Mack Update 10/22/08

The first week of GSM was super. Thanks for your financial and prayer support. A great group of hungry and eager students. Very encouraging feedback from the students. Many said they will promote the courses with pastor friends. After the GSM week we went to Jeffrey's Bay where we just had a great week end conference. Philip and Trenie K, a business man who has a heart for God and is excited about ministry were present from Sassleburg (sic) and we spent some time with them yesterday afternoon. They and others who were there brought up an idea that merits consideration (will describe later in this Email). We are staying in their beach house. Enjoying it immensely. A beautiful place, almost as nice as Capetown. International surf board championships are held in front of our house. As I write Carol is speaking to the ladies at a ladies conference. The ladies are excited. Good attendance at all the meetings. Packed on Sunday. Many outsiders - they had put posters up in various places and the people invited. Good feedback about the Lord's working in lives and marriages.

Here's an idea they mentioned that carries with it an exciting possibility. They are asking us to come down and do some counselor training courses in the area or to pipe it down (virtual media) by way of satellite - they say the eastern cape of South Africa gets neglected. They are going to work on seeing about the cost and the possibility of installing the virtual equipment on both ends (Pretoria and Jeffrey's Bay). If that is done it would be simple to just pipe the classes down here while they are going on in Pretoria. That would expand our outreach and impact. People from here applied for GSM last time, but were too late - classes were already filled. Met with several yesterday about the possibility of working out this arrangmenet and making it a reality. I told them that we have enough to do in Pretoria with classes and students there so that we couldn't take on any more in terms of finances and labor. They then assured me that they would do all the work - raise the money for the equipment, do the promo, do the grading of papers, etc. Leon (a former student of GSM), Wynand Fourie (pastor and graduate of TMS), Andre (Pastor and graduate of TMS) would do the work and Philip K would help in any way that he can (not the grading of course, but other aspects). Possibly and hopefully Martyn Beets one of our former students who pastors in Port Elizabeth (close by) could also help. One of the guys who met with us is into installing the virtual equipment as well as having contacts about how to get it. Philip K is really excited and looking for some way to use his time profitably since he's turned his business over to his son-in-law. He says he wants to serve and helping this to become a reality may give him some meaningful things to do. He wants to get involved. The boss of the man who has expertise in the area of facililitating satellite equipment was at the conference we presented. As soon as he heard about the satellite possibility, he came to see us and is really excited. He sees it as an opportunity to use his skills for ministry. Perhaps the Lord is putting a team together for this endeavor. If He is, we'll trust Him about the finances. The personnell seems to be in place. PTL for all of this. We're much in prayer. Hope you will be also. To have this satellite program will cost a considerable amount of money for the equipment, but will broaden our impact tremendously. Hypothetically, we could reach all of Africa without leaving Pretoria If we could do this in the Jeffrey's Bay area, we could do the same in other areas of Africa as well. Wow, the possibility excites me.

Warmly in Christ,

Wayne

Claxton Update

Some great news from the Claxtons below. Also, you can read their blog here.

Getting off the plane again in Kiev was very different this time. There was no feeling of panic, we understood about 40% of what we were hearing as we stepped into the airport and the people looked, well like people rather than foreigners. Most of all we knew we had a home full of our own things to recover from the jetlag! It was stocked full of groceries, toys and starbucks coffee (Thanks to the BCLR youth group)! We were excited to see Kiev friends that we missed and a had new resolve to work hard on the Russian Language. It was actually surprising that we felt so comfortable in what seemed like such a strange place just a year ago.

This year is different in that we are adding 7 conferences to make total of 13. Our conference cities are Kiev, Lviv, Chigarene, Simferopal, Odessa, Rovno, Zhitomar, Vinnitsa, Donetsk, Ternopil, Novgorod, Cherkassy and Uzhgorod. We are very excited about how hard our Ukrainian volunteers are working to bring their fellow countrymen to the conference and minister to them in the name of the Lord. They are so excited to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and to reveal God's plan for marriage and family. Their passion is both inspiring and humbling. The Kiev conference is October 25, we are thankful for a full house of 140 couples, many unbelievers. Pray for our Ukrainian Speakers Alex and Lena Travnikov and Vitaly and Johna Borody. Also pray for our American co-workers Scott and Cymp Stemple who will be presenting the gospel to the conferees. We are so excited to see what God will do this year!

