“Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.”—James 1:27 nrsv

On the first Sunday of December, CrossRoads Community Church of God in Elizabethtown, Kentucky

held a special celebration service to celebrate adoption into God’s family and, at the same time, raise awareness for the orphaned. What originally began as an idea to share the story of a couple in the congregation who had adopted a child from Ethiopia, turned into a large-scale event involving many families. “We realized that we also had a couple that was adopting a newborn from a birth mother in Florida,” Pastor Ed Shonkwiler explains, “and another couple who are foster parents with five natural born children and six who are in the foster-care system. So we decided to take each of their stories and share them with the congregation.”

Shonkwiler arranged the worship service to stress the adoption theme. A special video presentation highlighted the stories of each of the families who had been involved in the

adoption or foster-care process. Shonkwiler’s sermon touched on adoption into God’s fam-ily. “That morning we talked about how adoption was God’s original thought and that we can only understand horizontal adoption [of children in our society] after we realize that adoption was first vertical. We shared that in Christ we have a new relationship, a new position, a new family, and we are surrounded by God’s love.”

The service concluded with a baby (child) dedication of three children who had been adopted. “At CrossRoads, we believe that children are the heartbeat of all we do,” Shonkwiler explains. “Our vision is to not to leave an inheritance to our children but to leave a legacy in them. We make baby dedica-tions a big deal. We involve the family and the congregation. We actually want the parents to know the dedication is more about them dedicating themselves to raising the child and the congregation is there to come alongside the parents.”

Oklahoma Church Breaks Down Barriers, Serves CommunityBy Carl Stagner

In a society marked by division and discord, glimpses of unity refresh the soul like summertime rain on

the desert Southwest. Unity experienced amid a diverse cultural, socioeconomic, and political landscape can ultimately only come from Jesus. It really should come as no surprise then that the Chris-tian community would be the one of the first groups to come together in Musk-ogee, Oklahoma. The subject of their experience together was Jesus. Barriers that used to divide have crumbled, and love entwines about each heart in which God’s will is done.

Gary Underwood is the pastor of East-side Community Church in Muskogee. The city’s mayor had issued a challenge to the town’s leaders to do whatever pos-sible to reach out to others who may be different from themselves. Underwood was inspired to connect with the pastor of a predominantly African American church in Muskogee to plan a unity ser-vice between the two churches. Often referred to as the most segregated hours of the week, Sunday morning would be a prime opportunity to reach across the aisle—or pew.

Eastside Community Church and Harvest Ministries came together that day and celebrated their common Sav-ior. Worship was led by teams from both churches, and Pastor Beasley of Harvest delivered the message. In a moment that could only come from the Holy Spirit, Underwood signaled to one of his ush-ers to fetch a water bottle, a pan, and a towel. As Underwood washed the feet of his brother in Christ, tears of love washed away differences of background and denomination.

“Jesus is the common denominator that brings unity,” Underwood asserts. “Disunity usually happens when people, churches, and ministers are going their

own separate directions while trying to build our own individual kingdoms. It is a big step to healing the breakdown that still exists within our culture today. We as pastors have to model this for our congregations with the hope of them living it out into the community where they work, shop, and play every day.”

Partnering together with groups out-side the four walls of Eastside is nothing new. Over the past year, the church has joined forces with fifteen other orga-nizations and individuals—including Church of God congregations and other churches—to make a bigger impact than they could alone. To encourage our troops overseas, they collected and shipped 150 gift cards. Last year, East-side set a goal to collect five thousand water bottles for a local rescue mission; they smashed that goal by two thousand. Today the church continues to partner with others in the community to make a difference for the glory of God.

“It takes the Holy Spirit laying on the church’s heart what it can do to make a difference and impact an area of the

community,” Underwood explains. “People then need to listen to the Spirit and open their eyes to something they can do. There is not a big or small need in my mind; when we meet a need, they all matter, and people are being touched with the true heart and nature of Jesus.”

NACOG Unites for 2013 Joint Conference By Mary Baker-Boudissa

What better way to celebrate a year of worship and ser-vice, challenge and change,

than coming together as brothers and sisters in Christ for a celebration of our commitment to one another! The 2013 Joint Conference of the National Association of the Church of God, held December 27–30, 2013, was the third

such event, bringing together the National Men’s Ministry (NMM), the National Association Women of the Church of God (NAWCG), the National Inspirational Yout h C o nve nt io n (NIYC), K ing’s K idz Convention, and the National Association Seniors of the Church of God. The theme, “Holi-ness and Humil ity,” was the culmination of NACOG’s yearlong focus on “Advancing the Kingdom through Holiness and Humil-ity.” From conferences to worship services, the Joint Conference focused wholly on equipping and encouraging attendees to experience the full-ness of life in Christ.

