God Resorts to Ingenious Methods

In most countries where themajority do not consider themselvesChristians, local and nationalauthorities prohibit overtevangelism with broadcasting,rallies, literature, and visitation. Inthese locations, God resorts tomethods that are more subtle andingenious.

In order to get the gospel seen,heard, and understood in hostileplaces like Afghanistan and Iraq,God orchestrates conditions anddeploys emissaries who must berespected and cannot be avoided.

In the Middle East, Balkans, andCentral Asia today, no Americanchurch representatives are moreclosely observed and deferentiallytreated than Christian Americansoldiers.

Historically, in the course oftheir daily lives, travelers,businessmen, diplomats, explorers,and soldiers have done more tospread the gospel than people sentand paid full time. Many of theApostle Paul’s most mobile andinfluential converts, through whomthe gospel spread still further, wereprobably some of the soldiers towhom he had been chained. Thatthe very first gentile believer was aRoman peacekeeping soldierdeployed to Palestine (Acts 10)highlights the strategic value oftransient vocations in God’s plan to“bless all nations.”

Charlemagne’s armies convertedpagan tribes throughout WesternEurope. Galley slaves captured inEurope evangelized Viking

Scandinavia. Marco Polo shared thegospel in the Chinese court. Thosewho followed after ChristopherColumbus reached American Indians from Canada to Argentina.As a courageous explorer, DavidLivingstone took the gospel to theinterior of the “dark continent.”William Carey, who establishedevangelical Christianity in India,maintained his presence in Calcuttaas a shoe maker. Robert Morrison,who translated the Bible intoMandarin Chinese, was a Britishdiplomat. Hudson Taylor, wholaunched the gospel into inlandChina, did so as a medical doctorand school teacher.

And the Apostle Paul, that firstgreat evangelist to the gentiles, often

supported himself and gainedrespectable community access bymaking tents (Acts 18:1-3;20:17-18, 34). As a result of thisprecedent, when vocation blossomsinto cross-cultural ministry we callit “tentmaking.”

All Christians demonstrate theirfaith within spheres of vocationalinfluence, but tentmakers do socross-culturally.

“Trading” is the foundation oftentmaking. Goods and services orexpertise get traded for things ofvalue in all cultures. The trader roleestablishes an outsider’s value.When outsiders offer somethingvaluable and receive fair exchange,both sides benefit and grow inrespect for one another. The more continued on page 2

valuable outsiders become, the moreinfluence they exert, and the moretolerance they experience. Tent-maker proficiency and professionalexcellence are not only hallmarks ofChristian integrity but result inChristian testimony among peoplewho would otherwise have none.

In the Middle East, Central Asia,and the Balkans, American soldiersare offering one of the mostvaluable commodities on the face ofthe earth – security. The Christianfaith lived by many of theseunswervingly diligent soldiers pavesthe way for unprecedented gospelministry.

Cross-cultural witness of thiskind has some noteworthyadvantages over that offered by full-time missionaries.

It enhances credibility, integrity,and respect for the outsider.

It projects the gospel into areaswhich would otherwise never see it.

It facilitates indigenousleadership of any fruits of thetentmaker’s testimony, becausethe tentmaker is not expected tobe a religious professional anddirect religious activities.

It provides financial support,reducing monetary burdens onsending and receivingcommunities.

On the other hand, tentmakingalso presents some significantchallenges.

Secular work environmentsprovide little to noencouragement and emotionalsupport for ministry endeavors.

Ministry activities by employeesmay threaten agendas andprofits (the bottom line) ofemployers. For example,overzealous soldiers couldcompromise unit and evennational security.

Effectiveness requires doubleeducation in both faith andprofession and places doubledemands upon time to pursueexcellence in both ministry andwork.

The self sufficiency inherent intentmaking breachesaccountability for ministryendeavors to ministryorganizations. For example,independently acting soldierscould unwittingly intensifypersecution experienced byindigenous believers.

Because of these risks andbenefits and due to this convergenceof divinely orchestrated events, we,as an American church, need torecruit, equip, and emotionallysupport our “army” of tentmakers.We must train them for ministryproficiency while at the same timemotivating them to professionalexcellence. We must establishnetworks for providingencouragement, advice, andaccountability. God is doingsomething totally amazing in ourday. Will we participate knowinglyand enthusiastically, or ignorantlyand reluctantly?

Spiritual Landscape M A U R I T A N I A

The latest move in taking war on terrorism to theterrorists finds soldiers being sent to Mauritania.

Mauritania bridges the “no-mans-land” betweenAfrica’s light-skinned north and dark-skinned south.It, and other isolated “bridge” countries of the WestAfrican Sahel (Mali, Niger, Chad), have become thelatest “soft spots” in which Al Qaida cells are findingrefuge.

