A Word From Steve Jones
December 10th, 2018
Some of us may over-eat this Christmas…some of us will remember the 1970s ad: "I can't believe I ate the whole thing!"
In the story of "Babette's Feast" we discover a beautiful parable of the wonders of Christmas. It was written by Danish writer, Karen Blixem who spent 1914-1931 in British East Africa (Kenya) farming a coffee plantation. She is best known for her book, "Out of Africa", which was made into the 1985 film, "Out of Africa" starring Meryl Streep and Robert Redford. She returned to Denmark and began writing under the pseudonym, Isak Dinesen and wrote, "Babette's Feast". I watched the film adaptation a few years back and was deeply drawn into this parable of God's wondrous grace at Christmas.
This is a longer blog than normal, but let me tell you the story:
The story is set in an impoverished fishing village off the coat of Norway. The movie locates it in a coastal village in Denmark. The streets are muddy, the roofs are thatched, the village is poor, and the people follow an elderly white-bearded austere Lutheran pastor. The villagers of Norre Vosburg renounce all worldly things, and so they wear black clothing and eat a steady diet of boiled cod and a gruel made of boiled bread and ale.
They met on the Sabbath and sang songs of the "New Jerusalem", while enduring, even tolerating their life on this earth. The old pastor had two beautiful daughters named Martine (named after the great Reformer, Martin Luther) and a younger daughter named Philipa (named after Luther's brilliant disciple, Philip Melonchton). The villagers used to attend church just to feast their eyes on these two radiant beauties.
One day a dashing young cavalry officer saw Martine and he wanted to marry her, but she resisted his advances, for she only wanted to care for her aging father. The cavalry officer later married a young aristocrat.
On another occasion the greatest opera singer of the day, a Frenchman named Achille Papin, heard Philipa singing one day and wanted her to come to Paris with him to make her a star. She and her father refused the offer and Papin left dejected.
Fifteen years passed. The old pastor is dead and the two sisters are still unmarried and have attempted to carry on their father's harsh and austere mission. The little church had splintered due to conflict, and only a few still attend the Sabbath worship services, while the two sisters continue to boil bread for the toothless elders of their church.
One night during a terrible storm the two sisters heard a knock at their door. A woman collapsed at their doorway exhausted, speaking no Danish. She had escaped from Paris during the Civil War. Friends and family had been killed. All she had was a note from the opera singer asking them to kindly take her in. The note said: "Babette can cook."
They took her in and Babette becomes their cook and housekeeper, and for 12 more years she boils cod and makes gruel for this devout group of Lutheran followers. No one ever talked to Babette of her past life. It came as a great surprise to Martine and Philipa when Babette received her first letter from Paris after living with them for 12 years. Apparently, one of Babette's friends had continued to purchase her a lottery ticket each year and she had finally won. She had won a windfall of 10,000 francs.
The two women thought Babette would leave them, but much to their surprise she did not.
They had been talking about a celebration to commemorate their father's 100th anniversary of his birth when Babette's letter arrived.
Babette requested she be allowed to make the meal for the celebration party. She had never asked a favour in 12 years…now she pleaded.
The two women agreed, but it was secretly agreed among their little religious order that no one would comment or gain pleasure from the meal Babette would create.
One might imagine that a steady diet of boiled cod and gruel would have killed their taste buds anyway.
Babette ordered the groceries and many exotic delicacies arrived.
Amazing sights never seen in this austere village were seen. Work men pushed wheel barrows loaded with crates full of small birds, a cow's head, truffles, pheasants, other strange creatures, even a huge, live tortoise snaking its head around as it was carried into the kitchen.
On the snowy evening of December 15 the party began! They sat down to a table full of china, silver ware, candles and evergreens. Even the dashing cavalry officer, now a general and over 30 years older, was there. While the villagers tasted these strange dishes one after another they never said a word nor changed their grimed-faced expressions. Babette wondered why they were not enjoying it!
The General, on the other hand, was overcome by the culinary wonders and explosive tastes that passed his lips. He raved about the meal over and over again during the feast. But, something began to happen. The villagers began to enjoy the wondrous feast placed before them. Undeserving of so great a gift lavished before them, they began to warm up to the occasion.
Their blood warmed, their tongues loosened, and they began to speak of the old days. Two brothers confessed to one another and were reconciled. Two women who had not spoken to one another for 10 years began smiling and talked to each other. One little lady burped and a brother next to her yelled: "Hallelujah!" They all laughed…this had not happened in years!
Heady with the moment, overwhelmed by the wondrous gift of the sumptuous meal the General rose to make a speech.
The story ends with old parishioners holding hands around the village fountain and singing lovely songs of their faith. It is really a COMMUNION scene of rejoicing in God's goodness and grace.
Babette's feast had opened the gate, but grace had strolled in among a grim-faced group for the first time in years.
The AUTHOR writes: "They felt [for the first time] as if they had indeed had their sins washed white as wool."
The final scene takes place in the kitchen. Babette sits among pots, pans, carcasses, bones, grease, empty bottles and vegetable trimming. She looks as exhausted as she had 12 years previous on the night she arrived in the storm. She is completely spent looking as exhausted as Jesus might have looked while hanging on His cross. Martine and Philipa complement her on the meal and say they will greatly miss her when she returns to Paris. Babette looks at them and says she doesn't plan to return to Paris, for she has spent the full 10,000 francs on the meal they had just eaten. The women are immediately jolted by the news of the cost. They had done nothing but let Babette live with them and be the housekeeper and cook, their servant in effect. And now she lavishes this undeserved gift on them!
The cod and the gruel eaters are just beginning to understand the riches of turtle soup and pheasant under glass.
Isak Dinesen
How much is your congregation worth in services to your community? Have you ever thought about that? You should.
A Senate Committee has been studying Canada's Charity Sector since January 2018. They are to give their report sometime this month. The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada has mentioned that every Western nation that has done a similar study comes back with significant suggested changes to how government treats charities and religious places of worship.
