A Christmas Question
a true account
by Sylvia Foulds

The old men of Kunsock congregated under the shade of a large mango tree. A
brisk harmattan wind whistled through the branches and whipped up little
eddies of dust around their feet but no one seemed to notice. Several men
were talking at the same time in an animated discussion. Suddenly the oldest
man in the village raised his voice and there was silence. "It's just not
possible for a woman to have a child without having known a man. Just who
was the father of this child?"

Before Togolese translators Joel and Caleb had time to reply, several others
said, "Why, God, of course. Haven't we just heard that the child will be
called the Son of God? And didn't the angel say that nothing is impossible
with God?"

The discussion raged on.

The translators were testing chapter 1 of Luke's Gospel in Moba, a language
of northern Togo. None of those who come to the testing sessions at Kunsock
are Christians. And though there are some Christians in this village, there
is no church. But, even if there were a church, it is unlikely that any of
these village elders would darken its doors. Testing sessions provide a
unique opportunity for these men to hear for themselves-in a non-threatening
way-what the Word of God says.

The discussion doesn't end once the testing is completed.

Last week after one of the sessions, a woman approached Joel to ask whether
women were allowed to come too. She often heard the men talking about what
they had discussed at the meeting and it sounded so interesting. Could she?

The old men take these sessions very seriously. The Word of God is indeed
powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword. Pray for translators to be
sensitive to the Spirit of God. They need to answer questions that
inevitably arise when what is heard from God's Word challenges Moba
traditional worldview and beliefs.

One of these beliefs concerns God's attitude towards his creation. The Moba
believe that God created the world. But because man is so small in
comparison to God, he cannot influence God's decisions or choices concerning
present or future events. Needs and problems are solved by consulting the
ancestors or using occult power, but never by asking God.

A couple of weeks ago one of the old men didn't turn up for the testing
session. "He's ill," they told the translators.

"Would you like us to pray that God would heal him so that he can come to
the next session?" asked Joel. Bemused, the men agreed. Joel prayed in Moba
talking to God as his Father and mentioning His care for this sick man. The
men, flabbergasted, had never heard anyone talk to God in such a personal
way. Unanimous that this was a good thing, they asked, "Would you pray for
us each time you come?"

And just how did the discussion on the virgin birth end? The old men pointed
out to their senior that God created the first man and woman by a miracle.
So why would it be difficult for Him to cause Jesus to be conceived
miraculously?

He refused to accept it. Keenly aware of the issues involved, however, he
threw out this challenge: "Do you realize, that if you really believe this,
you will have to become Christians?"

Sylvia Foulds from the United Kingdom, and other team members, work in the
Moba language on the northern border of Togo, West Africa.

Prayer Parnters update 12/23/04

Dear Prayer Partners,

If I had one word to describe this year in my ministry and my walk with the
Lord it would be grace. Yes, Christmas is a time to reflect on God's Grace to send the baby Jesus. However, I hope New Year's Eve is a time of personal reflection on how God's
Grace entered into your life this year. We ask for His will in 2005.

This year gave me many stories of blessings. Therefore, here is one:

The JAARS message center received a call from Samaritan's Purse asking for
more volunteers. A group of us sensed the call to go for the day. The message said, "The warehouse STILL needs more help going through boxes, they won't be able to finish tonight."
The Charlotte Processing Center for Operation Christmas Child is one of six
major warehouses for the ministry. We walked in and were awe-struck by this huge place filled with shoeboxes. The information board said they had packed and processed over 1.55 million
shoeboxes. They had expected to do over 1.7 million by the end of the day. Every shoebox touched I thought I was part of serving a child somewhere. We finished well. When leaving to the parking lot we saw an overseas shipping container filled with cardboard boxes of the prepared shoeboxes. Wow, what blessing to participate in this Christmas Joy!

Please pray for these shoeboxes.
http://www.samaritanspurse.org/index.asp?section=Operation+Christmas+Child
I heard second-hand that estimates are they processed 1.8 million shoeboxes.

Prayer Partners update 10/11/04 s

Dear Prayer Partners,

 

At the beginning of last summer, I said I would volunteer at JAARS for the summer then seek the Lord for the next step.  Now my venture of faith requires a new level of commitment.  My plan is to apply for membership with Wycliffe Bible Translators next summer.  I see a ministry opportunity to continue as a volunteer at JAARS until that time.

 

I am led to ask for your direct support with this ministry opportunity and to become a partner in it.  If the Lord leads you, then please send your contributions to my home church, Calvary Chapel of Hammonton, NJ.  This arrangement has been set up with the church if you could designate the checks to the ministry of Dan King.

 

In addition, I am also led to present to my donors my immediate expense needs.  I accidentally ran over my eyeglasses.  Estimated replacement costs and the exam is $320.  My counseling agency is asking for a $65 donation per session.  I estimate a need for 16 more sessions.  My auto repairs are forcing me to seriously consider replacing my car.   My brother has offered to assist me; however, I do foresee some expenses.  

 

Next week I will be updating you with my assigned project at JAARS.

 

Blessings,

Daniel K. “Dan” King

Pray request for my Dad, brother and nephew in Palm Beach County (jm/s)

Pray request for my Dad, brother and nephew in Palm Beach County.

I can only assume that everything is ok.

My nephew Steven in New Jersey gave me this update at 3PM.

He heard from his Dad about 2PM.

He said they are all safe.

They had evacuated to the main land and stay with friends the night before.

They attempted to re-enter Palm Beach Island today, but the police did not allow it due concerns about looting.

The inference was they meant only my brother and my nephew.

I have not connected with my Dad yet.

He lost power at 7:30PM last night.

He does not have a cell phone and only cordless phones in his house.

My last attempt to call his house did not go through, all systems were down.

The aftermath of Hurricane Frances could be of concern.

Churches with squirrels

There were three churches in a small town: the Presbyterian Church, the Methodist Church and the Catholic Church. Each church was overrun by pesky squirrels.

One day, the Presbyterian Church called a meeting of the Session to decide what to do about the squirrels. After much prayer and consideration they determined that the squirrels were predestined to be there and they shouldn't interfere with God's divine will.

The Methodists formed a committee to decide the action to take. They decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God's creations. So, they humanely trapped the squirrels and set them free a few miles outside of town. Three days later, the squirrels were back
It was only the Catholics who were able to come up with the best and most effective solution. They baptized the squirrels and registered them as members of the church. Now they only see them on Christmas and Easter.