Healthy and holy liv-ing was a key message in conferences provided by the NAWCG. In the words of conference leader Sis. Amanda Pat-terson, a medical student

who attends Vernon Park Church of God, in Chicago, Illinois, “The main thing I want [women] to understand is that it is our job to take care of the tem-ples God has blessed us with and that we can find the answers in the holy Scrip-tures to support our journey to healthy

living.” Other conferences offered tips on nurturing ourselves spiritually and planning for our future as a means of financial health.

Dr. Cheryl Sanders, during the Sat-urday evening service, challenged those present with the question, “Can we be holy and humble?” She reminded us that, as Christ-followers, we cannot lose sight of the purpose of holiness: to get rid of anything and everything that would hinder our getting closer to God. She closed with three important dos for how to be holy: (1) Listen to the call of God. (2) Learn to obey the commanding of God. (3) Love the people of God. “It’s not just about the rules and regulations,” Sanders said. “It’s about the relationship. Love the people of God, for what kind of holiness is it with no love in it?”

In addition to conferences emphasiz-ing ways to be a strong and loving man of God, the NMM invited dynamic preachers to lead services in the after-noon and evening. Among them was Dr. Jerald January, senior pastor of Vernon Park Church of God. On Sunday night, January brought the crowd to their feet, speaking from Job 23, with a message titled “The Gold Is the Goal.” Through-out his message, he emphasized God’s ability to take our trials, turn them to triumph, and use them to bring others into a relationship with Jesus Christ. He shared his own journey to understand-ing that God knows where we are and where we come from, but he encour-aged Christians not to fear trials. “Every test has a purpose, but the test cannot hurt holiness.” He closed with a service of prayer and anointing for those who were looking to break through trials to realize God’s vision for their lives.

The worship services were enhanced by the voices of Jimmy and Joyce Terry and the NIYC Convention Praise Team and, during the final day of services, music from the King’s Kidz Convention choir. Other featured events were the

Who is SOZO? That’s a good question. And it’s one that prompts the reader to

inquire further, especially with such an unusual name. SOZO, a church plant in Arizona, is on the cutting edge of communicating Christ, as well as com-municating who they are in Christ. Soon after people begin asking, “Who is SOZO?’ they find themselves also ask-ing, “Who is this Jesus you serve?”

“When creating our name,” Tom Hagedon explains on the church’s blog, “we wanted to find a word that was deep in meaning, unique enough to stand out, and a word that could take on a new meaning from what people received by being a part of it.” Sozo is a Greek word that means to save; it appears in the New Testament more than a hundred times. The name is an attention-grabber and spiritual conversation-starter, but behind the name is a small community of believers on fire to bring transforma-tion to the urban centers of the Phoenix metro area.

Over the past several decades, churches have been moving away from

urban centers to the suburbs to reach the fast-growing segments of the popula-tion. This church plant is in the heart of the city. Not only are people beginning to move back to the heart of the city, but the heart of the city has a void that only the hope of the gospel can fill.

The Phoen i x area i s la rgely

unchurched. Yet there is a church ser-vice taking place every Sunday on every corner, Tom explains. “Are people look-ing for another church service? The resounding answer was no,” he adds. Then what are people looking for?

“A good story,” Tom insists. “We have to decide how to become an expression of the church that is attractional within the urban culture. As soon as we start-ed sharing our story, people wanted to become a part of that story. People are experiencing Christ on a very com-munal and personal level, and they’re questioning for the first time whether church could actually fit in their lives. So we began asking ourselves, How do we shift the focus from the facility to story? From pews to people? From programs to community?”

For SOZO, the worship service becomes a part of the story of faith rather than the story itself. This past fall, SOZO hosted an event in the park for the homeless. “Wouldn’t it be cool if we went downtown and gathered together the homeless and offered a simple act of

Partnership Down Under: CHOG Organizations Come Together for a CauseBy Bryan Hughes

Interdependence has always been part of the fiber of the Church of God. From the original concept of

founder D. S. Warner, churches and ministries within the movement have enjoyed an autonomy not seen in other church organizations. Yet working together has been an equally vital part of the framework of the church.

Recently, both concepts have come together to accomplish great achieve-ment halfway around the world. Global Missions, of Church of God Ministries, has forged a partnership with Indiana Ministries, the state Church of God organization, that allows the strengths of each individual organization to come together to bolster the church in New Zealand.