Churches paying property tax, donors not receiving annual receipts, clergy losing their house allowance benefit, and much more is being considered.
Currently, the Church in Canada has very little quantifiable data that indicates the real added-value our churches have on our communities. We know this is true, but the hard data is very scanty. The Town Council, in each of our cities, need to hear how our churches make a significant socio-economic impact on the community. If they choose to tax churches, impeding them from continuing to offer helpful ministries in the community, what would it cost the city to offer these same services. Sometimes money does talk…loudly.
The Halo Project
Our Fellowship has embarked on a study to discover the socio-economic impact the average Fellowship church has on its community.
Halo Canada will be conducting surveys this Autumn with some of our churches across Canada. A cross section of diverging churches have been chosen by our five Regions including city, suburban, and rural churches along with small, medium, and large churches. The objective is to discover our "Halo project" on a community.
Recent Halo Projects in Canada
In a recent Toronto Halo project of just ten congregations, it was discovered they offered the equivalent of $45.4 million dollars of services to their communities in one year.
In a Halo Canada Project where 30 congregations were studied, it was discovered they offered the equivalent of $69.8 million dollars of services or an average Halo effect of $2.3 on each community. In this study the median attendance of each congregation was 100 with a total of 12,535 worshippers attending these congregations. CLICK HERE if you want to read more about the benefits of Halo project Study.
The Fellowship's HALO Project
Sphere Research conducted a brief study of the Halo effect of the average Fellowship Church in June 2018. We discovered, using CRA data collected from 420 Fellowship Churches, that our national Halo estimate totals of $417,300,000 (urban: $379.2 million and rural: $38.1 million).
We decided to go deeper by conducting a controlled study to the socio-economic benefit our faith communities (churches) are making on Canada. This will become quantifiable evidence for the federal, provincial, and municipal governments as they make decisions concerning the charitable sector in Canada. Our Fellowship Halo Project should be complete in the spring of 2019.
Our Halo researcher mentioned that the average property tax bill on the average congregation in Canada could be in the range of $150,000 per annum. This would adversely affect many of our churches in offering many ministries to their communities. For some congregations, it would close their doors for good.
The times are changing! Let's never get distracted from accomplishing our primary mission (making disciples). However, we need to address the society we live in and its growing Christian- amnesia. Civic authorities need evidence, hard data, that the church in Canada is making a huge impact on our communities. Last year the Halo effect of the charitable/church sector in Canada was $17.7 billion in socio-economic benefit. That is equivalent to 1.1% of Canada's GDP. Next to the federal government, religious institutions are the largest land holders in Canada at $16.7 billion with $4.2 billion revenue raised through donations.
Charities and churches make a massive impact in Canada. Our politicians need to hear about the good deeds that happen daily without using a single tax dollar from government coffers. The Fellowships Halo Project will be a tool to help communicate this truth.
Have a blessed Week,
Steve Jones
Steve here… Our Fellowship family have historically recognized three Theological institutions in our 60+ year history:
They have served our churches well for decades training our future pastors, missionaries, church planters, chaplains, along with church staff and leaders.
Much ink has been spilled in recent years on how best to train these leaders and the transitions theological institutions must consider. I have had the joy of watching our school, Northwest, attempt a grand experiment which is currently bearing "much fruit". I recall the day I sat down with President, Kent Anderson, who shared what he, our Fellowship Pacific Regional Director, David Horita, and others were planning. An approach to theological education that was church-centric and competency-based. That was seven years ago … much has happened since then.
The Immerse Story at Northwest
President Kent Anderson told the Immerse story in this past year in Northwest's publication. He shares the recent positive recognition that Association of Theological Schools (ATS) (the accrediting body) indicated toward the Immerse experiment.
Kent Anderson, President of Northwest Baptist Seminary
I thought it deserved a broader audience, and so, the following is part of Dr. Kent Anderson's article:
Northwest exists to serve our churches. Nothing drives us like our passion to be helpful to the churches God has called us to serve.
For that reason, it was deeply encouraging to be invited to participate in a recent ATS conference in Orlando, Florida on churches and their denominational contexts. Seminaries were invited to participate for free as long as they brought their seminary president, their board chairperson, and their denominational leader. It was our particular honour to be asked in addition to bring a "case story" – essentially an invitation to tell the story of Northwest's relationship to Fellowship Pacific. David Horita, Dennis Wasyliw, and myself were pleased to agree.
There were three case studies presented. The first was from a network of mainline denominational schools, describing profound administrative malfunction. The second was from a large Eastern Orthodox seminary that had experienced years of public scandal in its relationship with its churches. Clearly our story was going to have a different tone.
When we were introduced toward the end of the meetings, it was suggested that the conference organizers wanted to leave the crowd with a positive story. "We want to leave you with a hopeful instance of a school that has got it right with its relationship with its churches." After an introduction like that it was pretty cool for David, Dennis, and me to stand up and tell our story.
It is significant to me that when the Association of Theological Schools looked across North America in search of a school that has done well in serving its churches, that they identified Northwest. Of all the accomplishments that we could speak of in recent years, I am most pleased by this. We can do more – and we will – but I am encouraged by this affirmation that we are on the correct course.
What was it that ATS observed in us that would cause them to single us out for excellence in servicing our churches?
Obviously, the Immerse program caught their attention, but it was the origin story of the program that impressed them most. Most seminaries understand their need to serve churches, but Northwest took that interest to another level. We determined that if we really wanted to be effective in serving churches, we would have to do this with our churches. We knew that it would not be good enough for us to simply tell the churches why we knew best what was good for them. We would have to actually listen to the churches and work collaboratively to design something that everyone could own with equal levels of commitment.
This meant that we had to let go of some things. We could not control the outcome if we truly wanted to achieve something different than what we had offered in the past. The seminary institution had to matter less to us than the value of the church. Seminaries have always seen themselves as service organizations – committed first and foremost to the church, and we had been no exception. Yet this kind of commitment proved easier to affirm than to practice.
