EAN ME Template 1 2 My dear friends, This is the month of holidays, joy, travel, fellowship, expenditure, new experiences and above all, the birthday of the Church. About 2000 years ago, the promised Spirit of God was poured upon the people of God. This is the day, which has to be observed as the great festival of the Church like Christmas, New Year and Easter. This great day of the church falls on 24 May 2015. Therefore, I would like to share with you a blessing that we receive from the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God is the saving strength of God: During the time of the Old Testament, in many instances, the Spirit of God was sent to some individuals to protect the people of God. When the Midianites came against the Israelites to destroy and overcome them, the saving strength was sent on Gideon, to save them from the hands of the Midianites. Judges 6:33 says: Then all the Midianites, the Amalechites, and the people of the East came together and crossing the Jordan, they encamped in the Valley of Jezreel. However, the Spirit of God took possession over Gideon. Gideon brought a great liberation to Israelites from the hands of the Midianites. In Judges 8:28 we see … “and the land had rest for forty years in the days of Gideon”. In the same way in another situation, God wanted to protect the Israelites from Ammonites and the saving strength came upon Jephthah. We see this in Judges 11:29, the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jephthah and in verse 33 we see the Ammonites were subdued before the people of Israel. When Philistines rose against the Israelites, the same saving strength of God was bestowed upon Samson. We see this incident in Judges chapters 14 to 16. My dear friends, in those days the Midianites, Ammonites and Philistines were the opposing power to God’s people. Today, different kinds of destructive distractions come before us to hide God’s presence from us. The opposition comes within us in different forms and leads us to sin, to disobey, to live a life without witness, full of transgressions and the wicked life overcomes us. In the Bible, a fearful situation arose to destroy the friends Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. However, the saving strength, which indwelled in them protected and saved them. In the life of Joseph, much opposition, obstacles came but with the saving strength of God, he never deviated from a holy life. He was able to say `how can I sin against my loving God?’ 3 The saving strength of God surrounds us, living within us, thus making always available the power and protection of God. The Holy Spirit is the One Who protects and liberates us from the dangers of this world, flesh and Satan. So the Holy Spirit is the saving strength of God. The promised Power from above came upon the people on the Day of Pentecost after the resurrection of our Lord Jesus. The Bible clearly says: But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. Therefore, my dear friends, we need to acknowledge God the Spirit, One Person in the Trinity, in us. Many times we understand God the Father and God the Son, but are not aware of the Spirit of God who indwells in us and sustains us. This Spirit of God has to be fanned in to flame, to realize the power in our lives. Let this festival of Pentecost bring in us a new understanding about the Holy Spirit. Let the fruit of the Spirit and the gift of the Spirit, be known to everyone around us and make us a blessing to many. May God bless you all. Your servant of God, Rev D Richard Ambrose Jebakumar Presbyter-in-charge 4 BE STILL… Last November, I tore a ligament in my left ankle after a fall down the office steps, and was advised complete bed rest for 3 whole weeks. From being on a spin all day to staying grounded with very little to do, and in intense pain, the situation opened up a whole new world to me. This forced rest made me realize how much I had taken for granted all the time I had spent on my feet! On another level, it also made me realize what people who can barely move out of their beds must be going through. It taught me to pray for others in pain and to trust in God at all times. In Psalm 77, we find that situations like these can give us an opportunity to remember and recount the mighty works that God has done for us in the past. Rest and reflect We are in such a hurry most of the time that God sometimes reminds us to lie down and rest. In Psalm 23, we learn that our Good Shepherd makes us “lie down in green pastures” and leads us “beside the still waters.” He knows that we need the calm and rest that these provide, even when we don’t realize it ourselves. Rest is essential for us and we read in the Bible that God Himself rested on the seventh day after creation (Gen. 2:2-3; Ex. 20:9-11). Jesus knew there was a time to minister to the crowds and a time to rest. He instructed His disciples to “come aside . and rest a while” (Mark 6:31). Rest helps us refocus and refresh. And so, when we are filling every hour with activity—even with worthwhile things—God often gets our attention by making us “lie down.” “Rest is a gift—a good gift from our Creator who knows exactly what we need. Praise Him that He sometimes makes us “lie down in green pastures.”” says Cindy Hess Kasper in ‘Our Daily Bread’. Enjoy His presence God speaks to us in many ways and it need not necessarily be in lengthy sermons. In John 10:27 Jesus said, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me”. Sheep don’t understand words, but they know the sound that signals the shepherd’s presence. Similarly, when we spend time in God’s presence, distracting noises can compete for our attention (Zech. 10:2). Yet God has ways of signalling us, even without words. Through events that can be alarming or 5 encouraging, He reminds us of His guiding, protecting, and reassuring presence. When we reflect and meditate on who God is, and the mighty deeds that He has done for us, we can be assured of His greatness, goodness, and guidance (Psalm 77:11-20). For where God leads, He also protects and provides. Fabiola Jacob When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Matthew 8:1–3 Beyond all expectations When the Lord blesses you, He blesses you beyond what you expect. In the healing of the leper, Jesus reached out and touched the leper, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately, the man was healed. Did you notice that Jesus touched the leper first before He healed him? I love these little gestures of Jesus! That simple touch restored a sense of humanity and dignity to the man who had not been touched for a long time. Because of his unclean and physically repulsive condition, no one wanted to be close to him, much less touch him. Jesus knew that the leper needed more than just physical healing, so He gave above and beyond what the leper had hoped for. Beloved, that’s the love and over-supplying grace of your Savior! What is your lack today? As you meditate on the largeness of His grace toward you, know beyond any doubt that Jesus’ provision will exceed all your expectations! 6 Gracing our cover this month, is the charming St. Stephen’s Church, Ooty, photographed by Caroline Roopsingh. Perched above the Ooty town centre, on the road to Mysore, St Stephen’s Church is the oldest church in the Nilgiris. It has lovely stained glass windows, huge wooden beams that were hauled by elephants from the palace of Tipu Sultan some 120km away, and memorial slabs and plaques donated by colonial-era churchgoers. The quiet, overgrown churchyard has many headstones commemorating the people who lived here. The foundation stone of St. Stephen’s Church was laid on April 23, 1829 by Stephen Rumbold Lushington, the then Governor of Madras, on the birthday of King George IV. John James Underwood, Captain, Madras Regiment was the architect in charge, and the construction cost was about Rs 24,000 at that time. The church was consecrated on November 5, 1830, and opened to the public communion on Easter Sunday April 3, 1831. This early consecration was due to the fact that there was no bishopric of Madras (Chennai) at that time. As Lord Bishop of Calcutta was visiting Ooty during the final stages of construction, it was decided to take advantage of the visit. Lord Bishop consecrated the new church, the first in the Nilgiri mountains, and recommended his own chaplain from Calcutta as the first Chaplain appointment. St. Stephen’s Church is all the more attractive for its artistic pieces like the painting depicting the Last Supper on the wall on the western side above the paneled doors, and the stained glass windows depicting, among other scenes, the crucifixion of Christ and Mary holding baby Jesus in her arms.