Bob Edwards, recently retired direc-tor for Global Missions, explains why this is a significant partnership. “What we (Global Missions) and Indiana Min-istries are doing together with New Zealand is healthy,” Bob states. “Indi-ana Ministries wants to support what is happening with Global Missions already. They can bring strength to what is hap-pening and receive strength from being involved.”

The realization of this partnership began some time ago with David Ravell in Australia, shared Doug Talley, of Indi-ana Ministries. There had already been a partnership with a church plant in Aus-tralia. Early last year Dave called Doug again to help with a church in transi-tion in New Zealand. Chad and Diane Davenport were leaders in the New Zealand church through a commission with Global Missions. The partnership between Indiana Ministries and Global Missions proved natural.

“There was an immediate benefit in

partnering with Global Missions,” said Doug. “Chad and Diane were moving forward with ministry, and this partner-ship allowed the church to immediately realize an interim.” This stability allows for Indiana Ministries to effectively pro-vide evaluation for future growth and to provide coaching while the church searches for a long-term pastor.

With Jim Lyon as the new director of Church of God Ministries, changes con-tinue to reveal God’s emerging direction for the church.

“We are seeing a shift in the involve-ment of our state organizations as they becoming more involved with missions,” Bob Edward shares. “We are eagerly awaiting the direction that Church of God Ministries is going with regard to international ministries.”

Both organizations are excited about the energy that is becoming apparent in this new chapter of the church, missions around the world, and state organiza-tions in the United States.

love,” Tom thought, “to help them not feel so marginalized?” And so it was the Haircuts for the Homeless brought God’s love to the streets of Phoenix. “We put it on social media to get the information out to people who hadn’t even heard of us. The reaction to the expression of the church in this way was overwhelming.” It’s just the kind of meaningful story that many who are unfamiliar with church are looking for.

“We’re not laying out a blueprint. We’re not saying we’re brand new or original. When churches marketed themselves over the past twenty years, it was a different style of music or a pas-tor that was wearing cooler jeans. That really works for people that grew up in a church culture. For us, we’re looking for people who have never set foot inside a church or who have promised never again to do so. That’s a very central piece to who SOZO is.”

The Church of God is encouraged to keep all church plants in prayer, including SOZO. “I would say one of the biggest things we need prayer for is sustainability,” Tom says. “We believe that God is doing something incredible, and we are so grateful to be a part of it.”

Warner Press Releases Grandparenting Books

Warner Press has released two books on grandpar-enting as part

of the New Life Together discipleship series. A Call to Grandparenting, by P a s t o r

Mark Adcock, of Fortville, Indiana, helps older Christians recognize opportunities

to lead their grandchil-d ren to Christ. A compan-ion book, L e s s o n s L e a r n e d on Papa’s Pond, pro-v i d e s a s e r ie s of stories that g ra ndpa r -e n t s a n d g randch i l-d r e n c a n read togeth-er to begin the process of discipleship.

“I do not wish to minimize the fact that God has called parents

to be the most profound shapers of their children’s lives,” Pastor Adcock writes,

“but we grandparents have an oppor-tunity to provide something they are not yet able to provide: the perspective and wisdom that comes from decades of experience.”

In Lessons Learned, Mark recounts how his own grandfather led him to Christ and discipled him during summer vacations at the family farm in Missis-sippi. These stories are written on a sixth-grade level so that many elemen-tary-age children can read them. A Call to Grandparenting explains how grand-parents can use his story and their own faith stories to influence their grandchil-dren for Christ.

Both books are available through the Church of God publishing House, Warner Press, Inc. Call 800-741-7721 in the USA or visit the website www.war-nerpress.org. Later this year, Warner Press will release a resource kit with additional tools for grandparents’ disci-plining ministry.

Warner Press has reissued A New Wind Blowing!, Charles R. Tarr’s personal account

of the Anderson revival of 1970. Rev. Tarr was pastor of South Meridian Church in Anderson, Indiana, when the congregation heard a student group’s report of revival at Asbury College (now University) in Wilmore, Kentucky. Revival broke out in Anderson as well, prayer meetings were held at South Meridian for fifty consecutive days, and lay witness teams spread out across the nation.

In the following year, thousands of people were converted to Christ, delivered from substance addictions, reconciled to estranged families, and healed physically. The Jesus People

Movement, an avant-garde expression of revival among American young adults, coalesced in 1970–71 as a result of the Asbury and Anderson revivals.

