Paauwe

Dear Friends and Prayer Partners,

To God be the glory—great things He hath done! We praise and thank the Lord for His continued blessings and guidance in the ministry in Perth, Western Australia. We thank you for your prayers and faithful support for God’s work in this part of the world.

In January we commenced part-time classes of Covenant Bible Institute. It has been my privilege to teach “Introduction to Bible Doctrines.” Once this course finishes, we’ll continue with “Doctrine of God.” About 18 students attend the class. Also, in January we began an Adult Bible Class on the book of Genesis on Sunday afternoons before the Worship Service of Covenant Bible-Presbyterian Church. We have completed studying the creation account and are now studying the flood. More than 30 members of the church congregation are attending this Bible class.

Several new families with young children have recently started to attend Covenant Bible-Presbyterian Church. As a result, attendance in the Sunday School and Junior Fellowship has increased. We now have 25 children in the Sunday School and 16 in the Junior Fellowship. Mrs. Paauwe continues to oversee the work of the Sunday School and Junior Fellowship, but we are in the midst of training younger leaders to take over these responsibilities.

The Youth Fellowship is also increasing in attendance as several young people have come to Perth to study here. About 20 youths are studying the book of Proverbs. Before each Bible Study, I have a meeting with the Bible Study facilitators to prepare them to lead the Bible Study. After the Bible Study I give some closing remarks, summarizing the Bible Study.

The Young Adult Fellowship members are studying the biblical view of marriage, using a series of videotaped lessons by Dr. Jim Berg of Bob Jones University. This has been very helpful and is greatly appreciated by the 12-14 young adults who attend regularly.

We praise and thank the Lord for faithful co-labourers in Covenant Bible-Presbyterian Church: the four deacons and their families, the Sunday School teachers, the Youth Fellowship leaders, and each one who has a part in serving the Lord.

Our hearts are grateful for many opportunities to share the good news of the Gospel during this Easter season. As we celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, we shall give out Gospel tracts, praying that God will use them for the salvation of friends and loved ones.

On May 1st, Covenant Bible-Presbyterian Church will celebrate its first anniversary with a thanksgiving service followed by a fellowship dinner. Rev. Dr. Jack Sin of Maranatha Bible-Presbyterian Church, Singapore, will be the speaker. Rev. Dr. Jack Sin will also be the main speaker at the Family Bible Conference of Covenant Bible-Presbyterian Church, May 2-5, to be held at Bayview Geographe Resort in Busselton, Western Australia. The theme for the conference is “Walk Worthy of the Lord,” based on Colossians 1:10. I’ll be leading in the morning devotions at the Bible Conference, and Mrs. Paauwe will be in charge of the children’s meetings.

In July we’ll be going to Melbourne to speak at the Bible Camp of Ebenezer Bible-Presbyterian Church, July 1-4. Mrs. Paauwe will conduct Sunday School Teacher Training while we are in Melbourne.

Please pray for us as we continue the ministry in Perth and serve the Lord at the Covenant B-P Church Bible Conference in Busselton, Western Australia, in May, and at the Ebenezer B-P Church Bible Camp in Melbourne, in July. May God bless and keep each one of us as we serve Him faithfully.

With Christian love and prayers,

Edward and Lehia Paauwe

February was the time to give my passport a workout as I visited all our mission stations in ASEAN. Though I’d been to all the fields before (except Australia) this was my first visit as the International Field Director. As such, my main goal was to evaluate and  facilitate a long range planning process with each field and subsequently with the Missions Council. The trip was also helpful for me as I seek to faithfully represent and counsel our missionaries on the field. Each field presents its own unique blessings and benefits. At the same time, changes take place at least as quickly there as here at home.

The work in Cambodia has certainly flourished since my last visit. Mark is no longer working alone or exclusively in the capital. Joined by his enthusiastic new bride (WiWin), the Baldwins are actively preaching the gospel to hundreds, every week end, in the villages of Prey Pdao and Kpbaom.  This summer they will be joined by Team Timothy who will hold Bible Schools and help in other aspects of ministry. Keep the newlyweds and their work in your prayers; where God is working, the enemy does not slumber. Opposition, however, does not always come from outside the church and there are false  shepherds that would harry the flock in Cambodia as well as America. Please uphold Mark and WiWin in your prayers as they labor to acquire proficiency in Khmer.

