2 Hartland ministry report | Apr.-May 2009

Patriotic insignia flooded the cold streets of Washington, D.C.

Policemen, security guards, and heli-copters swarmed around the Lincoln Memorial. Over 400,000 people from around the world assembled on January 18, 2009, to attend a concert entitled “We Are One.” Thousands were excited about the impending in-auguration of the United States’ first African-American president. A thrill of hope was in the air!

Hartland staff and students were also there, not to enjoy Bono and Renee Fleming, but to take advan-tage of this spirit of hope by passing out Last Generation magazines: “The Perfect Economic Storm” and “Back to Basics.” This spirit made possible a day of notable progress for God’s

truth. “This was the most receptive group of people I’ve ever seen,” said Brian Beavers, Hartland’s outreach coordinator.

Nathan, a student who partici-pated, recalls an experience he had. “I noticed a group of teenagers dressed in black. Even their make-up and dyed hair were black. I thought they would never accept this magazine, so I was surprised that one of the girls in the group took it. As she walked toward a trash can, I thought, She is going to throw it away. I prayed for the Lord to impress their hearts to read these precious truths. She then passed the trash can, sat down, and began reading. As she read intently, her friends looked curiously over her shoulder. Then I knew that the Lord

was working not only on them, but also on all the people who received the Last Generation magazines.”

The Lord blessed the efforts of His servants. “It’s amazing how God can use strangers who initially didn’t plan on passing out literature,” said Bogdan, a student. Eva, another student, describes her experience. “As I handed out the magazines, two women approached me asking, ‘Could we have a couple of maga-zines to pass out?’ I decided to give her all the magazines in my hands. I wouldn’t have given that stack to her if I hadn’t seen how sincere she was. I know she gave out all the magazines.”

God used this secular event to further His cause. While many who attended had that spirit of hope we mentioned earlier, many were also apprehensive about our current economic crisis. Sharing this truth-

filled literature at this event couldn’t have been timelier. The group succeeded in passing out about 9,000 Last Generation magazines in only four hours. Bradley (age 13) exclaimed, “It’s fun to share the gospel. If you haven’t experienced it, I advise you to give it a try!”v

Geraldine Barlip was one of five health guests who participated in the first

18-day session at Hartland’s new Lifestyle Education Center (LEC). “I knew about Hartland and its lifestyle program a long time ago, and I had wanted to come for years,” she says, “but it never worked out until now.”

Geraldine had been battling high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and diabetes—all stemming from her weight problem. “I had a lot of anxiety because I thought I needed to be everything to everyone. I finally figured out that I can’t help anybody else unless I help myself.” She knew she needed to exercise, but her sedentary job made it difficult. Hartland’s lifestyle education pro-gram provided the perfect opportunity.

At first, Geraldine’s body rebelled at the new exercise routine. Every muscle in her body screamed, “What are you doing to me?” But Geraldine is no quitter. She

persevered, and the more she exercised, the better she felt. By the end of the session, she had lost 11 pounds, and according to her, that was “just a start.” “Now I have an exercise plan,” she says. “I’m not going to sit and think about it; I’m just going to do it.”

Her blood glucose and cholesterol levels also went down, as well as her anxiety. “I just love it here. Everybody’s so loving, car-ing, and attentive. I’m not stressed anymore. I feel much stronger and more able to handle things. I’ve got a lot of cookbooks and easy, delicious recipes now, so I’ll be cooking more.”

Perhaps most importantly, Geraldine was spiritually energized. “Because of all these things that I had before—my stress, my being overwhelmed, and everything else, the Lord was just pushed to the side. He was in my heart, but not in my mind. But now I’ve learned to put Him first, and I’ve gotten much closer to Him. I thank God for that.” v

“Hartland is to me what the school of the prophets was to the

children of Israel,” says Dennis Ng, a ‘93 graduate of Hartland College. “The best thing Hartland did to prepare me for my ministry was to convince me that the Bible must be my only rule of faith and practice, and the basis of all my labor.”

God has blessed Dennis since he graduated from Hartland sixteen years ago. On January 17 of this year, he was ordained as a minister of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Malaysia, where he works as a pastor. “I am a church pastor under denominational employ,” Pastor Ng explains, “and I also coordinate the Spirit of Prophecy Ministry for our mission.”

