UAJ ~. a-A-cLIsr5TCIS,7c~ General Theme: Personal Evangelism T*3pic. Bharing, Personal Testamony of your Faith in Chribt. Introductions "Ie are sometimes asked, "Why do yiu believe in Christ"?, What has he done for you"? Or "How did he save you? Again we re told in the Scripture to "...Be ready always to live an swer to every man that ask us a reason of the hope that is us with meekness and fear." (pet. 3:15b) We have read and heard tremendous testamonies of people* whose lives were transformed as the result of their X encounter with Christ Jesus. One of those was a man who was born blind, but when he confronted Christ about his ni .- situation, he was made whole. The Pharicees and others wanted to know who had healed this man and by what means he had been made to see? Their #K concept about Jesus is that he was a sinner but the only explicit testamony this man had about himss&lf was, ".... Whether he be a sinner or not, I know rot: One thing I know, tha t whereas I was blind, now 1 see" (John8:25) We don't need to know everything about Personal Evange- lism before we can win a soul to Christ, but our own personal testamony about what Christ has done in our lives and what he continues to do can influence the lives of others and bring them to the Saving knowledge of Christ. As we examine Paul's testamony of his convention exper- ience in Acts Chapter eight, it is no wonder that his life is divided into four stages: 1. What was Paul's life before he got to know the Lord Jesus (yes 1-6)? 2. How he knew God was speaking to him *vss 7-10)? 3. How Paul re ally got sav'ed(vss 13-16)? 4. What Christ was presently doing in his life per- sonally (vss 17-21)? Paul's Comversion experience was very sudden and dra- matic. His situation experience may not be as power- ful as ours but we can know with certainty how the Lord speaks to us at one time in our lives and how he changed us. We can follow these 4 stages and write out our personal testamonies experience: 1. Your life before you knew Christ... 2 0Iow you knew God was speaking to you.

  • A Brief Summary of Liberian Indigenous Scripts
    A Brief Summary of Liberian Indigenous Scripts “The normal way for a society to acquire its own script is by evolving, adapting, or adopting an existing writing system. Once in a while, though, some visionary, aware simply of the existence of writing among nearby peoples (often missionaries), sets out to devise his own system that will set his people apart from all others.” So says Peter Daniels in his book The World's Writing Systems (Daniels 1996, 579). No place in the world has been home to more such visionaries than Liberia. In addition to the well- known Vai script and to me the more familiar Bassa script, the Kpelle and the Loma also had their own scripts. The Mende, mostly located in Sierra Leone, have yet another, and the Gola yet one more (Dalby 1970, 6) (though little is known about this script, and I do not include it in this summary). This means that for the relatively small country of Liberia, there are no fewer than six original scripts. No other country in Africa can boast the same. Perhaps no place in the world has a similar phenomenon. Scripts typically have been borrowed. The Greek alphabet developed from Phoenician (Swiggers 1996), as did the so-called Roman script and other early Italian alphabets. Versions of the Roman script changed considerably, both through gradual evolution as well as for specific purposes of accommodating the sounds of each language. The Roman script continued to develop through the centuries and is now used throughout the world for languages of all types (Tuttle 1996).

  • Language Group Specific Informational Report: Bassa
    Rhode Island College M.Ed. In TESL Program Language Group Specific Informational Reports Produced by Graduate Students in the M.Ed. In TESL Program In the Feinstein School of Education and Human Development Language Group: Bassa Author: Sara Shaffer Program Contact Person: Nancy Cloud ([email protected]) Language Group Specific Informational Report: Bassa Sarah Shaffer TESL 539 Spring 2011 Language History Bassa is an Anglophone language belonging to the Niger-Congo family that has existed since around 500B.C. (Swan, 2001). It is spoken in Liberia by over 350,000 and Sierra Leone by about 7,000 people. Bassa is the second largest indigenous language spoken in Liberia. There are three regional dialects of this language. If not careful, one can confuse Bassa with other languages found in other parts of Africa, such as Basa (Nigeria) and Basaa (Cameroon) (Horace, 2010). (no author, www.worldatlas.com, 2011) Bassa- Vah Script The Bassa Vah script was originally created by a Bassa man, Dee Wahdayn. Legend says that he would write words on leaves with his teeth, instead of his hand. The words were thrown from his mouth to the leaf, hence the word “Vah”, which means “to throw a word” (Early, 2011). The script was brought to the Western world in an attempt to revive the language around 1920 by Dr. Thomas Narvan Lewis, a Bassa physician (Horace, 2010). Currently, Bassa is considered to be a dying language due to the fact that most people can speak it, but the only ones who can write in it are elder men. The Bassa language is a tonal language, meaning words with the same pronunciation but spoken in different pitches are considered to be different words altogether.