The development of Immerse required months of deep dialogue with Fellowship and pastoral leaders. It was not going to be enough for the faculty to tell the church what outcomes mattered. These things had to be mutually discerned. The conversation was sometimes painful as we listened to one another, inching toward an eventual shaping of a set of outcomes that everyone could affirm and pursue with passion.
Dr. Kent Anderson
President, Northwest
The results over the past couple of years have been encouraging. Students studying in Immerse's church/competency-based theological education model are graduating students that walk the stage who are already involved in long-term pastoral placements within our Fellowship churches. This is the strength of school and Region working in close collaboration.
Immerse is Spreading
Over the past of couple years our theological school in Quebec, SEMBEQ, formed a partnership with Northwest to begin their own iteration of Immerse among our French-speaking churches and students.
Fellowship International, our own mission, has also formed a partnership with Immerse with our first two students, preparing for missionary service to Japan and Pakistan. Let me introduce you to:
Adam Pietrantonio, appointed for service in Japan.
Kevin and Micaela Miller, appointed for service to Pakistan
Fellowship International has also adopted Immerse among the churches we work with in Colombia and there are hopeful plans to see Immerse established with our missionaries serving in Lebanon.
The power of a dream given life via collaborative partnership which results in multiplication. To God be the glory!
Have a blessed week,
Steve Jones
-The Parable of the Three Trees
Have you ever heard of the "Parable of the Three Trees"?
Once upon a time, three young trees were planted close to one another. They matured together, sharing sunshine, minerals and water. They shared their dreams and aspirations with one another.
They all aspired to become huge and live for hundreds of years. There is a sequoia redwood tree in Northern California called "the president" that is close to 300 feet tall. Its trunk is 27 feet in diameter, and it's 3200 years old. Another redwood close by, named "General Sherman", is even larger.
The three trees continued to dream big dreams about the impact each would make in the forest. But one day a lumberjack cut all three trees down before they could make the impact they had aspired to.
One was carved into a feeding trough, the other into a boat bench, and the third into a cross beam. They were disappointed. They had become such ordinary things that would make no significant or discernable impact in their world. They got depressed.
But soon after that, they discovered why they had been formed into these ordinary objects. Each would be of service to a carpenter — a carpenter who would be their master. The feeding trough would become a manger in which the Christ child would lay. The boat bench would become a pulpit for Jesus to preach atop, while in a boat, for the thousands who heard the beatitudes. And the cross beam became the beam that our Saviour would be nailed to in order to redeem all humanity.
These three trees never imagined their aspirations for greatness would turn out this way. Their disappointment turned to joy.
As we mature as followers of Christ, often we need to let go of our dreams, goals, values, priorities, and desires — our spiritual maturity is dependent on it.
We strive to be a treasure chest, full of jewels, money and riches. But God is calling us to be a feeding trough full of nourishment to satisfy the soul of those seeking Jesus.
We set our sights on attaining the heights of the mast of a great sailing ship, to be noticed for miles around. But God calls us to the lowly service of a service bench that people can lean on. They never notice the bench, but they always appreciate that it's there.
Don't make the mistake of thinking that greatness is found in worldly significance. The three trees found importance in ways they had never imagined.
Greatness is found in lowliness. In fact, God tells us that He opposes the proud. Significance is discovered in humility.
This is the way of the cross. Embrace the Lordship of Christ in your life.
What dream, value, misplaced priority, or goal is hindering your walk towards Christ-likeness? Let the Great Carpenter carve your offering into something even greater than you aspire to. He loves to use ordinary objects to do extraordinary things!
Have a blessed week,
Steve Jones
Pray for FNC2018: What's a DMM?
Our Fellowship family is celebrating at FNC2018! Our Fellowship National Conference (FNC) is happening early this week in Richmond, BC…very close to beautiful Vancouver.
Our conference title is: "Saturate your World" and the theme is discipleship!
Our two keynote speakers will be addressing the discipleship need in churches today. Jeff Vanderstelt will be talking about establishing missional communities in our churches that reach out to our community. Paul Watson will be sharing the principles necessary to create a disciple-making movement from his book, "Contagious Disciple Making".
I have been praying for months that this FNC will make a spiritual impact on our leaders.
Fellowship International adopts DMM model
Two years ago our Fellowship International department made an important decision. They would shift from seeking to establish church planting movements in specific regions of the nations we served, to establishing disciple-making movements (DMM) in these same nations where our missionaries live and minister.
This does not mean our missionaries no longer plant churches. Their primary focus will be to establish disciples who make disciples who collectively become local churches.
This past August most of our Fellowship International missionaries gathered in Poland for a week to receive further training on DMMs by their director, David Marttunen. I was there too. It was an inspiring time with our mission's personnel leaving with a new approach / model to win many to Christ.
Fellowship International - Poland Summit 2018
A Testimony
One of our missionary couples serving in Spain are especially excited by the early results that occurred among their seekers and young believers by adopting the DMM principles. Here is a brief testimony:
We praise God for the things we're learning about the work of disciple-making. Our task (and yours) is to make disciples who will make disciples. For us, this means teaching pre-believers what they will need to know to become obedient disciples of Christ when they allow Jesus to be their King. It also means equipping our group of believers to do the same and allowing God to establish His church. In preparation for our Summit in Poland with other Fellowship International personnel, we were asked to read Contagious Disciple Making by Watson and Watson, and Spent Matches by Roy Moran. We decided to put into practice one of the lessons we learned. During the three gatherings of our group before we left to go to Poland, we used the simple question outline for "Discovery Groups" described in Spent Matches and our group responded very well. It's like the light finally came on, that the Great Commission is their mandate, too! We are anticipating that at least one new group will begin soon and be led by Salva.
We are thankful for Fellowship International's Poland Summit. We are thankful for our leadership who is encouraging all of us to take seriously Jesus' command to make disciples who are taught to obey everything He has commanded us (not just to know more stuff)(see Matthew 28:19-20). It was an inspiring and encouraging week.
Will YOU start a Disciple-Making Movement in Canada?
