The Regions Beyond— Copenhagen, Denmark

General Superintendent Powers

“The regions beyond” seemed to be a phrase that haunted the Apostle Paul. The spirit of the pioneer was in him; spiritual adventure in soul winning constantly challenged him. He never was satisfied with the status quo. Distant places constantly called to him to preach the gospel. The love of Christ con­ strained him to seek and find ways and means to take the message of salvation to those who had never heard. He always stood ready to support every sound, forward move that would give the gospel to nations unevangelized. With great faith and a commitment of all he was and all he possessed, he stood ready to respond to the leadership of the Spirit. While a ship riding at anchor, or a train heading into some little- known land, or the line of distant blue hills might beckon some to commerce or some selfish pursuit, for the apostle they represented a possible opportunity to preach where the message had not been heard. Something of this spirit must characterize the Church of Jesus Christ today. One year ago as we passed through the city of Copenhagen, Denmark, God laid the burden upon our hearts to take the message of full salvation through the Church of the Nazarene to this beautiful Scandinavian city. The Board of General Superintendents and the Department of Home Mis­ sions have decided to enter the city immediately with a series of services, looking toward the permanent establishment of the work of the church there, the first Scandinavian city entered by the Church of the Nazarene. We have splendid workers in Rev. and Mrs. Orville H. Kleven. The work will be under the direct supervision of Rev. Jerry Johnson in West Germany. Won’t you join in prayer for the success ol this project, and give generously in the Thanksgiving Offering and through your General Budget so that this first work of the Church of the Nazarene in Scandinavia may become firmly established?