Peoples

The majority people of Mauritania are the Moors,or Maure, for whom Mauritania is named. These aredescendants of original Berber inhabitants who,together with the descendants of their 15th centuryArab conquerors and the descendants of their blackAfrican slaves, all speak one language – HassaniArabic. It is the language of the Hassan tribe ofYemen. This dialect is very close to the classicalArabic of the Quran and quite distinct from Arabicspoken in the Mahgrib.

Roughly one third of Mauritanians live oncoveted farm land along the Senegal River. These areblack skinned people of the Tukulor, Fulbe, Wolof,Sonike, and Bambara tribes whose populationcenters lie outside of Mauritania.

A small minority are expatriates. Most areFrench, many are Korean, and the rest come fromother European and African countries. Both Frenchand Hassani Arabic are official national languages.

Religion

Mauritania’s constitution stipulates that Islam is thenational religion and Muslim law is the foundation for allcivil affairs. Muslim schools provide most of thecountry’s education. Officially, Mauritanians follow theMaliki branch of Sunni theology. Unofficially, mostMauritanians follow pre-Islamic mystical beliefsaccomodated by various Sufi cults which hold theirprimary allegiance.

There are no Bible translations and no gospelbroadcasts in Hassani Arabic. There are no churches of

native Mauritanians. Roman Catholics have the onlyrecognized church, and its members are all foreigners –mostly French. A small group of expatriate Protestantsmeets unofficially in the national capital. The lastProtestant mission agency to work officially inMauritania withdrew in 1965.

Conditions

Mauritania is one of the most impoverished nationson earth. Thirty percent of its children are malnourished.Infant mortality is 0.84%. Men usually die by the age of54, women by 57. 63% of adults are illiterate. One infour households have television.

Drought struck the region hard in the 70s. Windsdrove off top soil turning the once ranch friendly Sahelinto Sahara desert and forcing a full third of the peoplewho were nomadic herders into cities.

Race based discrimination abounds. Slavery waswidely practiced as recently as 1960, and though it wasoutlawed again in 1980, “Jim Crow” style treatmentpersists. Though over half the population is black, theseare linguistically and culturally divided. The black Moorsspeak Arabic and blend more smoothly with their formermasters. Besides their different tribal tongues, the blacksalong the Senegal River all speak French.

Assyrian Remnant Fears Extermination

Fikret Bila reports for the TurkishPress (12 Jan), “Kurdish leaders innorthern Iraq are pushing for anethnic-based federation. They areplanning a dual federation based onthe Kurds and the Arabs. The ethnicTurkmen and others would not betaken into consideration.”1

The civilian administrator in Iraq,Paul Bremer, announced howeverthat the U.S. would agree onestablishing federalism in Iraq, butbased on geographic and notdemographic, ethnic partition,although he would be happy for theKurds to control the northernregions with the exception ofKirkuk.2

Saddam Hussein’s Ba’ath regimepursued Arabization. It moved Arabsinto regions dominated by ethnicminorities in order to change thedemographics. The Kurdish claim isfor an ethnic federation and areversal of Arabization. One thingthat is not being talked about is theeffect such a situation would haveon the other minorities of northernIraq, such as the Assyrians (alsoknown as Chaldeans and Syriacs).

A Christian Remnant

According to Nineveh.com, “TheAssyrians of today are theindigenous Aramaic-speakingdescendants of the ancient Assyrianpeople.”3 They have their ownlanguage, culture and heritagewhich can be traced back at least6750 years.

Peter BetBasoo summarizesAssyrian history on the AssyrianInternational News Agency (AINA)website. He says Assyrians are “aSemitic people indigenous toMesopotamia.” He locates historicAssyria in north Mesopotamia,spanning four countries - from theEuphrates River in north-easternSyria, through the eastern corner ofTurkey, western edge of Iran, andnorthern Iraq to about 100 miles

south of Kirkuk. Theplains of Arbil andNineveh (Mosul) werethe breadbaskets of the Assyrian people.

The AssyrianChurch of the East wasfounded in 33 A.D.,and the Assyriansconverted fromAshurism to EasternChristianity in thethree centuries afterChrist. They became agreat religious empirewith a missionary movement thattook the gospel into China.

Arabs captured Mesopotamia in630 A.D. and subjugated theAssyrians to Islam.

Kurds swept into Assyria in 1261A.D. after King Salih Isma’il orderedthem to emigrate from themountains of Turkey to the Ninevehplains. Assyrians left their homesand fled to Arbil. Many lost theirlives.

When Timurlane the Mongolarrived in 1300 A.D, he found theAssyrian people traumatized anddecimated. He massacred and drovethem out further until only afraction remained.

