In the fullness of time, Jesus was sent by God the Father on a mission with a message of salvation for the lost. Jesus has completed His saving work faithfully by dying on the cross as the perfect and sinless Lamb of God for the sins of the whole world. He was buried and then He rose again bodily from the dead on the third day according to the scriptures. Behind closed doors, the resurrected Christ appeared before the disciples. He said to them, “Peace be unto you: as My Father hath sent Me, even so send I you” (John 20:21). The disciples were filled with joy when they saw Him. They were gathering to pray and find strength in their fellowship. It was time now to be sent out to reach the lost with the message of hope and salvation. This commission must be issued by Christ, for power and authority comes from Him. Let us be reminded of the Great Commission. Every one of us must go, from the pastor to the last member of the church. So long as we are born again and redeemed by the blood of Christ, we have been sent by Him on a mission with His message of salvation for the lost. It is our mission to share Christ with those whom we come into contact with. Have we neglected the Great Commission due to our busyness? Have we forgotten that we have been sent on this important mission? Even if you are not called to full-time service, you are still called to evangelise. We are empowered with His Word and by His Spirit to be His living witnesses for Him at home, in school, at work and in the streets. Let us be pro-active to fulfill the Great Commission. In this issue, we have lined up several testimonies of those who have been called into full-time ministry and also of students who are studying in True Gospel Bible School in Cambodia. They also shared how the Lord has been wondrously working in their lives. There are also articles and missions reports for your encouragement and edification. Enjoy reading. Amen. In Christ’s love, Rev Dennis Kwok TMS Chairman 2 A WORD FROM OUR ADVISOR , R EV DR QUEK S UAN YEW: „H OW TO KNOW I AM CALLED TO SERVE GOD IN T HE FULL -TIME MINIST RY ?‰ Serving God in the full-time ministry is an honour and a privilege. At the same time, it is also most dangerous, in the spiritual sense. Therefore, it is incumbent upon the individual to know for a certainty that he is truly called by Christ to the full-time ministry or else he and his family will get hurt, the congregation he ministers to will be stumbled and above all else, he will bring shame to the name of Christ. Some of the elements of a person who is called would include the following:- a. A strong desire – The desire is unshakeable. Initially when the desire first comes into the person's heart, he thinks that it might just be a feeling or an impulse that will soon disappear with time. He tries to forget the feeling and brushes it off as a flash in the pan never to return. However, the feeling gets stronger and stronger. Very soon, the feeling dominates the heart of the person. What he liked before his "call" has now become "tasteless". He is consumed by this unshakeable feeling of giving up what he has planned before. He feels like a person at the crossroads of his life. A "voice" will not stop calling him to drop everything he is doing and take a totally different direction in life. He comes up with all sorts of excuses why he ought ey disobey Ob not to listen to the call. The LORD would use the Word of God to call His child. That verse will be the lifelong verse of God's servant till the day he is called home to glory. He will face many trials and difficulties in ministry and the Word of God that God used to call him will be his main stay. In a spectacular way, God would remove all his excuses and he is left with only one decision to 3 make . to obey or to disobey! Finally there is no peace in his soul by this stage of his struggle with the LORD. His food is tasteless. He walks around like a zombie and everything that gave him great joy is now meaningless to him. There is only one way to get back the peace of God and it is total submission to God's call. The moment he cries to the LORD in repentance for delaying and disobeying and he surrenders his life totally to the LORD for his use, peace fills his heart once more. It is like cool refreshing rain to a thirsty soul who had just returned from wandering aimlessly in the wilderness for months! b. A gift from God – After entering the Bible College to be trained for the full-time ministry, the LORD will slowly but surely reveal to him what his gift is. If he is blessed with the gift of preaching or teaching, he would know. Not only would he enjoy it, others would be blessed by it. The reason is that spiritual gifts of God are given Pastor will for the blessing of