However, over the past twenty to thirty years, the makeup the missionary force has changed. This movement, commonly called the Emerging Mission Movement, has gained momentum in the past decade, and soon missionaries from the developed “Western World” will be the minority among the Asian, African and Latino missionaries.

  • Freedom Starts with a Fire” a Sermon Delivered by Rev
    “Freedom Starts with a Fire” A sermon delivered by Rev. Dr. Benjamin Boswell at Myers Park Baptist Church on August 30th, 2020, the Twenty-fifth Sunday of COVID-19 from Exodus 3:1-15 It all started with a fire. When was seventeen years old, my brother Andrew and I went to a Christian youth revival at Independence Arena, now called “Bojangles’ Coliseum.” The revival was called “Acquire the Fire” and it was sponsored by Teen Mania Ministries and their founder, evangelist Ron Luce. My brother and I went with the youth group from our church and we were energized by loud music from Christian rock bands like Audio Adrenaline and The Newsboys. We sang the Sonic Flood song “Light the fire, in my weary soul. Fan the flame, make my spirit whole.” When the altar call came my twelve- year-old brother Andrew was the first to respond, and I was so moved by his decision that I followed right behind him. Together on the floor of the Coliseum we made a profession of faith and we dedicated our lives to following Jesus, but neither of us with any idea where it would lead us. My faith has changed in tremendous ways since “Acquire the Fire”, but I’m not so cynical as to discount the fire of the Spirit that ignited me that day with a powerful sense of calling—a calling I did not understand at the time—a calling I have been trying to figure out, and discern, and live into ever since. It was a calling that led me into my first career as an infantry officer in the US Army because I wanted to help and protect people and serve the cause of freedom.
