Mission Issues

Thinking and re-thinking missionary issues

About

This is a blog where I would like to share some of my ideas about contemporary mission. I have more than 24 years experience as a full-time missionary in Swaziland, have done a PhD on the theology of mission – specifically on the relationship between mission and eschatology – and am presently specialising in the problem of HIV/AIDS and how the church should approach this problem. You are welcome to respond and share your ideas on this blog.

    Baie dankie vir die nuusbriewe en al die inligting. Ek is bietjie oorwldig deur alles wat jy hier bied, maar dit is skitterende werk. Ek is self betrokke by partnerships en sal graag insette lewer en ook van jou kennis en ervaring hierin gebruik maak. Ek sal hopelik later geleentheid kry om verder te reageer.Doen so voort !

    Groete

  3. Hi Alick,

    That would obviously depend where you live. Contact me and let me know where you are and then I can see if I can give you advice.

  4. Hello Mr. van Wyngaard,

    we are about to move to Swaziland to work full-time with TransWorld Radio, a Christian Radio Organisation probably living near Manzini late summer 2009.
    As Candidates on orientation course we are interested in the history of mission in Swasiland.
    You seem to be the right one to ask, thank you for your help, maybe with an e-mail adress.
    Blessings, Britta

  6. I would like to discuss your comments about Angus Buchan. I’m in Boca Raton Florida US. I’m working towards an RN degree and I’m a ROTARY member. Currently I’m a Banker and feel that the LORD is leading me to become an RN in order to do goods works in Africa.

    Since I have been a banker for about 14 yrs and a Business banker for many years-I would rather not re invent the wheel so I’m looking for an organization to work with along with the ROTARY INTERNATIONAL and combine forces in order to bring JESUS LOVE to the African people.

    It is very important to me to connect with an organization that is humble and only gives the GLORY to our LORD.

    My personal needs are few so once I can finish school I plan (GOD willing) to work in Africa for up to 6 months a year.

    I’m sending this out and put in the hands of GOD who leads me the result.

    GOD BLESS all those who live for JESUS!