  • The Autobiography of Feoktist Dunaenko Was Written by the Author
    From the Ukraine to the Caucasus to the Canadian Prairies: Life as Wandering in the Spiritual Autobiography of Feoktist Dunaenko SERGEY PETROV University of Calgary When asked about European religious immigration to Canada, most Canadians would immediately refer to the Mennonites. People from western Canada or those with some interest in history or religion are likely to name Hutterites and Doukhobors. Indeed, those three groups are outstanding examples of religiously motivated mass immigration. All three survive up to this day and have been objects of scholarly and, at times, public interest. However, there is another quite distinct group of religiously motivated settlers, which is rarely recognized because it followed fairly mainstream Protestant religious practices and has largely assimilated into larger Canadian society. Calling themselves “evangelical Christians,” this group began immigrating to Canada in the first decade of the twentieth century from western parts of the Russian empire, and, after Poland had regained its independence (1918), from eastern Poland. Almost all of them were of Slavic origin – Ukrainians, Russians, Byelorussians and Poles. The Ukrainians were predominant in numbers. In his Hidden Worlds Royden Loewen points to the multidimen- sionality of the immigrant perception of the world around them. In writing about Mennonite immigrants from Russia, Loewen notes: “This world, shared with other immigrants, was part farm, part German, part continental European, and part capitalist. Ironically, these shared worlds have sometimes been the most hidden, despite the concern of ethnic historio- Historical Papers 2008: Canadian Society of Church History 68 The Spiritual Autobiography of Feoktist Dunaenko graphies to highlight the unique features of any given community.” 1 The life experience of Feoktist Dunaenko, a Slavic evangelical immigrant pioneer in the Prairies, was a tangible example of a multidimensional world.

