Reports from Around the World

Pakistan: Christians evicted for standing up against injustice
Christian families are being evicted from their homes in the Khanewal District of Pakistan by their Muslim landlords. The reason? They stood up against the landlords and their sons raping their wives and daughters.
Your diligent prayers are needed: "We need to be asking the Lord that justice would prevail in Pakistan."
Editor's note: Heavy flooding from heavy monsoon rains has severely affected the Khanewal District, after this report was made. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Pakistan_floods

Tanzanian Court Acquits Two Evangelists of 'Illegal Preaching'
A Tanzanian court yesterday acquitted two evangelists of "illegal preaching." After 10 months of hearings, a Kariakoo area court in Dar es Salaam closed the case against Anglican Christians Eleutery Kobelo and Cecil Simbaulanga, who were arrested in October 2009 after Muslims invited them to participate in a religious debate at which the opponents did not appear, but authorities did. The two evangelists maintained that no Muslims showed up to the neutral site of the supposed inter-faith debate until Islamists arrived with government security agents who charged them with "using religious sermons to incite Muslims and Christians into viewing each other with suspicion." The accusers had claimed that the Christians' message that Jesus is God had annoyed Muslims and therefore disrupted a peaceful coexistence between those of the two faiths. Kobelo told Compass Direct by telephone that the Muslims failed to show up in court to support their allegation of illegal preaching. After the verdict, Christians shouting for joy greeted the evangelists as they left the courtroom, he said. "We are grateful that that the court has done justice and made its ruling based on Tanzania's constitution that allows for freedom of religion and assembly," Kobelo said. "We thank the Christians worldwide for praying for us."

One Hundred Years Later, Dowie's Church Corrects a Failed Legacy
As a result of holding to Christian beliefs mixed with witchcraft practices, the amaZioni people group of southern Africa are confused. Missionaries tried to reach them over the years, but Ross McCordic with TEAM says they wouldn't budge. "This resistance to the Gospel was not so much a resistance to teachings about Christ as it was a resistance to letting go [of] a religion that they held to very, very firmly and believed in the depths of their hearts was the truth." The Christian beliefs instilled in the amaZioni were brought to them by missionaries from Zion, Illinois over a century ago. The Christians of Zion, a city originally founded by John Alexander Dowie, had rejected modern conveniences and the emerging science of medicine that was distrusted by most Americans. Intrigued by the missionaries' rejection of modernity and their reliance on God alone for healing, many prominent tribesmen accepted the beliefs the missionaries taught. However, before long, internal and financial problems forced the Western missionaries to withdraw before the amaZioni were firmly grounded in the truth.
The amaZioni grew exponentially over the years, and so did their newfound religion. They began to spawn churches and raise up leaders but moved further away from any Biblical teaching they had known and moved further into folk belief. They mixed Christian practices with traditional African ones, including witchcraft.
One hundred years later and 18 million strong, the amaZioni seemed only to listen to people connected to the church in Zion, IL. Through the years, the church in Zion, IL became a strong, evangelical church. In the early 1980s, they became aware of the confused legacy they had left in southern Africa and consequently believed it was their personal responsibility to back go to the amaZioni and teach the truth. Now missionaries commissioned by the Zion church are able to teach at the four Bible colleges they've established across South Africa and Mozambique and to proclaim the truth of God's Word to the amaZioni. As the amaZioni come to understand the Gospel, they begin to change their own practices and habits to match those taught in God's Word. More and more amaZioni are coming to faith as a result, with the potential to change generations for Christ.

Trafficked: the only way out is up
The U.S. recently added several Asian countries to its human trafficking watch list, adding to the many that were already on it. Women are tricked into prostitution in Asia because of their poverty, and they find it nearly impossible to leave when given the opportunity. Pioneers missionary Ella Grere offers jobs at a jewelry business to victims of trafficking in East Asia, providing an alternative means to earn an income. However, she laments: "We've had our business going for two years now and really only three women have come out of the brothels to work for us full-time." The phenomenon has a lot to do with the emotional state of the victims as a result of being treated like slaves. Even when trust in the missionaries is gained, these women often are still too emotionally defeated to leave their situation. They won't leave because they don't believe they're worth it. This mindset blinds them to the Gospel, says Grere. "The thing I hear most often when I share the Gospel is, 'I could never face God--I'm too dirty and worthless.'" She adds, "They can never leave the brothel behind unless they can grasp the hand of Jesus." Grere asks for prayer that trafficked women "would actually have enough faith that when God calls their name, they can listen and believe that He could truly love them."

