Module 4, Unit 3, Lesson 1 Shepherd Family Women (Pioneers of Women in Ministry) Module 4, Unit 3, Lesson 1 Shepherd family women (pioneers of women in ministry) Guiding Principle: God can use me. Memory Verse: “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” 1 Timothy 4:12 (NIV) Leader’s Background Information: These history lessons of the early Salvation Army can inspire us all to return to the youth and vigor our church had in its beginnings. In this lesson, we learn about Kate Shepherd who ministered to an entire community at 17 years old. If we can help our junior soldiers understand that God can work through them in the same way, there is no stopping this generation of young people from doing bold things for Jesus. Guiding Principle: God can use me.

One idea to keep the junior soldiers engaged is to set up stations! If you have a large group, play the game and teach the lesson with the junior soldiers all together, then divide into two groups. The first group will watch the video and go through the small group questions and the second can work on the Inspire project, then switch. IMPACT COOKIE MINING Group size: 1+ Preparation Time: 5 minutes Time Needed for Activity: 15 minutes Materials: • Hard chocolate chip cookie (one per junior soldier) • Soft chocolate chip cookie (one per junior soldier) • 2 Paper towels (per junior soldier) • 6 Toothpicks (per junior soldier) Preparation: • Gather supplies. Directions: 1. Give each junior soldier one of each type of cookie, two paper towels, and six toothpicks. 2. Start the junior soldiers digging in the hard cookies to pull out the chocolate chips using only the toothpicks. If they break a toothpick and it is no longer sharp, they can no longer use it. It must be thrown away. 3. After 3 to 5 minutes, stop and find out if anyone was successful in extracting anything. As a class, review the debriefing questions below. 4. Have them excavate in the soft cookies using the same rules. 5. After 3 to 5 minutes, stop and find out if the junior soldiers were more or less successful in extracting chips. Review the debriefing questions again. How did the results differ between the hard and the soft cookies? Safety: Be sure that the junior soldiers do not poke each other with the toothpicks. Be aware of gluten allergies. Avoid cookies with nuts to avoid any nut allergies. Say: Please take your seats so we can begin our activity. Everyone has received two cookies, two paper towels, and six toothpicks. Do you notice how the cookies are different? One is hard and one is soft. We’re going to start with the hard chocolate chip cookie. This activity is called Cookie Mining. We are going to try and remove the chocolate chips from the cookie without breaking the cookie. You may use the toothpicks provided to try and carve out the chocolate chips. Give it a try! (Give them a few minutes to try.) Debriefing Questions: • Are the chips you dug out whole or broken? Are there bits of cookies still clinging to them or are they relatively clean? M4U3L1: Shepherd family women (pioneers of women in ministry) 3 IMPACT • What was it like trying to remove the chips from the hard cookie? • Has anyone used up all their toothpicks already? Let’s move on to the soft chocolate chip cookie next and see if it is easier. (Give them a few minutes to try.) Debriefing Questions: • Are the chips you dug out whole or broken? Are there bits of cookies still clinging to them or are they relatively clean? • What was it like trying to remove the chips from the softer cookie? • How was it different from removing the chips from the hard cookie? Allow the junior soldiers to eat their cookies as they continue to listen to the lesson. After the game, say: In today’s lesson we are going to talk about an incident that took place in a coal mining village in the 1800’s. Digging out chocolate chips from a cookie is similar to the work coal miners do in the caves, except they are trying to remove coal from rock! I’m sure you would agree that working in a classroom is much different from excavating coal underground in the dark. In the coal mining story we’re about to tell you, there was a woman named Kate Shepherd who came to share the Good News of Jesus with the coal miners. Let’s take our seats and learn more about the story. You may eat your cookies while you listen to the story. 4 M4U3L1: Shepherd family women (pioneers of women in ministry) ILLUMINATE Say: Today’s lesson is about unlikely friendships. It is about someone who knows God when others don’t. Can you imagine what that would be like? Have you ever had a friend who didn’t know God? What was that like? (Allow response.) Imagine for one minute a neighborhood that is one of the most dangerous in your city or state. It is not hard to imagine what it is like at night: people get drunk, take drugs, and commit crimes that end up on the nightly news. Imagine police sirens, yelling and fighting in the streets, and gunshots; someone gets killed; someone gets kidnapped. It’s just another night in the neighborhood. Some of us may live in areas like this or know someone who does. Now imagine in your mind some of these same criminals walking together down the street singing praise songs. Imagine them apologizing to each other for their violence and hatred and then imagine them apologizing to the neighborhood children for being bad examples. On one street corner you might see former gang members reading Bibles together or on another corner a former drunk and drug dealer praying. Then imagine many of these men and women going into a local church and asking the preacher to let them hear some Bible teaching! This sounds almost too good to be true, right? We might wonder: could God really do this? When criminals turn their lives over to God; when drug addicts surrender their addiction to Jesus; and when drunks and dishonest men become sober and honest, it is not simply that they got tired of being bad. It is called a spiritual awakening. Did you know that there are times in history where these kinds of things have happened? Today’s lesson is about such an event. I need us all to participate in this story. I have hats for those who want to be coal miners and a basket of pretend food for one person to be Kate Shepherd. The next part of the lesson involves a lot of history. Maybe have your junior soldiers role play the coal miners and Kate Shepherd as you read the story. Crumple up a bunch of black construction paper beforehand to use as coal. Have construction hats that they can wear as they pretend to be miners. Designate one junior soldier to be Kate Shepherd who gives out play food and prays with the coal miners. South Wales, Rhonnda Valley Setting: South Wales, a region known as the Rhonnda Valley. 1870-1880 Time Period: 1870-1880 M4U3L1: Shepherd family women (pioneers of women in ministry) 5 ILLUMINATE What was happening here during that time? Mining coal was a big deal. In South Wales in the 1800’s coal was very popular because it could be mined cheaply and sold to the rest of England for its industry needs. Even today, coal is the most abundant fossil fuel resource in the United States. Almost half of our electricity comes from coal-fired plants and provides almost a quarter of America’s energy needs. Coal is also the least expensive fossil fuel to use. What is coal and coal mining? Coal is a black or brownish-black shiny rock and most of it is buried deep underground so we must “mine” or dig it out. Finding coal used to be done by people called prospectors or miners. A coal miner in South Wales would have looked like this in the 1930’s.1 Coal mining was dirty and dangerous work.