Pastor Ng fondly recalls his time at

Hartland. “All my memories of Hartland are good,” he told us. “I really appreciated the sincerity of each staff and student, and their desire to follow God’s will.”

To exemplify his experience he told us this story: “I was planning a solo evangelistic trip to the Philippines. It would be my first public evangelistic effort. I had started school late that quarter and would have to leave before finals. Every day, I was in bed by 8:30 or 9 pm and up by 3 or 3:30 am. The mornings were great because I spent time with God, did my assignments, got ready for my finals ahead of time, and prepared 17 doctrinal messages plus de-votionals for the Philippines trip. That quarter must have been my best.

“Thank God, I managed, and before I left campus, I went to the dorm to wish my fellow students goodbye. Steve, one of the juniors, asked the rest to gather around and pray for me. As they filed out for classes, each shook my hand, as-suring me that God would go with me. I knew then that I was among family.”

Pastor Ng wholeheartedly believes that God used Hartland as a tool to ready him for his work. “It is God alone who makes the difference in our lives. Hartland can only be the instrument in God’s hands. At that defining mo-ment in my life, Hartland was the right place for me to be. It was God who led, opened doors, and financed my studies.”

Brooke Grall, an ‘08 graduate from California, has returned to Hartland to help us send our Lifestyle Education Center (LEC) into full swing. “I was visiting in the area for a couple of months, and I was asked to come back, so I did,” she relates. “I’ll be working at Hartland for a couple of months until June.” Brooke is the female therapist for LEC, and is also a cooking class instructor.

Brooke treasures her time at Hartland—perhaps that’s why she’s back. “We have many different ways of ministering with the Lifestyle Education Center, the media center, and the college. This is one thing I appreciate about Hartland—they use everything they can to help others,” Brooke says. She is inspired by the knowledge that whatever you do, “you are doing it for Christ, ultimately.” We are already encouraged by her dedication. Welcome to the team, Brooke!

Rodney Millin, ‘97, was recently ordained in Zimbabwe.

“Hartland,” Pastor Ng concludes, “made a difference in my character and kindled in me a quiet confidence in my God.” As Pas-tor Ng put it, Hartland is an instrument in the hand of God, and we rejoice to see the abundant fruit of this tool’s work. We wish Pastor Ng God’s blessings as he labors in his new role in the field.

Dennis Ng is not the only Hartland graduate to have recently been ordained to the gospel ministry. We also have good news about Rodney Millin, a ’97 graduate serving in the turbulent country of Zimbabwe, who has just been ordained by the Central Zimbabwe Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist church. His ordination ceremony took place November 22, 2008, at the Windsor Park Church in Zimbabwe. We

invite you to pray for Pastor Millin as he continues in his service for the Master’s glory.

Besides being an ordained minister, Pastor Millin wears many hats. He is Multicultural Ministries Director, Conference Evangelist, and Sabbath School Director for the Central Zimbabwe Conference, as well as father. Married in 1999 to Charlotte Narsi, he now has two children, Jessica and Jeffrey.v

“You’re going to be challenged at Hart-land.” Aaron Baker makes no bones

about it as he advises prospective students. “Expect to be pushed to another level.” Do you have what it takes?

“If God is calling you to leadership, Hartland College is where you should be,” Pastor Baker goes on. “You don’t just come to Hartland to learn to give Bible studies. That has a role, but what makes Hartland differ-ent is that this institution trains leaders. You will have a desire not only to learn the Bible, but also to use it practically to finish the work.”

Hartland has a distinc-tive curriculum to ensure that both of these things happen—that Hartland graduates will both know their Bibles and how to apply them to God’s work. “Here are the tools that you need to have,” explains Pastor Baker, refer-ring to Hartland’s program. “You will have a much more thorough understanding of the Scriptures if you use these tools correctly.” Once you have the tools, Hartland gives you direction with classes such as Principles of Self-Supporting Work. “This is where you

will learn how to be a leader and how to establish a ministry which should become a light,” continues Pastor Baker. “Wherever you are in the vineyard, you should be a light.” Through programs like “Lord, Send Me,” Hartland helps its students establish their place in God’s service even after graduation.

