This book was released on 2013 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project is an exploration of the relationship between serving people and doing the work of evangelism in and through the ministry of Memorial Baptist Church, Frankfort, Kentucky. Though the title states that this effort embodies the goal of "creating a culture of servant evangelism," the true test of this culture will not be fully recognized until far more time than the length of this 15-week project has come and gone. Chapter 1 introduces the ministry project, stating the purpose and goals set forth. A brief history of the host church is offered for the sake of contextualization. Definitions, limitations, and delimitations are provided for clarity, and the research methodology and instruments are included. Chapter 2 offers an exploration of five biblical texts directly relevant to the venue of servant evangelism. The exploration and research provide adequate detail to give substance and support to the various aspects of this project. Two biblical characters represent the model of a servant leader: Jesus and Joshua. Both serve as honorable role models for the venue of servant evangelism. Chapter 3 examines the theoretical and sociological aspects of servant evangelism. The goal for this chapter is to present servant leaders in the context of social involvement in order to create evangelistic opportunities. With that goal in mind, the endeavored outcome is to extend the kingdom of God through acts of kindness done in a spirit of humility. Chapter 4 gives the details of the 15-week ministry project. The goal for this chapter is to present the project in such a way that any church can take this chapter and carry out the work of servant evangelism in their context. Chapter 5 offers an evaluation of the purpose, goals, strengths and weaknesses of the ministry project, as well as theological and personal reflections. The chapter correlates the overall impact of the project on all who were involved.

Download or read book Westward into Kentucky written by Chester Raymond Young and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-07-11 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his youth Daniel Trabue (1760--1840) served as a Virginia soldier in the Revolutionary War. After three years of service on the Kentucky frontier, he returned home to participate as a sutler in the Yorktown campaign. Following the war he settled in the Piedmont, but by 1785 his yearning to return westward led him to take his family to Kentucky, where they settled for a few years in the upper Green River country. He recorded his narrative in 1827, in the town of Columbia, of which he was a founder. A keen observer of people and events, Trabue captures experiences of everyday life in both the Piedmont and frontier Kentucky. His notes on the settling of Kentucky touch on many important moments in the opening of the Bluegrass region.

Download or read book Caught between Worlds written by Joe Snader and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The captivity narrative has always been a literary genre associated with America. Joe Snader argues, however, that captivity narratives emerged much earlier in Britain, coinciding with European colonial expansion, the development of anthropology, and the rise of liberal political thought. Stories of Europeans held captive in the Middle East, America, Africa, and Southeast Asia appeared in the British press from the late sixteenth through the late eighteenth centuries, and captivity narratives were frequently featured during the early development of the novel. Until the mid-eighteenth century, British examples of the genre outpaced their American cousins in length, frequency of publication, attention to anthropological detail, and subjective complexity. Using both new and canonical texts, Snader shows that foreign captivity was a favorite topic in eighteenth-century Britain. An adaptable and expansive genre, these narratives used set plots and stereotypes originating in Mediterranean power struggles and relocated in a variety of settings, particularly eastern lands. The narratives' rhetorical strategies and cultural assumptions often grew out of centuries of religious strife and coincided with Europe's early modern military ascendancy. Caught Between Worlds presents a broad, rich, and flexible definition of the captivity narrative, placing the American strain in its proper place within the tradition as a whole. Snader, having assembled the first bibliography of British captivity narratives, analyzes both factual texts and a large body of fictional works, revealing the ways they helped define British identity and challenged Britons to rethink the place of their nation in the larger world.