Also we are hoping to become involved in a church that is beginning in Kiev. We are trusting the Lord that we will be able to serve in a Ukrainian church without translation so that we can come alongside another American family to plant a Bible centered, expository preaching church. Serving in and modeling a life built around Christ and His Church is one of the reasons we moved here so we are very excited about this opportunity and may be letting you know how you can help this church to grow and prosper here in Kiev. Pray for us as we take this exciting step!

We had a wonderful time seeing you all in America. We were able to see our families and church family, it was so encouraging! We were able to stock up on medicines, syrup and peanut butter! We feel much better! We were able to go to Chicago and meet Carra's wonderful friends at Moody. We couldn't ask for a more godly group of girls to encourage and help Carra while we are out of the country. We even attended some classes and were very impressed with her professors and Biblical training. God is so good to us! Pray for Carra as she had mono this summer and hopefully is recovering rather than relapsing. Also she is a Junior this year majoring in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, and has to do an internship teaching English in a foreign country this summer. Pray the Lord will guide her as she makes these preparations.

Spencer is having a great school year in 11th grade, taking a very tough schedule of honors classes and studying for the SAT and ACT. Pray as he begins to make college decisions. We are grateful God has provided a wonderful group of friends for him who are seeking to grow together in the Lord while having alot of fun! One thing we love about his school is the emphasis on service to Ukrainians, pray he will continue to be servant hearted during these projects and have an attitude pleasing to the Lord.

Finally our homeschool year has started off wonderfully since we haven't had to move this year!!!! Yay!!! Miraculously everyone is on grade level and doing well after the doubling up and summer school we had last year in the midst of chaos. To God be the glory great things he has done! Pray the children will really take off in Russian as they meet with a tutor 1 hour a day, 3 days a week. Pray we will be faithful to speak Russian together as a family and not be afraid to use what we know. We hope to make alot of friends this year both Ukrainian and American so the children will be happier to be here. Some days they love it here and others they miss their friends and family deeply. It is hard to convince them that if they lived in America they would still have to do school and chores! They remember it as a place to swim with friends and go to VBS!

The Lord is good and we see it as a privilege to serve among these wonderful people.
We love and miss you all and are so grateful for how you helped us this summer and continue to be used of the Lord to keep us serving Him here in Ukraine.

Hefner Update Sept-Oct 2008

We Hefners are homebodies. We like to stay put. Just thinking about packing and going to and fro on rugged roads and hanging out in airports makes us tired. We would much rather stay in one place – preferably home! In spite of those preferences, the months of August, September, October, and November have been and will continue to be filled with a lot of traveling – across Senegal, into Guinea, and even across the ocean to Papua New Guinea! Here’s a little peek into what the Hefners are up to…

August – At the beginning of the month Lenaya spiked a very high fever that continued for 9 days. We suspected malaria at first, and tried treating it with malaria treatments two times with two different medicines. Her fever persisted. On day 9, Lenaya still had a fever of up to 105 degrees, so we called an emergency medical flight and flew to Dakar as a family and immediately saw a doctor and had some tests run. Through wisdom given by God, the doctor prescribed a special antibiotic for Lenaya, even before the results of her tests were in! It was really neat to see the Lord so obviously watching out for her and guiding the doctor’s decisions. She was diagnosed with e-coli and we spent 2 weeks in [city] while she recovered. Many of you back home were praying for Lenaya, and for that we are incredibly grateful. We went back {home} for 2 weeks, and then…

September – Aaron flew to Papua New Guinea for a church-planting workshop. This was quite a lengthy trip (3 ½ weeks) and because of Lenaya’s recent illness we didn’t feel comfortable with Lindsay and the kids staying in the village alone. So, once again, we packed up and ventured on the rugged roads. Aaron had a wonderful time in PNG visiting different tribal works, talking with other church planters, and being taught and trained by experienced missionaries. He was greatly encouraged by seeing how the Lord is building His Church in other parts of the world. We trust that things that he has learned during his time there will be very beneficial to the entire NTM West African team. After...spending a couple of weeks at home…

October – Aaron will pack his bags yet again, this time traveling to Guinea, W. Africa (just below Senegal) along with a few other members of our NTM Senegal team. While attending a conference there, Aaron will have the opportunity to share the things that he learned while he was in PNG. This will be a shorter trip – 1 week – and after he returns we will be going back{home}…and hopefully staying put for a while!

Prayer and Praise

We are so very thankful for the Lord’s protection and healing of Lenaya. His care for our family was evident in very tangible ways – providing the right doctor, the kindness and care of our support team, health and strength for dad and mom in spite of very minimal sleep. Thank you to everyone who was praying for us during that time.

