They could be huge questions such as, “Should I go to this college?” or, “Should I take this job?” They may be more minor ones, such as, “May I see this movie?” or, “May I attend this party?” The New Testament contains a number of principles that can be applied to a wide range of choices that we confront. Proper application of these principles demonstrates maturity in discipleship. 1. I will make the same choices in life that Christ would. 11. I will avoid activities that feed my fleshly appetites. 1 JOHN 2:6 “Walk in the same manner as He walked.” ROMANS 13:14 “Make no provision for the flesh in regard 2.

  • Jim Elliott Kyla Usher 12 Grade Jim Elliot Was a Zealous Christian
    Jim Elliott Kyla Usher 12th grade Jim Elliot was a zealous Christian missionary who evangelized to the people of Ecuador. Jim grew up in Portland, Oregon, and trusted in Christ as his Savior when he was just a little boy. After graduating high school, Jim Elliot went to Wheaton College, and his burden for the inhabitants of Central America grew stronger. However, after graduating college, Jim wasn’t clear of God’s will for his life, so in 1950 he moved to Oklahoma to study unwritten languages at the Summer Institute of Linguistics, and it was there that he felt God was leading him to minister to the people of Ecuador. Jim Elliot’s Accomplishments Jim Elliot’s life and testimony affected the Christian church in many positive ways. He evangelized the Auca Indians and led many of them to Christ. Despite the danger Jim faced, he continued in his journey to witness to the Ecuadorian people because he knew that was God’s will for his life. Because of this, Jim Elliot inspired several people to go into the mission field, and his story is still affecting the lives of missionaries today. While on his journey, Jim Elliot wrote journals and letters, many of which were published. These journals tell of his life while in Ecuador and the different experiences he encountered. These writings still help people to have a firm foundation in Christ and to grow in Him. Jim’s faith encourages Christians to face their fears with courage and the belief that God knows what’s best for us.

  • Through Gates of Splendor Book Discussion Guide
    Through Gates of Splendor Book Discussion Guide Chapter I: “I Dare Not Stay Home” Describe Jim Elliot. What was he like? What were some of the life experiences that shaped Jim into the man he was? How did Jim know that God wanted him to spend his life as a missionary in Ecuador? What kind of man was Pete Fleming? Pete Fleming wrote, “A call is nothing more nor less than obedience to the will of God, as God presses it home to the soul by whatever means He chooses” (page 22). Can you think of any times when you were absolutely sure of the will of God? What are some ways we can make ourselves more open to hearing God’s voice? Chapter II: Destination: Shandia Before you began to read this book, what did you know about the life and culture of Ecuador? Which elements of Ecuadorian culture do you think were most appealing to the missionaries? Which posed challenges? Based on the brief historical sketch of Ecuador given in this chapter, what might have been some of the Ecuadorians’ assumptions about foreigners, and vice versa? Chapter III: “All Things to All Men” The portrait of Venancio (pages 41-42) describes the daily life of a typical Quichua native. How does this compare with daily life where you live? In what ways does the Quichua birthing experience (pages 43-45) differ from a typical Western birth? What do you think this story signifies about Quichua attitudes toward children and family life? Toward medicine? Why is it so important—beyond basic communication—for missionaries to become as fluent as possible in the native language of those they are trying to reach? Chapter IV: Infinite Adaptability Describe Ed McCully.

The other members of my committee, Dr. Ida Altman, Dr. Carmen Diana Deere, Dr. Philip Williams, and Dr. Mitchell Hart, all provided valuable support and were influential in helping to shape the scope of my research and scholarly interests. Dr. Steve Noll was an important source of support and advice throughout graduate school, as was Dr. Jeffrey Needell. Dr. Teodoro Bustamante, Dr. Robert Wasserstrom, and Maria Eugenia Tamariz were valuable colleagues in research while I was in Ecuador, and their suggestions helped make my research period productive. The Fulbright Commission of Ecuador and Susana Cabeza de Vaca supported me logistically during my research period. The Center for Latin American Studies at the University of Florida also provided research funding critical to shaping my dissertation prospectus. My fellow students in Latin American History, particularly Roberto Chauca, Rob Taber, Erin Zavitz, Chris Woolley and Andrea Ferreira were excellent friends and colleagues. Dr. Jessica Clawson provided valuable feedback and encouragement. My parents, Harold and Billie Fischer, were unflinchingly supportive and patient during this long odyssey.

    Devotion for May 21st Read: Proverbs 11 ​ Memorize: Proverbs 11:30 ​ Prayer: Pray for our in-person services resuming this Sunday. Pray for creative summer ministry opportunities. Pray for church members with health concerns. Pray for our missionaries. This week's devotions will be short biographical sketches of Christian heroes. The written words will come from multiple sources. Today’s sketch is written by Tmara D. Fickas. Devotion - Jim Elliot Jim Elliot was born in 1927 in Portland, Oregon. His mother, Clara, was a chiropractor and his father, Fred, was a minister. Jim knew Christ from an early age and was never afraid to speak about Him to his friends. At age six Jim told his mother, “Now, mama, the Lord Jesus can come whenever He wants. He could take our whole family because I’m saved now, and Jane is too young to know Him yet.” Jim entered Benson Polytechnic High School in 1941. He carried a small Bible with him and, an excellent speaker; he was often found speaking out for Christ. He and his friends were not afraid to step out and find adventure. One thing Jim didn’t have time for in those early years were girls. He was once quoted as telling a friend, “Domesticated males aren’t much use for adventure.” In 1945 Jim traveled to Wheaton, IL to attend Wheaton College. His main goal while there was to devote himself to God. He recognized the importance of discipline in pursuing this goal. He would start each morning with prayer and Bible study. In his journal he wrote, “None of it gets to be ‘old stuff’ for it is Christ in print, the Living Word.

  • Dissertation Examines the Complicated Relationship Between Radicalized Evangelical Missionaries in Central America and Their Sending Communities in the United
    © COPYRIGHT by Rodney A. Coeller 2012 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ! To Nathalie, for all her support BEYOND THE BORDERS: RADICALIZED EVANGELICAL MISSIONARIES IN CENTRAL AMERICA FROM THE 1950S THROUGH THE 1980S BY Rodney A. Coeller ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the complicated relationship between radicalized evangelical missionaries in Central America and their sending communities in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s. This was a volatile period in Central America, with the success of socialist revolutionaries in Nicaragua, severe repression in Guatemala and El Salvador, and the increasingly powerful presence of liberation theology in religious institutions and the communities they served. These potent forces deeply affected some evangelical missionaries and they grew more sympathetic to leftist movements in Central America. Missionaries sent out as representatives of these evangelical groups, with the goal of converting others into the fold, were thus converted theologically or politically themselves and no longer “fit” within their home communities. It was also a period of rapid change for American evangelicals. During the 1970s and 1980s, evangelicals grew more deeply committed to U.S. foreign policy, supporting Ronald Reagan’s rise to the presidency, his vehement anti-communism, and his foreign policy goals throughout Latin America and the rest of the world. American missionaries in Central America were caught between these changing realities. When missionaries adapted their political and theological perspectives to adapt to transformative experiences ! ii in Central America, sending groups became uncomfortable sponsoring these radicalized missionaries who seemed to have forgotten what they were sent to Central America to do. This dissertation analyzes the ensuing conflicts between evangelical sending groups and these radicalized missionaries, which reveal several important things about the nature of missionary life as well as the nature of the evangelical community.
