An Approach To The History Of Missions In The Church Of The Nazarene In Cuba, Mirelys Correoso Calzadilla
An Approach To The History Of Missions In The Church Of The Nazarene In Cuba, Mirelys Correoso Calzadilla
The Asbury Journal
The history of a church is impossible to tell if the chronicles of its missions are ignored. It is the latter that give it life and continuity. This article aims to present a brief historical review of the development of the missions in the Church of the Nazarene in Cuba. We begin with Miss Leona Gardner, a North American missionary, who arrived on the island in 1902. She preached the gospel in the area of Casilda, Trinidad, in the former province of Santi Espíritus, for 25 years. The merit lies in the fact that although she did not manage to …

La historia de un una iglesia, es imposible contarla, si se obvia las crónicas de las misiones. Son estas últimas, las que le dan vida y continuidad. Este artículo, pretende hacer una breve reseña histórica, del desarrollo de las misiones, en la Iglesia del Nazareno en Cuba. Comenzamos, con la señorita Leona Gardner, misionera norteamericana, que llegó a la isla en el año 1902. La misma, predicó el evangelio, en la zona de Casilda, Trinidad, antigua provincia de Santi Espíritus, durante 25 años. El mérito estriba, que aunque no logró plantar una iglesia conocida o formalmente instituida, se entregó a …
The Groaning Of God: Jesus’ Sighs In Mark 7:34 And 8:12, Rachel L. Coleman
The Groaning Of God: Jesus’ Sighs In Mark 7:34 And 8:12, Rachel L. Coleman
The Asbury Journal
Mark’s use of sighing/groaning language ([ἀνα-]στενάζω) in 7:34 and 8:12, when set alongside the LXX and other NT use of the terms, provides a powerful glimpse of the mystery of the Incarnation, as the Son of Man groans in solidarity with humanity and creation and the Son of God groans in concert with the Father and the Spirit in the eschatological work of liberation, healing, and restoration.
El Gemir De Dios: Los Suspiros De Jesús En Marcos 7:34 Y 8:12, Rachel L. Coleman
El Gemir De Dios: Los Suspiros De Jesús En Marcos 7:34 Y 8:12, Rachel L. Coleman
The Asbury Journal
El lenguaje de gemir/suspirar ([ἀνα-]στενάζω) en Marcos 7:34 y 8:12, cuando se pone al lado del uso de los términos en la LXX y el NT, provee un vistazo poderoso del misterio de la Encarnación, cuando el Hijo del Hombre gime/suspira en solidaridad con la humanidad y la creación y el Hijo de Dios gime/suspira en concierto con el Padre y el Espíritu en la obra escatológica de liberación, sanidad y restauración.
Strength In The Midst Of Loneliness: An Ecuadorian Christian Woman’S Experience Of Widowhood, Elis Damarys Carrión Flores, Christian Bermeo Valencia
Strength In The Midst Of Loneliness: An Ecuadorian Christian Woman’S Experience Of Widowhood, Elis Damarys Carrión Flores, Christian Bermeo Valencia
The Asbury Journal
In Ecuador, most cases of widowhood correspond to women, many of these believers. Although I cannot prove that this is certain in all cases, my experience has shown me that many widows feel alone and unprotected at some point in their life. This article reflects on the biblical affirmation that God is close to the afflicted and the weary to strengthen them (Ps. 34:18; 73:26), and focuses on the feeling of loneliness that accompanies widowhood, doing this in light of the Word of God and my own personal experience. The essay has four parts. In the first two, we contextualize …
Fortaleza En Medio De La Soledad. Experiencia De La Viudez De Una Mujer Cristiana Del Ecuador, Elis Damarys Carrión Flores, Christian Bermeo Valencia
Fortaleza En Medio De La Soledad. Experiencia De La Viudez De Una Mujer Cristiana Del Ecuador, Elis Damarys Carrión Flores, Christian Bermeo Valencia
The Asbury Journal
n Ecuador, la mayoría de los casos de viudez corresponden a mujeres, muchas de ellas creyentes. Aunque no puedo asegurar que esto sea cierto en todos los casos, mi experiencia me ha mostrado que muchas viudas se sienten solas y desprotegidas en algún momento de su vida. Este artículo reflexiona sobre la afirmación bíblica de que Dios está cerca del afligido y abatido para fortalecerlo (Salmo 34:18 y Salmo 73:26), enfocándose en el sentimiento de soledad que acompaña a la viudez, a la luz de la Palabra y mi propia experiencia. El documento se divide en cuatro apartados. En los …
Santidad Y Misiones Pentecostales En El Salvador: El Ejemplo De Federico Ernesto Mebius, Robert A. Danielson
Santidad Y Misiones Pentecostales En El Salvador: El Ejemplo De Federico Ernesto Mebius, Robert A. Danielson
The Asbury Journal
A Federico Mebius se le atribuye el mérito de ser el primer misionero pentecostal en El Salvador, pero su historia es más complicada. Como misionero de la Alianza Cristiana y Misionera en Bolivia, Mebius formó parte del Movimiento de Santidad. El seguimiento de su historia revela una brecha de información desde 1903 hasta 1908, desde Los Ángeles, California, hasta El Paso, Texas. Mientras tanto, la historia oral sitúa a Mebius como fundador de iglesias alrededor de 1904 en El Salvador. Esta historia crea un espacio para explorar las misiones de Santidad que surgieron de Los Ángeles y especular sobre cómo …

