NEVILLE HARCOMBE Transformed by Grace t the age of 18, my father, Douglas Harcombe, gave his heart and life to Jesus Christ. A few months earlier, he and five of his friends had drunken - Aly stumbled into a Seventh-day Adventist tent crusade in Lady Smith, Natal, South Africa. He was the only one of the five who was baptized by evan - gelist A. Raubenheimer. After graduating in ministry from Helderberg College, an Adventist school, he returned to his hometown for a visit. As he knocked on doors and introduced himself as “Pastor Harcombe,” he was greeted by expressions of unbelief. Standing in front of them was a man trans - formed by the power of God’s transforming grace. This miraculous transformation provides a beautiful example of God’s unconditional love for you and me. It illustrates how, when He takes over our hearts, Christ revolutionizes our lives in such amazing fashion that we are never the same again. Indeed my father’s life was never the same; God used Him for many years. He began his work for the church as a publishing director. He was also blessed to serve as a director for several missions in South Africa; a conference president of four conferences in East Africa, Central Africa, and South Africa; and a union president of the South African Union Group ll. The Grace Equation “Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the son of the Father, in truth and love” (2 John 3). The scriptural idea of grace is love that stoops, pardons, and communicates. The very foundation of the word “grace” is a free, undeserved, unsolicited bestowment of God through His Son to each sinner. Grace envelopes His love for us. “God loves us because He cannot help it; He loves because He is God,” wrote the Scottish scholar and preacher Alexander MacLaren. That love and grace break in mercy. As grace is love that forgives, so mercy is love that pities and helps. God’s grace softens itself into mercy, and His mercy is the outcome of His grace. In our discipling process, we share with oth - ers the power of His grace through our own experience of transformation. In 2 Peter 3:18 we read “But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.” These are the last words of an old man written down as a legacy to us. He says that our daily growth can only be a reality by our close association with Douglas Harcombe (pictured with his wife Grace), Jesus. Others then can see the dramatic transfor - transformed by the power of God’s grace at age 18, mation as a witness in our own lives. passed that legacy onto his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. When we allow the Lord to flow to and from our very being and make heaven within our selves, we truly experience and know grace. To be heavenly, to know grace, we have to give up our reins to God. “Being vulnerable to grace can be our undoing. It makes us strangers in our own land,” wrote Leah Goodwin, a seminarian at Harvard Divinity School. “If only we let God make a home in us, if only we let Him radiate His light from the center of our souls, heaven will always prevail.” Thank God for His grace, freely given in mercy and love.

    JULY 2018 My Favorite Teacher THE MENTORING WHAT PARENTS ARE EXCEPTIONAL Don’t WAIT: GAP: INVESTING IN LOOKING FOR IN A CHILDREN WITH START PREPARING TODAy’S YOUTH CHRISTIAN SCHOOL SPECIAL NEEds: FOR COLLEGE NOW KNOWING THE WARNING SIGNS vantagepoint Education and Evangelism — Blessings in Disguise The story is told of a young man about to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his wealthy father could well afford it, he told him that the sports car was ALL he wanted. As graduation day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disap- pointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible with the young man's name embossed in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, "With all your money, you give me a Bible?" He stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible. Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old and very ill. The son thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed Leslie N.

  • Chronology of Seventh-Day Adventist Education: 1872-1972
    CII818L8tl or SIYIITI·Ill IIYIITIST IIUCITIGI CENTURY OF ADVENTIST EDUCATION 1872 - 1972 ·,; Compiled by Walton J. Brown, Ph.D. Department of Education, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists ·t. 6840 Eastern Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20012 i/ .I Foreword In anticipation of the education centennial in 1972 and the publication of a Seventh-day Adventist chronology of education, the General Conference Department of Education started to make inquiries of the world field for historical facts and statistics regarding the various facets of the church program in education. The information started to come in about a year ago. Whlle some of the responses were quite detalled, there were others that were rather general and indefinite. There were gaps and omissions and in several instances conflicting statements on certain events. In view of the limited time and the apparent cessation of incoming materials from the field, a small committee was named with Doctor Walton J. Brown as chairman. It was this committee's responsibility to execute the project in spite of the lack of substantiation of certain information. We believe that this is the first project of its kind in the denomination's history. It is hoped that when the various educators and administrators re­ view the data about their own organizations, they will notify the Department of Education concerning any corrections and additions. They should please include supporting evidence from as many sources as possible. It is hoped that within the next five to ten years a revised edition may replace this first one. It would contain not only necessary changes, but also would be brought up to date.