God graciously allowed me to make a stop in Myanmar as well. Though not part of the itinerary as we started planning this trip, Rev. Kima has had a goal of encouraging fellowship among likeminded  reformed ministries in the Golden Kingdom.  The Reformed Faith Fellowship of Myanmar held its organizational meeting,  and I was invited to bring the message. It was a joy to see the work develop. The previous day we met for the first session meeting of the Yangon church. Reports were received from all five missions works, the newest of which, Thinglei in the Chin state, has an average attendance of 81 and has been gathering all the materials needed to build a church. Maiwte, Kima’s wife, will be making the 4 day journey to provide training for the workers there. On Sunday I was able to preach at the Yangon church service and participate in ordaining two new elders for the congregation.

Heading to Australia required a stopover somewhere, so I was glad to be able to meet friends in Singapore who have partnered with us in ministry. Increasingly, our churches are joined together in missions, education and church planting. We look forward to assisting one another in the Lord’s work.

My final stop was in Australia. My first visit to the continent wasn’t to see local wildlife, but to visit our veteran missionaries, the Paauwes, and praise the Lord for the mature congregation that is taking form there. It was a great joy to meet a good number of the congregation and to speak to them about Biblical counseling. Though counseling was the assigned topic we spent just as much time talking about Myanmar. The church in Perth is deeply interested in the ministry in Myanmar, supporting them financially as well as by sending teams to minister in Yangon. The Paauwe’s were also deeply interested in making sure I met a wallaby up close and personal. Ed & Lehia look forward to drawing their fulltime career on the field to a close and retiring in Australia at the end of 2012. They plan to come home and visit their supporting churches sometime after that. Please be in prayer for Covenant Bible Presbyterian Church as they engage in the pastoral search process and for the Paauwes as they prepare for a new phase of life and ministry. They intend to move to Adelaide to reside near their daughter and her family and to be available to serve short term when and where needed.

This has been a great trip primarily because the Lord continues to allow me the privilege of serving some of His choice servants.  — Rev. Kevin M. Backus, PhD.

Two new families with children have recently started to attend Covenant B-P Church in Perth, Western Australia. Also, several new overseas university students have begun to attend church and Youth Fellowship. Attendance at church services is now regularly over 100 people.

Covenant B-P Church Sunday School

Since the beginning of this year, the Covenant B-P’s Sunday School has consisted of four classes, Pre-Primary, Primary, Middler and Junior. In September 2011 we anticipate starting the Toddlers class, as we look forward to having more children joining the Sunday School. We thank God for the 20 children who are presently attending Sunday School every week. Occasionally we have 2 or more children who visit and attend the classes. We thank God for the Sunday School teachers, for their faithful service to the Lord in teaching God’s Word to the children. We thank God for providing the excellent Sunday School curriculum. It is our prayer that the Sunday School children will “grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.” (II Pet. 3:18).

Junior Fellowship, Covenant B-P Church

The Junior Fellowship caters to the spiritual needs of children 5 – 12 years old. Under the guidance of the leaders, the 14 children themselves play an important role in the running of the meetings as they lead in singing, pray, collect offering, etc. In the Bible lessons, various speakers have recently taught the children about regeneration, repentance, atonement, justification, sanctification and glorification. The juniors are studying the Catechism for Children, memorizing the answers to the catechism questions, and learning to apply the answers to their lives. They have started learning about the Ten Commandments. Other topics that the juniors have enjoyed are missionary biographies, such as the lives of Hudson Taylor and Amy Carmichael. For activities, they usually do crafts, and sometimes Bible quizzes, and games.