Can I let you in on a secret?
I invited Paul Watson and Jeff Vanderstelt to better expose our pastors and church leaders to the principles outlined in their books. How do we create disciples who automatically make disciples? The multiplication principles.
What our Fellowship International mission is exposing our "international" missions personnel to, which they are embracing, needs to be prayerfully and soberly considered by our "domestic" missionaries…namely, our pastors and local churches in Canada. Will disciple-making movements start in every Region of our needy nation in the years to come?
Pray for FNC2018. That the Spirit of God might move us to even greater effectiveness in the advancing of God's Kingdom in Canada and beyond.
Have a blessed week,
Steve Jones
There are places on this planet where there are very few followers of Jesus. Japan is one of those places. Our mission, Fellowship International, has been sending missions-personnel to Japan for decades.
Currently, Rob and Kathryn Fleming, Steve and Jacquie Willson, and Chris Evangelista are in Japan with another new appointee seeking to go after his deputation goals are met. Please pray for Adam Pietrantonio.
The Flemings in Japan
A recent prayer newsletter from Rob and Kathryn caught my eye. A couple paragraphs capture a sense of ministry in Japan and the reason why we need to keep sending Fellowship folk from our churches to Japan. I'll let the Flemings speak to this:
Kathryn and Rob Fleming
"We visited Hitachi Hope Church (this was our church plant from 1995-2005) last month. I (Rob) still go there to preach/teach once a month. The church is an average-sized Japanese church of 20-25 souls, with no pastor, as are 20% of churches in Japan. A single mom named Maiko will be baptized as soon as the big Pacific baptismal tank warms up in July. The average Japanese church has one baptism every five years or so.
"We also met with Rutsu, one of our Hitachinaka Oasis church members (our work from 2005-2014). Mrs. Fujieta followed her kids to oasis house church outreach in 2008, believed in Jesus along with her sister and children, and has continued in her journey. "She does not "go to church" as we think in the western tradition. She lives her faith, leaving for work 30 minutes early to be sure to have her Bible reading/prayer time, asking God to lead her every step of the day. Dependence on morning Buddhist idolatry has been replaced with the Bible and Jesus, and she has regular times of encouragement with another believer, where Rutsu serves as Mrs. Fujieta's mentor. That was not what we had in mind when we came to Japan 25 years ago, but it is, I think, a more natural expression of faith for Japanese than our western "go to church" expectations.
"We left behind two very different communities of faith in Jesus when we moved to Tokyo. But we continue to minister to Hitachi Hope Church and the remnants of Hitachinaka's Oasis Church.
Maiko's Baptism
A baptismal service is a big event in Japan. Japanese believers will see few believers baptized in their life-time. Our Fellowship International missionary, Rob Fleming, had the joy of baptizing Maiko this past July. He sent me her testimony which she read on the beach by the Pacific Ocean prior to being immersed. In fact, Maiko and Rob were immersed several times as the baptism occurred the day after a typhoon. The typhoon-generated waves made things a little rough.
I read Maiko's moving testimony and I thought you would love to read it. So I received permission. Please enjoy, pray for Maiko and the Hitachi Church, and give God all the glory.
Maiko's Testimony
" 'Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.' – Matthew 11:28-30
"I am Maiko, and this passage led me to believe in Christ.
"I started to believe in God right around the time when I gave birth to my daughter in Canada. At the time, my partner and I did not get along, he hurt me often, and did not help out with the pregnancy at all. I had no help because I did not have any Japanese friends and did not know God's teachings. Every day was tough and agonizing. It was about that time that an organization called, 'I'm Not Alone' reached out to me. This organization offered me used baby clothes, gave me tips on how to raise my child, and took care of me during and after my pregnancy. They also offered something similar to counselling as they would listen to my concerns. Around that time, Linda, one of the members of the organization told me about a church that was near by and gave me a Bible. Although I had been to church a few times since arriving in Canada, it was not because I believed in God, but rather because I was curious and because my friends were going.
"Although my partner and I separated after I gave birth, I constantly blamed myself saying, 'How could I have possibly chosen someone who was so helpless? Did I make a mistake giving birth? How am I going to support myself in the future?' I thought to myself, 'I am such a haphazard, stupid woman for giving birth to a baby outside of marriage.' Linda said, 'God will forgive you, even if you can't forgive yourself. Even if no one else forgives you, God will always be by your side and will forgive all of your wrongdoings. If God will forgive you, why would you need anyone else's forgiveness?' In this moment I felt God's mercy for the first time and cried. Although I had never really read the Bible deeply, I felt God's mercy. I soon began to study the Bible, and upon reading the passage mentioned above, I became a Christian. Since then, whenever I have run into problems, I always look for answers in the Bible's teachings. Through God's mercy I have gained peace, and by following God's Word, my life has completely transformed.
"Before this, if someone mentioned that they were a Christian, I would look down on them thinking, 'You actually believe in God? Why?' But now things are different. When I heard from Rob about a church in Hitachi where I lived after returning to Japan, I thought that I would go. God was present even when I was changing jobs. I had thought of quitting my previous job many times because it made me too busy, but I did not quit because I had faith that God was going to give me a sign of when I should resign. Then one day my boss decided to take maternity leave and said, 'You should probably resign now.' There could not have been a clearer sign for me, so I decided to submit my notice of resignation. I ended up applying for a new job before my resignation date and was accepted, which allowed me to transition into my current job without being unemployed. "My current work environment is wonderful. Even when I am not in control of things, my life has become much smoother as a Christian.
"There is another passage that I really like. 'Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?

The Fellowship's "Sowing the Seed" project blesses Pygmy evangelists in D. R. Congo
Last year our Fellowship celebrated the 500th Anniversary of the Protestant Reformation in a number of ways. We:
Students receiving French Bibles in Haiti
I want to thank the many donors and churches that generously gave to our "Sowing the Seed" project. I had the joy of handing out Bibles to Haitian teens and children earlier this year. It was a thrill.
