  • Iv in Memoriam Bruce Campbell Moyer
    et al.: Im Memoriam: Bruce Campbell Moyer In Memoriam Bruce Campbell Moyer Published by Digital Commons @ Andrews University, 2019 1 iv Journal of Adventist Mission Studies, Vol. 15 [2019], No. 1, Art. 1 Early on Sabbath morning, May 11, 2019, Bruce Campbell Moyer passed away to “his last great adventure.” In his final days he wrote: “No tears please. My life has been a great adventure with Jesus. I have few regrets, and only a couple of bucket list items, undone. I have loved my wife, fam- ily and ‘work.’ God has treated me far better than I have deserved and none of you owe me anything. I have now gone, like Reepicheep, in Voyage of the Dawn Treader, to my ‘last great adventure,’ when with more ques- tions than certainties I am face to face with Jesus and all his saints.” In his retirement, Bruce was heavily involved with Gospel Outreach, a supportive ministry of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. This work involved outreach to Muslims on three continents. He also served for many years as a doctoral adviser to numerous PhD candidates at Andrews University. Prior to his retirement from Andrews University as a professor, he was involved in the training of cross-cultural workers and the development of cross-cultural training curriculum. He also developed and directed Global Partnerships, a tent-making program, recruiting and training people for mission in “creative access” countries. In his early years, Bruce pastored in the Pacific Northwest, taught at both Auburn and Columbia Adventist Academies, lectured in pastoral theology at Solusi University in Zimbabwe, and was Associate Profes- sor of Theology at Columbia Union College, now Washington Adventist University, near Washington, DC.

    Image not found or type unknown Sahmyook University KUK HEON LEE Kuk Heon Lee graduated from Sahmyook University (B.A.), Newbold College (M.A.), and Sahmyook University (Ph.D.). From 1990 to 2009, he served as a pastor at Korean Union Conference. In 2010, he joined Sahmyook University as a lecturer and professor at the Theology Department. His research and teaching interests are in Church History. He wrote several books and published several papers on the subject. Currently, he is also the Dean of Planning at Sahmyook University. Sahmyook University is a university that is operated in Korea according to the educational ideals of the Adventist Church. The university is located at 815 Hwarang-ro (200 acres), in Nowon-gu, Seoul, and is operated with 5,600 students, 204 professors, and 246 employees as of the end of 2019. Developments That Led to the Establishment of the School It was in 1904 that the Seventh-day Adventist Church was established in Korea. Heung-jo Shon and Eung-hyun Lee were baptized at Kobe Adventist Church in Japan and became the first Korean Adventists. Among them, Son Heung- jo set up the Adventist church in South Korea in cooperation with Gi-ban Lim. William Smith visited Korea in 1905 as a first missionary. After establishing his headquarters in Soonan, South Pyongan Province, in 1906, he planned to establish a school to train ministerial workers. Smith, along with Mimi Scharffenberg, who visited Korea as a first female missionary, founded the School of Education in Soonan in 1907.1 Founding of the School In 1907 William Smith received free educational sites from the governor of South Pyongan Province and promoted the establishment of the school in earnest.

(Andrews University, Berrien Springs, Michigan, the United States). Hook retired in 1997 as a minister in the Greater Sydney Conference, Australia. An Australian by birth Hook has served the Church as a teacher at the elementary, academy and college levels, a missionary in Papua New Guinea, and as a local church pastor. In retirement he is a conjoint senior lecturer at Avondale College of Higher Education. He has authoredFlames Over Battle Creek, Avondale: Experiment on the Dora, Desmond Ford: Reformist Theologian, Gospel Revivalist, the Seventh-day Adventist Heritage Series, and many magazine articles. He is married to Noeleen and has two sons and three grandchildren. Avondale University College is the senior tertiary educational institution for the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the South Pacific region, located in Cooranbong, New South Wales, Australia. Formerly Avondale College of Higher Education, it was granted Avondale Australian University College status in August 2019. Early Stages When the Australasian Bible School was opened in suburban Melbourne in 1892, it was considered to be a temporary establishment.1 It did not meet the denomination’s self-imposed criteria. Their model school required a rural and agricultural setting, not entirely monastic but certainly isolationist in order to nullify any distractions to the nurturing of a religious life. For two years, 1893 and 1894, a search for an ideal haven was undertaken, chiefly along the proximity to the rail link between Melbourne and Sydney.