others. This means that have the gift others would understand the Word of God of preaching better after he has finished preaching or and teaching. They would attest that he has this teaching gift of preaching or teaching. All who are called to be pastors must have this gift of preaching or teaching. He is able to rightly divide the Word of Truth and he does so powerfully and without the fear of man. He remains humble and prayerful always as he knows that he is called and that without the LORD enabling him, he would fail miserably. He would not understand and speak a word without God's help. He knows that the LORD who gave him the gift could very well take the gift away. If the blessings come, he gives God all the glory. He recedes into the background and promotes only Christ. He would do whatever task is assigned to him without murmuring or complaining. He knows that it is a gift from God all the days of his life, which means he never stops leaning on Christ to see him through day by day. 4 c. The Word of God – His love for God's Word is second only to his love for Christ, if there can ever be a distinction. The Word of God thrills his soul in ways that cannot be explained. He digs deep into and meditates on the Word of God as if his life and the life of his congregation depend on it, which they do. He never stops studying the Word of God even as he teaches the Word of God. He would spend hours and hours every week studying the Word of God and he would do the same week after week for the rest of his life of ministry. He knows how important the Word of God is to his own soul and the souls under his care. Every time he learns new truths from the Word of God, there is a thrill in his heart comparable to a man who finds a treasure. Each time he learns new truths, he is filled with a deep sense of gratitude and thanksgiving to God. He knows that it is the LORD who has opened his eyes to see and his heart to understand. The more he studies the Word of God, the more he wants to study. He thinks about the Word of God as he walks and goes about his day to day activities. He ponders and meditates upon the Word of God and it is in his head all the time. If he is struggling with a Bible passage, he would study it until the whole passage is in his head and he carries it with him everywhere he goes. After he struggles for some time with the passage, the LORD would illumine his heart and mind and the passage becomes clear to him and the thrill he feels is indescribable. These are some of the indicators that a person is called into the full- time ministry to do the work of God as a preacher or a teacher.

  • The Origins and Progress Of
    [AJPS 14:1 (2011), pp. 108-146] THE ORIGINS AND ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS OF THE PENTECOSTAL MISSIONARY ENTERPRISE IN CHINA R. G. Tiedemann We have taken for granted an obscure history of Pentecostalism for so long that the multitudes of nameless people responsible for its grassroots expansion have passed into history unremembered and their memory is now very difficult to retrieve. Allan Anderson1 The Pentecostal movement owes its inspiration and formation to the emergence of radical evangelical currents during the second half of the nineteenth century. These new religious movements were significantly different in their eschatological expectations and missionary methods and began to severely challenge mainstream Protestantism in Europe and North America. Several innovative theological currents had a decisive influence on the formation of a host of new denominations and new missionary bodies. Holiness Wesleyans, higher life fundamentalists, the ascendancy of premillennialism, including its dispensationalist variant, restorationist currents, sabbatarian ideas, as well as diverse strands of German and Scandinavian Pietism all contributed to forge the new Evangelicalism as a protest against the growing ‘worldliness’ of the ‘mainline’ Protestant denominations in Western countries.2 1 Allan Anderson, An Introduction to Pentecostalism (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2004), p. 175. 2 See Melvin Easterday Dieter, The Holiness Revival of the Nineteenth Century, 2nd ed. (Lanham, Md.: Scarecrow Press, 1996). For a brief background discussion and the relevant literature, see Allan Anderson, Spreading Fires: The Missionary Nature of Early Pentecostalism (London: SCM Press, 2007), Tiedemann, Pentecostal Missionary Enterprise 109 The Holiness leaders, for example, rejected the optimistic postmillennial convictions of mainline Protestantism. Instead, they insisted that the world was about to come to an apocalyptic conclusion, ushering in the imminent Second Coming of Christ prior to the establishment of his millennial kingdom on earth.