The challenges that face a Hartland stu-dent also have potential to make him/her a

better worker for God. “The number one way for God to reveal His will to you is for you to grow. And you cannot grow if you don’t have trials,” explains Pastor Baker. “That’s why we encourage students to stay the course. You may have a rough quar-

ter, but this will help God reveal His will. Endurance, prayer, and consistent devotions cannot be neglected at Hartland.”

This education bears fruit. Giancarlo de Miranda, a senior Pastoral Evangelism major, says of his experience, “I see major changes in my life. I only wish I had applied myself even more so that God could have done an even greater work in me.”

On January 13, 2009, an unsung hero of God’s people went to sleep in Jesus. Be-

cause of Sister Griffith’s devotion to children’s programs at Hartland camp meetings, we would like to share a short tribute to her.

Beulah, born in Portland, Oregon, August 11, 1921, married Mode Griffith, February 20, 1945. She lived in McMinnville, Oregon for many years.

In 1952, Beulah began working with chil-dren in the Sabbath School programs of her church. In 1989 she was invited to present her children’s programs in seminars on Christian education and homeschooling. She also be-came in demand at various camp meetings.

Overcoming her fear of flying, Beulah came year after year to Hartland Institute’s summer camp meetings, where she did a wonderful work teaching primary-age children Bible truths in a way they could understand. Many children, now grown, who have attended our camp meetings, remember Mrs. Griffith fondly.

Though the Griffiths never were able to have their own children, through her minis-try she captured a special place in the hearts of children. Even during her declining years she would record story tapes that she sent to

children whom she loved. Beulah was a very social person. One only

had to be in her presence for a short time to know that she had two great passions—her love for God and her love for teaching children the great messages of God’s word. She also derived great satisfaction in sharing food and friendship with the needy.

A few years ago, Beulah’s health began to fail and she was unable to continue to visit Hartland. We have missed her faithful ministry to our children.

While touring the Northwest in December 2008, the Three Angels’ Chorale visited Sister Griffith and sang at her assisted living center. She spoke about her failing health and thanked us for taking time to see her. It was the last time Beulah would see her Hartland friends. But her faith in God was strong, and we can rest assured that the Jesus she shared with children so warmly and passionately will be the first person she sees on resurrection morning. v

A Tribute to Beulah Griffith

Pastor Baker concludes, “Don’t expect to see your understanding of Christianity here. Expect to be challenged in what it means to be a Christian. Expect to grow. Hartland is here to train young people based on the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy so that they can repro-

duce this training, whether it’s by establishing strong churches or ministries, by being solid teachers, or by publishing God-filled literature that teaches truth in love.” Is this your dream? Perhaps you should be a Hartland student! v

Remember “Lord, Send Me” (LSM), a project that sponsors Hartland

students in ministry? We introduced it in the December/January issue of Hartland Ministry Report. Then, we were still looking for our first project. Director Nancy Car-mouche confesses, “My idea of a ‘first project’ was very conservative. I pictured a health major opening a modest clinic, selling herbs, and giving treatments in a back bedroom. The Lord had other ideas.”

He certainly did. He had in mind a mis-sionary training school in Brazil, pioneered by Hartland student Giancarlo de Miranda and three students of Taquara Institute. This is SETI—the Santos Evangelistic Training Institute, located 9 hours north of Taquara.

“We want young people to develop a mis-sionary mind,” Giancarlo de Miranda, ’10, outlines goals for SETI. “We hope to see colporteurs, Bible workers, and medical mis-sionaries going to remote parts of Brazil to establish churches and plant seeds of truth.”

Miracles have fueled this project. Before Giancarlo and the Taquara students even met, they already yearned to start a school. “When I arrived last winter break to preach at Taquara’s camp meeting, Erich Assuncao (now interning at Hartland) shared his vision to establish a missionary training school,” Giancarlo tells us. “I shared with Erich the ideas I’d implement if it were my ministry. As we continued to talk, we realized we had the same burden.”

This was only the beginning of miracles. Giancarlo continues, “God opened doors in many churches and inspired members to help us.” Locals began to get excited. “SETI is the answer to our prayers,” exclaimed Albani, member of Vila Velha SDA church. Three people have even offered to give land to expedite SETI’s startup!

