"WHATEVER IT TAKES" FOR THE TAKING... Bill MacLeod, Chairman, Missions Fest Northwest

years ago 5 men - Nate Saint, Jim Elliot, Pete Fleming, Ed McCully, and Roger Youderian persevered to bring the gospel to an unreached people group in Ecuador. Besides the many years each had invested to prepare himself for that moment; courage and compassion compelled them to dare to make contact with the feared Aucas. The gospel eventually transformed the entire tribe and their culture. Missions Fest Northwest 2006 is as much a tribute to the legacy of these five men as it is a demonstration of what opportunities are available to us today - even as you enter by way of the "powered parachute" indigenous peoples now use to bless those they once killed! Plenary session speakers include: • "Mission Macgyver" Steve Saint and the technology his organization, "I-Tec", is developing; • "Grampa" Mincaye who has taken the place of Steve’s own father, Nate, whose life Mincaye took with a spear as a young man; • Eternal Perspectives Ministries Director and author, Randy Alcorn • Veteran missionary: Justin Speerstra working among unreached peoples. As we extend our welcome in Portland, the featurelength film, The End of the Spear, detailing the 5 Martyrs’ story as seen through the eyes of the now Waodani tribe – is opening in theatres nationwide. In addition, we offer, free for the taking… • A City-Wide Prayer dedication the Thursday evening before @ 7:00pm! • An All Day Training Intensive for church mission leaders on Friday @ 9:00am! • More Workshops (125), Presenters (109), and Missionary Exhibits (68) than ever before! • The unveiling of a new approach to Business as Missions through the "MSO 9000" emphasis! May the Lord of the Harvest allow us to declare, with no strings attached, "Whatever it takes" Lord, I’m yours for the taking."

Keynote Speakers: Steve Saint & Mincaye

Randy Alcorn Randy Alcorn is the founder and director of Eternal Perspective Ministries (EPM). Prior to 1990, when he started EPM, he served as a pastor for fourteen years. He has spoken around the world and has taught on the adjunct faculties of Multnomah Bible College and Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon.

Steve was born and raised in Ecuador where his parents were missionaries. His father, Nate Saint, was the “Jungle Pilot” who was one of five young men killed in 1956 by the Waodani Indians (known as Aucas) whom they were trying to reach with the Gospel. He grew up knowing the men who had killed his father and came to love them, to regard them as family, to be baptized by their hands, and to be embraced as a son.

Justin Speerstra Born and raised in Portland, Justin’s heart for the world was developed through shortterm trips in Latin America. Justin, along with his wife and two children, joined a church planting team in North Africa where they have been for just under two years. Justin’s heart is to see God’s name glorified through the establishment of indigenous, reproducing churches in parts of the world where there is little or no Christian witness.

Welcome to New Hope! Ray Cotton Senior Pastor, New Hope Community Church

he New Hope Church family is honored to partner with Missions Fest Northwest and the many churches and mission’s organizations that have teamed together to better serve God globally. I want to extend a warm welcome to you and to let you know we consider it a privilege to host you on our campus. This past year has been an incredible year of crisis and opportunity around our world

like we have never seen before. The level of natural disasters that we have experienced has happened at an unprecedented and alarming level. The sum total of all these events, even to the casual observer, seems more than mere coincidence. To those who are spiritually apprised, we must be discerning of the times and the seasons that we now find ourselves confronted with. Jesus said. “When it is evening, you say ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.” And in the morning, ‘There will

be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times?” God is opening doors that previously were shut tight. In the midst of chaos and crisis God is giving new opportunities. This week we have come together to celebrate and cooperate in what God is presently doing and where He is shifting us for the future to accomplish His work. In the midst of rapid change and movement, let us be sensitive to

the Spirit’s voice to perceive how God would have us to respond. I sense that this week will not be “business as usual.” How exciting to think of the new things that God wants to birth; and fresh new direction, right here, right now, even as we gather. As we anticipate these days of final harvest, let’s eagerly respond together. “WHATEVER IT TAKES!”