Special Speaker at Covenant Bible Institute

Recently Dr. Kevin Backus came to visit us in Perth. Dr. Backus spoke at the Covenant Bible Institute evening class on Nouthetic Counseling. This was very interesting, and the members of the congregation learned what true biblical counseling is. Dr. Backus also told us about the ministry of Rev. and Mrs. Khawl Ro Kim in Myanmar. The congregation of Covenant B-P Church supports this ministry in Myanmar through their prayers and gifts. Lord willing, some members of the congregation will go to Myanmar to help teach the Word of God.  — Rev. and Mrs. Ed Paauwe

From March 25 to April 13th, Dr. Pine returned to Australia and Singapore for ministry opportunities and to visit our missionaries, Rev. and Mrs. Ed Paauwe in Perth, Western Australia. This year the entire family was blessed by the generosity of the Covenant B-P Church, as well as many Singapore B-P churches with an opportunity to join Dr. Pine. Beginning in Singapore, Dr. Pine had the privilege of preaching at Life B-P, Maranatha B-P, and Sharon B-P, as well as conducting two seminars, “The Christian Perspective on Suffering and Bereavement” and “Growing the Covenant Family in the Fear of God.” Karen joined in both seminars, offering her personal testimony regarding cancer, as well as the role and perspective of a mother. Rev. Mark Baldwin was able to join the Pines in Singapore. It was a great time of encouragement and making of new friends and contacts for all. The Pines and Rev. Baldwin also enjoyed true Singaporean hospitality, as they sampled local cuisine and saw the beautiful city and sites. Dr. Pine’s also spoke to a mission’s class taught by Rev. Jack Sin; Rev. Baldwin shared his ministry with the class, and Karen described the type of work she does at PMU.

While Rev. Baldwin returned to Cambodia, the Pines continued to Perth, Western Australia, for ministry at the Covenant B-P Church.. While there, the Pines were blessed by many families in the church who opened their homes to them. Dr. Pine’s ministry included preaching at Covenant B-P Church as well as the Free Presbyterian Church. He also presented a seminar entitled, “Principles for Music Selection in the Church,” and joined other church members in a Christian concert. Karen, Chelsea, and Eli were given the opportunity to lead the Holiday Bible Club at Covenant B-P which was blessed with over 50 children attending. The theme for the three days was God’s power in the context of Paul’s missionary journeys. The classes looked at God’s power over opposition, in human hearts, and over Satan, demons, and false gods. Karen taught the older children, and Chelsea taught the younger. Eli helped with games and crafts. Each day also included a missionary presentation by Karen on the works of Miriam, Rev. Baldwin, and the Kims. Rev. Paauwe taught the daily Bible memory verses, and the young adults from the church led the singing. Ministering together in these various ways was a huge blessing to the Pines. They are extremely thankful for this incredible opportunity.

Oswald J. Smith once said, “The mission of the Church is missions.” Presbyterian Missionary Union was established in January of 1985 to help the Bible Presbyterian Church, General Synod, fulfill its mission. Throughout its history, the work of PMU has been focused upon advancing the testimony of Christ through the BPC. In recent years, PMU has enjoyed a growth in the number of “boots on the ground” on various mission fields around the world, for which we are grateful. Also, we have been serving as the “front door” for many folks as they explore what it means to be a Bible Presbyterian, or how to start a church.

In order to accomplish these ancillary ministries, PMU depends upon the gifts of God’s people. We especially look to local congregations of the Bible Presbyterian Church as the primary source for underwriting the work. We are also very thankful for the loving and faithful gifts of those from other branches of the Body of Christ who take part in regular giving or special projects.

The expansion of PMU’s testimony in the world has been costly, and God has been generous through his people. The work has progressed over twenty-five years to the point that now new vigor in financial and prayer support is needed to maintain the home and foreign missions efforts that have developed so well over the past few years. Still, the question begs to be asked: “Why should I support PMU?” Perhaps the best way to answer this question is through some typical stories from the fields on which we serve.

Compassion

Love for the Lost

Before coming to Christ and responding to the Lord’s call to the gospel ministry, Rev. Mark Baldwin was a successful engineer and systems analyst at GE. He left his lucrative salary and nearly all of his worldly possessions behind to travel to Cambodia in 2004 to serve some of the poorest people in the region. And he does not serve them at arm’s length from an ivory tower, but rather in their midst adopting their customs, learning their language, enjoying their food, and assisting them in their necessity in ways that encourage their dependence upon God and not men. His love for them is palpable, and it demonstrates itself in the fervor with which he applies himself to the “3-D” ministry of the gospel among them.