The New York Circuit And The City Missions Movement: Temporary Spaces, Quarterly Meeting Collaboration, And Rented Pews, Philip Hardt
The New York Circuit And The City Missions Movement: Temporary Spaces, Quarterly Meeting Collaboration, And Rented Pews, Philip Hardt
The Asbury Journal
It is well-known that, by 1850, the Methodist Episcopal Church had become the largest Protestant denomination in the United States. Indeed, camp meetings, dedicated itinerant preachers, and a democratic structure that utilized laypeople helped fuel this explosive growth, especially as Methodism moved westward. Yet, upon closer examination, the church’s growth occurred more slowly, especially in the long-established urban areas on the east coast. This is illustrated by the New York Circuit’s struggle to respond not only to the new “city missions” movement beginning in 1816, but also to new church construction in the other, more prosperous, parts of Manhattan. Although …

A Deal With The Devil: Pragmatic Mission And Early American Methodism’S Complicity With Slavery, William Payne
A Deal With The Devil: Pragmatic Mission And Early American Methodism’S Complicity With Slavery, William Payne
The Asbury Journal
Early American Methodism inherited a staunch abolitionist position from John Wesley. Bishops Francis Asbury and Thomas Coke strongly opposed slavery. Under their leadership, the early minutes and disciplines included a series of rules that required preachers to free their slaves and ameliorate the effects of slavery. They also waged an ongoing “war” with the various state legislatures that allowed slavery. After a strong backlash threatened Methodism’s ability to minister to slaves, enter plantations, and work in the South, the church prioritized the evangelistic mandate over the cultural mandate. The compromise mitigated social hostility and allowed Methodism to become the largest …
H.C. Morrison And The Holiness Union Of The South, Robert A. Danielson
H.C. Morrison And The Holiness Union Of The South, Robert A. Danielson
The Asbury Journal
Holiness history in the southern United States tends to view the movement as a collection of local or regional churches or institutions without a unified organization. This view often overlooks the work of H.C. Morrison and an organization he founded called the Holiness Union of the South. It began in 1904 and lasted through 1915 and sought to unite the Holiness work in a fashion similar to the National Holiness Association in the northern United States. The Union focused on the areas of mission, education, and publishing- areas which smaller organizations were ill-equipped to operate. While the Union was initially …
Why Did Disciples Anoint With Oil For Healing In Mark 6:13?, Craig S. Keener
Why Did Disciples Anoint With Oil For Healing In Mark 6:13?, Craig S. Keener
The Asbury Journal
This short essay explores the cultural meanings behind the practice of anointing people with oil for healing within the context of scripture. This work is the result of research which is not being published elsewhere due to space limitations, but is considered significant and of interest to many in the Global Church today. While it does not fit the full definition of an academic article, it remains an essay which can clarify and illuminate the issue of anointing with oil for many leaders and laity in the church.

Jesús, El Mártir Arquetípico Y Sus Seguidores En Apocalipsis, Bart Bruehler, Rachel Coleman
Jesús, El Mártir Arquetípico Y Sus Seguidores En Apocalipsis, Bart Bruehler, Rachel Coleman
The Asbury Journal
El elemento central del retrato juanino de Jesús en Apocalipsis es su identidad paradójica como el Cordero inmolado que ha vencido precisamente por su sufrimiento y como el martus (testigo) fiel y arquetípico. Los dos conceptos, mártir y testigo, se entrelazan en el retrato de Jesús y son paradigmáticos para los seguidores fieles del Cordero viviendo en medio de un contexto hostil.

Survey And Questionnaire Design For Church-Based Research, David R. Dunaetz
Survey And Questionnaire Design For Church-Based Research, David R. Dunaetz
Great Commission Research Journal
To better understand behaviors, beliefs, and attitudes in churches, survey research can be very useful, especially to test a hypothesis that we believe to be true. Before creating a survey or questionnaire, the phenomena being examined need to be well understood and appropriate measures chosen. The items included in the survey need to measure the concepts desired and should be clear and unambiguous. The survey should be laid out to motivate maximum participation and minimize biased responses. This article provides many principles for how to accomplish these goals and to ensure that the research undertaken is credible.