Missionaries to D.R. Congo, Apollo and Lois Midigo have been able to use "Sowing the Seed" funds to give Bibles to pastors in the Goma region. Thank you. Recently, I heard another story of how our "Sowing the Seed" appeal blessed a group of Pygmy evangelists in D.R. Congo. I thought it would encourage you.
Fellowship International missionaries, Richard and Brenda Flemming, are serving the church in D.R. Congo helping them to catalyze mission mobilization and establish a disciple-making movement. This has begun among a group of new Pygmy believers. They are treated very poorly and marginalized in their own nation, but are finding hope in Christ.
I asked Richard to share what is happening:
"In August of 2016, I flew into the city of Inongo, D.R. Congo for a week of training with some 25 Pygmy 'evangelists'. These 'evangelists' were functioning as pastors, though they possessed little theological training and none had Bibles. I thought that the names of the churches they represented were odd (Church 21, Church 34, Church 65, etc.), until I discovered that the figures indicated the number of kilometers they were from the city!
"I was there to help them understand how to share the Gospel in such a way as to minimize, if not eliminate altogether, the threat that syncretism poses for listeners. In their context, syncretism would refer to the mixing or uniting of the Gospel with traditional animistic beliefs, a widespread problem in that part of the world.
"I was invited to give this training by Jacques and Rose Maylala, a Congolese pastoral couple serving with the Baptist Church in Kinshasa who for years had been helping these Pygmies. They immediately understood the value of the training and committed themselves to translate the studies into Lingala (my materials were in French).
Rose Maylala with some of the Bibles and songbooks
"This past August, Jacques and Rose returned to Inongo and spent a week with these same Pygmy 'evangelists' teaching them how to communicate (in Lingala) the beginning Bible studies of the, 'Creation to Christ' series (a part of the Firm Foundations series made available through Ethnos [formerly New Tribes Mission]), underscoring the principles combatting syncretism. There are 26 lessons in this version of the series, so lots left to translate, but Jacques and Rose are so happy to see these Pygmies receive the grounding in Scriptures they so need and want.
"However, the Pygmy 'evangelists' received more than just the training. Thanks to last year's Fellowship project, 'Sowing the Seed,' Jacque and Rose received funds that enabled them to purchase Bibles for these Pygmy 'evangelists' as well as songbooks for their churches. Now, thanks to those who participated in this project, Pygmies in the Congo are receiving sound teaching from God's Word. This is the partnership of missions at work, to God's glory!"

Keep praying for Richard and Brenda Flemming and Apollo and Lois who are serving the Lord as Fellowship International missionaries in D.R. Congo. Our current FAIR appeal, "Labour's Refuge", is seeking to raise $120,000 to build a maternal birthing clinic in a rural region in D.R. Congo. This project is a story that reaches back to the 1930s and some of our Fellowship Churches. I encourage you to CLICK HERE to find out more, watch a brief video and donate generously. What a great Christmas gift!

Revival in our Church in Chibougamau!
Quebec remains one of the toughest mission fields in North America. With only 0.8% of the seven million francophone Canadians self-identifying as evangelical Christians, it remains one of the most spiritually-needy people groups in all of the Americas.
Our churches (80) in our AÉBÉQ Region are plowing into stony, often hostile, ground.
I recently heard exciting news of a time of spiritual renewal in our most northern church in north-central Quebec. Chibougamau is not necessarily on the edge of civilization, but is definitely next door.
Our church in Chibougamau was a thriving group of believers in the 1970-80s, but, has struggled in recent years with only a very small faithful group seeking to keep the torch lit in this spiritually-dark region.
I recently heard from Pastor Jean-Phillipe Lapierre who pastors in Alma, about 300 kms south of Chibougamau, that a major spiritual break through occurred this past summer.
I'll let Jean-Phillipe tell you about it:
Last July 21st the church at Chibougamau had the joy of "celebrating" five baptisms, in collaboration with the Pentecostal church which had two more baptisms, for a total of seven baptisms. Two of the persons are brothers in their 40s, who were part of the Sunday School when they were children. Thank you Lord for your faithfulness in drawing souls to yourself after 30 years of sowing. Our brother Christian Laroche and his wife Sylvie Cauchon (Chibougamau) have (had) the joy of seeing their two sons (Patrick and André), and one of their son's children take some big steps in their faith in Jesus and take part in the life of the church.
Among these new conversions, there was a drug pusher, who was well known in Chibougamau. Another is the owner of a bar (Patrick) along with his wife. They have now put a "For Sale" sign on the bar and they want the building to be sold for some other type of business. Patrick is someone well-known in town and he has already shown that God has gifted him as an evangelist. Among the conversions that God has given him, his meat supplier confessed Jesus Christ last summer.
Recently Patrick gave his testimony at an evangelical church on the First Nations (Indian) reserve, and before some crowds (around 400 persons). He publicly asked for forgiveness for all of the pain that his bar has caused on the First Nations reserve. He exhorted the people not to go to those kinds of establishments any more. The testimony of Patrick was received with open arms in the First Nations community as an evidence of the power of God, real and true. Patrick offered a message of humility and peace, which was welcomed and used power by God. The conversions among the First Nations (people) are multiplying.
- Pray with urgency, dear brothers and sisters! Our church at Chibougamau is being visited on Sundays by the visitors that these new believers are inviting.
- Pray that God will continue to breathe upon the hearts of these new believers so that they will develop a thirst for the Word.
- Pray that the conversions will continue to multiply.
- Pray for the brothers and sisters who have the task of welcoming and accompanying these new (believers) in their early steps in the Christian life.
- Pray that that the bar will now be used for a new purpose to the glory of God. Pray for the two deacons responsible for the church (Danny St Croix and Christian Laroche).
- Pray that God will send a pastor/worker into the harvest at Chibougamau.
I invite you to share this news with many others.
In Brotherly love,
Jean-Phillipe Lapierre
Regional Co-ordinator
Please start praying for our believers in Chibougamau as they continue to reach out to friends and family in their community. And please continue praying for our churches in Quebec as they seek to advance God's Kingdom in an often difficult mission field.