“‘Lord, Send Me’, itself, was another evi-dence of God’s leading,” reflects Giancarlo. “Both projects, although unknown to each other, arose simultaneously.”

The team hopes to start the school January 2011, but they are already busy. “We have been holding meetings in the United States, Brazil, and Canada,” explains Giancarlo. “We also have CDs and DVDs containing the Three Angels’ Messages that all of those who request can receive.”

SETI is the perfect first project for LSM. Giancarlo says, “SETI has the same goal as LSM—to make disciples and multiply the truth, thus hastening the Second Coming.” LSM will ensure that SETI makes a solid start by helping with fundraising, mentor-ing, establishing a board, accounting, etc. We can only handle this big project with your prayers and support. Won’t you join us on our exciting journey? v

To support SETI, make your check out to Hartland and write “SETI” in the memo. To contact SETI, email [email protected]. Watch for more about SETI in future HMRs.

Beautiful churches always enthrall me, and this one was no exception. It had

everything—buttresses, stone, stained glass, trussed ceilings, and engaging charm. Was this an ancient cathedral somewhere in Eu-rope? No! It was a Seventh-day Adventist church in Hyattsville, Maryland, complete with Adventist stained glass including the image of Daniel 2 and the Three Angels’ Messages. Who was responsible for such an exquisite place of worship?

Shortly before the Great Depression began, a new associate editor came to the Review & Herald by the name of F. D. Nichol. Elder Nichol was a man of enthusiasm and energy, and to be merely the associate editor of the denomination’s most prominent paper was not enough. He wanted to throw himself into some real soul-winning work. So he gathered a team to run an evangelistic crusade in nearby Hyattsville, Maryland, an area known for its opposition to the Seventh-day Adventist truth.

Thirteen people were baptized in the series, and, rather than transfer them to

nearby congregations, Elder Nichol felt that God

was calling him to build a monument to the truth in dark Hyattsville. He decided to build a church fitting of the cause, debt-free. This might not sound like a difficult task, but by now the darkest days of the Great Depression were upon them. Nichol knew that this work would require patience and a blessing from God, so while they raised funds for the building, the company rented the Masonic Temple and held services.

After several years of fundraising, the con-gregation raised $25,000 (about $350,000 today) to build their church, and Nichol made sure they used it wisely. In 1939, after seven years of fundraising and building, the Hyattsville SDA church opened at a total cost of $24,998.75—a dollar and a quarter under budget. And it wasn’t a dingy, dilapi-dated building. It was a beautiful structure, built to last and to glorify God.

The church and the health center Elder Nichol built beside it still stand today as a tes-timony to what those who are ambitious for the Master’s glory can do, even in the midst of grave financial duress. And today a commit-ted, diverse group of Bible-believing Chris-tians worships in the gorgeous stone church.

Just as in Elder Nichol’s day, we face challenging times. This is all the

more opportunity to see the hand of God work. What are you

ambitious about? What do you want to do for the Master’s glory? v

A. Mark Bruno, the director of Media Services, did receive authorization from the Hartland Board of Directors to seek to set up and operate a radio station in our local area. However, it is not presently operating.

Q. What is holding up this project?

A. That question requires a long answer. The application was filed on time with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), along with the application fee. Hartland was awarded “points” for various aspects of our application, such as the fact that we are an educational institution, we have been here for more than three years, and we do not currently own any other stations. We had more points than most of the other applicants, so, without further regulatory difficulties, we should have been granted a station construction permit. But because of regulations which forbid transmitter frequencies to be too close to each other, the station license application process has been deadlocked. There are several vying for this frequency and other frequencies just below it.

We are linked with three applicants whose frequency was the same or adjacent to our desired frequency, but we have sufficient

points to overcome their applications. There are three other applicants with whom we do not directly conflict, but because they overlap the other applications we are linked with, they also stand in the way of our eventual license. Even though we are tied for first place in points, the FCC will not award us a license until all have either withdrawn or negotiated the conflicts between their applications to meet regulations. Our attorney is negotiating with them to try to resolve the conflicts. It is possible; however, if they refuse to negotiate, the FCC will likely decide to award the frequency to no one.