Love for the Church

In 2004, PMU began working with Rev. Khawlrokima to assist him in his burden to reach his native land of Myanmar with the gospel of Jesus Christ, particularly people groups that were largely passed over by other churches in the country. Starting with a house church in Yangon, the ministry has now grown in a few short years to twelve mission stations, two orphanage centers, and two preschool ministries spread across three of Myanmar’s states. The Yangon body is now a particular church with its own well-qualified elders and is actively working to evangelize the city as well as providing oversight for the mission stations. We share Kima’s passion to develop biblically qualified leadership, and regularly send professors to assist him in providing a seminary level education for the future pastors of the Bible Presbyterian Church of Myanmar.

Care

Of Resources

The world is full of incredible opportunities to minister to the spiritual and physical needs of people. Multiple requests for assistance from around the world are the norm here in the office. In many cases, it is not question of the worthiness of the project being promoted: we could spend our budget three times over and still not meet all the requests that we receive throughout any given year. But we recognize that our donors give to this agency because they entrust us to be careful in how the funds are used. Designated funds go to the designated account; every dime that is given for any particular missionary goes to that missionary’s account; great caution is taken to make sure that General Fund dollars are not squandered on items and services that do not advance PMU’s mission; accountability practices are stringently followed to maintain our financial integrity. And, we use what we have to strengthen current fields first before adding other projects, however worthy additional projects might be. When great needs arise from among our brethren in sister churches around the world, we require accountability for the use of those funds. Occasionally, some on those foreign fields take exception to our insistence of accountability; when that happens, the funds cease to go there. We will not compromise on good stewardship of the Lord’s money which is given through faithful donors.

Of Personnel

Staying aware of changing political and social “climates” in foreign lands and home mission fields is a challenge, but we take this duty seriously. Of course, the personal needs of our missionaries and church planters often shift in response to those changes. For example, on our largest field in Asia, Miriam has found that the only constant thing in that culture is change. Through the years as various crises have occurred in employment, government policy reversals, and opposition to her work, Miriam’s calls for help have been answered by changing policies to decrease Council response time, providing clearer parameters for independent action on the part of field personnel, increasing salary when necessary to meet a sudden need, simplifying reimbursements, defending her against brethren (true and false) who would undermine her labor, and making sure that connections back home stay strong. All of this along with doing what is necessary to keep bank accounts healthy enough to not only keep her on the field, but to help her thrive on the field. Caring for God’s servants is a top priority.

Commitment

To Presbyterian Government and Doctrine

In a day when church government grows increasingly congregational, PMU’s missionaries are standing firmly for the propagation of biblical church government regardless of the cost. In Western Australia, Ed Paauwe’s firm stand on Reformed faith and practice has led to the formation of a new church when his former congregation decided to follow congregational and non-Reformed practice and doctrine contrary to the church constitution. It was a painful time, but the Paauwes and the majority of the Session held firm in their commitment. Today a thriving new congregation has been established in the area and is already active in supporting missions efforts of like character in the region. We praise the Lord for their faithfulness!

Here at home, PMU is committed to operating in a functionally subordinate role to the denomination as a whole. All Council members, and all full-time missionaries, are members of the BPC General Synod as a matter of policy. We do not begin to discuss bringing a missionary or church planter on board unless they are first approved by a church Session or a regional Presbytery. We honor the discipline of the Church and will not subvert it by elevating our own goals above the courts of the Church. We work closely with our Presbyteries and local churches to identify potential church planting locations, recruit qualified workers, and provide such resources as may be useful in the pursuit of the mission of the local church. We are first and foremost a Bible Presbyterian entity that exists to aid the Synod in its appointed task of disciple-making and church planting.