Porous Empire: Foreign Visitors And The Post-Stalin Soviet State Abstract “Porous Empire” is a study of the relationship between Soviet institutions, Soviet society and the millions of foreigners who visited the USSR between the mid-1950s and the mid-1980s. “Porous Empire” traces how Soviet economic, propaganda, and state security institutions, all shaped during the isolationist Stalin period, struggled to accommodate their practices to millions of visitors with material expectations and assumed legal rights radically unlike those of Soviet citizens. While much recent Soviet historiography focuses on the ways in which the post-Stalin opening to the outside world led to the erosion of official Soviet ideology, I argue that ideological attitudes inherited from the Stalin era structured institutional responses to a growing foreign presence in Soviet life. Therefore, while Soviet institutions had to accommodate their economic practices to the growing numbers of tourists and other visitors inside the Soviet borders and were forced to concede the existence of contact zones between foreigners and Soviet citizens that loosened some of the absolute sovereignty claims of the Soviet party-statem, they remained loyal to visions of Soviet economic independence, committed to fighting the cultural Cold War, and profoundly suspicious of the outside world.

  • In the 1950S, Doctors Told Dutch Evangelist Andrew Van Der Bijl That He Was
    In the 1950s, doctors told Dutch evangelist Andrew van der Bijl that he was "too weak to travel" because he suffered from chronic back pain. But, this veteran preacher, known as “Brother Andrew” by his supporters worldwide, would do nothing but travel since his outreach to the persecuted church began in 1955. He’d go on to visit 125 countries and log an estimated 1 million miles. He'd go through at least a dozen passports but miraculously never lose a suitcase. He’d survive one plane accident, but said the impact of that crash in the early 1970s actually healed his back. His amazing journey started with a drive from his home in Alkmaar, Holland, to Warsaw, Poland, where he first witnessed the suffering of churches behind the Iron Curtain. Then came Czechoslovakia. Then he drove his blue Volkswagen--which came to be known as his "miracle car"-- to Yugoslavia. Next came East Germany, Bulgaria and Romania. Then came trips to Russia and China. Brother Andrew's travels never stopped, but they became more dangerous. In the 1950s and 1960s he successfully transported thousands of Bibles Page 1 of 11 into communist countries, and a 1967 book about his adventures, God's Smuggler, gave his ministry the worldwide support he needed to expand. After the biography increased his visibility and made it difficult for him to travel in the communist bloc, he began focusing more of his attention on the Middle East. The organization he founded, Open Doors With Brother Andrew, has 27 offices around the world, 350 full-time employees and an army of volunteers.

  • Brother Andrew, Holland, Missionary to Yugoslavia
    Brother Andrew, Holland, Missionary to Yugoslavia March 13. Andrew van der Bijl: Brother Andrew. Some people call him “God’s Smuggler,” but Andrew prefers the simple appellation “brother,” a term that applies to all who believe. He thinks of himself as an ordinary person who has done extraordinary things simply because he follows Jesus. Brother Andrew’s early ministry was to take Bibles and other evangelical literature to communist countries. In the 1950s, he founded Open Doors—an international, non-denominational organization of Christians committed to support persecuted believers around the world. With the fall of Soviet communism in 1991, Brother Andrew shifted his attention to the Muslim world, building bridges and friendships with Muslims, so he could share the good news about Jesus with them. Brother Andrew has written 21 books, the first of which, God’s Smuggler (published in 1964), describes his early efforts at “unofficial delivery” of Bibles, books, and tracts to Soviet bloc countries. On this date in 1955, Brother Andrew made his first trip behind the Iron Curtain, a trip that set the scene for many more trips, including the one in today’s story. Given to God, even fear can lead to victory. The light streamed through the windshield of Andrew van der Bijl’s blue Volkswagen, as he drove towards the shade of the Iron Curtain. He had taken a mission upon himself to bring Bibles and tracts to Christians in Yugoslavia. Problem was—his cargo was illegal. Two years earlier, in 1955, Andrew had first gone behind the Iron Curtain. In Poland and Czechoslovakia, he had seen Christians pressured to teach only what their governments allowed.

