Download or read book 27 YEARS IN NEPAL, 1967 to 1994 Adventures of a Missionary Family written by Robert Buckner and published by Christian Faith Publishing. This book was released on 2024-01-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Bob and Hazel Buckner and their family went to Nepal in 1967, there was great need for education and modern health care. The life expectancy was just thirty-nine years. With Bob's mechanical and construction background, he was able to make the work of teachers and medical people more productive. In two places, they were the first missionaries to establish a home within the local communities and facilitate the arrival of international and local staff people. One of those places (Pokhara) could only be reached by one road back then, and the next (Jumla) was seventy-five miles from the nearest road. Set against some of the most magnificent mountains in the world, with people who lived very close to the carrying capacity of the land and often had no reason to hope for a better future, their story tells about trying to bring a better life and the good news of Jesus Christ to the amazing, resilient, and resourceful Nepali people. The backbone of this book is the letters written home weekly by the authors, and these are supplemented by vivid memories.

Book Synopsis Don't Let the Goats Eat the Loquat Trees by : Thomas Hale
Download or read book Don't Let the Goats Eat the Loquat Trees written by Thomas Hale and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2010-06-21 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Hale writes about being a missionary surgeon in the same delightful way James Herriot writes about being a country veterinarian. Dr. Hale's incredible experience in tiny, mountainous Nepal are surpassed only by his talent for telling about them. Imagine, for example, the culture shock of moving to a Hindu country under such rigid religious control that it is not only illegal to proselytize, but illegal to change religions as well. Imagine further the shock of moving to that country as a missionary doctor. Thomas Hale and his wife, Cynthia, also a physician, too on that awesome challenge in 1970.God wasted no time teaching tom the peculiarities of his new culture. But His unusual method left Tom wondering what God was up to. Here is how Tom tells about it:"These were not the phlegmatic, easy-going Nepalis described in books and orientation courses. Those who spoke gesticulated fiercely. Some looked around menacingly; others spat. One thing was certain, however: in the cause of their anger they were united. The word was out: the new doctor had killed a cow. My own sense of participation in the proceedings was intense. I was the new doctor."--ExcerptAs Tom goes on to describe the events the preceded the angry scene in the Nepali village, the image of the spiritually superior missionary quickly evaporates. In a humorous, yet deeply insightful way, the author makes it clear that he is merely a servant, using his skills to the glory of God.Tom concludes this chapter with a thoughtful confession:"In the long run, that cow did much more for me that I did for it. The mild-mannered, uncritical beast made me see in myself those negative attributes I had always ascribed to other American surgeons. Facing two hundred angry men proved to be effective therapy for removing most traces of condescension with which I previously regarded them. It also improved my relations with missionary colleagues and with Nepali brothers and sisters in the church. I guess God had no gentler way of removing some of my imperfections. I only wish I could say, for His trouble, that He finished the job. But it was a start." -- Excerpt.Dr. Hale's book refused to be preachy or condescending. It presents missions as a "want" rather than an "ought." It is sensitive, warm, honest, incredibly funny, and filled with important truths illustrated from unusual and sometimes unimaginable situations.

Book Synopsis Missionary Writing and Empire, 1800-1860 by : Anna Johnston
Download or read book Missionary Writing and Empire, 1800-1860 written by Anna Johnston and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-08-07 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anna Johnston analyses missionary writing under the aegis of the British Empire. Johnston argues that missionaries occupied ambiguous positions in colonial cultures, caught between imperial and religious interests. She maps out this position through an examination of texts published by missionaries of the largest, most influential nineteenth-century evangelical institution, the London Missionary Society. Texts from Indian, Polynesian, and Australian missions are examined to highlight their representation of nineteenth-century evangelical activity in relation to gender, colonialism, and race.

Book Synopsis Their Footprints Remain by : Alex McKay
Download or read book Their Footprints Remain written by Alex McKay and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 737 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the end of the 19th century, British imperial medical officers and Christian medical missionaries had introduced Western medicine to Tibet, Sikkim, and Bhutan. Their Footprints Remain uses archival sources, personal letters, diaries, and oral sources in order to tell the fascinating story of how this once-new medical system became imbedded in the Himalayas. Of interest to anyone with an interest in medical history and anthropology, as well as the Himalayan world, this volume not only identifies the individuals involved and describes how they helped to spread this form of imperialist medicine, but also discusses its reception by a local people whose own medical practices were based on an entirely different understanding of the world.