Tony Richie, "Is it Full Partnership or Partial?"


Is it Full Partnership or Partial? The Church of God Struggles with the Role of Women

By Tony Richie


The Church of God 73rd International General Assembly met in Orlando, Florida July 27-30, 2010. This biennial meeting is a significant event on the Church of God (Cleveland, TN) calendar. Among other things, during this time denominational leadership is nominated and elected and contemporary issues facing the organization are discussed, debated, and decided, first by recommendations from the General Council of Bishops (all male), then by ratification of the General Assembly proper (all registered delegates, clergy and laity, male and female, over sixteen years of age). During this assembly the issue of women in ministry was prominent - and discussion was passionate.

Acts 2:17-18 clearly indicates that Spirit-filled women have an important place alongside Spirit-filled men in the ministry of a Pentecostal church. Unlike many other Evangelical groups, the Church of God, one of the oldest of the classical Pentecostal denominations, ardently affirms the place of women in ministry; but the Church of God has often struggled to define the specifics of that place, particularly in leadership functions. This ambiguity contributes to partial affirmations combined with partial reservations. Soon after the General Overseer (aka Presiding Bishop), Dr. Raymond Culpepper, made moving remarks about uniting and implementing the Great Commission (Matt 28:18-20) and the Great Commandment (Matt 22:37-40) and led the gathering in a significant time of concert prayer, the General Council session quickly moved into passionate and spirited debate on the agenda item, Women in Ministry, particularly on ordination of women as bishops. In the Church of God, bishops comprise the General Council with rights to debate and vote in session. Also, only bishops are eligible to serve in almost all elected or appointed positions. Presently, the Church of God ordains women as ministers with full rights to preach, to perform weddings and the sacraments, and to pastor churches but it does not allow women to be bishops.

The Moderator repeatedly found it necessary to remind the Council to be sensitive of the Council's tone, decorum, and demeanor and to carefully weigh all remarks. Opinions on this issue were polarizing. It seemed everyone passionately desired to correctly interpret, apply, and embrace the truth found in Scripture. Those "against" ordaining women as bishops adamantly argued that a literal interpretation of Scripture allowed no room for any other view. They appear to fear compromise of biblical beliefs thereby undermining commitment to biblical inspiration and authority. However, speeches made by those "for" ordaining women as bishops included several leading biblical scholars and theologians as well as church historians. These seem convinced that careful exegesis of Scripture and awareness of Church of God history and the Pentecostal heritage provide a firm foundation for full partnership in ministry. In fact, some argued that the struggle about the role of women in the Church of God is itself indicative of doctrinal transition or departure from the denomination's Holiness Pentecostal roots toward a more Baptistic theology and polity. On the one hand, opponents to the motion were apparently concerned that a "liberalizing" trend beginning with ordaining women bishops might lead to similar steps in the future regarding ordaining homosexuals and lesbians. Proponents of the motion emphatically denied any such perceived connections. On the other hand, proponents of the motion to ordain women as bishops repeatedly compared antagonists to 19th century Christian slaveholders in the southern United States prior to the Civil War - a connection that was also emphatically denied by their opponents. Though much of this discussion was about nomenclature, culture and context, the process required a simple "yes" or "no" response. The motion failed with a "no vote" of 62.52%. A bold attempt to reconsider the subject in the General Assembly session failed as well.

