Drawing a quiz card (two variations): For younger players not familiar with the story, the first player draws a card, reads the question and answer (or has it read to them), and then moves the number of spaces indicated on the card. Play then continues to the next player. For older players familiar with the story, the person to the first player’s right draws a card and reads the question. If the player answers correctly, he or she moves the number of spaces indicated on the card. If the player answers incorrectly, the player does not move and play continues to the next player. 3. Each player on his turn moves from his starting space (home mission) toward the center of the board. Players can move vertically or horizontally but cannot move diagonally. Players do not need to land on the center space by exact count. Once there, the player draws a supply token from the top of the pile. The supply shown becomes his destination. On each of his turns, the player will move toward his destina tion until he reaches it (exact count is not needed). When he arrives, he will deliver his supply. On the following turn, he will begin the journey back to his home mission. Once he arrives, he begins a mission again to the center of the board to pick up a new supply token and receive his next destination. 4. Play ends when (multiple variations, choose one): All the supply tokens have been delivered All the quiz questions have been answered or read A player has delivered a certain number of supplies A player has delivered one of each of the supplies Players have played for a predetermined amount of time There are additional blank quiz cards for you to create your own questions about Adoniram Judson.

  • Mandalay and Printing Press Industry.Pdf
    Title Mandalay and the Printing Industry All Authors Yan Naing Lin Local Publication Publication Type Publisher (Journal name, Mandalay University Researh Journal, Vol. 7 issue no., page no etc.) Literature, a kind of aesthetic art, is an effective tool for enlightenment, entertainment and propagation. It also reveals the politics, economy, social conditions and cultural aspects of certain period. Likewise, the books distribute the religious, political and cultural ideologies throughout the world. The books play a crucial role in the history of human innovations. The invention of printing press is the most important milestone to distribute various literary works and scientific knowledge. Since the last days of the monarchical rule, King Mindon who realized the importance of literature in propagation of Buddhism and wellbeing of kingdom included the foundation of printing industry in his reformation works. He published the first newspaper of Mandalay to counterpoise the propagation of British from Lower Myanmar. Abstract However, the printing industry of Mandalay in the reigns of King Mindon and King Thibaw was limited in the Buddhist cultural norms and could not provided the knowledge of the people. During the colonial period, the printing industry of Mandalay transformed into the tool to boost the knowledge and nationalist sentiment of people. The Wunthanu movement, nationalist movement, anti-colonialist struggle and struggle for independence under the AFPFL leadership as well as the struggle for peace in post independence era in Upper Myanmar were instigated by the Mandalay printing industry. Nevertheless, the printing industry of Mandalay was gradually on the wane under Revolutionary Council Government which practiced strict censorship on the newspapers and other periodicals.

  • In One Sacred Effort – Elements of an American Baptist Missiology
    In One Sacred Effort Elements of an American Baptist Missiology by Reid S. Trulson © Reid S. Trulson Revised February, 2017 1 American Baptist International Ministries was formed over two centuries ago by Baptists in the United States who believed that God was calling them to work together “in one sacred effort” to make disciples of all nations. Organized in 1814, it is the oldest Baptist international mission agency in North America and the second oldest in the world, following the Baptist Missionary Society formed in England in 1792 to send William and Dorothy Carey to India. International Ministries currently serves more than 1,800 short- term and long-term missionaries annually, bringing U.S. and Puerto Rico churches together with partners in 74 countries in ministries that tell the good news of Jesus Christ while meeting human needs. This is a review of the missiology exemplified by American Baptist International Ministries that has both emerged from and helped to shape American Baptist life. 2 American Baptists are better understood as a movement than an institution. Whether religious or secular, movements tend to be diverse, multi-directional and innovative. To retain their character and remain true to their core purpose beyond their first generation, movements must be able to do two seemingly opposite things. They must adopt dependable procedures while adapting to changing contexts. If they lose the balance between organization and innovation, most movements tend to become rigidly institutionalized or to break apart. Baptists have experienced both. For four centuries the American Baptist movement has borne its witness within the mosaic of Christianity.

  • HBU Academy – 1St Place Winner-Piece of the Past Essay Contest, 2020
    HBU Academy – 1st place winner-Piece of the Past Essay Contest, 2020 A Threefold Legacy: How Adoniram Judson’s Wives Contributed to the Ministry of the Man Who First Translated the Bible for the Burmese People by Rebecca Rizzotti In a glass case in the Dunham Bible Museum sits a book, open to public eye, filled seemingly with mere curves and squiggles. To an uninformed passerby, it may appear a simple curiosity, yet there is a story of incredible suffering, perseverance, and patience behind that book. It is a Burmese Bible. Adoniram Judson, as the first missionary sent out from the United States to a foreign country and the first person to translate the Bible into Burmese, is a well-known figure in the annals of missions. Yet in the many biographies, narratives, and articles centering on his life and work, the lives and work of his three wives—especially the latter two—are often overlooked. Each woman contributed immensely to a different aspect of his service that was essential to success as a missionary. Ann Hasseltine Judson demonstrated an incredible spirit of self-sacrifice during her marriage to Adoniram—first in agreeing to leave her family and homeland for a future of sickness and suffering, just days after their wedding in 1812—but most especially during her husband’s twenty-one months in brutal Burmese prisons in 1824-1825, his punishment for the false charge of espionage as he ministered in Rangoon. She “saved Judson’s life during the prison years… several times…Ann loved him fiercely, unreservedly, even to the point of giving her life for him.

The Christian community of Burma includes both Catholics and Protestants, and the Protestants are divided into many denominations. Baptist Christians are predominant among this group, and they provided most of the ethnographic information upon which this article is based. In the article I argue that twenty-first century Baptists in Burma fulfill both aspects of a “twofold legacy” bequeathed to them by Adoniram Judson, the first Baptist missionary to Burma, and that their fulfillment of this legacy is manifest in their musical practices. I further argue that it has been, and continues to be, to Burmese Baptists’ advantage to emphasize both aspects of this religious legacy, because at various times both aspects have highlighted their affiliation with more powerful groups inside Burma.

Adoniram Judson Adoniram Our Lord Jesus said to us in very solemn words, “Truly, tru- ly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit” (John 12:24). Then he adds this: “Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for How There Few Are Who Die So Hard eternal life” (John 12:25). In other words, a fruitful life and an eternal life come from this: dying like a seed and hating your life in this world. What overwhelms me, as I ponder this and trace the life of Adoniram Judson, America’s first foreign missionary, is how strategic it was that he “died” so many times and in so many ways.