Recreational use of marijuana will become legal in Canada on Wednesday, October 17. A task force was appointed in June 2016 to advise the current federal government on the framework for a new law governing marijuana use. Bill C-45 was created and passed with senate endorsement coming June 20, 2018.
Pot will hit the streets via licensed stores in a mix of private, licensed, and government-run facilities. Consumers have started to note new stores popping up for weeks. Large and small grow-ops have been created through private and public funding and the stock market is promising massive returns to those investors who buy pot-stocks.
You need to be 19 to purchase weed (18 in Quebec and Alberta), but "edibles" will not likely hit the market until 2019. Warnings will be placed on packaging especially for pregnant mothers, and where you can smoke or consume pot will be regulated. How to police that will be interesting to watch. Bill C-45 was tabled and is an attempt to give new powers to police including harsh penalties for driving under the influence. I've see MAAD advertisements seeking to get the word out on driving under the influence. Police are still waiting for approval from Ottawa for devices that can be used to administer road side screening.
How Should Christian Canadians Respond?
What are Christians to think and do about Bill C-45 and the legalized recreational use of marijuana on the streets, parks, and public places of our cities and towns?
There is a lot of peer-reviewed studies on the use and effects of pot on human beings. There is a mix of reviews on the risks associated with this drug. Many Canadians are already legally using marijuana for medical purposes. Encouraged by their doctors to ingest the drug for relief from a variety of chronic conditions including nausea associated with chemotherapy, multiple sclerosis, insomnia, HIV-AIDS, and neuropathic pain. I do not believe we should have an issue when this drug is administered by an approved medical practitioner. Your opinion may differ. Health Canada states the number of patients registered to use medical marijuana has increased from 477 in 2002 to 37,359 in 2013. After October 2017 the numbers will likely increase exponentially.
In a Faith Today article (December 2016), Allison Barron interviewed and quoted two individuals who are responding to the news of legalized pot in two different ways. I quote from Allison's article:
"Priscilla Hollands is a 39-year-old Canadian Christian, and a patient who uses marijuana medically. She says it has improved her quality of life after being diagnosed with arthritis.
"'It has helped tremendously with my pain management due to severe rheumatoid arthritis,' she says. 'As long as I have cannabis, I do not need any narcotic pain killers.'
"Hollands believes, 'We need to have an honest discussion within the Christian community and [with] our children about its benefits to those who are suffering. Sick Canadians need safe access to this life-giving plant.'
"She points to the financial difficulty of acquiring medical marijuana, and hopes for the laws to change so Canadians can grow their own.
"'I am forever grateful to God for His marvelous creation,' she said. 'The day I discovered that cannabis had so many therapeutic benefits to my chronic condition was an answer to prayers.'
"André Schutten is director of law and policy at the Association for Reformed Political Action Canada and he is not as enthusiastic as Hollands about the upcoming laws. He is concerned about the negative effects marijuana can have on users.
"'There are strong links between regular marijuana use and psychiatric illnesses such as schizophrenia,' he says. 'THC (the active ingredient in marijuana) has proven [to have] negative effects on the nerve cells in the brain where memory is formed.'
"Schutten is worried that legalizing marijuana sends the message, particularly to youth, that the drug is fine to use. 'The law is a teacher, and legalization sends the wrong message.'
"Schutten says while marijuana may have use medically, that is not what is driving the legalization. 'I know of some good Christians who use it as a pain reliever or as treatment for certain ailments on prescription. However, the vast majority of people arguing for legislation are not looking to legalization for a medicinal reason, but rather a libertine, recreational reason.'"
One fact seems to be underscored in study after study. Marijuana does affect brain development especially in users under 25. It can cause addictive behavior. On October 17, 2018, tens of thousands of teenagers and young adults can legally purchase pot and be profoundly affected by an addictive drug. Thanks to the Federal government's premise that it is impossible to police this pervasive drug, so let's tax it and make money on another societal behavior that harms young people.
In 2019 be forewarned of news stories of the rise in pot-related car accident deaths, toddlers taken to hospital after accidentally ingesting edible pot products like brownies and gummy bears, and the designated pot-smoking area on Parliament Hill for MPs and PMO staff. "O Canada, glorious and free!"
Have a blessed week,
Steve Jones
Steve Jobs on Life and Mission
Dear pastors, missionaries, chaplains and friends,
Steve here… Steve Jobs died seven years ago on October 5, 2011. Whether you like him or not, the man had a seismic impact on how we communicate with one another. I recently came across several of his best known quotes and found them interesting. I thought you'd like to read them:
On VISION
"You can't just ask customers what they want, and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new."
— Interview with Inc. magazine, 1989
On MISSION
"I'm convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance."
— Interview with the Smithsonian Institute, 1995
On FOCUS
"Design is not just what it looks like; design is how it works."
— NY Times article about the iPod, 2003
On TEAM
"My model for business is the Beatles. They were four guys that kept each other's negative tendencies in check; they balanced each other. And the total was greater than the sum of the parts."
— 60 Minutes interview, 2008
On LIFE
"Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me. Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful, that's what matters to me" [At his death his net worth was $10.2 billion].
— Wall Street Journal interview, 1993
"Stay hungry, stay foolish."
-- Stanford Commencement Address, 2005
Have a blessed week,
Steve Jones

Interview with Robert Serafino
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up on a council estate in the run-down industrial North of England. Not a happy time at all but what does not kill us makes us stronger. See my web site for more bio.
When did you first start writing?
The junior school I went to was run by a wonderful Jewish lady who was very kind to me. She encouraged me both in music and academically. The first piece I recall writing was an essay on the theory of evolution which I wrote for an exam when I was 8 years old. This created quite a stir and was featured in the local newspaper. Within four years I was influenced by a very different type of school and had become a young thug to survive.
Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
As a youngster I read book after book as an escape from my experience of childhood. These were from the local library and mostly about nature and science. By my teenage years I had gone off the rails and all I could think about was being a "tough guy" soldier. I was serving in a combat zone, at the age of 18, when an officer a few years older must have seen something in me as he gave me Richard Bach's Jonathan Livingstone Seagull. This had quite a strong effect on me as it was the first time I had come across the idea of considering the purpose of life.
What do you read for pleasure?
I am afraid I am quite sad. I read a great deal of non-fiction. I guess that started as both an escape from reality and to bolster a low self esteem by knowing all the answers. Smiles. I have enjoyed the novels of Paddy O'Brian, which cover the Napoleonic wars. A film was made of the first two, combined, under the name "Master And Commander". And I thoroughly enjoy the work of Terry Pratchett. The entire Discworld series. He has a gift for bringing out how humans work and portraying the nuances of personality types; policemen to royalty to tradesmen.
What is your e-reading device of choice?
For me it is the song not the singer so I find them all fine to use. I would rather read a full length book in a hand reader than sat at a desktop screen but I imagine that is the same for everyone.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
For nearly 550 years conventional publishers have set themselves up as the gatekeepers to the world of print and controlled what ideas found their way into general circulation. Over the last 100 years they have become less interested in ideas and more interested in sales volume driven by the increasing difficulty of making a sufficient profit for shareholders. In the last ten-plus years the volume of potential authors has become such that agents have been obliged to take on the task of rough filter to screen what manuscripts the publishers have to read. Through this evolution the situation has arisen that to reach any sort of paper publication an author must get past an overworked agent wanting to earn commission and a publisher eager to find the next mass-market success. Now we know that all mass-market successes are "one of a kind" - the new idea only works once - but the generals of the publishing world have always been fighting the last war. So finally to answer your question, The advent of independent electronic publishing means I can write what I wish as I wish to write it and allow the thinking public to decide what they make of it for themselves. I think this is a wonderful time for writers and readers alike.
What do your fans mean to you?
The only thing that matters to me is making a positive difference in the world. For this to happen a lot of people have to read what I have written. I cannot sufficiently express my gratitude to those who read my words and tell their friends. Thank you all.
Describe your desk
I work at a largish green-topped desk in a small room with the curtains permanently closed, Bright lights are hard on my eyes, being an Aspy. I know I am OCD but I love a paper-free office as It means everything is tidily filed away on the computer rather than on the dog-eared bits of paper where all my ideas used to end up.
What is your writing process?
I once read a book in which 12 authors, who had each sold over 100 million books, explained their writing process. And each was totally different. Some lock themselves away in a shed until they finish a whole book. Some write for half an hour a day, Some write for 12 hours. Some go by the word count and make sure they do X thousand words a day or week.. I find myself "gestating"a lot of the time. Perhaps because I am closer to what people call channeling than being creative. When there is a concept I "know" inside I have to write about I rough out a layout then leave it a while and do other things. Over time ideas come up with regard to the contents and details and I jot these down. When it feels like I have done this long enough I write a section. It generally all drops out ready formed and almost ready to publish at a rate of over 1,000 words an hour. Then I stop. When I "feel" ready again I sit down and write the next section. A part of my mind, my higher self, works out what I have to say, puts it in order, and I just type it out when it is ready. Anyone can do this sort of thing if they put the work in. The clearer we get of issues the better communications we get with our higher self. No mystery about it.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
I find writing hard work. Not difficult to do but draining energetically. I love HAVING written. ;-)
How do you approach cover design?
I find words much easier than pictures as a medium of expression. I would never make a graphic artist of any kind. Something of how my mind works causes me to struggle with a blank visual slate. So when it comes to designing a cover, something I consider of major importance in causing a book to be read by the right people, I go inside and wait a while. The picture just comes from somewhere. Then I find the main image on an agency site.
What book marketing techniques have been most effective for you?
Word of mouth is the only thing that matters. Everything else is priming the pump to get people talking and browsing. I am so grateful for the people who spread the word about my work.
What are you working on next?
I am gestating as fast as I can to finish the series. ;-) People are tapping their feet.
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
I love walking in the countryside and I love sailing - anything that floats fairly reliably.

Nicki Dating
by Cheryl Lakes
Nicki Minaj Is Dating Sex Offender: The Grammy nominee showed off her man on Instagram on Sunday, December 9, after celebrating her birthday with him. Many fans were quick to voice concerns about Kenneth Petty's checkered past, which prompted Minaj to disable comments on the post. According to US Weekly, Petty has been registered as a sex offender in New York state since being convicted in 1995 of first-degree attempted rape over an incident that occurred the previous year involving a 16-year-old girl. More recently, he served prison time after pleading guilty to first-degree manslaughter. According to TMZ, things are more serious than people first realized between them as the couple is already discussing marriage and babies. A source close to Nicki is reportedly revealed that Nicki is serious about Kenneth because she believes he is a good man who was falsely convicted of a very serious sex crime. Minaj defended Petty's attempted rape conviction in an Instagram comment on Monday, December 10, writing. "he was 15, she was 16….in a relationship. But go awf, Internet. Y'all can't run my life. Y'all can't even run y'all own life. Thank you boo."
Rappers Are Telling Cardi B To Take Offset Back: Cardi B and Offset were seen as a power couple for many until she could no longer stand the rumors of him cheating. "It's nobody's fault, it's just like I guess we grew out of love," Cardi said on Instagram at the time. "But, we're not together any more. It might take time to get a divorce. I'm always going to have a lot of love for him because he is my daughter's father." Yet, he maintains that he misses her. 50 Cent among others has already sprung to the rapper's defense. "That's a cute outfit, but you gotta go home," 50 wrote on one of Cardi's recent Instagram posts. "That boy love you girl!" Lil Duvall tweeted,"Life is too short to be leaving niggaz just cuz they cheated…take him back." Upon hearing of the split, many fans began to speculate it was just for publicity, but Cardi shut down those accusations pretty fast. "I just really hate how people say we trying to do this for publicity," she said during a stream on Instagram. "Think we want to put our life out there for what—what we gain from publicity? Nothing." Regardless of the split, Cardi has been doing very well for herself, as she recently grabbed five Grammy nominations. In fact, she found out about her nominations after leaving court.
