Transforming Hearts Through Jesus Christ | 3

You may remember we began with a beautiful and organic relationship with the Rev. Dr. John Gillison (former Senior Pastor at Mother Emanuel) who guided our task force on partnership and our response. Pastor Gillison even preached at St. Michael’s receiving a standing ovation! That service was followed by a dynamic and authentic question and answer time. Tragically, just as the relationship with Pastor Gillison was gaining steam, word came of his untimely death. It was sudden and unexpected. Truthfully between his death and the transition of leadership with our Mayor and then the Pastor change at Mother Emanuel, the wind kind of vanished from our sails. Yet interestingly, the day before he died, Galatians Task Force Co-Chair Heidi Ravenel and I had been invited to Boston to attend an event sponsored by a group called Civilitas.

Civilitas is a new organization that seeks to encourage evangelicals to have important conversations about difficult topics. It was born

out of the initiative of the Rev. Doug Birdsall, former president of the American Bible Society and the Lausanne Movement. Ironically, it’s through that national organization and the Rev. Matthew Watley, that we received a fresh wind to enter a new phase of partnership with Mother Emanuel. Pastor Watley who is an AME Pastor in Maryland, introduced Heidi and me to the newly appointed Pastor at Mother Emanuel, the Rev. Betty Clark!

Heidi and I joined in on conversations between the city of Charleston and Pastor Clark regarding a series of events surrounding the the June 17 remembrance. The Galatians Task Force will meet next week and it looks like St. Michaels will host a Civilitas forum the day before the June 17 remembrance. Stay tuned for more details. Many thanks to Heidi Ravenel and Hallie Seibel’s the co-chairs of the task force and each member of the team!

Where Are We With the Galatians 3:28 Task Force on Race?

We all remember where we were on June 17, 2015 when the tragedy hit Mother Emanuel Church on Calhoun Street. On the heels of that sorrow, I set up a task force to help advise me on our immediate and continued response. I called it the Galatians 3:28 Task Force, in the spirit of St. Paul:

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, male or female you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Rector’s Summer SabbaticalThe word sabbatical comes from “Sabbath” and is a reminder that God rested from his labors in Creation and calls us to do the same. I am so very grateful to our Diocese of South Carolina that expects clergy to have a sabbatical every seven years, and I’m also grateful to St. Michael’s Church for allowing me the time and resource to be on sabbatical!

A sabbatical is not a vacation. The benefits are many:

For the Church:• An opportunity to shift into a new rhythm of life• New energy and focus • Often a unifying time where congregations realize again their

need for each other

For the Priest:• Restored rest and health• Restored family time• New energy• New ideas• Builds sustained longevity

For the Staff:• Opportunities for staff to shine

So, what will I be up to? Here is a quick look at the three chapters of our Sabbatical:

Month One: Mission and Pilgrimage• We begin on June 12 preaching for my fathers retirement

as Rector of Grace Church, Oxford Massachusetts (my 5th retirement sermon for him so far!)

• Gather around the font at the Church of the Advent on Beacon Hill in Boston with my children who will hear from their grandfather as to why as a rabbinical student in his 20’s, he converted from Judaism to Christianity.

• Participation in the St. Michael’s youth outreach mission in Boston.

• Begin our pilgrimage to Great Britain by taking our children to the place Elizabeth and I were engaged on the Isle of Skye in the North of Scotland.

• We will end this portion of our pilgrimage with extended time in Oxford England.

Month Two: Continuing Education and Studying of Best Practices• Going solo, I will take several courses at Gordon Seminary in

Hamilton, Massachusetts.• From there I will visit several churches around the country that

are what I call: Best Practice churches. Churches I think are similar in size and context to St. Michaels, and communities we can learn from.

Month Three: Writing and Reflection• Breather! This month will be dedicated to reading, writing,

reflection and the preparation to re-engage the awesome ministry of St. Michaels!

How is the Sabbatical Being Funded?One of the best practices for churches is to create a sabbatical fund so that over a seven-year period, money can accumulate to help offset some of the sabbatical costs. Many thanks to previous vestries that set this account up long ago, as well as to the current vestry who set aside some resources from this years operating account. I am also so very grateful both to my wife who knows how to get best travel deals as well as some wonderful folks who are giving us housing for free!