Ø Fastest runner in the village Ø Steals a gun – gains entrance Andrew continued with his Resistance activities, taking messages from one Resistance cell to another or escorting Jews to safe houses for the night. The stakes for involvement in such activities, however, grew increasingly high for Andrew and his coworkers. When, by 1942, the Nazis had dropped any pretense that they were in Holland to protect and liberate the Dutch, the ugly truth was there for everyone to see: the Nazis intended to take over all of Europe, and eventually the world, and their need for Dutch supplies and manpower had increased. Soon the German lieutenant and his men who occupied the village were replaced by a much more odious group of German soldiers, known as the razzia. The razzia did not station themselves in the village but rather made raids on it. At any time of the day or night, Nazi trucks would roar into Sint Pancras, sealing off the route in and out of the place. Squads of machine- gun-toting soldiers would then jump out of the trucks and search every house. If radios or other banned items were found, the homeowner was marched off and handcuffed inside one of the trucks.

  • TWR275 Lworld 0418
    April/May 2018 Listening World Inside this issue Power in Persecution A New Era for Latin America New in your Listening Guide Prayer Matters www.twr.org.uk From the Chief Executive Officer, Dr Russell Farnworth. TWR’s International President, Lauren Libby, was recently asked “Is radio still relevant in today’s world?” As you might expect, he responded, “Yes, it is! In fact, it is more relevant than ever!” 90% of adults listen to the radio each week in the UK! And, around the world, radio continues to be an effective and impactful tool for mission. Lauren went on to make some interesting points which I thought I would share with you: Radio is inexpensive and accessible. Radio is a free source of encouragement and content. The internet can be disconnected in a country; however, radio waves can reach people beyond political or digital borders. Radio influences listeners! The audio nature of the medium helps explain its power to influence the listener. Radio can set a cultural agenda in which people are encouraged with spiritual programming. Radio reaches people in their own heart languages. Trust is engendered as people listen in their own languages, thereby increasing the impact of programming. And you don’t need to be able to read, thus bypassing literacy levels. It is a very versatile communication tool for proclaiming the good news of Jesus. Radio is well-situated to communicate spiritual truth on both a personal level and a community level. In many countries where TWR ministers, home churches have been formed based on radio programming.

Un relato documentado e histórico de los diversos métodos de tortura que la Iglesia Católica utilizó contra los cristianos llamados heréticos, el único delito fue volver a los orígenes de la Biblia, dejando de lado las tradiciones y doctrinas humanas. Las obras de Flavia José son esenciales para entender los acontecimientos que ocurrieron en el escenario de la vida de Jesús, el Volumen 1 se refiere al período Malakhov del ateo, y nos hace conscientes de los cambios que han tenido lugar en Israel desde la época de Nehemías a Cristo, Flavio José Tom II habla del acontecimiento que nuestro Señor espera en el discurso profético del Monte Olives que es la destrucción de Jerusalén. Este libro responde a preguntas que alguna vez nos hemos hecho o nos hemos preguntado acerca de Dios y no le hemos hecho una respuesta bíblica. En 1955, en el apogeo de la Guerra Fría y con el bloque comunista en auge, un holandés de 27 años, Andrew van der Bijl, dejó todo para desafiar la brutal dictadura y venir en ayuda de los cristianos perseguidos en estos países. Así fue como se fundó la organización evangélica Puertas Abiertas, responsable de uno de los informes más prestigiosos sobre el estado del cristianismo en los países más intolerantes.