Under the same heading of Women in Ministry, the General Council addressed the issue of women serving on the Church and Pastor's Council. In the Church of God, a local congregation may opt to form a committee to serve in an advisory capacity to the pastor and congregation. This group is known as the Church and Pastor's Council. Although a congregation may or may not opt for such a council, and may even choose other options for local church governmental leadership, a congregation which does choose to have a Church and Pastor's Council is thereby required to follow the guidelines laid out in the General Assembly. One of the guidelines for serving on the Church and Pastor's Council has been that a council member must be male. The definitive response from the Council was perhaps one of the smallest margins of decision ever noted in the Council's history. The recommendation to delete the word "male" from the guidelines as written in the Church of God Book of Minutes passed by a 50.12% to 49.88% margin, a five vote differential (1,080 to 1,085). This measure went to the General Assembly for ratification by a similarly narrow margin (10 votes out of a body more than twice the size). Therefore, women, clergy or laity, will now be allowed to serve on local church councils if they are otherwise qualified.

The intensity and narrowness of these votes probably suggest serious division within the Church of God regarding this important issue. In fact, it appears there are almost equal but opposite camps. There are those who believe that godly women full of the Holy Spirit should be full partners with men in ministry, and others who believe that in spite of ability women should fill supportive and subservient or subordinate roles when it comes to any kind of leadership. Nevertheless, the favorable vote for women serving on local church councils may possibly be a cautious step toward potential incremental openness to eventual ordination of women as bishops. In all of this discussion and division, one thing seems sure: the matter of women in ministry and in leadership is not about to go away any time soon - at least not in the Church of God.

Bernie A. Van De Walle, "Cautious Co-belligerence?"

From the Summer 2010 issue

Cautious Co-belligerence? The Late Nineteenth-Century American Divine Healing Movement and the Promise of Medical Science
By Bernie A. Van De Walle

Introduction

The late nineteenth century was a time of monumental change. It witnessed a cyclone of transformation and progress rivaling, at least, that of any preceding era. Not surprisingly, it was a time of key advances in medical science. This era was home to Pasteur, Roentgen, Lister, and a number of lesser known, but still significant, medical pioneers. These inventors and their discoveries radically reshaped and significantly advanced the practice of medicine. New advances seemed to be dawning with every new day. At the end of the nineteenth century, the promise of medical science seemed unlimited.

At the same time, the late nineteenth century also saw religious change. There was the emergence of the Divine Healing movement, a loosely associated group of religious teachers and practitioners who sought to promote and practice the healing power of the indwelling and resurrected Christ over that of natural means. This movement gained tens of thousands of adherents in a significantly short span of time. Key figures in this group included people from a wide-variety of denominations, men and women, ministers and physicians. Furthermore, this movement played an essential role in the birth of Pentecostalism[1], the greatest religious movement of the twentieth century.

Therefore, there rose simultaneously on the American landscape at least two significant approaches to health and healing in the late nineteenth century, each with its own biased and ardent champions and devotees. Yet, the opinion of the late nineteenth-century Divine Healing teachers did not, as one might expect, thoroughly dispense with the value and goodness of physicians, their diagnoses, and medical treatment. While they did not completely dismiss the advances, usefulness, and propriety of medical science, they did assert that it was, at best, a deficient approach to the gravity, complexity, and depth of human disease. While they believed that physicians and their medical treatments may be gifts from God, they were convinced that medical science was fundamentally unable to bring to humanity the kind of health and life intended for them by God and found solely in the redeeming work of Jesus Christ.

This chapter will explore those common and key responses - both the affirmations and the denials - of the late nineteenth-century Divine Healing proponents to the growing popularity and use of medicine, remedies, and physicians.

Clarke's A PAULINE THEOLOGY OF CHURCH LEADERSHIP, Reviewed by Jim Purves

From the Summer 2010 issue

Andrew D. Clarke, A Pauline Theology of Church Leadership (New York: T & T Clark, 2008), 189 pages, ISBN 9780567045607.

This work is important for those considering how best to 'do church' and who are also seeking after a Biblical model of leadership. The volume, a theological monograph in the Library of New Testament Studies series, is both theologically up to date and pastorally relevant for today. Clark, a senior lecturer in New Testament Studies in the University of Aberdeen and also the leader of a new church in rural Aberdeenshire, continues and develops the theme of Paul's understanding of leadership which he addressed in his earlier work, Serve the Community of the Church: Christians as Leaders and Ministers (Eerdmans, 2000). In that work, Clark had noted how Paul's understanding of Christian leadership should be distinguished from contemporary, social understandings of leadership in the 1st century Graeco-Roman context.

