Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Wembo-Nyama's Land: A Story of the Thrilling Experiences in Establishing the Methodist Mission Among the Atetela This little book has been written, first, with the purpose of giving a clear picture of the conditions, customs, and character of the Otetela Tribe, in Central Africa, among which the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, began missionary work during the first part of 1914; second, with the desire of setting forth the history, splendid success to date, and the great promise of the future usefulness of this mission; and, third, with the earnest prayer that many of its readers may be helped through it to yield their lives more fully to the leadership of God's Spirit and to the extension of his kingdom in all lands. It is also hoped that this simple story of those people in Central Africa and the mission work among them may be of great inspiration to the Epworth Leaguers especially, since almost from the very beginning they have assumed the entire responsibility for financing this mission and to a large extent for manning it with recruits from their ranks. Grateful acknowledgment is given to all those who have in numerous ways assisted in the preparation of this volume. Especial mention should be made of the various missionaries of the Methodist Episcopal Congo Mission, from whose articles and letters numerous quotations have been made, the use of which it has been requested be made with the writers' names held in reserve. We are deeply grateful to Prof. Garfield Evans, of Epworth League Central Office at Nashville, Tenn., for his timely suggestions as to certain parts and paragraphs, for corrections, proof reading, and the assuming of the practical responsibility of the editing. We are also largely indebted to him for the closing reflections, meditation, and prayer of each chapter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Objects of Life in Central Africa written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-09-15 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Objects of Life in Central Africa the history of consumption and social change from 1840 until 1980 is explored. By taking consumption as a vantage point, the contributions deviate from and add to previous works which have mainly analysed issues of production from an economic and political perspective. The chapters are broad-ranging in temporal and geographical focus, including contributions on Congo, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Angola. Topics range from the social history of firearms to the perception of the railway and include contributions on sewing machines, traders and advertising. By looking at the socio-economic, political and cultural meaning and impact of goods the history of Central Africa is reassessed.

Download or read book African Pastor Teachers written by Dr. John Wesley Zwonunondiita Kurewa and published by Upper Room Books. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African Christians who believe the half-truth that Christianity in Africa is the product of European and American missionary work need this book. Dr. John Kurewa explores Methodist history in Africa, focusing on the early years of United Methodism in Zimbabwe (1890s-1920s). He reveals it was Africans who led the way in propagating the gospel. Missionaries strategized, but African preachers evangelized. So-called "native helpers" took the gospel to the rural areas and planted the churches, especially in the villages. Kurewa also reveals that in the course of serving the gospel in the African context, indigenous spiritual leaders crafted and modeled a distinctive form of pastoral leadership—the African pastor-teacher—that proved sustainable and fruitful then, and is relevant still today.

Download or read book Origin of Wesleyan Methodism in Sierra Leone and History of Its Missions written by Charles Marke and published by First Fruits Press. This book was released on 2018-11-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The digital copies of these recordings are available for free at First Fruits website. place.asburyseminary.edu/firstfruits Preface Knowing that it is a serious disadvantage to any people or country whose history is not written for the benefit of posterity, it has, for many years past, occurred to me that I ought to attempt something in this direction in connexion with Wesleyan Methodism, which has not only existed in this Colony of Sierra Leone for more than a century, but has conferred numerous untold benefits, intellectual, moral, and spiritual, on the people in general. Owing to the attendant strain of a Methodist Circuit life, and the great responsibility that rested on me as a Superintendent Minister since the early part of 1867, I could not possibly afford time to undertake the gigantic work of preparing a history of the rise and progress of Methodism and its Missions in Sierra Leone. A gracious Providence having, however, mercifully spared me to retire from the multifarious duties of circuit work at the close of the first quarter of the year 1910, after fifty-one years' active service, I feel that, as the oldest Wesleyan minister in the district, God has no doubt preserved me for the accomplishment of the important task; I must therefore at once proceed to put together certain facts from credible and available records, along with my reminiscences of sundry matters that are about half a century old, for the information alike of both young and old. With the belief that the obituaries of both the European Missionaries and African Ministers that died in the work here or elsewhere will be foundinteresting and appreciated, particularly in Methodistcircles in which they were not previously known; their insertion will be given in the pages within therespective decades in which the deaths occurred. For the map of Sierra Leone showing approximate Tribal Divisions the writer of this history is indebted to Mr. C. H. Lukach's book, A Bibliography of Sierra Leone.

This book was released on 2018-09-11 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from African Methodism in the South, or Twenty-Five Years of Freedom In undertaking this work I have had in mind to present to my readers and to the A. M. E. Church a brief but comprehensive survey of the work of our church in the South, especially in the State of Geor gia; so that in passing over the pages if there be found anything omitted which would seem necessary to make the history of our church work in the South ern States complete, it must be remembered that such a comprehensive history has not been my de sign. Such would call for more space than this small volume can comprise, and there are historians who will undertake the task of setting forth the work in other individual States. It has been my aim to touch upon the adjoining States to Georgia only so far as seemed necessary to a proper understanding of the spread of the work. And when the relationship is so close as to make one a necessary complement of the other, and so far as my own personal experience in those States would war rant my adding them to my list.