Issa Rae Signs Multi-Picture Deal With Columbia Pictures: According to Variety, Issa's production company, ColorCreative, has signed a multi-picture production deal with Columbia Pictures. The deal is special because it'll allow ColorCreative to work with and back projects from diverse emerging screenwriters. Though films like Black Panther and Crazy Rich Asians are making a splash in Hollywood, a recent USC study shows that only 29.3% of characters in the 100 top grossing movies of 2017 were from under-represented racial and ethnic groups. A select group of writers will be announced in the spring of 2019 to work with Rae and her studio to develop and write features based on their original ideas. "Issa is a force of nature, and a magnet for talented people," said Sanford Panitch, president of Columbia Pictures. "We couldn't be more excited to join her in her mission to pave the way for fresh and authentic voices." Columbia, which is owned by Sony, has backed various projects with women of color leads, including the upcoming Miss Bala, an action film with a cast and crew that is 95% Latino. They're also preparing for the release of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, the animated film based on the Black Spider-Man Miles Morales voiced by Shameik Moore. Rae is most known for creating, co-writing and starring in the HBO series Insecure.
Birdman's Mansion Price Reduced: Page Six reports…After the rapper and record producer, whose given name is Bryan Williams, was evicted from his baller mansion, his personal belongings were placed in storage, and the 10-bedroom, 14-bath waterfront home went on the market for $15.5 million last month. The massive estate initially went on the market for $20 million in 2017, when Birdman's creditors began to chirp. Since then, it's been nothing but drama for the Cash Money impresario. Birdman slashed the price to $16.9 million shortly before the South Florida Business Journal reported he was facing $12 million foreclosure proceedings. The bank was ready to reclaim not only the 19,970-square-foot home, but also a 26,040-square-foot Miami office building that's home to his Hit Factory Criteria Recording Studios. From there, it got worse. According to court documents obtained by The Blast, the producer was ordered to immediately surrender possession of all keys and security system access to the compound in January. All personal items within the home—including platinum records gracing the walls, a pool table, and dozens of pairs of shoes—were all confiscated and placed in storage. According to The Blast, Birdman recently filed a claim to get his personal property back. Among the items listed in the court filing? Old stereo engineering equipment, 70-plus pairs of shoes, a box of sweatpants, and 14 sweaters. He's also requesting music awards, including a BET Award, MTV Award, and the platinum record plaques he received for recordings by Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Lil Wayne (whom he mentored) be returned.
I'm having a birthday party next month and I don't want to invite my best friend because she can't go anywhere without her obnoxious boyfriend.
by Sarah Smart
Q: Next month, I'm having a birthday party at my home and I only wish to have people there that I love and care about. But I have a problem. I cannot stand my best friend's boyfriend, and she can't go anywhere without him. He is obnoxious, vulgar and flirtatious, and I don't want him within ten feet of my door. I know if I tell her not to bring him, she won't come. And I can't imagine having the party without her. What can I do?
The Dating Chronicles
The Secret
Meryl had been listening to Jake and the stories from his "love archives" for years. She had been his friend and confidante since they were teenagers. And she'd always loved him without him knowing it. She had stood with him through two divorces, a "fatal attraction" and a six week stay in the hospital. And through it all, he had failed to see the stars in her eyes that shined only for him. The women came and went and Jake shared their shortcomings with Meryl, and she learned bit by bit what pleased him.

6 Steps To
Enjoying The
Next Party!
by M.K. Allison
At a party recently, I noticed several women sitting alone waiting for someone to notice them and give purpose to their being there. Most stared off into space, while others complained loudly that the men in the room were backward because of their failure to approach. I watched from a position of comfort as I stood in the midst of three guys I'd enticed into a debate about a controversial current event, while trying to decide who was the most interesting. MORE
Alone On The
Try These 7 Things For Fun
by Jan Pitts
So…It's Friday again…or perhaps Saturday night, and you feel sort of blue. You are not depressed or suffering a severe case of the blues. You just feel recreation listless. You don't have any real plans for the weekend, and no regular companion or date waiting in the wings to escort you out. And it has been awhile. The circus is in town, but you don't want to go. There's a winter amusement park just outside the city, but you don't have anyone who'll go with you. You wish you could afford a vacation, or you wish you had someone to explore the city with… but you don't. You're not looking forward to spending the weekend alone, but what can you do? Well, I'll tell you what I've done, and ended up having the time of my life. MORE

Dating Dilemma
Who's Going To Dinner?
by Jake Leland
I had been dating this woman for four weeks, when my friend Ed asked if I were taking her to my mother's house for the traditional family Christmas dinner. Suddenly, my head was in turmoil. We had been dating pretty heavy since we'd met and I liked her. But I wasn't ready to expose her to my family. For the last two years, in my search for the right woman, I had brought two different women under the scrutiny of my four sisters, and I wasn't about to go through that again, until I was sure of the quality of the relationship. Plus, I wasn't ready yet to have her see the intimate side of my life. MORE

Kalban believes DIDI will escape any market downturn because of its widely diversified portfolio, which is helping it stay balanced and minimises its risk profile.
"We have industrial investments, property investments and financial investments so if there is a downturn in the realty sector we hope the others will compensate us. In that respect, we are the most balanced company in the whole region. From a realty perspective, 50 per cent of our investment involves a long-term contract for Dubai Investments Park (DIP)Dubai Investments Park (DIP) with the buyers. Hence, no matter what happens in DIPDIP, our investors will pay us rent because they are bound by contractual agreements."

DIDI, with paid-up capital of Dh3.2bn, is the largest investment company listed on the UAE stock exchanges. It comprises 46 companies under six divisions - Dubai Investments Industries, M'SharieM'Sharie, Dubai Investments ParkDubai Investments ParkDubai Investments Park Development Company.