To Like-minded Brethren

While it is not always possible to supply regular support for new mission fields at present, we are delighted to be able to serve the Church at large in occasional ministries that aim at edifying brethren who seek us out for training, counsel, and encouragement. For example, Dr. Pine, working with other members of the PMU Missions Council, has had the privilege of providing training in India on church government and biblical connectionalism as an aid to planting churches with a wonderful group of brethren who are the spiritual progeny of BP missions years ago. That training established a relationship of mutual help and encouragement that may eventually result in more concrete ties in the years ahead as the Lord directs. Whether it does or not, PMU has played a vital part in assisting these brethren in furthering their testimony in northern India, and for that we are thankful. Dr. Pine and other Council members have done similar work in Rwanda, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Bolivia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Peru.

Occasionally we also have the privilege of serving the larger Church among brethren in other Bible-believing bodies here in North America, and we count it a privilege to do so. Ministry visits, concerts, conference participation, and being a general resource on a broader scale is also part of fulfilling our purpose for existence.

To Vibrant, Biblical Christianity

At PMU we do not believe that it is enough to have a presence in a community without actually impacting that community. Our missionary to Bolivia, Rev. David Quisbert, demonstrates his passion for a vital and visible Church in everything that he does. His days are full of evangelism through personal contact, tract distribution, radio ministry, web presence, and youth outreach. He takes advantage of opportunities to minister to the homeless and destitute in Jesus’ name, testify of Christ to national leaders in public and private, train others to plant churches around the country, encourage like-minded brethren in their work in various parts of the city and nation without jealousy, and participate in regional ministries that bring faithful believers together from all over South America for a united testimony to the power of the gospel to save souls. All of this work is in addition to the regular pastoral care that he gives to his congregation through the various ministry efforts of the local church in La Paz.

Watching David preach Christ to the president of the country one day, and kneeling down beside a homeless beggar the next day with a plate of food and a tender urging to Christ, we are reminded of the Scriptural admonitions to be ready to boldly give account in the highest echelons of society, and to live out true and undefiled religion in ministering to the poor. In reality, we have now come full circle: this is living out compassion for the lost in ways that are tangible and genuine. We are thankful for such missionaries as these who serve in our ranks.

How Can I Help?

And so our initial question has found an answer. Compassion, care, and commitment add up to an agency that by God’s grace is endeavoring to faithfully do God’s work in the portion of the vineyard known as the Bible Presbyterian Church and its faithful “neighbors.” We are here to help you fulfill your mission. But we need your help in return.

Previous sources of income upon which we built our current efforts were, in the providence of God, unexpectedly terminated in the past year. We have cut extra expenses, trimmed back everywhere that we can while still keeping essential operations going, made regular pleas for additional funds, and still find ourselves coming up critically short. We will soon be tapping limited emergency funds just to keep current efforts going. We find ourselves in the frustrating position of being unable to expand our efforts to meet additional needs that come to our attention. So, the Lord is making it possible for us to see his wonderful provision through his people once again.

Will you be part of that provision through committing to regular contributions, especially to PMU’s General Fund and the account of our Field Director, Dr. Pine? If you already do so, either individually or through your local church, would you please consider increasing the amount that you give? Naturally, pray with us as well:

· That the Lord will provide the necessary resources;

· That he will call people to himself who love the faith “once delivered unto the saints” and want to start churches;

· That he will raise up pastors and missionaries to answer the call to serve;

· That he will preserve us through all challenges to the work.

The work of PMU is vital for the ongoing testimony of Christ through the BPC in this country and abroad. There are many organizations pleading for funds, we know. Presbyterian Missionary Union walks in a unique and committed relationship to the BPC, and in doing so makes itself useful to the larger body of Christ as well. Partnering with you in the gospel ministry is the reason we exist: may God grant that our partnership will be fruitful for Christ for the next twenty-five years. Thanks for your prayerful support.

Christmas carols are some of the best-known hymns of the Christian church. They are greatly loved by countless people in Australia. Every year, beginning some time in November and right up to the end of December, Christmas carols will be sung by groups or individuals and/or played on musical instruments.