  • Albert & Carolyn Strydhorst June 2019 Update
    PARTNERING IN MISSION TIMOTHY LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAM CALVIN THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY RESONATE GLOBAL MISSION Albert and Carolyn Strydhorst 1941 Keyhill Ave SE, Grand Rapids, MI; 49546 June 2019 [email protected] Dear Friends, Every once in a while, Timothy Leadership Training takes place exactly like it’s supposed to! Here’s what happened in Liberia: In February 2016, I visited with the leadership of a ministry called Peace on Earth International Evangelistic Association of Liberia (POEIEAL). We met on the campus of Monrovia Bible College (MBC), where many Liberian pastors are trained. The leaders of POEIEAL and MBC said, “We need TLT training for our pastors and students.” By December 2016, we signed a Partnership Agreement to hold 6 training events in the next two and a half years at Monrovia Bible College. We arranged with Resonate Global Mission (formerly Christian Reformed World Missions) in the neighboring country of Sierra Leone to provide an experienced TLT teacher for these 6 events. They agreed to send Rev. Istifanus Bahago, a Nigerian missionary living in Sierra Leone – and my good friend and colleague from our years in West Africa. By the end of 2017, twenty-three church leaders had completed 3 TLT trainings in Monrovia. Many were now using TLT material in their general church roles of teaching and preaching, while one of them, Rev. Solomon O. Davis, initiated 2 new training groups in Monrovia and Buchanan. In the summers of 2017 and 2018, two Calvin Seminary students (Richard Britton III and Joshua H.) did their ministry internships in Liberia and Sierra Leone, teaching TLT and being mentored by Pastor Bahago.

With rapid population increase, Cameroon agriculture faces the challenge of producing enough food to meet increasing demand. Cassava is a crop with potential to achieve this demand but has generally unstable yields due to biotic and abiotic constraints. To aid understanding of cassava performance and adoption, this thesis is organized into ten chapters focusing on evaluation, criteria for variety preference with associated technologies to enhance production. Compilation and presentation of results from this study was with support of the Japanese Government through Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Ronpaku Fellowship Program. In recognition of dedicated support to my studies, this thesis is dedicated to my sister Mrs. Henriette NGONGA. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to extend my profound gratitude and sincere appreciation to the Japanese Government through the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Ronpaku Fellowship Program for granting me this scholarship and the opportunity to compile and present results of this study.

    LANGUAGE AND IDENTITY IN ORU REFUGEE CAMP, OGUN STATE, NIGERIA BY NWAGBO, OSITA GERALD B.A. (LAGOS); M.A. (IBADAN) MATRIC, NO. 108722 A THESIS IN THE DEPARTMENT OF LINGUISTICS AND AFRICAN LANGUAGES SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF ARTS IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN, IBADAN, NIGERIA i ABSTRACT Refugees, in Oru camp, who chose integration instead of repatriation, are confronted with socio- cultural challenges which constrain them to adopt the language of their host community. Most of the previous studies on refugees investigated their socio-political and cultural concerns, with inadequate attention to their sociolinguistic challenges. Consequently, this research investigated the manifestation of identities in language use, attitudes, stereotypes and codeswitching/borrowing among Liberian and Sierra Leonean refugees in Oru Camp, Ogun State. This is with a view to evaluating the identity preferred by the refugees. This study adopted the ethnolinguistic identity theory and the mentalist theory of language attitudes. A questionnaire was administered to 240 respondents, comprising 15 teenagers (13- 19yrs), 15 young adults (20-39yrs) and 10 full adults (40-60yrs), purposively drawn from each of the six ethnic groups investigated: Krahn, Bassa, Kpelle (Liberia); Mende, Temne, Limba (Sierra Leone). Thirty-six respondents comprising two teenagers, two young adults and six full adults, drawn from each ethnic group were subjected to unstructured interviews. Through participant observation, the respondents‟ spontaneous interactions were recorded on audio-tape and field notes. Qualitative data were subjected to ethnolinguistic analysis; quantitative data were analysed using percentages and Chi-square. Borrowings were social (terms for prostitutes, hard drugs and police) and cultural (terms for foods, trado-medicine and monarchy) as the observed respondents borrowed lexemes from Yoruba and their indigenous languages.
