BJU Missionary Unit has 38 Workers in Four Continents

Not only is Bob Jones University called the "World's Most Unusual University," but its call-letters also could stand for "Worldwide Ministry Unto Unevangelized." The embodiment of this aspect of the university's international influence is found in Gospel Fellowship Missions, the foreign mission society whose office and headquarters are on the campus.

GFM is one of the more recent ministries begun by the university. This independent faith mission completed its fifth year of organized missionary activity. It has grown yearly and now has 38 workers in 11 fields scattered around the world in four continents.

Including two fields established this summer in Korea and Mexico, GFM missionaries are to be found in the Far East -- Japan and Korea; South America -- Chile and Brazil; North America -- Barbados, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Hawaii; Northern Europe -- Sweden and West Germany; and the Middle East --  Lebanon.

Administratively, the mission operates separately from the university and is a part of the Gospel Fellowship Association, chartered as a nonprofit organization in 1940. Through the years GFA has sponsored many kinds of evangelistic ministries through literature, radio, newspaper evangelism, films and evangelistic crusades.

A faith mission board like Gospel Fellowship Missions operates differently from a nominational mission society. The faith mission does not manipulate or salary its workers from a central board and treasury. However, it provides a source of counsel and finances for the missionary. The co-ordination of the total field program as well as the direction of personal ministries can be administered only through the board.

The missionary on the field needs a representative with the United States government as well as with the government of the country in which he is laboring. The board maintains the tie of fellowship between the missionaries on the field and the supporting churches in the homeland.

BECKER IS HEAD

The mission office, located in the Administration Building at BJU, is staffed by two full-time employees, Rev. Kenneth D. Becker, the executive secretary, and Mrs. Corban Tabler, office secretary. Board policy and decision is executed by a seven-member executive committee, consisting of executives and deans of the university. This is backed up by a board of trustees composed of 35 Christians around the country, among whom are pastors, evangelists, educators and laymen.

The nerve center of the worldwide work is in the home office. Donations from over 1,200 supporting churches and friends in 47 states and several foreign countries are received by the home office for the missionaries and their ministries. Each donation is acknowledged with a personal letter describing the current news of the missionary supported. At the end of the month, all missionary accounts are totaled and checks mailed around the world.

In order to maintain the personal touch and keep up with the load of correspondence, data processing equipment and a high-speed typewriter are leased. Because of this personal touch, donors are not only sup. porters, but also enthusiasts of the mission and missionaries, as they have frequently noted in correspondence. The mission office staff keeps a steady stream of information flowing to those who support the work through gifts and prayers.

The oldest GFM field is in Japan. Six missionaries there are working in tent evangelism, founding churches, training national pastors, Bible correspondence courses, literature and street evangelism, and children's and youth work.

Gospel Fellowship Mission's most recent field is in Mexico. It was founded by a Mexican national, Jose Lara, in his home area in Central Mexico. His father was one of the earliest converts to Christianity in the whole region, and Mr. Lara had the distinction of being reared in an evangelical home.

There are six national evangelists and as many as 75 little churches -- some having only one or two families -- in the mountains who look to Mr. Lara and his ministry. He intends to establish a Christian trade school, along with the evangelistic effort in the villages, to train the Mexican Christians in skills so that they can support their families and the church.

The precarious international situation was impressed upon the mission by the recent Middle East war. Lebanon was one of the mission's early fields, and the missionary family was on furlough when hostilities broke out. There may be a delay before the ministry will be re-established, and even then it may take a long time to overcome anti-American hostilities and the damage which has befallen many friends and converts of the missionary.