Aaron’s trip to Papua New Guinea was not only a beneficial time of learning for him, but also a time of refreshment and encouragement. We are thankful for the friends he was able to spend time with and the blessing he received through seeing first-hand the work that the Lord is doing there in PNG.

Being able to homeschool the kids is such a blessing to Lindsay. She loves watching the kids learn, and also learning along with them. It is a joy to be able to give Elijah and Lenaya an education based on the Word of God. We thank the Lord for this opportunity!

Please continue to pray for the young man who began meeting with Aaron in August to hear Bible lessons. When we return to the village (beginning of October) our desire is to continue these meetings with him and continue on until he hears the full message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. In our absence, {our co-worker} has met with him a few times (upon his request!) and gone over some of the Bible lessons. Pray for continued interest and understanding.

Pray for Lindsay’s health. She is still struggling with regular spells of unwellness. We hope to have thorough testing done when we are on furlough this next year. Please pray for strength as she continues to care for the family and do language and culture study.

Please pray for us as we seek to raise Elijah and Lenaya according to God’s Word. Pray for wisdom, consistency, patience, and humility.

As we come to the end of our first term on the field, our hearts are heavy for our friends {here}. Things are not as we desired that they might be, yet we trust in the goodness and wisdom of our great God. Please pray for the people {here}…and the other 110,000 {tribal} people of West Africa.

Walker Update 10/18/08

We had a good meeting with our supervisor this week and God answered your prayers re: direction for the future.  It looks like God is opening the door for us to be back in Papua, Indonesia next year.  Our Wycliffe leaders asked us to return and help build up 3 Indonesian Christian organizations.  Interesting how this seems to be coming together out of our contacts in August.  Our supervisor is going to Papua next week to get the ball rolling with one of these organizations.

We'll share more details as we have them.  Pls PRAY as we begin negotiating with the 3 organizations.  Getting a VISA is a big issue, too.  It's not too early to begin praying about that.

On Tue and Wed this week we met with colleagues who are eager to help missionaries on multi-cultural teams work together well.  Focus on other cultures reminded me of how prejudiced and critical I am.  So the big request:  PRAY that I can cooperate with God in the ongoing transformation of my heart.

PRAY, too, for Jean.

Central Baptist Church of Mazabuka

Bi-Weekly Prayer Report for the period 22nd Sept to 5th Oct 2008

  • ZIAH: A couple, Lewis and Karen have expressed interest to work with the students at this college of agriculture. Our ministry there has been very limited due to shortage of laborers. We would now like to introduce Lewis and Karen to the college as counselors with whom the students can freely talk to. We are planning more preaching sessions and we would also like to introduce a bookstore at the college. It might also become necessary to introduce a bus service to pick up the students for church on Sundays immediately we have a number of them expressing interest to attend church. Pray that these plans will be implemented and be blessed of the Lord. Pray that many students will be converted and grounded in the things of God and that when they are finally scattered all over the country upon graduation, they will equally become witnesses to the glorious gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
  • Women’s meeting: The monthly women’s meeting for September took place on Saturday the 27th. About 15 women attended. We have taken note that the attendance is drastically affected when the meeting is held just after pay day as many women are up and about doing there monthly buying for their homes. We looked at the topic of ‘love’ how we can identify the genuine from the counterfeit. Many women have fallen prey to the counterfeit and have ended up in questionable relationships. We compared the story of Jacob and Rachel in Genesis 29 to that of Amnon and Tamar in 2 Samuel 13. The one represents true love and the other the counterfeit. Pray that the many women who are entangled in questionable relationships will be assisted to come out of them and find peace in Christ.
  • Mr. and Mrs. Mbembela: This couple has not been to church for a while now. Visited them to try and understand their situation. The man is working awkward hours due to a critical shortage of labor at their work place. The wife, who professed faith recently, claims she’s had problems with transport since they recently moved to a place which is out of town. Looking at possible means of assisting her, including holding mid week bible studies. Pray that the Lord may grant us wisdom to know how best to assist this couple. Pray also for the husband that he also will profess faith in Christ having heard the gospel message many times before.
  • Home bible study: The mid week home bible study at Mrs. Musonda’s home has continued and we are still looking at the subject of afflictions. Having looked at how we ought to respond when we are afflicted, we are now looking at how we can assist those who are afflicted. We are drawing lessons from the accounts of Job and his three friends as well as the account of Lazarus’ death and how Christ went about comforting the sisters. Pray that this study will bear much fruit.
  • Off sick: I have struggled with a stubborn flu in the past week leading to raised temperatures and dizziness. Consequently this has also triggered high sugar levels being diabetic. Do pray for a quick recovery.