“The Anderson Revival was only one very small segment of a much larger and widespread movement of the Holy Spirit,” Pastor Tarr wrote. “Most of us would have said that what happened in Anderson was just an unusually good ‘revival’ had it been confined to this one city. But when one rises above one locale, and gets a wider perspective, he is suddenly aware that a new wind is blow-ing across America.”

Rev. Tarr is now retired and living in Washington state. However, pastors and laypersons continue to ask for copies of his revival account. The book retails

for $9.99 and may be purchased in local bookstores or at the Warner Press web-site, www.warnerpress.org.

Global Wesleyan Alliance Rallies Faith Groups Around Christ

December 6–7, 2013, national leaders of several churches in the Wesleyan tradition of the

global Christian community met for the third time as the Global Wesleyan Alliance (GWA). Organized in 2011, the GWA seeks to unite in prophetic voice and missional engagement in service to the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ that brings transformation to persons and societies by the power of the Holy Spirit.

At this year’s meeting, Alliance members celebrated the beginning of new initiatives, such as regional meet-ings designed for leaders from member churches to become acquainted, iden-tify critical needs in their region, and begin to explore ways to address them cooperatively.

In the coming year, the Alliance proposes similar gatherings in more locales that would facilitate sharing and action around a number of specific concerns, including connecting and col-laborating with young leaders, urban ministry strategists and practitioners, global mission engagement, and activat-ing member churches and advocating for the abolition of human trafficking.

Clearly the most stimulating dis-cussion and prayer times rose out of

ongoing consideration of the special con-tributions the Wesleyan tradition offers the wider family of Christ-followers in serving the present age by sharing the whole gospel with the whole person and world.

During this annual meeting, the GWA elected its officers for the coming year. They are as follows:

President: David Graves, general superintendent, Church of the Nazarene

Vice president: Joanne Lyon, general superintendent, Wesleyan Church

Secretary: David Kendall, bishop, Free Methodist Church—USA

Treasurer: Brian Eckhardt, general

superintendent, Evangelical Church of North America

Member at Large: Vernon Ken-nebrew, bishop, Churches of Christ Holiness, USA

Notably the GWA also took action to hire an executive director who will over-see the work of the Alliance between its annual sessions. The Alliance then named Dr. Ronald Duncan, past general director of the Church of God (Ander-son), as its first executive director.

Churches participating in this year’s meeting of the Alliance, hosted by the Salvation Army at its national headquar-ters in Alexandria, Virginia, included the Association of Independent Meth-odists, the Church of God (Anderson), the Church of the Nazarene, the Evan-gelical Church of North America, the Evangelical Methodist Church, the Free Methodist Church—USA, the Method-ist Protestant Church, the Missionary Church, the Salvation Army, and the Wesleyan Church.

The 2014 meeting of the Wesleyan Global Alliance will be held at the World Ministries Center of The Free Methodist Church—USA in Indianapolis, Indiana, December 7–8.

Inquiries may be made to Dr. Ronald Duncan, executive director of the Global Wesleyan Alliance, at gwaduncan@gmail.com or 765-208-1075.

Chick-fil-A Opens Restaurant at AU

School food is not known as being a first choice for a meal by most students, but that was before

Anderson University brought a Chick-fil-A to campus.

“A lot of my friends like to eat here twice a day,” said Abigail Robertson, 19, an Anderson University student study-ing elementary education.

Chartwells Dining Service has part-nered with the national chain to create a licensed location called a Chick-fil-A Express in the Raven Haven.

“Chartwells and Anderson Univer-sity are excited to provide the Anderson University campus and the community of Anderson the opportunity to enjoy Chick-fil-A,” said Andrew Robbins, director of dining services for Chart-wells at Anderson University.

The menu for the restaurant is lim-ited but includes chicken sandwiches, nuggets and their famous waffle fries.

Robertson was ordering at the res-taurant for the first time on Friday and said the limited menu was not an issue.

“I think I would have gotten chicken nuggets even if they had a full menu,” she said.

There was quite a bit of excitement among the students about the new restaurants that opened in the Raven Haven on Dec. 10.

“The line was all the way out the

doors,” said MyLynn Allen, 18, an Anderson University student originally from Toledo, Ohio.

Chartwells has also added an Olive’s Bistro offering subs, toasted sandwiches, wraps, flatbreads and soups.

Sabrina Yeary, 19, from Bedford, who is studying to be an elementary teacher at the college, said the new restaurant options are great and she especially enjoys Olive’s menu.

“If I wasn’t an athlete, I would eat Chick-fil-A every day,” she said. “The waffle fries are the best.” Yeary said she loves the fast and friendly service at the eateries.

“College kids are like this,” she said snapping her fingers. “We need our food to go, and we need it quick. They have good management here.”

