Not illustrated. 1887 edition. Excerpt: ... XX. Clouds Gathering--No New Story--Boees Destroy Mission StaTions--Troubled Hearts. WE have now reached, in the life of the Kuruman mission, under Mr. Moifat, the twenty-ninth or thirtieth year, and the few years just passed had been those of almost uninterrupted tranquil prosperity; but now and for a little time previous to this date, 1848 and '49, there had been creeping into the horizon of its sky a cloud that threatened its future. This cloud grew out of the gradual, and bold encroachments of the Dutch farmers (Boers) upon the possessions of the natives. To us Americans it is no new story, but much the same as that of our own unjust dealings with the Indians. What, to those white men, were the rights of the native black pagans? And the government did not raise its hands to protect those who were of no profit to it; those who seemed even to be the property of any one who could capture them. Whose heart does not chill when reading of the slave trade of the African coasts? And many of the slaves there sold and shipped were stolen from interior tribes. As there was protection for these natives nowhere but in their own power, which was but small against a superior enemy, it came to pass that the Boers spread themselves all over the land, where they would, beyond the colony's possessions driving the rightful owners they cared not where; dispelling from their minds the little esteem for the whites the missionaries had been able to inspire. The Kuruman station itself, on accent of its situation and lack of some of the advantages possessed by other parts of the country, --possibly because it was the Lord's ground, --was never subject to an invasion, though several times threatened; but its work and influence in time were much restricted.

Encounters between Jesuits and Protestants in Africa
Author: Robert Aleksander MaryksPublisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004347151
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Protestants entering Africa in the nineteenth century sought to learn from earlier Jesuit presence in Ethiopia and southern Africa. The nineteenth century was itself a century of missionary scramble for Africa during which the Jesuits encountered their Protestant counterparts as both sought to evangelize the African native. Encounters between Jesuits and Protestants in Africa, edited by Robert Alexander Maryks and Festo Mkenda, S.J., presents critical reflections on the nature of those encounters in southern Africa and in Ethiopia, Madagascar, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Fernando Po. Though largely marked by mutual suspicion and outright competition, the encounters also reveal personal appreciations and support across denominational boundaries and thus manifest salient lessons for ecumenical encounters even in our own time. This volume is the result of the second Boston College International Symposium on Jesuit Studies held at the Jesuit Historical Institute in Africa (Nairobi, Kenya) in 2016. Thanks to generous support of the Institute for Advanced Jesuit Studies at Boston College, it is available in Open Access.
The Mind of a Missionary

Book Description
"Charles Spurgeon once said, "You're either a missionary or an imposter." To be a Christ-follower means joining Jesus on his mission to redeem humanity. But missional living is easier said than done in a culture drifting toward post-Christian secularism. More than ever, we need a dose of Jesus' missionary ethos to fill our minds with gospel passion ... Each chapter of this book highlights missionary heroes--historical and modern-day Christians--who challenge us to join God's redemptive mission ... You'll find that God uses ordinary, run-of-the-mill folks to extend his glory into the earthly setting. Author David Joannes draws upon history, psychology, life experience, and powerful storytelling to reshape your perception of God's unique plan for your life. He says, "If you really want to thrive on mission, you must allow God to redefine your definition of the normal Christian life."--Publisher