Sharing a Missional Heart Steve Patty, Ph.D., Pastor, Pearl Church Professor of Youth and Educational Ministries, Multnomah Bible College

he world in which we live is fascinating, populated by all kinds of people at all different stages of life in all kinds of cultural contexts. The world in which we live is also fractured, hurting, lost, and in deep need of the saving grace of God through Christ. We see it right here in our city— so many needs among so many different kinds of people. Multiply that times cultures and contexts vastly more multidimensional than ours and we see a world full of created beings living in desperate distance from their Creator. The church, in order to truly be the people of God, must gain the heart of God for these people. And the people of the church, in order to truly express their faith, must somehow get involved in introducing people from every culture and every walk of life to the One for whom they were designed. We must join in the mission of God. During the ministry of Christ, the only reference to Jesus being “full of joy” was when his disciples returned from their first ministry trip (Luke 10). Sharing the redemptive heart of God, and doing something about it in practical, ministry-oriented ways gives the Lord great joy. Sharing the missional heart of God makes a difference. May God use Missions Fest Northwest to help us in the church to do this better.

HAVE ONE DESIRE NOW – TO LIVE A LIFE OF RECKLESS ABANDON FOR THE LORD, PUTTING ALL MY ENERGY AND STRENGTH INTO IT. MAYBE HE’LL SEND ME SOMEPLACE WHERE THE NAME OF THE JESUS CHRIST IS UNKNOWN. ED MCCULLY

Build Upon, Accept, Respond, Rise Up! Dr. T. Allen Bethel, Senior Pastor Maranatha Church

ission is at the heart of God! People need to hear the Gospel message and as Paul states, “… how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent?” (Romans 10:14-15). “Unless they are sent?” We have been sent and commissioned by Jesus who said, “As the Father has sent me, so send I you.” (John 20:21) Understanding the mission of saving souls for the kingdom of God and our commission from Jesus, do you hear the challenge to respond? The African-American Church has a unique historical foundation in

missions beginning in the 18th century, more likely before, and continuing today. In spite of social issues and societal mores, some African-American churches are making significant contributions in missions, the need is still great. My challenge to our African-American churches is to build upon our historical mission foundation, accept the call to missions and respond with positive action. “The AfricanAmerican church must walk in obedience to the Biblical mandate to fulfill the Great Commission”, states Vaughn Walston. In spite of the societal ills of today, the African-American church must once again rise to the challenge of being “gospelizers.” Dr. Walter A. McCray defines this as “God-sent messengers whose holistic witness brings the good news of Christ’s

presence and redeeming mission to humanity.” The need is one of urgency and an urgent need compels one to immediate action, attention or response. The need is urgent because: People are dying needing a Savior People are sending us a Macedonian call People are waiting for us to be, to do, and not just to say It is our calling and purpose For all of these reasons and more – African-American churches, rise up and once again take your place in the sphere of missions – you are vitally needed. Will you accept the challenge? Come to Mission Fest Northwest and be charged – be challenged – be changed – be sent! Remember, whatever it takes.

The Flame Still Burns Gilbert Gleason Pastor, Grace Bible Fellowship

ifty years ago the flame of missions was ignited for an entire generation as people responded to the news of five missionaries who sacrificed their lives to take the gospel to an unreached tribe in the jungle of Ecuador. When Grace Bible Fellowship of Portland sent Jim Elliot out as a missionary in 1952, they had no idea the impact his life and death would have on the Christian/evangelical community/world. They were simply being obedient to God’s command for the church to send workers to a field that was ripe for harvest. This one event ignited a flame that still burns bright today.

Missions Fest Northwest celebrates how God used the martyrdom of those five young men to bring many into His kingdom. Three years before sending Jim to Ecuador, Grace Bible Fellowship commissioned his older brother and sister-in-law, Bert and Colleen Elliot, to serve the Lord in Peru. For the past fifty-six years, they have left an indelible imprint for Christ on the Peruvians. Beginning in the jungle and then expanding their ministry to the high Andes and now on the coast, they have seen more than 120 churches begun as an outgrowth of their ministry. Today, there is a network of churches across Peru who have a passion for evangelism and starting new churches. Last year’s Missions Fest Northwest spurred our church to send another team to minister

with Bert and Colleen and their co-workers in Peru this past summer, presenting dramas in the town square, tutoring English in their Christian school, giving testimonies at a drug rehab house and women’s prison, and working alongside Peruvian believers. Missions Fest Northwest helped to motivate our team and gave us practical insights in putting this trip together. We are delighted that Bert and Colleen Elliot will be special guests at Missions Fest Northwest, having just participated in a time of remembrance at “Palm Beach”, the site on the Curaray River in Ecuador where the missionaries were killed. Come and meet these humble servants of God.