In this new work, Clarke goes on the examine the peculiar nuances of Paul's description and encouragement of leadership within the church, identifying that Paul was certainly not an advocate of egalitarian communism, but a believer in levels of authority. What is of special interest is how, as a New Testament and Pauline specialist, Clarke approaches this issue.

Clarke argues that we can only understand Paul's perspective on leadership and apostolic authority within the ecclesial context in which he worked. That is, a context of house churches where relationship and transparency was integral to the leadership role. He sees the various descriptors - overseer, elder and deacon not as offices, as they would later become in the Ignatian model, but properly as descriptors, often interchangeable or overlapping, of leadership dynamics within the local churches.

For Clarke, the critical ingredients for Pauline leadership were both an ability to teach and an ability to model Christlikeness to others: functions that necessitated relational accountability of such leaders within the local church communities they sought to lead. Clarke see that an attempt to appeal to Paul for models of ministry that vindicate power structures within larger people groups is to remove him from his context.

Of equal value to the observations regarding leadership is the update, in the first two chapters, on methodology and hermeneutics. Clarke helps the reader to come to grips with what can or should legitimately be argued as being as 'Biblical perspective'. Given the debates over apostolic models of leadership and styles of leadership that can be vindicated as 'biblical', Clarke's work is here both timely and an important aids to those who want to review how the church today can better replicate or reflect the emphases present in the church of the apostolic age.

Prayer Requests

  • Pastor assassinated in Dagestan, Russia. Compass Direct News Service report that Artur Suleimanov, 49, pastor of Hosanna Christian Church in Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan, Russia, was shot on the evening of 15th July 2010 while leaving his church building. Pastor Suleimanov's church was known as the biggest Protestant church in the region, successfully reaching out to Muslims and comprised mostly by former Muslims. As an ethnic Avar, Suleimanov was considered by many Muslims to be an apostate and therefore deserving of death.
    Pastor Suleimanov is survived by his wife, Zina, and five children. Pray for God's comfort and protection over the grieving family. Pray that the Lord will encourage and strengthen believers from Hosanna Christian Church in spite of the fear and the pain after their pastor's assassination. Pray for protection over the Church in Dagestan, and pray that the Christians will not be intimidated by this act of violence.

  • A pastor asks for prayer: "My name is Daniel B. and I pastor a Native American mission church ... It is located just outside the Turtle Mountain Reservation of North Dakota. We are in a dire need of a ministry van or similar type of vehicle to keep our ministry going. Our people depend solely on us for transportation to and from our church for any ministry activities."
  • Threats increase against followers of Christ in Indonesia. Voice of the Martyrs Canada joins their concerns with reports coming out of Indonesia from Compass Direct and AsiaNews. Christians in Bekasi, West Java have faced growing opposition in recent months from Muslims opposed to "Christianization." Church services throughout the city have been interrupted and Christians threatened. There is also a push for sharia law in the region. Pray that the authorities will protect the Christians against opposition from militant Islamic groups.

  • Pastor JP writes: "Please pray for our Gospel work and church shelter and house construction in Ponnur." Reference Number: 90042164
  • Continuous attacks against Christian in Nigeria. Christian Solidarity Worldwide, UK reports about renewed latest violence in Jos North, Nigeria, where on 16th July 2010 Mazah village came under attack by armed Fulani Muslims, leaving at least eight people dead, including children, many injured and homes burnt to the ground. It is further reported that the attackers targeted key members of the community, the village head and a pastor. Although security forces were called and arrived in time, they did nothing to prevent the violence. Plateau State is reported to be tensed following the burial of the victims. Christians have continued to come under attack in 2010 as tensions and violence continue in Jos, northern Nigeria. Outbursts of violence against Christians in Nigeria in July 2010 were reported by other sources as well.
    Pray that God will comfort those who are suffering and mourning after the loss of their close ones. Pray against further violence and unrest in Nigeria. Pray that the Lord will give wisdom to local authorities in Nigeria to deal with the violence and the unrest in the country.