Menzo geeft WK-kwalificatie van voorselectie prijs

Natio-bondscoach Stanley Menzo heeft in aanloop naar de WK-kwalificatiewedstrijden volgende maand de de voorselectie prijsgegeven. Opvallende namen zijn ongetwijfeld die van Etienne Vaessen (RKC Waalwijk) en Gyrano Kerk (Royal Antwerp). Het duo werd al geruime tijd in verband gebracht met de mannen voetbalselectie van Suriname, maar enkele zaken moesten nog worden afgerond. Nu is dat een feit en kunnen ze officieel voor Natio uitkomen. Behalve Vaessen en Kerk bestond de kans dat de bondstrainer ook Immanuel Pherai (Hamburger SV), Danilho Doekhi (Union Berlin), Deyovaisio Zeefuik (Hertha BSC), Richonell Margaret (RKC Waalwijk), Jayden Turfkruier (Telstar) en Denzel Jubitana (Atromitos) zou kunnen verwelkomen. Dit zestal is echter niet geselecteerd. Blijkbaar zijn hun zaken nog niet in orde. Ook Ché Nunnely, die vóór de vriendschappelijke interland tegen Martinique op 24 maart aan het publiek was gepresenteerd, is opvallend genoeg afwezig. Radinio Balker, die wel deel uitmaakte van de selectie tegen Martinique, is ook niet in de voorselectie opgenomen. Balker kon vanwege een blessure zijn Natio debuut tegen Martinique niet maken. De 4 lokale spelers in de voorselectie zijn allen Robinhooders. Het gaat om doelman Jonathan Fonkel, centrumverdediger Allierio Belfor, middenvelder Renske Adipi en vleugelaanvaller tevens aanvoerder Jamilhio Rigters. Kelvin Leerdam, Jeredy Hilterman, Navajo Bakboord, Gleofilo Vlijter en Leandro Kappel zijn weer van de partij. Het nationaal team komt, zoals Menzo eerder tegenover Keynews zei, volgens planning al op 29 mei bijeen. Op papier staan de WK-kwalificatiewedstrijden tegen Saint Vincent and The Grenadines (5 juni Franklin Essedstadion) en Anguilla (8 juni Ronald Webster Park). Volledig overzicht voorselectie: Doelverdedigers: Warner Hahn (Kyoto Sanga), Joey Roggeveen (FC Tulsa), Ishan Kort (BE 1 Academia), Jonathan Fonkel (Robinhood) en Etienne Vaessen (RKC Waalwijk). Verdedigers: Stefano Denswil (Trabzonspor), Navajo Bakboord (Heracles Almelo), Anfernee Dijksteel (Middlesbrough), Djevencio van der Kust (Sparta Rotterdam), Damil Dankerlui (Panserraikos), Myenty Abena (Ferencvárosi), Shaquille Pinas (Hammarby), Ridgeciano Haps (Genoa) en Allierio Belfor (Robinhood). Middenvelders: Dion Malone (Karmiotissa), Kelvin Leerdam (Heracles Almelo), Dhoraso Klas (ADO Den Haag), Kenneth Paal (Queens Park Rangers), Justin Lonwijk (Fortuna Sittard) en Renske Adipi (Robinhood). Aanvallers: Jeredy Hilterman (WILLEM II), Florian Jozefzoon (Bandirmaspor), Sheraldo Becker (Real Sociedad), Yanic Wildschut (Exeter City), Luciano Slagveer (Puskas Akademia), Leandro Kappel (Pendikspor), Virgil Misidjan (Al Tai), Jamilhio Rigters (Robinhood), Tyrone Conraad (Meizhou Hakka), Jaden Montnor (Aris Limassol), Gyrano Kerk (Royal Antwerp) en Gleofilo Vlijter (Vaasan Pallosuer).

Comics/Graphic Novels I Read in 2023 (Part 2)

11. March Book 3 by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell

We finally got the coverage of Bloody Sunday and the heartbreaking horrible acts committed before, around, and after this day. But this story also led up to the passing of the Civil Rights Act and the fight it was to get that approved. While all our problems may not be solved, its hard not be proud of the progress that has been made. We must not let it go backwards and we all must fight. It was great to read this too before I went to Atlanta and to the Civil Rights Museum where its emphasized that we must all fight if we want real change. And that means willing to get hurt.

12. They Called Us Enemy by George Takei, Justin Eisinger, Steven Scott, and Harmony Becker

A powerful first hand account of one of the most atrocious acts in United States History. When we, like Germany, decided a whole group of people were the enemy even though they were fully immigrated and living American lives when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. Seeing Takei describe the things he saw through his childhood and youthful eyes while also seeing the things his parents do as an adult made it hard because so much of it felt like what happened in Germany and Polland, but without the gas chambers. That doesn’t make it okay, that we didn’t kill these people. In fact its horrific the way we treated them and its important story to tell. I also appreciate that Takei has been so vocal about it and has tried to tell it through so many mediums. I went and saw Allegiance a couple weeks after it first opened and was sad it wasn’t a smash hit because it was a great musical and powerful story. But the main takeaway is we can’t forget our history and we can’t erase it. We need to own it and make it better for those who have suffered and make sure it never happens again.

