Drie nieuwe Nederlandstalige websites om te helpen God te zoeken en te vinden

Nu dat er meer over geloof, Allah, God, Jahweh, Jehovah en godsdiensten gesproken wordt is het misschien niet slecht om hen die graag in discussie willen gaan en zij die zoeken ter wille te staan.

Voor de zoekenden en hen die graag antwoorden op vele levensvragen willen krijgen hebben de Belgische Christadelphians nu drie nieuwe websites geopend.

Voor het zoeken naar God is er "Op zoek naar God".
Met enkele artikelen hopen wij mensen op weg te brengen om verder te gaan zoeken alsook dieper te gaan duiken in de Heilige Schrift die de beste gids is als wij op weg naar God willen gaan.

Omtrent de weg die wij best op gaan om God te vinden is er de vandaag (18 februari 2016) gecreëerde website "De Weg naar God" die zal trachten duidelijk te maken dat er twee zeer belangrijke Bijbelse figuren zijn die de mensen makkelijk met elkaar verwarren maar die wij toch zeer goed zullen moeten kennen om een goede relatie aan te gaan met de Schepper van het heelal.

De persoon die de Weg naar God is, horen christenen zeer goed te kennen maar ook bewust zijn van wat hij leerde en van wat hij verlangde van zijn volgelingen die zijn naam willen dragen en de wereld willen in gaan als Christen.

Het is niet eenvoudig om de juiste weg te vinden, daarom kan alle hulp wel welkom zijn. Wij hopen dan ook als werkers voor God een mooie bijdrage te kunnen leveren om mensen op weg te helpen om God te vinden.

"God vinden" is dan de derde in de rij om een volwaardig drieluik te vormen. Samen zouden deze websites meer informatie en leiding moeten kunnen geven om op weg te gaan om een goede navolger van Jeshua, Jezus Christus te zijn.

Enkel als wij Jezus tenvolle zullen erkennen voor wat hij gedaan heeft en voor wie hij is zullen wij via deze bemiddelaar tussen God en mens, verzoend met God kunnen geraken en er werk van maken om met God en met zijn schepselen een goede relatie op te bouwen.

Hopelijk zullen wij veel mensen mogen en kunnen helpen om de Weg naar God te vinden en mag u ook al bij dezen behoren die God al gevonden hebben. Waar u ook staat op de weg naar God, kan het gerust geen kwaad om een kijkje te gaan nemen op die sites.

Information Wanted - Kindertransport

Sent: Mon, 25 Jan 2016 10:10:02 -0800


Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Lord willing, Im hoping to put together a book on Christadelphians and their involvement in the Kindertransport. If you have any information or any sources of information that you would like to share, please contact me at jhensley@heritageschoolcalifornia.com or +1 (805) 304-7860. 

Additionally, in gathering materials, I have heard about a book called *Elpis Lodge Scrapbook: 1940-1948*.Ive been trying to locate a copy through the Holocaust archivist here in Los Angeles, but to no avail. If you can help in locating a copy of this book, please reach out to me.

Thank you very much.

With love in the Hope of Israel,
Jason Hensley

 NB Quick definition: Kindertransport was the informal name of a series of rescue efforts which brought thousands of refugee Jewish children to Great Britain from Nazi Germany between 1938 and 1940.

Sub-titled Life's Big Questions DVDs

In January the Flemish readers of "Met Open Bible" got "De Grote Levensvragen"  Life's big Questions sent by me.

Sub-titled Life's Big Questions DVDs

Life's Big Questions are now able to offer sub-titled *Life’s Big Questions* and *Introducing the Bible* DVDs in any language if translations can be provided. 
They are produced using Camtasia Studio software which uses a .srt file to produce the subtitles.

Using a .srt file with English sub-titles, the English text can be translated into any language. If all of the other information is left unchanged, the new .srt file will then produce a DVD with new language sub-titles that will all line up correctly with the pictures. 

The final titles giving further information need to be changed to appropriately.
Graphics for the DVD logo with foreign titles can also be produced.
 
A Dutch DVD can be viewed on my Google Drive at:

If you are able to help staff a Bible Learning Centre in South Wales, UK, then please click on the following link and complete the survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1doSxv0J4RdDl2VsjUVNCdhQ7UXhgfBZqnB0OiwwlTZ0/viewform?usp=send_form

By way of further explanation: the Gorseinon Ecclesial preaching team is currently undertaking a feasibility survey for running a Bible Learning Centre in the Swansea area for up to three months. For more about Bible Learning Centres in the UK, see http://www.biblelearningcentre.org/ 

The impact of BLCs has seen fruit in Nottingham, Stirling and Solihull in terms of people taking the one-to-one seminars, attending meetings at ecclesial halls and also baptisms. Notably, there are fewer Christadelphians in Scotland than in South Wales, and the Stirling BLC was run successfully for two years. We fully believe that the South Wales Christadelphians are able to join together in a three month venture - if we roll up our sleeves and get stuck in.

At the moment, the Gorseinon Preaching Team are investigating whether the proposed Swansea BLC will be feasible both financially and in terms of staffing.
 
Please can you complete the following survey if you are prepared to commit to a shift on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis for a period of three months, God willing. There are short term affordable three month lets in Swansea's main shopping centre that we are exploring. With our Father's blessing, we believe that we could run such a venture for that short period of time - but they need at least 30 committed volunteers.

If the project proves feasible, then shifts would most likely be either for the morning 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. or for the afternoon 1 - 4.30 p.m. There should always be at least two people staffing the centre and full training will be given.

We look forward to your support in this exciting preaching venture in the last moments before our Lord returns.

With love in our Lord,

The Gorseinon Preaching Team
