Comment on Amish Mission to Europe by Robert

Dear Bob and others,

The mission in Ireland is still strong and growing. In fact, we as a Dutch family are moving over there next month to join them. We moved to England a couple of years ago and through various contacts discovered that the Conservative Anabaptist way is Gods way. God bless you all.

Dear people,
I come back, with a bad news. In fact, I finally received an anwser to my questions, via the Mennonite Center of Brussels. The Paul Yoder’s family (Beachy Amish Mission in Belgium) came back to the USA in 2008.
It’s sad to say, but there is no more Beachy or other Amish in Belgium
I’ll have to find if hte Ireland congregation exists yet. Please notice ther is one congregation in Poland; Eric wrote about it in AmishAmerica blog.

Have yourself a merry Christmas,
Bob.

Younger generations may be less hostile to religion but I wonder if the EVS shows any change in hostility to authority? If they are as hostile (or at least suspicious) to authority then it has a large bearing on how Christians take the gospel to them – i.e. in the context of growing trust and conversation rather than campaigns and relationally-distant communication.

indeed very much i think the trend over a number of years so the more voices pointing this out, in the face of those still arguing an atheist secularization thesis, the better – people here may be interested in my own research bulletin in which i have recently tried to asses the figures for atheism in both the EVS and recent international survey both asking different but interesting questions. if i am right they show that younger generations are moving away from atheism whilst older ones are moving towards it which ,may chime with the suggestion here that younger generations are less hostile to religion – for any interested it can be found here http://www.churcharmy.org.uk/ms/sc/Evangelism/sfc_tomorrows_evangelism.aspx

Comment on Dreams and the Church in Turkey by Valentin Kozhuharov

Valentin Kozhuharov — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 11:51:40 +0000

No wonder! (although we might wonder – becoming a Christian is quite unusual for a country where Islam has had strong roots) I know Muslims in Bulgaria (where some 10% of the Bulgarian population are Turks and are Muslim) who became Christians and the interesting thing is that most of them went to the Evangelical churches, not the Orthodox church. There may be Muslims who have had dreams, before deciding to embrace Christianity, but I am not aware of specific cases. On the other hand, I say “no wonder” because Turkey in general is a secular country, although publicly it has been proclaimed that it is a Muslim one, but I have been many times there and know many Turks (both in Turkey and in Bulgaria) and have found that in general the population in Turkey is not religious, in the sense of true followers of Allah, but they “feel religious” only by tradition or public opinion. From this perspective, Turkey is a real challenge for Christians and the more they get to know the Turks the more they would find that it is a huge mission field out there. Of course, the government, the Muslims and all the various Islamic societies in the country would do everything to prevent any mission but this is the challenge which Christians face in all their attempts in the different countries in the world as a whole.