Bill and Caroline McFarlan in Glasgow, ScotlandOur home base while in Scotland, Bill was my intern advisor from my broadcasting days at BBC

Frances and Amy Orr-Ewing in Oxford, EnglandOur home base while in England, Frances (“Frog”) is an Anglican priest and in exchange for housing, I will be preaching at his church outside London!

Susan and Gary DiCamillo in BostonSt. Michaelites who share their time in the two great cities of Boston and Charleston!

Who Will be in Charge when I’m Gone?The Rev. Mark Avera will be in charge while I’m away, we will be in very good hands!

REUNION!Our first day back in St. Michael’s Church will be an all St. Michaelite Day at Camp St. Christopher on Saturday, September 10! Full St. Michaels Reunion! Come and bring your summer experiences as stories are shared; yours and ours!



Diocesan Conversation for Affiliation with the Anglican Church of North AmericaDuring the most recent Convention of the Diocese of South Carolina this past March, the Affiliation Task Force set an important meeting for the Charleston area churches to discuss affiliation with the Anglican Church of North America. Please join in on the conversation Thursday, May 19th at 7:00pm in the Parish Hall of Christ Church, Mt. Pleasant. Any member of St. Michael’s may attend, but only clergy, lay convention delegates, and vestry members will be granted voice during the meeting. The Diocese will send out (which we will forward) an email with answers to "Frequently Asked Questions" ahead of time to help address common concerns.

Dependency UpdateThe renovation of the Dependency (the brick house behind the Rectory), to convert it into a house of prayer continues. Our biggest challenge is moister abatement in this historic building. Our contractor Mike Martin is working with experts on making sure the moister problem is fixed before further construction moves forward.

In late April, there was a walk-through with the electrical inspector and building inspector along with the electrician to verify the needs to bring power to the building before it has been mechanically trimmed out. Once the requirements are laid out and performed there will be another inspection. Upon passing, there will be a release submitted by the building department to SCE&G. Once the release is received by SCE&G , they will schedule a connection of service date. Once the service is installed, so will the minisplits for

air circulation. They will serve as a minimum requirement before sheet rock is put up. Moisture readings are currently still over the limits for sheet rock installation. Please continue to pray that this building would dry out and be ready for occupation and much needed ministry!

F R O M T H E C L E R G Y

My brother in-law is a missionary to India. He is supported by dozens of churches across the country, but one church not in the country particularly sticks in my mind. It is a small church of about 100 people in Man-O-War Cay (Abaco region of the Bahamas), but they have a big heart for missions and have really grasped some tangible ways to encourage the missionaries they support. Each year, this church flies in its missionaries for the purpose of encouragement and refreshment – the church is taking care of the missionaries in other words, not making them work all weekend for an honorarium. This church takes care of all expenses for the weekend, gives each missionary couple their own private cottage or house (with golf cart for transportation – the island is small), takes the women to the spa or shopping for clothes, and gives each missionary couple $1000 at the end of the weekend. On at least one occasion, this church has purchased a car for one of their supported missionary families. The conference itself is geared toward equipping and supporting and those who have given themselves to serving on the mission field. As I’m sure you can imagine, my brother in-law and his wife look forward to this conference as one of the highlights of the year.

I mention this for two reasons. The first one is simple and straightforward – I wonder what we at St Michael’s can do to tangibly encourage our missions partners, especially when they are here visiting in Charleston. Something to think about.