Walker Update 10/2/08

Dear Friends,

We stepped off the plane in Papua, and it looked like ‘home’, but it didn’t feel like home.  We were in our house a couple times to get some things, but someone else is renting it.  So we stayed with friends.  We only had a visa for 30 days, so we couldn’t stay.  A weird and not so wonderful feeling.

The next day we flew up to Wamena, the town in the mountains near where Heidi and family live.  We had a rich time with family, teaching, and exploring options for future service. 

For three weeks we taught the teachers and students of Netaiken College, the school  that Heidi and Scotty work with.  Over meals we got to hear some of the students’ stories.

Yani was planning to leave his home in the mountains and attend the state university on the coast.   He had four pigs ready to sell that would finance his education.  Then they all died, and his dreams were dashed.  So he went to the top of a hill for three days and prayed with fasting. When he got home he found an envelope full of money that someone had slipped under his door.  (He still doesn’t know who.)   Then his uncle, a pastor, gave him the rest of the money he needed for his first semester at Netaiken.  (This $110 just covers room and board).

Yani  is happy with the English he has learned at Netaiken.  But he said, “I’ve learned  so much more.  I have learned that Jesus carries my sins.  I can’t carry them myself.” 

We had been asked to teach on  Unity for the Netaiken staff retreat.  So for three mornings we taught parts of the Come TOGETHER through Conflict course.  PRAY that they will apply the Scriptures to the way they relate to each other, especially in the inevitable conflicts that come when working together cross-culturally.

Jean listened to Vivian, the wife of one of the leaders, who was struggling with forgiving someone who had hurt her deeply.  In the evening fellowship time she shared how she was now ready to forgive.  I know God was happy to hear that.

After the staff retreat, we took an adventure truck ride around the mountain to the campus where Heidi’s family live.  (At Disneyland in the 60’s that kind of ride cost an ‘E’ ticket. But with the baby barfing in the back seat, we should have gotten a discount.) 

First we taught the 16 Papuan students on handling conflicts.  After we talked about the need to confess our sins to God and each other, Freddy wanted to apply that principle right away.  After class, he asked me to hear his confession and pray with him.  What a privilege to listen to him and affirm God’s forgiveness!

Then 10 American EduVenture students arrived.  To help them form a learning team for the semester, we taught some ‘multicultural teaming’ modules. Papuans and Americans were paired up as roommates and study partners.  We’ve heard good reports that they are growing a lot as they live and learn together.

Before we left Papua, Netaiken and another Christian college asked us to come back and help them in the area of staff development and member care.  One leader said, “We want you to be like pastors to our teachers.”  I would love to help their teachers grow as followers of Jesus and as teachers and disciple-makers of their students.  Jean would like to come alongside staff and students to listen, pray with them and help them find greater freedom in Christ.

These relationships and experiences have touched us deeply, and we would like to go back.  Being able to spend more time with family - love those grandkids J – certainly adds to the tug on our hearts to go back to Papua.

Bouncing around Asia this year without a visa to live in Indonesia, we have been asking ourselves, “What will we do next year?”  We’ll meet with our supervisor on October 13 to consider the options together and seek God’s guidance.   These include:

1) Continue to develop courses to equip national and foreign missionaries throughout Asia.  This is something I find very satisfying and can see some of the impact we are having.  Now that Jean is teaching with me, it’s more fun than ever.

2) Jean has opportunities to expand her role in member care.  She really has a heart for coming alongside individuals. I would like to help her on the training side of this role.

3) One thing that touched our hearts is the crying need to provide quality Christian education for Papua’s young people. Serving with Netaiken has the potential to touch thousands of children’s lives for Christ across Papua. 

Many of the  Netaiken students came out of high school with only a 4th grade education.  That is typical of the education system in Papua. They learn English more easily than the ‘basic’ subjects.

One thing we did to help last month was teach 16 Netaiken teachers about ‘learning styles’.  Then they turned around and taught the new students about their learning styles and how to use them to improve their learning.  A NEW IDEA for them was, “You are your teacher.  So take responsibility for your own learning, and you will learn.” 