Kids today have no shortage of heroes. From Hollywood celebrities to music artists and sports figures, it would seem that there are plenty of heroes to go around. The heroes being offered by popular culture are teaching children that physical perfection, financial success, and fame are the most important goals in life. The morals and values presented by these heroes are often in direct opposition to the standards parents want to pass on to their children. So, while there is no shortage of heroes, there is a dreadful shortage of heroes worth emulating.

  • “In Darkest England and the Way Out”
    VICTOR BAILEY "IN DARKEST ENGLAND AND THE WAY OUT" THE SALVATION ARMY, SOCIAL REFORM AND THE LABOUR MOVEMENT, 1885-1910* The British bourgeois [...] finally [. ..] accepted the dan- gerous aid of the Salvation Army, which revives the propa- ganda of early Christianity, appeals to the poor as the elect, fights capitalism in a religious way, and thus fosters an element of early Christian class antagonism, which one day may become troublesome to the well-to-do people who now find the ready money for it. F. Engels1 In the past decade a prominent theme in the historiography of nineteenth-century Britain has been the imposition of middle-class habits and attitudes upon the populace by means of new or re-invigorated mechanisms of "social control". To the apparatus of law enforcement and to the disciplines of the factory and wage labour, historians have added the less overt instruments of social welfare, education, religion, leisure and moral reform. Philanthropists, educators, clergymen and moralizers have all become soldiers in a campaign to uproot the "anti-social" character- istics of the poor and to cement the hegemony of the elite.2 Not surprisingly, the concept of "social control", and the depiction of the activities and institutions of the propertied as effective instruments of social discipline, have run into opposition. Most significant, for present purposes, is F. M. L. Thompson's objection that the idea of social control * The research for this paper was greatly facilitated by the R. T. French Visiting Professorship, which links the University of Rochester, New York, and Worcester Col- lege, Oxford.

  • A Critique of Salvation Narratives in the Salvation Army in Australia”
    ABSTRACT WE HAVE A GOSPEL: A CRITIQUE OF SALVATION NARRATIVES IN THE SALVATION ARMY IN AUSTRALIA by Laithe J. Greenaway The Salvation Army used to sing, “We have a gospel that matches the hour.” What is the message of salvation for this hour that God calls the Army to embody and proclaim? The purpose of this research is to help The Salvation Army in Australia in its proclamation of the gospel by providing a critique of understandings of salvation in the Army. This study examines both historical and contemporary understandings. It identifies changes in order to allow consideration of whether these changes have furthered a faithful contextual embodiment of God’s calling to be The Salvation Army. The researcher utilized an historical document study, a questionnaire given to members of Salvation Army Leadership Teams across Australia, and followed with ethnographic observations and interviews with key informants. The research instruments helped to identify the words and images used to describe salvation. They also helped to identify varying understandings of the source, nature, and telos of salvation. The data was analyzed using Template Analysis (Brooks et al.). The research shows that the Army has a broad understanding of the reach of salvation. There are varied understandings of how ministries relate to salvation. Among contemporary leaders, there is an increased appreciation of the mystery of God, but there is also a tendency towards depersonalizing God. The historical emphasis on pardon has been replaced by more “positive” presentations of the Gospel. The preferred contemporary presentation is “transformation.” This concept weakens the emphasis for new birth and is vague in its goal.

By Major Stephen Grinstead, Director, Salvation Army Heritage Centre, London. Lively, godley, good, chatty, enthusiastic, and a third-generation Salvationist, steeped in tradition. That’s Major Stephen, telling about 60 TADS members and guests of the army. Baughurst and surrounding areas have had a strong Salvationist presence since about 1898, and many of today's Army members are descendants of those original Corps families. They were well represented at our meeting! Add to that evangelical, impoverished, rich, eccentric, humble - these words describe some of the officers and ‘soldiers’ who have been drawn from early times (and today) to serve in the Sally Army during the 150 years of its existence.