But the other reason I mention this church is because (for some strange reason – just the way my brain works) it reminds me of the Macedonian churches Paul mentions in his second letter to the Corinthian church. Just as that little church in the Bahamas challenges and inspires me, so does the Macedonian church I read about in Paul’s letter. There he writes, “We want you to know, brothers, about the grace of God that has been given among the churches of Macedonia, for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part. For they gave according to their means, as I can testify,

and beyond their means, of their own accord, begging us earnestly for the favor of taking part in the relief of the saints – and this, not as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then by the will of God to us.” (2 Corinthians 8:1-5)

I don’t know about you, but I find that amazing. This was a group of Christians in a severe affliction and yet they had abundant joy. They were extremely impoverished and yet they gave an overflowing wealth of generosity (the modifiers are Paul’s, not mine). And they saw their giving as a privilege – it was a favor to them to allow them

to take part in helping relieve others. Crazy, huh? I wonder what sacrifices they had to make to give so generously. And because I get irritable when I miss a meal, their example challenges me. Okay – it convicts me too.

It is fascinating how Paul uses the Macedonian’s example to spur on the Corinthian church. He really lays it on thick. He in effect says, “Look at the Macedonians. They have nothing compared to you. And since you excel in every other area (faith, speech, knowledge, earnestness), you should excel in this gracious giving too. It would be a discredit to you if weren’t at least as generous as they have been…. And besides, I have been boasting to everyone about what a great church you

are. Don’t prove me wrong by being stingy.” Or something like that. Read chapter 8 of 2 Corinthians. More importantly than the example of other churches, Paul reminds us of the example of Christ, who though rich became poor for our sakes – that we might become rich. I wonder what St Michael’s will be known for 20 years from now. Our solid faith? Good preaching? A beautiful building? A passion for missions? A wealth of generosity given for the relief and encouragement of others? I wonder…

—The Rev. Mark Avera

Festival of Faith Annual Meeting

4 KEY REASONS TO ATTEND FESTIVAL OF FAITH/ANNUAL MEETING

The Festival of Faith is about two things: First, it’s a celebration of the movement of God during the previous year at St. Michaels.

Where did we see hearts transformed? Secondly, it’s about gathering to elect a new season of leaders including vestry

members, diocesan convention delegates and a junior warden. This is a must attend event for St. Michaelites!


Has St. Michael’s blessed you?Has St. Michael’s disappointed you?Do you have a vision for St. Michael’s you long to see realized?Are you curious to know how the history of St. Michael’s is shaping the present?Would you like to see St. Michael’s flourish as the church God is calling it to be?

Don’t miss this historic moment in the life of our church.

The Rev. Dr. Russ Parker was director of the Acorn Christian Healing Foundation from 1995-2013 and was responsible for developing partnerships on listening and reconciliation in 12 nations ranging from Rwanda, Burundi, Hong Kong to the United States. Russ is now the director of Healing Wounded Churches which exists to help churches to resolve and heal their legacies of unhealed stories and their issues and move forward in a renewed ability to flourish as God intends. Russ is the author of a number of books and travels extensively around the UK and abroad, lecturing and teaching in issues connected with Christian Healing and Healthcare, Reconciliation and Church Transformation.

In that day I will restore David’s fallen shelter – I will repair its broken walls and restore its ruins and will rebuild it...

Vestry NewsAt its March 31 meeting, the Vestry finalized the establishment of the Mary B Wilson Repair Fund. This fund will be used to fund capital repairs and improvements to our historic church building and its extended campus. Funding will come from 1% of the annual budget and funds given to St Michael’s annually by the Foundation Fund of the St Michael’s Church Declaration of Trust and from other gifts s o designated.

At its April 21 meeting, the Vestry finalized plans for the annual Festival of Faith, and continued discussions on completing the repair and renovation of the Dependency. It also made the first of two required votes to amend the by-laws to allow for the addition of an Assistant Solicitor and an Assistant Treasurer. The Vestry was encouraged not only to attend but also to encourage the congregation to attend the May 7 Conference on Restoration with the Rev Dr Russ Parker.

ADMINISTRATIONStaff TransitionsWe are pleased to announce that Brittany Gordon, our recent Information Specialist that you have seen at the front desk of the office or heard answering the phone, is joining the Rev Rich Giersch as the Assistant for Student Ministry. Brittany has a passion for discipling teenage girls and young women and has been volunteering with Rich for months. The fruit of her ministry has been evident and we are thrilled that her ministry will be expanding. This is the ideal model for youth ministry – having a man and a woman serving together to mentor all of our youth in all of life. Please welcome Brittany to her new ministry position and let her share some of her passion with you.