Marketplace Sensitive Organizations (MSO9000)

arketplace Sensitive Organizations (MSO9000) is a new pilot project introduced by Missions Fest Northwest to identify those ministry organizations which have a practice of receiving innovative and entrepreneurial ideas from business owners and workplace leaders. In order for an organization to meet this MSO9000 standard, the following two mobilization/recruitment practices must be part of the organization's normal operating procedure: â&#x20AC;˘ A full time contact person who is experienced in working with marketplace leaders. This person provides both evaluation, coaching and follow-through on new initiatives.

â&#x20AC;˘ A short term missions visitation program which can be customized to the interests/proposals of the marketplace leader. Overall, the MSO9000 standard means that a ministry organization has an established pattern of being receptive to innovative projects/programs from marketplace leaders and has the capability of mobilizing its organizational leaders to consider and follow through with those proposals which appear appropriate for its mission and purpose. To identify those organizations which comply with the standard, please look for agencies displaying the big, red banner:

For additional information concerning whether a ministry or organization fits the parameters set out by the "MSO9000" designation, please attend the "Marketplace Business Sensitive Organizations for Business Owners and Entrepreneurs" Workshop, Session I, Friday, 5:30-6:30pm; Room #113 led by John Bradley. Further information can be gleaned by stopping by the Finishers Project, Booth Exhibit #20.

AND

WE WEIGH THE FUTURE AND SEEK THE WILL OF GOD, DOES IT SEEM RIGHT THAT WE SHOULD HAZARD OUR LIVES FOR JUST A FEW SAVAGES? AS WE ASK OURSELVES THIS QUESTION, WE REALIZE THAT IT IS NOT THE CALL OF THE NEEDY THOUSANDS, RATHER IT IS THE SIMPLE INTIMATION OF THE PROPHETIC WORD THAT THERE SHALL BE SOME FROM EVERY TRIBE IN HIS PRESENCE IN THE LAST DAY AND IN OUR HEARTS WE FEEL THAT IT IS PLEASING TO HIM THAT WE SHOULD INTEREST OURSELVES IN MAKING AN OPENING INTO THE AUCA PRISON FOR CHRIST. NATE SAINT

The Passion of Prayer

here have been many stories of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love and protection of His people. Peter was miraculously freed from prison as his friends interceded, Paul was guided by the Holy Spirit after Ananias layed hands on him in prayer, and Christ asked His disciples to pray for Him in the Garden. This great mystery of the necessity of prayer is as critical today as it has been throughout history. For it is the passionate cry of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart to share our lives and minister to the lives of others in our world. Prayer is the unifying truth of the oneness of the Body of Christ.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the pillars of the earth are the Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, And He has set the world upon them. He will guard the feet of His saintsâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? (HANNAHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S

PRAYER,

1SAM 2:8-9)

Missions Fest Northwest is committed and founded on the prayers of the saints. This commitment to prayer has covered the world with intercession for the revelation of Jesus as Christ to the lost and suffering of our world. There are many who do not know how to begin to enter into the mission field. For you, prayer is a way to start! On Thursday, January 19, 2006 at 7:00p.m., Missions Fest Northwest is hosting a prayer rally at New Hope Community Church. Many local pastors and leaders in our community have been invited to join together to intercede for the world and for Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glory and impact at Missions Fest 2006. There will also be prayer available during the two day conference in Room #125 at New Hope.

As Jesus said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believed in Me through their word; that they all may be oneâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? (John 17:20-21) As God sends workers into the field to share the love of Christ, there is a calling to faithfully pray that the words of their testimonies would enlighten the hearts of those who would believe. As our missionaries â&#x20AC;&#x153;go forthâ&#x20AC;?, let us pray! For it is the passion of prayer that guides and â&#x20AC;&#x153;guard the feet of His saints.â&#x20AC;? Lucienne Sawyer
