Book excerpt: Drawing on both Indian and U.S. sources, Dr. Mahendra uncovers facts and sets forth insights that make this book timely and valuable for the church today, not only in India and America but around the world....This is a book on missiology grounded in biography... I am happy to commend this thoroughly researched new contribution to mission history and theology. - Howard A. Snyder, Ph.D. International Representative, Manchester Wesley Research Centre It is my privilege to express my profound appreciation for this excellent study and reflection on the life and ministry of Ernest and Phebe Ward by Dr. Shivraj Mahendra... This is no mere "period study" for an armchair historian. This is a compelling invitation to enter into the life and work of one of the most compelling and little-known pioneer missionaries of the time... you will leave this study inspired and challenged. - Timothy C. Tennent, Ph.D. President and Professor of World Christianity, Asbury Theological Seminary A definitive study of Ernest and Phebe Ward's lives and ministry in Central India has been long overdue and Dr. Shivraj Mahendra has now made a significant contribution to fill the gap. Dr. Mahendra's research and perceptions are enriched and made more meaningful by his own spiritual and cultural roots in the very regions where Ernest and Phebe Ward introduced the gospel 140 years ago. - Rev. David Yardy Free Methodist Missionary in Asia for 38 years

Download or read book Mission of Sorrows written by John L. Kessell and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 1970 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mission of Guevavi on the Santa Cruz River in what is now southern Arizona served as a focal point of Jesuit missionary endeavor among the Pima Indians on New Spain's far northwestern frontier. For three-quarters of a century, from the first visit by the renowned Eusebio Francisco Kino in 1691 until the Jesuit Expulsion in 1767, the difficult process of replacing one culture with another—the heart of the Spanish mission system—went on at Guevavi. Yet all but the initial years presided over by Father Kino have been forgotten. Drawing upon archival materials in Mexico, Spain, and the United States—including accounts by the missionaries themselves and the surviving pages of the Guevavi record books—Kessell brings to life those forgotten years and forgotten men who struggled to transform a native ranchería into an ordered mission community. Of the eleven Black Robes who resided at Guevavi between 1701 and 1767, only a few are well known to history. Others—such as Joseph Garrucho, who presided more years at Guevavi than any other Padre; Alexandro Rapicani, son of a favorite of Sweden's Queen Christina; Custodio Zimeno, Guevavi's last Jesuit—have the details of their roles filled in here for the first time. In this in-depth study of a single missionary center, Kessell describes in detail the daily round of the Padres in their activities as missionaries, educators, governors, and intercessors among the often-indifferent and occassionally hostile Pimas. He discusses the Pima uprising of 1751 and the events that led up to it, concluding that it actually continued sporadically for some ten years. The growing ferocity of the Apache, the disastrous results of certain government policies—especially the removal of the Sobaípuri Indians from the San Pedro Valley—and the declining native population due to a combination of enforced culture change and epidemics of European diseases are also carefully explored. The story of Guevavi is one of continuing adversity and triumph. It is the story, finally, of explusion for the Jesuits and, a few short years later, the end of Mission Guevavi at the hands of the Apaches. In Mission of Sorrows Kessell has projected meticulous research into a highly readable narrative to produce an important contribution to the history of the Spanish Borderlands.

Book excerpt: "...and so I was launched to be a preacher of the gospel to the ends of the earth." ~ Herbert E. Grings The apostle Paul testified that it is not the wise, the mighty, or the noble but rather the foolish and weak who are chosen to manifest the glory of God in the midst of a dark and dying world. Herbert Grings humbly followed his Savior wherever he was called, and he sought to bring God alone the glory through his life and sacrificial service. Despite shipwreck, the death of his wife, and many other trials in the jungles of the Belgian Congo, Herbert faithfully proclaimed the gospel of Christ leaving behind a Christ-like example for future generations.