With Brittany transitioning to youth ministry, we are equally delighted to announce that Catherine Bowen is stepping into the position of Information Specialist. Catherine has been a longtime dedicated volunteer with Vicki Vazquez in our Communication department.

Easter Caroling?Every Christmas, carolers visit residences and sing songs to spread Christmas cheer.

These carols originated as liturgical texts that were sung by the cler-gy in Latin for the season, later made accessible to the laity. Car-ols did not only apply to Advent and Christmas, but to Epiphany, Easter, Ascension and Pentecost! Each liturgical season had its own carols. Therefore, in the Middle Ages, Easter caroling was very much as vibrant and alive as Christmas caroling is today.

Unfortunately, with the secularization of society and the “deliturgiz-ing” of American Christianity, the once popular Easter caroling has been lost along with the emphasis on Easter as the “feast of feasts” and the most important day of the year. Still, people flock to church at Christmas and Easter, but the joy that once accompanied Easter-tide has unfortunately been waning.

Therefore, in an attempt to sustain the exuberance and joy that li-turgically accompanies Eastertide, St. Michael’s church choir went Easter caroling! We started at the church after the 6pm service and went around the neighborhood singing to people at their houses, and walking by on the street. Some were definitely confused as to what we were doing, but most were pleasantly surprised to find out that we were simply spreading Easter joy. Furthermore, we had the opportunity to share with people the significance of Christ’s resur-rection from the dead. We truly have a reason to celebrate!

There was one woman in particular, whom we met in her driveway, that was particularly moved by the occasion. We asked her if we

could sing an Easter carol. She replied, “Well, this is definitely a first for me.” We sang, “Now the green blade riseth”, which is sung to the same tune as “Now we sing of Christmas”. Afterwards, she told us that she had just come home from visiting her dying mother, and that simply hearing us sing of Christ’s resurrection was particularly uplifting to her. She thanked us and went inside as a few members of our choir suggested that we take a minute and pray for her and for her mother. I walked away, thinking, “If all we did was minister to her, it was worth it.”

That night was definitely a success, and I hope that next year, you can all join us.

Coptic ServiceFather Anthony Zaki, a priest of the Coptic Orthodox Church, shepherds his flock, St. Mark’s Coptic Church of Myrtle Beach, SC, but travels once a month to Charleston, SC to do services for those mem-bers of his congregation that for various reasons are unable to make the trek to Myrtle Beach. They were meeting at another local church, but due to various logistical and financial concerns were unable to continue with those plans. Therefore, concomitant with our interest in aiding the persecuted church, St. Michael’s has graciously offered the use of our facilities once a month. One Saturday morning a month they will be holding services in the chapel. They generally meet on the second Saturday of the month, but it is subject to change contingent on their needs and St. Michael’s needs. Their services generally go from 8:30am to 12. The people are welcoming and inviting and if anyone would like to see what worship is like in Egypt, you are more than welcome to visit. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at [email protected].

Time flies when you are having fun! Our Spring Alpha wrapped up with a wonderful Celebration evening on Tuesday, April 5th. This evening provided a wonderful opportunity to see first hand how the course has impacted the lives of those that took the course. Judy & Bill Biggie transformed the Kinloch Room into a colorful celebration setting while Todd Scofield of Sandlapper Events completed the scene with a gorgeous (and yummy) array of appetizers.

After social time we moved to the Sanctuary for worship and a live talk from Rev. Al - ‘Why and How Do We Tell Others?’, testimonies from Spring Alpha participants and a time of recognition of our Spring Alpha Team. David Gilkeson, our Spring Director handed the baton to Matt and Whitney Ozment, our Fall 2016 Directors, to talk about Fall 2016 Alpha and encourage guests to sign-up and for others to join the Fall team.