  • Hudson Taylor and China Inland Mission
    Real Life Stories James Hudson Taylor James Hudson Taylor was born at Barnsley, Yorkshire, England, May 21, 1832, and died at Changsha, China, June 3, 1905. His father was a very capable Methodist preacher, and his mother had a sweet and patient spirit. Hudson Taylor was blessed in that he was the combination of the ability of his father and the gentle disposition of his mother. He was converted through the reading of a tract at the age of fifteen, and not long afterward passed through a remarkable experience, at which time he dedicated himself to God for whatever service might be appointed. Unknown to himself, his father, who had been deeply interested in China, had prayed that his son might go to that land as a missionary. Very early, through the reading of Walter Henry Medhurst's China (London 1838), the Lord, answering the prayers of his father, the Taiping Rebellion, and the workings of the Holy Spirit, the thoughts of Hudson were directed to that country. Hudson left for China on September 19, 1853, and from 1854 to 1860 his time was spent in Shanghai, Swatow, and Ningpo, working sometimes in company with older missionaries of other societies and especially with William Chalmers Bums of the English Presbyterian Mission. In time he became an independent worker, trusting God to supply his need. His experiences of God's faithfulness in meeting his own personal needs and the needs of a hospital at Ningpo, of which he had taken charge, had much to do with the founding of China Inland Mission.

  • China Inland Mission
    CIM HANDLIST OF THE PHOTOGRAPH COLLECTION OF THE CHINA INLAND MISSION The Library School of Oriental and African Studies August 1993 1 CIM/PHOTO CHINA INLAND MISSION PHOTOGRAPHS The photographs in this collection number over 7,000 and are from three different sources. The first is Frederick Howard Taylor, James Hudson Taylor's son, who collected particularly photographs associated with his father's early life in England, some of which he himself took in the early 1900's. The second source is the official records of the China Inland Mission/Overseas Missionary Fellowship. These include albums (CIM/PHOTO 2/298-305) and loose photographs (CIM/PHOTO 2/306-372), often produced for special occasions, and a series of photographs collected from missionaries working in the field and arranged under subject headings (CIM/PHOTO 2/1-197). These include medical work and scenes of everyday life in China, Taiwan, Thailand and Tibet. The medical work is mostly concentrated in photographs 248-295. The third source is the records kept by A.J. Broomhall, the mission's historian, to facilitate and illustrate his research into the work of Taylor. These photographs are very varied, dating back to the 1860's, and include original photographs of the 'Lammermuir' party and also some of the missionaries who preceded it to China. There are many duplicates in this section, which is divided into two, general photographs and those selected for use in A.J. Broomhall's work, Hudson Tay for and China's Open Century. Although this is the main CIM photograph collection in SOAS, there are further photographs in CIM/PP LIBERTY, CIM/PP WITHERS and CIM/PP FHT NOTES.

  • Reading Biographies Class Material
    Enriching your Faith through Reading Biographies ….A Four Week Exploration Missionaries Statesmen Pastors and Public Figures Preachers “Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith.” Hebrews 13:7 “Brothers, join in imitating me, and fix your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us.” Phillippians 3:17 Christian biography, well chosen, combines all sorts of things pastors need but have so little time to pursue. • Good biography is history and guards us against chronological snobbery (as C. S. Lewis calls it). • It is also theology—the most powerful kind—because it burst forth from the lives of people like us. • It is also adventure and suspense, for which we have a natural hunger. • It is psychology and personal experience, which deepen our understanding of human nature (especially ourselves). Good biographies of great Christians make for remarkably efficient reading.” John Piper on Why pastors should read biographies. http://www.desiringgod.org/articles/brothers-read-christian-biography “In spite of much that militates against quietness, there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going. I write especially for those who bring to their reading a mind not hidebound by the sensibilities of our own time, but prepared to contemplate the Eternally Relevant; to seek in this book specifically the truth and the hidden meaning of a single life.” Elizabeth Elliot, introduction to A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael “It is very noticeable how, when God is preparing a workman for a certain definite service, He often leads him out of the beaten path into a path peculiarly his own by means of some striking biography or by contact with some other living servant who is doing some such work and exhibiting the spirit which must guide if there is to be true success.” A.T.
