A Christmas Message from the BWA

A Christmas Message from the BWA  - Sacred Space, Glorious Opportunity

Washington (BWA)--Mary "gave birth to a son, her first-born. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the living-space" (Luke 2:7, NJB). What a place for God to make an appearance! Not the more commodious lodgings prepared for an apparent influx of people for a tax census, but a shelter for livestock, a stable, perhaps a simple cave with a feeding trough!  By appearing there, God invests the place with the quality of magnificence and shows us the value we must assign to any location where God makes an appearance. Heavenly glory trumps earthly pomp to make each and every place worthy of respect as a potential locus for the manifestation of the living God. A choir of angels had appeared to the shepherds who, struck by the news of the miraculous intervention in Bethlehem, traveled from the countryside nearby to the stable where the infant Jesus lay. In their vision, God had shown the shepherds that the divine one does not despise places deemed ordinary.  When they arrived at the lowly place, they came into the presence of a defenseless baby who was God incarnate. In Christ, the second Adam, lying in a manger, God came to God's own world (John 1:11) to save us from our sins (Matthew 1:21). The manifestation of the creator in a lowly place should certainly remind us of a constant challenge that is ours - the challenge to never regard any place as a location unworthy of a divine epiphany and therefore to be despised and considered out of bounds for those who worship God. We may discover that God is often found in unexpected places. Additionally, wherever and in whatever form God makes an appearance, we must respond by offering service in honor of the one whom we adore. On the streets of our cities, in our urban slums and rural outposts, in mansions on hillsides and hovels on riverbanks, in forbidding places swept by desert winds and on fertile farmland rich with grain, God may make an appearance at any time. When God appears incognito, it is of utmost importance that we recognize the one who appears and make the right response. Could it be that God appeared to you recently in the guise of a stranger living in your country without legal residential status? Or in the form of a street person shivering in the bitter cold or overwhelmed by the searing heat on the earth? Or as a person suffering from HIV/AIDS or dependent on drugs? Or as a beggar holding a sign asking for a hand-out or lying almost lifeless from the debilitating pangs of crippling hunger? How did you respond to your Lord? What did you say? What did you do? During this season of celebration, may the Holy Spirit enable us to recognize when God appears before us draped in the rags of poverty, decked in the tattered clothes of delinquency, bearing the visage of a vagrant, an addict or a social outcast. And wherever God appears, may the ordinariness of the locale and the associated images that could repel us never dissuade us from swinging our arms wide open. Then, we may welcome and embrace the one who offers us a wonderful opportunity to realize the matchless riches of our humanity. Neville Callam General Secretary Baptist World Alliance

BCYD meets GJW (news)

BCYD delegates trip to BUJU 2012 Germany

The German Youth Department invited two delegates from the BCYD as part of our partnership to their annual Youth Summer Camp which is held every second year in Krelingen. Over 1200 young people from Baptist Churches from all over Germany met between 07.-10.06.2012 to fellowship, worship, pray together, listen to different talks and participate in workshops. Furthermore did they meet daily in so called family-groups in order to discuss the Bible-talks from the main sessions in more detail and depth.

This year’s topic was “The soundtrack of your life” and God was moving in the lives of many young people during the course of the weekend. All had the opportunity to learn and reflect on how God wants to give us “power” to write a new love-song on our hearts, how he is still there for us when life is difficult and seem to be on “mute”, the importance to be “connected” to people which are part of our daily soundtrack, how great it can be to push the “shuffle” button in order to see the beauty of God’s creativity and how to “start” with God in our daily lives.  

Follow this link http://fotos.buju.de/index.php?cat=21 to see what was going on!

 

Below are some impressions concerning the trip to Germany and the BUJU 2012 from our two BCYD delegates:

 

What did you enjoy the most about your trip?

The great time I had there, the wonderful people I met, the culture I learned and not forgetting the tour and site-seeing was amazing. (Zanele)

I just enjoyed everything about it, especially our tour in Bochum and Berlin. The conference was on point. The fact that we had a number of workshops where was at liberty choose from and that you felt it would be of benefit to you. The preaching was like a cream on top, concise and straight to the point. (Nkosinathi)

What did you do during your visit?

First we went to the BUJU and it was great, then we visited the GJW office in Elstal and had a tour through Berlin. We eventually went back to Bochum for some days, visited the Baptist Church there and got to know some of the young people. (Zanele)

We as well had an opportunity to meet with the GJW Youth Director (Christian Rommert) to discuss youth issues and the partnership between the BCYD and the GJW. (Nkosinathi)

How did God challenge you during your time there?

God challenged me with the language, on how we are going to communicate with others. He took me to Jeremiah 1:8-9 and I knew I just had to listen to God and He would put words in my mouth. (Zanele)

God showed me that everyone has a soundtrack in their lives. That we all are in different stages in life, and you don’t have to compare yourself with someone else. The phase that you are in is part of the sound track of your life. I just loved the theme. (Nkosinathi)

What have you learned about other cultures?

I learned that culture will not stand in the way of a person. If we are not able to learn about other cultures, then we will not make it. Culture defines us and allows people to interact with one another. (Zanele)

Well that was an interesting one, and I think more time should be invested in looking into culture versus Christianity. But to answer the question, it’s always shock to one’s system and may take months for one to absorb and understand fully. (Nkosinathi)

What have you learned that can benefit the BCYD?

That we must always put God first and work as a team all the time. Don’t be afraid to try new things and to make ourselves available for opportunities. (Zanele)

Well, a lot. But one thing that stood out was seeing young people being proud to be associated and being part of their denomination. (Nkosinathi)

Thank you again to all who prayed and made this trip possible!