The entire evening was wonderful; however, the testimonies from our Spring Alpha team & participants, Logan Bryan, Belinda Hrivnak, Henry and Christy Cabaniss, Flora Cain-Jenkins, Claire Gatlin, and Margaret Roberts were the highlight. They shared from the heart about how Alpha had touched their lives in a special way and we were blessed that they were comfortable enough to share with everyone. I know my eyes were filled with tears as they gave their testimonies

A special thank you to David Gilkeson for doing an outstanding job as our Spring Alpha Director and a thank you to our Spring Alpha team for doing an amazing job each and every week!

Sidewalk Advocates for Life TrainingAre you interested in a peaceful, prayerful method of reaching out to women and men entering the abortion facility and encouraging them to choose life? If so, Sidewalk Advocates for Life training is for you! This new "sidewalk counseling" program employs a com-passionate, woman-centered approach to take the crisis out of crisis pregnancies and thereby save babies' lives. This is not about judg-ing women: the program focuses instead on extending Christ's love through education, conversation, and practical help (i.e. connecting women to local pregnancy centers for further support).

The next two-day training session will be held at Blessed Sacrament Church in West Ashley on Friday, April 29th, from 6:30 to 10 PM and Saturday, April 30th, from 1 PM to 5 PM. Registration (payable at the door) is $15 and includes course materials and refreshments. The only pre-requisites are a humble desire to reach out in love and a willingness to donate two hours a month of volunteer outreach time "on the sidewalk" at the abortion clinic after training is completed.

To register, please email Anne at [email protected]. More information on the Sidewalk Advocates for Life program can also be found at sidewalkadvocates.org.

ABCs of Family Discipleship—Count the CostThen Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow

me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. (Matthew 16:24-25 ESV)

”

D I S C I P L E S H I P T R U T H : Jesus often surprised His disciples by giving them tasks that they felt incapable of performing. To expand their faith and commitment, He s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d their comfort zones. This stretching process helps believers overcome complacency, apathy, and lethargy. Afterwards, they are equipped to achieve more than previously thought possible (Matthew 16:24-25; Philippians 4:19).

T R U E S T O R Y : Kyle and his wife, Bree, knew that Jesus often rose early in the morning to pray. They believed that the first hours of each day were “prime time” to shape their hearts and thoughts. They read business testimonials of entrepreneurs who benefitted from morning routines. Still, Kyle and Bree struggled to get up early. Mornings were Kyle’s least favorite time. In addition, the needs of three small children often meant sleepless nights!

The couple earnestly wanted to develop the discipline of arising early to meet with the Lord, so they decided to fight through the obstacles. As soon as they made the commitment, however, setbacks appeared from every direction: fitful nights of sleep, forgetting to set the alarm, family sicknesses, etc. Kyle lamented, “Surely it can’t be this difficult to have a simple quiet time!” The couple refused to give up. After a month, the obstacles became less frequent and formidable. Their discipline and intentionality was paying off!

As Kyle and Bree met regularly with God each morning, they felt better equipped for each day. Kyle had been prone to frustration with a co-worker; now his fuse was growing longer. Bree had often battled with discouragement; now her perspective was steadier. They had often found reasons to complain about minor concerns; now their thoughts frequently turned to God’s provision.

On some mornings, the snooze button was still very tempting. Yet Kyle and Bree had learned that their personal appointment with God brought far more value than an extra hour of sleep. At first, the sacrifice felt insurmountable and the sleep loss seemed almost foolish. However, the couple soon saw that the benefits far outweighed the cost. Kyle and Bree were now a living testament to this truth—intentional time with God in the mornings (and a cup of coffee!) makes anything possible!

A C T I O N S T E P : Every Christian must embrace the rigors of discipleship. Are you ready to reconsider the cost and rewards of following Christ?

• Begin by “dying daily” to your own interests.

• Invite the Lord Jesus to live His resurrected life in and through you.

• As God s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-s you, look for new opportunities to serve. You will experience a higher level of ability to do so.

• Your child will observe your renewed zeal and be encouraged to follow your example.

• Embark on your ascent toward a new summit today—for the glory of God!

A C T I O N

I hope we are in agreement that the most important aim in youth ministry is fruit—real, solid, true fruit. In youth ministry this can be seen in a number of ways: love, discipleship, conversion, the development of long-term followers of Jesus, the list goes on and on.