Asche-Lee Robinson, 18, from Gary, who is studying psychology at Anderson University, said the customer service is excellent and she is not worried it will be affected by outside people learning the restaurants are open.

“There are already a bunch of people that are here and it is still fast,” she said.

According to Chick-fil-A Inc., the company is planning to open an addi-tional 25 licensee locations in 2014, but the locations for the new restaurants are still being determined.

Chartwells officials say they plan to

close the facilities during the holiday break for remodeling and reopen on Jan. 13.

Robinson was distressed to learn her meal from Olive’s on Friday was going to be her last until mid-January.

“Dang,” she said to her friends. “What are we going to do? I like to eat.”

Hours of operationThe Chick-fil-A and Olive’s Bistro are

both located at the Raven Haven inside the Olt Student Center of Anderson University. The restaurants are open: Monday–Thursday: 11 a.m.–11 p.m.; Friday: 11 a.m.–12 a.m.; and Saturday: 11 a.m.–11 p.m. Chick-fil-A is closed on Sundays.

Adoption Sundaycontinued from page 1

Student visits the AU Chick-fil-A.

After the service, the church rejoiced to learn that many others among them had been adopted, had adopted oth-ers, were foster parents, or had come from foster care. Another individual shared that she has cared for children from all over the world as a host of for-eign exchange students. “One special moment of the morning was when each of the adopting couples realized that the

same case worker had helped each of them.”

Adoption Sunday was an overwhelm-ing success. Its ripple effects continue to have an impact on a ministry that delib-erately emphasizes children. “We know that if we can provide a loving environ-ment for the children, the parents will be more comfortable and more likely to come back. I believe that people are

attracted to CrossRoads because there is a family atmosphere. There are many other reasons, but I believe that one rea-son people continue to come is because we continue to tell them that they are ‘the one God loves’ and that we all are just a ‘bunch of misfits, who found other misfits, who found the Peace that made us all fit!’”

Risk and RestorationBy Sam Collins

Editor’s Note: This edition of For Leaven’s Sake was originally published in May 2013. We brought “Risk and Restoration” back for your enjoyment!

For a long time I supposed that the story about the woman healed of hemorrhaging (Mark 5:24–34)

was a simple case of a shy individual trying to avoid the first-century equiva-lent of tabloid publicity. Why else would she approach everything so stealthily? I figured she just didn’t want her pic-ture sharing the same front page with accounts of reputed Big Foot sightings on the outskirts of Jericho.

I also theorized that she was reluctant to pester a busy celebrity like Jesus. I could understand that. I’m a little back-ward around big-name people myself. If I was in a public gathering and saw persons of note (like Ryne Sandberg, a Hall of Famer who used to play sec-ond base for the Chicago Cubs, or Bill Gaither, who sometimes plays second fiddle to Gloria—just kidding, Bill), I’d automatically assume they wouldn’t want to be bothered by some obscure schmo like me.

I eventually discovered, however, that timidity probably had little to do with the manner in which this woman approached the Lord. She didn’t “sneak up” on Jesus out of choice; she sought to remain undetected out of apparent necessity.

Remember, this individual had suf-fered from chronic bleeding for twelve years (a span equivalent to six terms in congress or the perceived duration of many of my sermons). Because of her condition she was considered ceremo-nially unclean, literally untouchable.

She had every reason to believe that a respectable Jew would respond to her approach as a honey-coated sunbather might respond to an oncoming swarm of killer bees.

That put Jesus’ reaction to this encounter in a whole new light for me. Before, I must admit to feeling just a tinsy bit annoyed that the Lord failed to honor this lady’s desire for anonymity.

Then it hit me. Perhaps Jesus was not trying to embarrass the woman; maybe he was shaming those who had shunned her. In essence his actions could have been saying: “For twelve long years you kept this suffering child of God at arm’s length. Heartless, letter-of-the-law fools! As has just been demonstrated, a simple touch would not have defiled you, but it might have contributed to her comfort and healing.”

A great many people are marginal-ized in our society and by our churches for one reason or another. Perhaps they have pasts that shock us. Maybe they suffer from addictions, physical diseases, or emotional maladies we believe that faithful, godly people never develop or grapple with. If Jesus’ example teaches us anything, it is this: Contamination is more likely to come from inner atti-tudes than from external threats. To restore human lives, Christians must risk human contact.

The views expressed in this column are not necessarily those of Church of God Ministries or, at points, even the writer, but are written with tongue firmly planted in cheek to hope-fully provoke a leavening bit of laughter and a smidgen of thought.