Here in Perth, one notable event in the month of December is “Carols by Candlelight,” which is organized by some church groups to celebrate the birth of Christ. As the name indicates, it is a wonderful time to remember the coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and praise Him Who is the Light of the World. Rejoice, for God has sent His Son to be the Saviour of the world! The angel had announced, “Thou shalt call His name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins.” Matthew 1:21. Indeed, those who believe in Jesus must shine for Him and be lights in this dark world. They must proclaim the Gospel and evangelize lost souls.

In our Bible-Presbyterian Fellowship, during the month of December, we sing the Christmas carols in the worship services and in our fellowship meetings. We will have a worship service on Christmas Day in which Rev. Edward Paauwe will be preaching, and the youths will sing a hymn of praise. The Sunday School children will present a special song on the Lord’s day. The Junior Fellowship will be devoting their singspiration time to the singing and learning of Christmas carols. One of the young ones has requested to learn, “The Birthday of the King.” The faith of the Juniors will be built up by the learning and singing of the words of Scripture and the Gospel message in the Christmas carols. Each child has a copy of A Classic Christmas Caroling Songbook which has 30 well-known and favorite Christmas carols.

It is a blessing to commemorate the birth of our Saviour when we do so worshipfully and meaningfully. In the Junior Fellowship the children are taught that the birth of Christ is described in detail by the Gospel writers Matthew and Luke. The Christmas carol, “The First Noel,” portrays in vivid, narrative style the story of Jesus’ birth. They love these Bible stories, old but ever new. They know the first coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, and they are looking forward to His second coming as King of kings and Lord of lords; this is written in the last stanza of “Joy to the World!”

The Juniors also learn that the Gospel writer, John, has a Christmas message for us. In I John 5:20, John declares that Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus Christ Himself is the True God and Eternal Life. This is the significance and purpose of our praising God in celebrating the birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary, God come in the flesh, the only One Who can save us from our sins, meet our every need, and give us a home in heaven. What a glorious message of comfort, joy, hope and peace. We pray that all believers will share this Good News with the unsaved this Christmas time! “Go, Tell It on the Mountain that Jesus Christ is Born!” “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men.” Luke 2:14.

The 2008 Christmas service was so special because we celebrated Christmas together with David and Dorcas Pang, members of the BP church from Perth, Australia. Following the usual practice among the Mizo Christians, we met together at the church for the midnight service on December 24th. Before the service, we first had a time of fellowship through singing. We sang together the Christmas songs mostly composed by the Mizo in the past. There are about 100 Christmas songs composed in the Mizo traditional tune. After around three hours of singing, we began the midnight service. Mr. David Pang, our special guest, delivered the Christmas message. The midnight meeting was concluded with light refreshments.

On the Christmas day, December 25, we gathered together at the church and enjoyed the lunch fellowship prepared by the church. We then started the Christmas service at noon. The Christmas message was once again delivered by our brother David Pang.

After the service, David and Dorcas brought the orphanage children to a park where they played games together.

- Rev. Khawl and Mawite Kima

As we approach the end of 2009 and look ahead to the coming year, we rejoice in God’s provision of all that has been needed for the work of PMU thus far. In His providence, we are also experiencing the effects of the economic downturn and the challenges of being committed to serving the missionary program of a small denomination. Some of our missionaries’ accounts are doing very well indeed: we praise the Lord for the abundant support for Rev. Mark Baldwin’s work in Cambodia. The Paauwes’ support for their work in Australia is also in good shape. Our other accounts need your help and prayers. Miriam’s monthly support is about $500 under budget. The Kimas’ support is short about $350. Rev. Quisbert’s support will increase next year as the Lord provides. We currently will need an additional $600 monthly to meet the Bolivia mission needs. The General Fund is about $800 short every month. And Dr. Pine’s account is in the greatest need, averaging $1,550 below budget monthly. All support accounts currently have positive balances in them, praise the Lord, and we are able to function. But those balances are not large, and those that are running at a deficit will soon be depleted without assistance from God’s people. We have cut our budget as much as possible while still being able to carry on. Can you help? Pray with us that the Lord will provide through His people so that the vital work PMU missionaries are doing will not be hindered in the coming year. Thank you very much.