However, there is another list of fruit that I must warn you is unhelpful. The trouble with this kind of fruit is that it looks so tasty and tempting. This is the “fruit” of numbers. Numbers are so intoxicating and attractive. Think about it, would you visit a youth ministry of 12 youth or 42 youth to observe and learn from? Most would pick the latter. Bigger is seen to be better in our churches and in our youth ministry. I must warn you that we must be very careful about seeking to plant and grow a crop of harmful fruit. This is a crop that, while it may appear tasty, will leave a very sour taste in your mouth.

Let’s consider an obvious example, you work for a church that expects you to “put something on” each Friday night for the local youth in the area. You know the drill; it is the usual assortment of games with a short message about Christ, followed by a snack. This has been the tree planted by of youth ministry all over the Western World. Well, imagine that you are running this program and you have a good number of youth showing up. Everyone is happy and your job is secure. Now think about what happens if the kids stop coming. They get bored, they grow up, they move on, who knows why … the numbers simply dry up

Suddenly the “fruit” (that is, kids coming and having a good time) is gone. What happens next? Does the church decide that it is time to plant another tree? Nope, they decide to get rid of the farmer and

bring one in who can raise up more of this Friday night fun fruit. Many, many youth leaders have felt the bad taste of a plant that they never should have planted and certainly should not have tended.

This fruit demands that the farmer keep producing the same results, numbers. Is this the picture of a healthy youth ministry? A youth ministry that is built on Biblical foundations? If you are this farmer, there is reason for you to have some degree of fear as this fickle fruit (numbers, especially numbers due to a social program) is not one that will “keep you healthy on the inside”. It is time to cut that tree down and sow a new crop.

Remember, we must aim for a garden that produces true fruit. And, one that doesn’t eventually devour the gardener. Colossians 1:9-11

Youth Mission to BostonSt. Michael's Open Door High School ministry will be heading to Boston June 11-17th. We will be joining YWAM (Youth With A Mission) Boston to receive teachings on evangelism, missions, and apologetics as well as have times of worship and prayer. Our high schoolers will be equipped to share their faith and will be given a variety of outreach opportunities during the week. These opportunities to share the Gospel will include: Street Evangelism in a local neighborhood, Prayer walks, Prayer stations, Kids club/VBS in low income housing areas and worship in a public areas. Of course we will make time fun and even hope to make it to a Boston Red Sox's game. We look forward to sharing all that God will do during our time in Boston! Peace Rich & Britt

Specific dates and times to be forthcoming.

Life Groups – grow in your understanding and experience of Jesus’ healing ministry by taking this class together as a life group!

TestimonyFor most of my adult life I wondered how it must have felt to be one of Jesus' 12 disciples. Sitting at the feet of the master, living history as it unfolded and of course witnessing the healing power of God Almighty in person.

A few years ago, after completing the Alpha Course at St. Michael's my heart was set on digging deeper into my faith. I studied and attended several extraordinary courses that did a wonderful, if not blessed job of introducing and indoctrinating me on the subject of discipleship. But I always felt that I was missing something, something that would further open my heart and my mind to the love of the Lord.

At about the same time I was searching for this missing something, my friend Paul Lankau began asking Jean Corbett about the OSL course. I had never heard of the OSL course but when Jean and Paul informed me that it was an in depth study of the healing miracles of the Lord Jesus Christ, I immediately signed up.

The next thing I knew, I was immersed in an environment where 40 new friends and I were learning the who, what, where and when of God's healing power here on earth. Through discussion with my OSL classmates and the wonderful teachings of Johnnie and Jean -

this study truly changed the way I viewed the power of prayer and opened my eyes to the reality that God absolutely, positively, still heals today!

