Do you know what God is doing in the
new millennium?
("Perspectives is absolutely essential for anyone interested in missions!") GEORGE VERWER, Operation MobilizationWhat is Perspectives?
Perspectives Study Program on the World Christian Movement is a dynamic 15-week discipleship course taught by a variety of veteran missionaries, influential strategists and professors, each an expert in their respective area.
Discover what God is doing around the world and consider your part in His purposes. Perspectives Study Program will help you understand God’s plan for our world – and possibly for your life – as you explore the following topics:
It is Biblical What does God’s Word reveal about His plan?
Discover God’s often overlooked yet unchanging purpose as it’s revealed from Genesis to Revelation.
It is Historical How has God been working throughout history?
You’ll be challenged and encouraged as you learn about the unlikely people and surprising events God has used throughout history in the spread of the Gospel.
It is Cultural How does culture fit in God’s global plan?
Do missionaries destroy or enhance cultures when they plant churches? Learn the keys for communicating the Gospel to people with different world views and cultures.
It is Strategic What role could you and your church play?
What are ‘unreached people groups’ and why are they so important in the completion of God’s eternal purpose?
Perspectives Study Program is for…
… You!

A Note from St John-in-the-Wilderness, New Germany, NS
Dear Friends,
In 1844. Bishop John Inglis wrote in his journal, “Tuesday, July 23rd. After some heavy showers, we(the Reverends Philip Filleul & James Cochran) drove three miles to the church, or rather Chapel which is in the Parish of Lunenburg, and found 350 persons assembled. We were three hours in the chapel and then we were obligated to hasten on our journey." He was writing about our church at New Germany.
This year, 2009, we are 165 years old! This church congregation has been a significant part of the spiritual journeys of many people over the years, and continues to be a vibrant community as we face the challenges of continuing in ministry together.
On Saturday, August 8th & Sunday, August 9th (2009) we will be having some special “Anna”versary Celebrations(“Anna”-versary /i.e.Rev Anna Hoeg) and invite all former, present, (and prospective?) members and friends to join us. There will be an Open House and Barbecue on Saturday and Morning Worship and Reception on Sunday.
We’d also like to hear from any clergy family members who may be interested in visiting one of the churches of their childhood or of their ancestors. We are a rural parish, and were often ministered to by young clergy straight from seminary many of whom had young families while they were here. [Our Clergy have included Snyder(1852), Brown(1875), Gwillim(1889), Parry(1890), Andrews(1895), Johnston(1896), Mellor(1897), Johnson(1898), Martell(1909), Harrison(1916), Elliott(1918), Knickle(1920), Brown(1927), Ott(1923), Veinotte(1938), French(1942), Chard(1944), Martell(1948), Isaacs(1954), Trueman(1955), Purvis(1960), Thirkell(1961), Doherty(1964), Purchase(1965), Tattrie(1972), Rigby(1977), Robertson(1984), Armstrong(1990), McClure-Fraser(1997), Henderson(2003), Hoeg(2006)]
If you’d like to join us or wish to know more about our celebration, please contact the “Anna”versary Committee through Catherine Robar at (644-2854) or cf.robar@ns.sympatico.ca