I am excited about the vision Netaiken has and would love to help build up their teachers.
Before we left Papua, the Netaiken director took us to a piece of land overlooking mile-high Wamena, the main town in the area.  “This is where we will build our new campus, kindergarten through college,”  he said.  “We plan to start primary schools in the villages with Netaiken alumni as teachers.”  Please PRAY for the funds they need to build this campus,  which they need in order to expand their ministry and keep their accreditation.

4) There is a big need to train Papuans to translate the Bible into their own languages.   They need ongoing training, encouragement, and a support system to be successful.  This Mother Tongue Translator approach could reach dozens of language groups with God’s Word.  Helping in this program is another possibility for us.

“Why are we asking these questions about the future?” you may be wondering.  As you recall, in February we accepted an invitation to serve in Bangladesh while we waited for our visa for Indonesia. As the months rolled by, we began to hear from our leaders that we can’t get visas like we used to. We will need to find a local organization to sponsor us in order to get a visa to live and serve in Indonesia.

The changes and uncertainty about the future have been stressful, not just for us, but for many of our colleagues. Fortunately,  our God is not changing.  And we are just beginning to see how wonderful our Daddy is.  So we praise him that our trials help us to depend on him more than ever.

Pray with us as we carry out these plans:
October -  Philippines -  teaching and meetings
November 1-18 – Bangladesh – coach the new Learning that LASTS teaching team
Nov 19-23: LA -  visiting friends
Nov 24- end of Jan – AZ – preparing training materials and enjoying family.

Then back to Asia as the Lord directs.

Thanks for standing with us as we learn to hang on tight to God’s promises.  This summer marks 35 years with Wycliffe, and we are so thankful for all of you.  Amazingly some of you have stood with us for most of those 35 years. 

Blessings,

Roland (and for Jeannie, too)

IFO Update - 10/3/08

BCLR Family --- I thought you might like this!
But first, I want to thank my sweet BCLR family for all your kindness and “overwhelming generosity” shown during the IFO picnic.  You guys amaze me.  There are few people who know how to serve like you do.  One of the many blessings that I personally have is my “extended church family”.  Thank you for loving me, and serving with me, to reach the world for Christ --- as the world comes to Little Rock.

Okay, I wanted to share this with you.  I’ve been thinking about it all week and thought I should pass it on to you.
Last week I used a statement from Barry’s Wingfield’s sermon (one of my Cornerstone pastors) at Conversation Club on Monday night.
Barry quoted a Gallop Poll about American being the loneliness people in the world.
I wrote it into a question to be discussed with the internationals on Monday night.

Question:
A Gallop Poll said that Americans are the loneliest people in the world.
Americans…Do you feel this is true?  Why or why not? 
Internationals….What about your country?  Do you feel that people within you your culture are generally lonely?   Why or why not?

One of the Iraqi’s answered:
In Iraq, each home is responsible for this neighbors…7 houses to the right of him and 7 houses to the left, WHATEVER THE NEED! In doing so, each family is cared for by another.  Therefore, loneliness is not a problem in Iraq.

Now that’s practicing “loving your neighbor as yourself”!  I don’t know about you, but I want to practice what I preach!!!

One more thing: 
We have 2 more weeks of Conversation Club this semester.  We meet on Monday nights, 6Pm at MetroBCM on the UALR campus.  We would love for you to join us.  We would love for you to come, eat, and join in some good discussions.  Here are the discussion questions for this week.  Come if you can.

Conversation Questions:

Tell us about one of the best decisions you’ve made in your life.
Talk about something that you would like to pass down to the next generation.
Talk about something that recently made you happy.
If you had one month to do anything you wanted to do, and cost wouldn’t be a factor, what would you do?
What do you do when you need to relax?
What activity makes you feel the most alive?
Tell about a change that brought a new chapter in your life.
Can you name one way that people from different cultures can understand and respect each other better?
Most Americans know something about the 10 Commandments from the Bible.

Most Americans, however, cannot tell you what they are.  Look over the list below and for discussion…..Share some of your thoughts?
(Remember, Cclub guidelines allow you to pass on questions that are uncomfortable----no problem).
 
10 Commandments, Exodus Chapter 20 --- God’s Standards

1.  You shall have no other gods before Me.
2.  You shall not make for yourself a carved image-any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
3.  You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.
4.  Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5.  Honor your father and your mother.
6.  You shall not murder.
7.  You shall not commit adultery.
8.  You shall not steal.
9.  You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10.  You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.  


Serving them for Him – with you,
LaJuana