St. Michaels Church on God’s Mission in KenyaIn response to Rev. Simon Mwaura’s visit at this year’s GIC, St. Mi-chaels Church is sending two groups of people serving as four dis-tinct mission teams to Kenya this summer:

1. June 7-25 Team to Nyahururu, Kenya to launch the Alpha pro-gram, and to train leaders in an innovative Vacation Bible School curriculum which will benefit the 40 churches of God’s Grace for All Nations (GGFAN) and three orphanages which care for 100+ chil-dren. St. Michaelite Team Member Going: Nena Jackson

2. July 7-22 Team to Nyahururu, Kenya to teach inductive Bible study techniques and personal wellness strategies to 50 village pas-tors in the GGFAN Pastors’ Bible School. This Team will also follow up on the work that the June 7-25 Team did to be sure the leaders are able to implement the training they received. We will also begin a relationship with Rev. Mwaura’s leadership team and board of di-rectors. St. Michaelite Team Members Going: Lori & Ellie Moore

3. July 7-22 Teams 3 & 4 to Karisia and Wamba Divisions of Sam-buru County, Kenya to experience the work of the Samburu Coun-ty Nkalup Vision (SCNV) in planting 1,000 churches serving 50,000 people so Samburu County will become a reached people group. These teams will travel over almost impassable terrain to 18 villages where Nkalup Preaching Points have been established in the last 4 years, resulting in approximately 900 new Christians. We will be commissioning new buildings constructed from lodge poles and iron sheets which will be used for worship, schools, and medical clinics. We will be learning from the 16 board members of SCNV, who will be traveling with us for the 10 days we are in Samburu County. Our hosts for these two teams includes Anglican Bishop of Samburu The Rev. Jacob A. Lesuuda and The Rev. Simon and Lucy Mwaura of GGFAN-Kenya.

St. Michaelite Team Members Going: Nancy HarwickRay HardwickBetsy HendersonBill JohnsonDan PolonJennifer PolonCharles WaringSusan Waring

We expect the Holy Spirit to impact our SMC Teams through cross-cultural encounters, resulting in transformed hearts for Jesus who will become more effective witnesses for Jesus in Charleston and beyond. We will be learning how to make followers of Jesus in challenging areas where the people learn through stories and songs, not books. We will learn how these Kenyans live in remote areas where there are no paved roads, no safe drinking water, and little access to primary education. We will get to know village leaders who provide for their people where there are almost no resources for community development and church planting. We hope to develop lasting relationships which we intend to continue when we return to our home culture, so that cross-cultural learning by our Team mem-bers can continue while in Charleston. We are praying that we be-come wholly Acts 1:8 Christians who are simultaneously witnesses for Jesus in “Jerusalem AND Judea AND Samaria AND the Ends of the Earth”, not just Kenya.

We request the congregation intercede in prayer for our safe travels to some difficult areas; for safe food and drinking water; that our Western culture will not prevent our Kenyan hosts from seeing Jesus in us; that we will be good listeners and learners; and that we will re-enter our home culture able to clearly communicate to our families, friends, and the church what we have seen our Lord do in our hearts and those of our hosts.

In early March, Onesphore Manirakizza, one of our most beloved partners from Burundi, visited Charleston, at both St. Michael's and at James Island Christian Church. It was wonderful to see him, and encouraging to hear from him how the situation in Burundi has evolved.

As many know, after the presidential elections there last spring, political tension rose sharply, and violence broke out. Many Burundians, fearing for their safety and their families, fled to neighboring Rwanda, Tanzania and the Congo. A coup was attempted, and failed, but the opposition continued serious unrest. We prayed continuously for our friends, our partners, their staffs and families, asking God to protect them and bring peace.

Onesphore reported that, despite rumors and lurid news reports, the situation in Burundi had settled down significantly, and such problems as remained were concentrated in some neighborhoods of the capital Bujumbura, especially the northern suburbs. Given the very high unemployment rate, perhaps above 60%, not surprising.

We think that God has indeed protected our friends there, not one has suffered injury, and He has prevented a simmering situation from boiling over into ethnic war between tribes, or even general fighting, perhaps repeating the conflict that ended in 2005. The government seems to have gotten substantially all of the opposition under control. In fact, he invited us to send a mission there, which we are planning for September.

In the meantime, we ask St. Michael's to keep Burundi, her citizens and especially our friends and partners, and their families in our prayers.