Q. Is there any other avenue to resolve this deadlock?

A. It seems not. However, Brother Bruno is working on the possibility of streaming radio over the internet.

Q. Are there any hindrances to accomplishing this?

A. No, not that we can see. Brother Bruno, however, is seeking legal coverage to stream copyrighted sacred music and material over the internet. Please pray that this will be accomplished if it is God’s will.

Q. some time ago i heard that Hartland was opening a radio station. is this true, and is it up and running?

Dr. Standish responds to the following question and a series of related questions. If you have any inquiries about Hartland, please e-mail them to [email protected].

He knows he has lost. Surrender is near. With a general’s craftiness, he ravages the

land. He may have lost, but his enemy won’t benefit, because everything this enemy has fought for will burn. As the vanquished flees before the victor, he burns bridges, sacks towns, and salts fields.

To stop this sabotage, the victor must quickly send trained units to put out fires. He must engage his foe constantly to distract him from destruction. He must also assure the inhabitants of the defeated land of his noble intentions so they will not assist in the ransacking.

In the greatest war of his-tory, God’s enemy has already lost. When Christ paid the penalty for sin, Satan could no longer claim that God was unfair. Sin required death, and “Christ gave His life to save the sinner from the death sentence.” In Heavenly Places, p. 361.

When Satan knew he was defeated, he decided, like the general we began with, to snatch the benefits of victory from Christ. Since Christ came to save men, Satan wants to ensure that there are few to save. He has focused his energies to deceive and distract men from our Savior, trying, among other things, to convince men that Christ’s death and work in the sanctuary are not enough to

enable them to keep God’s law. As his time shortens, the battle intensifies, and more and more souls perish in his grasp.

Christ must end this sabotage. He, like the victor of our beginning, needs trained soldiers to douse the fires of Satan’s delusions, to dispel darkness with light, to draw souls from the clutches of Satan through the love of Christ.

Hartland College is a war college, one of Christ’s tools for fitting leaders for this spiritual conflict. We are here to equip God’s men and women, so our graduates can effectively help God win battles in His way.

This is the focus of this Hartland Ministry Report: How God is using Hartland to prepare soldiers for

this conflict. We report on the ordination of two graduates on pages 6 and 7, and on student battle plans coordinated by the new “Lord, Send Me” program on page 11. We give a detailed perspective of Hartland’s aims and methods in our interview with Pastor Baker on page 9.

If God is calling you to Hartland College, heed His voice. If you are open to the Spirit, Hartland will arm you. Whether or not Hartland is for you, consider this a general call to throw yourself into this final push against evil. Let us, with God’s help, end this war and go home. v

Onward, Christian Soldiers!

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood…”

Joan Reichard, Editor

“Praise God from whom all blessings flow.” How many times have we sung

these words? As we face the unknown this year, let us sing them more sincerely than ever before.

I had decided not to say too much about the implosion of the world economy, but now I am breaking my silence. I wish to avoid the speculative announcements com-mon in the Internet Age. I always seek the best and the most credible sources for my information.

I will not be surprised if as early as this year the deep recession will have developed into the third world depression since the 1890s. Because of globalism and the mag-nitude of recent economic developments, it could be a depression of unparalleled magnitude in the history of mankind. There is concern that the US dollar’s and other currencies’ buying power will be greatly reduced. The efforts of the G-20, the 20 largest economies, seem to have achieved little. These summits have not been able to find the solution to the economic implosion.

As president of Hartland, I have responsi-bility for the funds which God has entrusted

to us. I do not have the wisdom—no one on this planet has the wisdom—to know how to handle this situation. Some “experts” say this downturn will last at least 10 years; others say 15 years. The most optimistic say at least 2 years; some are not even willing to hazard a guess.

Therefore, all that the staff and I can do is turn to the Lord for help. He is the Master Economist. Our ministries are working to get out as much free literature as possible to help overseas projects which are doing a dedicated work for the Lord. We are also doing all we can to expedite the remedia-tions at Hartland so that the funds from faithful supporters will not be devalued in this financial crisis.

This is not the time to hold back from God’s work. I pray that we will not be amongst those who hesitate to provide God’s funds for His work.

As Seventh-day Adventists, we are not in darkness as to what these world-wide devel-opments mean. This is not a call for panic. It is a call for each one of us to look up, for our redemption draweth nigh (Luke 21:28).