13. Iyanu: Child of Wonder Volume 1 by Roye Okupe with Godwin Akpan

I loved this introduction book into a world so steeped in African folklore and with a mystery and fantasy element to add suspense and intrigue. In this novel we meet Inayu. A forest girl who we learn survived after her parents died and became a student of a woman who is part of the Olori, the first people to have magic and mystical powers. In this world, the magic has all but disappeared and the animals have been poisoned to be more dangerous and alert. But Iyanu, who sneaks into the village from time to time, has the power of the wonder which means she is a child of prophecy. One that must be hunted by the now leader of the village for it means she is a threat. Can’t wait to see where we go in this journey with Iyanu into the histories of Yorubuland.

14. Red Hood and the Outlaws Volume 1: Redemption by Scott Lobdell and Kenneth Rocafort

The more I keep interacting with Batman media, the more intriguing I find Jason Todd’s story which is why I picked this up. I want to learn more about this former Robin and how he was brought back from the dead, how he deals with crime, but also how is a former hero underneath. And while I’m not up to his full history of lore, I do like that the story focuses on him avenging the order who saved his soul after he came out of the Lazarus pit. And while this isn’t Bizarro and Artemis (like the Webtoon I’m reading) I do like this dynamic of Roy Harper and Starfire, mainly because I have always like Roy and its nice to know more of his story. The blatant oversexualized styling of Starfire is unnecessary though and something that will be hard to read through. I didn’t realize the cover art was a way to hide that but thankfully the rest of the story is interesting enough to continue.

15. Saga Volume 4 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples

Got to admit, this one became a little bit more tough to get through, but it felt realistic. It’s been a couple years since we have seen everyone and we learn Alana has become a TV actor who gets way too hooked on recreational drugs to do her job probably, Marko is trying to be a good Dad, but has to constantly hide his face so they aren’t recognized, and Prince Robot the IV has been hiding out on a space brothel where he learns of the murder of his wife and the kidnapping of his newborn son. Of course things unravel and people split up, but I wasn’t expecting Marko and Prince Robot the IV to team up. I doubt this will go well in the long run.

16. Saga Volume 5 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples

As we learn from Hazel in this novel, it may be that her parents never get back together or least not for a long time. Which is sad when they both seem to want it. Though now that Alana is sober, Marko has given in to his rage so I’m not sure that’s healthy either. We also catch back up with Gwendolyn and the Slave girl as they team up with The Will’s sister to get an antidote to save him. However, she dies after Slave girl tries to plan hero and when they explain that to The Will after reviving him ,he wants nothing to do with the two, only focused on rage which I’m sure will help him hunt down Hazel.

17. Avatar: The Last Airbender – Smoke and Shadow by Brian Konietzko, Michael Diante DiMartino, Gene Luen Yang, and Gurihirl

I haven’t read the comic collection before this which explains the reunion of Zuko’s mom, so while I was sad I got spoiled, I can’t wait to read it to find out why her face was changed by a spirit. Still we get to see Fire Lord Zuko in action when an ancient Fire Lord story comes to life as children get captured by Kemurikage, a group of young women who also are helping the Fire Lord Ozai society to uprise against Zuko. Mai and Zuko are on the outs, but team up to solve the mystery with Aang’s help, who is also needed for his humor and level headedness. What I wasn’t expecting was to find that Azula is behind the Kemuirkage, so she definitely hasn’t changed her ways.

18. Doctor Who: Ground Zero by Scott Gray, Martin Geraghty, Alan Barnes, Gareth Roberts, and Adrian Salmon

A mutli-doctor collection that eventually ties Sarah Jane, Tegan, Peri, and Ace together when an alien species is hell bent on hunting down the Doctor. Of course with the Seventh Doctor things are bound to get dark, but I was not prepared for how dark even though I’ve gotten used to comic Doctor-Who stories being darker than the show and audios. Still while it was fast pace and action packed, I also wasn’t prepared for this to be the canonical end to Ace (haha, just kidding, canon isn't real in DW). She’s the best and fought until the end, but I’m sad to learn that her story ends so tragically, making her the second companion to die while travelling with the Doctor.

19. Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor Adventures Year Three #1: Breakfast at Tyranny’s by Nick Abadzis, Giorgia Sposito, Valeria Favoccia, Arianna Florean, and Hi-FI

It’s been a while since I caught up with the Doctor and Gabby Gonzalez, but I was surprised to see that Gabby’s friend Cindy has also joined her as well as a powerful ancient being named Nubis (Based on the Eygptian Gods and apparently the son of Sutekh). They arrive in ancient China and learn of a plot that is formed by the cloning of Cindy, and while they sort it out, Cindy learns her heritage starts with her clones which makes her whole life a bit of a paradox. We also see that Gabby’s powers have grown and that’s starting to cause strain between her and the Doctor.

20. Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor Adventures Year Three #2: Vortex Butterflies by Nick Abadzis, Giorgia Sposito, Iolanda Zanfardino, Arianna Florean, and Nicola Righi

I’m glad to have read the next collection after the previous one because my suspicions about Gabby and the Doctor were right as they get pushed in this volume. The Doctor leaves Gabby and Cindy in London while he goes on the hunt of a mysterious anomaly that is causing time ripples. Thankfully he also clues in Sarah Jane Smith to look out for the two, but it gets harder as Gabby’s powers keep freaking out. Turns out the Doctor’s hunt leads him to a possible future Gabby whose powers are consuming the universe, but thanks to his friendship with Gabby he stops it and goes back to reassure Gabby that their friendship won’t ever devolve like that possible future.

What roles should Richard Armitage be pursuing? I have typically said: “On principle, I don’t know.”

DOB: September 1st 1972 Age: 51 years old Hometown: Sussex, England Nicknames: James S/O: Kelly Montgomery Kids: Jenna, Victoria, and Eliza Friend(s): Ava Jagger Aesthetic: When he was 16 and his parents got divorced he acted out like crazy. He was partying and doing drugs and just running wild. Became a total pain to BOTH of his parents and they knew something was up. He was surprisinly fond of his father and they got along quite well, so when he divorced his mom shit went down. He is just a bit too much like Keith in a way.

DOB: July 3rd 1976 Age: 47 years old Hometown: Sussex, England Nicknames: Mia, Mila S/O: Nicholas Urie Kids: Jaiden, Olivia, and Taylor Friend(s): Alice Lindsey and Jennifer Weiss Aesthetic: The kindest out of all her siblings. Loves being a girly girl and dressing up for brunch. The spitting image of her mother and Keith adores it. She looks and acts just like her mom, from her eyes straight down to the mannerisms she uses. Head to toe Lucy.

Evie Lynn Richards (@evielynn)

DOB: November 18th 1978 Age: 45 years old Hometown: Sussex, England Nicknames: Eve S/O: Sierra Lynch Kids: Noel and Everly Friend(s): Henry Burke Aesthetic: The shy kid. She never was really one for the spotlight but never acted out from it. She knew she had a good reputation from a young age and was a people pleaser. One wrong move and she would be done for and everyone would hate her. She was always nice with the paparazzi and in interviews. She was the press' princess since she was born.

DOB: December 2nd 1985 Age: 38 years old Hometown: Sussex, England Nicknames: Soph S/O: Joshua Green Kids: Hannah Friend(s): Sloane Becker and Gregory Phillips Aesthetic: A literal model. She is stunning and she knows it. She uses it to her advantage, and her dad taught her that. He loved her the most secretly but he would never tell. She became the youngest model to be on the cover of Vouge when she was just 16 years old. When she dated Damon Albarn from 2006-2008 it caused quite the stir because of their age gap. People thought it was another case of her parents. It was, and they broke up after about 2 years.

Alexander Cole Richards (@alexcrich)

DOB: October 13th 1986 Age: 37 years old Hometown: Sussex, England Nicknames: Al, Alex, Lexi, and Xander S/O: Natalie Bell Kids: Juliana, Damien, and Jaxon Friend(s): Zackary Best Aesthetic: Alexander was the glue holding this family on by the thread. A lot of fighting goes on in this family and he has always hated it. He's always the one to bring people back together to make things right, the therepist friend if you will. He has a lot of issues he refuses to talk about just to avoid conflict.

DOB: December 18th 2001 Age: 22 years old Hometown: Sussex, England Nickames: Charlie and Lottie S/O: Hallie Carpenter Kids: None Friend(s): Loralai Mendoza Aesthetic: The youngest, and a complete accident on her parents part. She was not planned but loved nevertheless. Her older siblings love her because she's so little to them. Her parents never had to pay for a babysitter because they had her brothers and sisters. She was a very adventurous kid and loved the outdoors. Had a lot of pet snails too.
