China Earthquake & Burma Cyclone
Earthquake Opens a Door in
China (Mission Network News) ~ Open Doors' China Director reports
"... the church ... has many more opportunities to witness than it had
before. Prior to the earthquake, the church was rather weak. Sichuan province
has one of the smallest percentages of Christians in the country – only
one or two percent. Many Christians survived the earthquake and immediately
set about ministering to the needs of others. At their own expense, they delivered
food, water, and medicine to areas missed by government relief. Many local
people heard the Gospel and were touched by the love of Christ."

The “Religious Affections” of a Global Christian
by Ted Esler (esler.org)
"Jonathan Edwards has been called the greatest mind in evangelicalism.
His numerous writings and theological discourses have influenced generations
of Christians. What shocks me about Edwards’ legacy is that modern theologians
ignore his contribution to missionary work. Edwards was a missionary. His
theology was driven by a missionary heart. It could be argued that his greatest
writing occurred while he was a pioneering missionary among the Housatonic
Indians."
