  Ida stamped her foot. Her friends were wrong. "I will not be a missionary to India like my parents!" she retorted. "Don't any of you say I will be, because I won't -- never, ever, ever." Ida had never forgotten the faces of starving Indian children. She hated India -- it was full of horrible situations she could do nothing about. Ida Scudder was sure she would never follow in the footsteps of her medical missionary father. But when she witnessed Indian women dying because their religious beliefs didn't allow male doctors to treat them, Ida heard herself pray, "God, if You want me to, I will spend the rest of my life in India trying to help these women." Serving for nearly sixty years, Dr. Ida Scudder lived out the truth and compassion found in Christ. She pioneered a first-rate medical school and hospital, brought life-saving health care to rural people, and left an inspiring legacy that still touches missions of people each year with healing and hope.

  “Financial obedience to God’s revealed economic principles in His Word, is how we provide incontestable evidence to our claim that He is absolute MASTER and LORD of our lives. First fruits giving is a tangible indicator of our firm resolve to 'Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness'. God is not ‘first’ in our lives, unless He is also ‘first’ financially. - Randolph Barnwell The principle of first fruits is eternal in nature, having its genesis in the being of God Himself. It has been perpetually practised throughout human history as one of the most courageous acts of financial obedience, denoting complete trust in and honour of God as Provider. Randolph unpacks the underlying architecture of first fruits and answers questions like: • Are first fruits and tithes the same or distinct expressions of giving? • How are first fruits determined in our modern economy? • What is the underlying philosophy governing the principle and practise of first fruits? • What promises attend the practise of first fruits? • Is fruit fruits valid for sons of God today? • What is the interconnectivity between first fruits and the apostolic, the spirit of reformation, spiritual fathering, righteousness, honour, trust and grace? “The first fruits principle is a harbinger, a forerunner embodying eternal principles. This book systematically sets out the Scriptures and their applications for overcoming financial lack. Study the teaching with a sincere heart. By adopting them, you will find success. Those who voluntarily engage the first fruits principleswill enjoy immeasurable grace and provision.” - Thamo Naidoo Randolph Barnwell is the Senior Elder of Gate Ministries Durban Central, an apostolic-prophetic church in Durban, South Africa, and is passionate about the maturation of all people into the fullness of Christ, the facilitation of the accomplishment of the eternal purposes of God, the accurate reflection of God’s image and glory, and the reconciliation of all things in Christ. He fulfils a spiritual fathering function to his own household of faith, as well as providing spiritual oversight to a few churches globally.

  Jewish Festivals and...

  Jewish festivals hold deep spiritual, historical, and cultural significance, shaping the rhythm of Jewish life throughout the year. These celebrations serve as a connection between past and present, uniting Jewish communities across the world through shared rituals, prayers, and traditions. Each festival carries its own unique themes, but all emphasize the importance of faith, remembrance, and community. 
  The Jewish calendar follows a lunar system, which means festival dates shift each year in relation to the Gregorian calendar. Despite these variations, the observance of these holidays remains steadfast, passed down through generations as a way of preserving Jewish identity and values. Many festivals commemorate pivotal moments in Jewish history, such as the Exodus from Egypt, the rededication of the Holy Temple, and the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. Others focus on agricultural cycles, linking modern Jewish life to ancient traditions of gratitude and sustenance. 
  At the heart of every Jewish festival lies a deeper meaning beyond the rituals. Festivals often revolve around themes of renewal, redemption, and divine connection. For example, Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is a time of introspection and new beginnings, while Yom Kippur calls for atonement and spiritual purification. Passover celebrates the liberation of the Israelites from slavery, reinforcing the value of freedom and justice. Hanukkah, though a minor festival in religious significance, highlights resilience and faith through the story of the Maccabees.

  Called to Reconciliation - How...

  Outreach 2023 Recommended Resource (Social Issues) 
   
  Nationally recognized speaker and church leader Jay Augustine demonstrates that the church is called and equipped to model reconciliation, justice, diversity, and inclusion. 
   
  This book develops three uses of the term "reconciliation": salvific, social, and civil. Augustine examines the intersection of the salvific and social forms of reconciliation through an engagement with Paul's letters and uses the Black church as an exemplar to connect the concept of salvation to social and political movements that seek justice for those marginalized by racism, class structures, and unjust legal systems. He then traces the reaction to racial progress in the form of white backlash as he explores the fate of civil reconciliation from the civil rights era to the Black Lives Matter movement. 
   
  This book argues that the church's work in reconciliation can serve as a model for society at large and that secular diversity and inclusion practices can benefit the church. It offers a prophetic call to pastors, church leaders, and students to recover reconciliation as the heart of the church's message to a divided world. Foreword by William H. Willimon and afterword by Michael B. Curry.