Only a decade after the genocideof the Armenians (1915-23), theAssyrians suffered another majormassacre in Iraq during thepost-WW1 mandate period (1933).

Since Islam arrived, the theAssyrian people have faced frequentmassacres and almost continualoppression.4

Present Threat

The AINA reports that the presentKurdish proposal “to establish anethnically based autonomous areabeyond the current occupiednorthern provinces has alarmedvarious Iraqi communities includingAssyrians, Arabs, Turkmen, andYezidis.”5

Escalating fighting along ethniclines in northern Iraq causes great

concern. AINA quotes Mr.Abgar Maloul of theAssyrian DemocraticOrganization (ADO) assaying that “ethnicfederalism built on thepremise of the subjugationby one ethnic group ofother minorities is notwhat we envisioned aliberated Iraq wouldresemble. We have longstood for a free, sovereign,secular, and democraticIraq for all Iraqis.”5

Ashor Giwargis, born in Beirut in1970, does research and writes outof concern for Iraq’s AssyrianChristians. He claims, “Before thecoming of the Ba’ath regime to Iraqin1968, Assyrians constituted 65%of the population of the northernregion, and the Kurds were about15% and Arabs about 20%. . . . todaywe have some 3.2 million Assyriansin the Diaspora. The Assyrians makeup 30% of Iraqi immigrants.”

He points out, “In Iran theAssyrians were more than 150,000before the coming of Khomeni in1979, but now they are only about30,000.”

This is a situation to watch veryclosely. Christians worldwide mustmake it known that we regard thefuture and fate of our AssyrianChristian brothers and sisters as avery important issue.

Vision for Baghdad Becomes Reality

It’s a full house at The Christianand Missionary Alliance Church inBaghdad, Iraq. Regular worshipershave learned to arrive early for aseat in the crowded sanctuary,where believers and seekers arepacked together on every bench.Those who comelater stand in asemicircle around theperimeter of theroom, and theoverflow crowd spillsinto the corridor.

This is no specialevent but a weeklyservice at this vibrant Christian center.Hundreds of peoplecome to hear thegood news that Godloves them and senthis Son to die forthem.

Vision

The vision for aC&MA church in Iraqbegan during thePersian Gulf War. A Lebanese churchleader took relief teams right intoBaghdad. As a result, hundreds ofIraqis who had fled to Jordan cameto know Jesus Christ. Among themwere men who received biblicaltraining and discipleship. Today,they lead congregations of believersthroughout the Middle East. One of these pastors gave hisheart to Christ after hearing thischurch leader preach in Jordan.Later he felt called to full-timeministry and attended Bible schoolin Beirut for three years beforereturning to Baghdad.

Because of the oppression ofSaddam Hussein’s regime, the manwas unable to open an evangelicalchurch. Instead, he and his wifeoperated a nursery school where asmall group of Iraqi believers metduring the weekend.

Fulfillment

Within a week of the fall ofBaghdad last year, this church heldits first open meeting. It had only70 chairs available; many whoattended had to stand. Later, thechurch acquired a two-story facilityin central Baghdad. “We have made

the tallest cross in all Baghdad withthe name of the church underneathit along with the words ‘Jesus is thelight of the world,’” the pastor said.

Several days later, a threateningnote with the name of a localorganization was left at the church.Immediately, the pastor went to theheadquartersof this groupto talk aboutthis message.His boldnesswas rewardedby theleaders, whotold him notto worry about the note. There are plans for the Bibleschool in Beirut to open a branchcampus in Baghdad. According tothe pastor, 20 Iraqi men and women

have applied. Twenty two Iraqis arenow taking classes. Teachers fromthe school will travel to Baghdad formodules of training during atwo-week period.

Problems

Unexpected problems havesurfaced. “Many church groups are

coming to Baghdad,and they want to starttheir own churches,”the Lebanon leader said.“Because they neitherhave followers nor anyidea where to start,they are running afterthe people I have taughtfor 12 years.” So farfour families have left.

One group offeredthe C&MA pastorthousands of dollars ifhe would let themclaim the work he isdoing. “We realize thereis a harvest field here.Please pray that theLord will give uswisdom to know howto deal with othergroups.”

Pressing On

A spirit of unity seems to bebreaking out among evangelicals inBaghdad. After the open-airordination service of an Alliancepastor, a C&MA minister (who hadtraveled from Jordan for the event)invited leaders of the city’s

evangelicalcongregation to ameeting. Theyrecognized the needto work together inwitnessing aboutJesus and discussedthe possibility offorming an

evangelical synod. In the meantime, the C&MAchurch continues to thrive. Asmany as 500 people fill the churcheach Sunday.

Many church groups arecoming to Baghdad, . . . theyare running after the people
