Canadian Baptist Ministries (CBM) is pleased to announce the re-assignment of Global Field Staff Duane and Carin Guthrie to Southeast Asia, based in Manila, Philippines.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Guthries have served for the past seven years alongside CBM’s partners, the Bolivian Baptist Union (UBB). After learning Spanish they worked in community development, helping to build the capacity of national leaders, primarily in the area of microcredit and small business management and coaching through the Economic Initiatives program in El Alto, Bolivia’s poorest and fastest growing city. Through this work, they developed a new partnership with World Venture, strategically focused on faith at work and Business as Mission, whereby lay leaders could learn to integrate their faith in the marketplace.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Building on their successful inter-agency partnership between CBM, World Venture and the UBB, Duane and Carin realized that God was opening a new door to service with a broader focus on marketplace ministry. After extensive research, the Guthries have accepted an invitation to establish a home base in Manila, one of Asia’s leading hub cities. From there, they will continue to build a partnership with World Venture, while being part of CBM’s team ministering to Chinese business leaders in Southeast Asia. Duane has also been asked to help develop a global focus, equipping emerging leaders who are passionate about using their businesses for transformation.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
CBM’s Deputy Executive Director, Terry Smith shared, “Too often, churches have been content to train Christian leadership for service within the church, focusing on the routine Sunday activities of preaching and teaching. But our Asian brothers and sisters are showing that a vital part of healing a broken world involves engaging believers the other 313 days a year – practicing word and deed – in the marketplace, at schools, in government offices, industry, banking and every possible venue where they are placed as God’s witnesses. We are delighted that the Guthries will be part of this new, strategic focus.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Guthries are members of New Life Community Church in Duncan, BC. After spending fifteen years in the business world, they joined CBM as full-time Global Field Staff in 2008.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Duane and Carin have 15-year old twins, Caleb and Paige. Duane recently completed a Master of Divinity at Carey Theological College. Carin spent eleven years with the Department of National Defense and has most recently taught at Carachipampa Christian School in Cochabamba, Bolivia.</div>

There are many things that I like about being in Canada but
there's one thing in particular that I only get to enjoy while on home
assignment and that is the long drives between churches listening to the CBC.
On a recent excursion I happened to be listening to an interview with the
former chair of British Columbia's Agricultural Land Commission and I was
struck by this man's passion for farmland and its preservation. It was clear
that his concern wasn't just for our own generation but that he had a very long
view of what I would call stewardship, a view that spanned generations. His
concern wasn't just for our children but for the grandchildren of our
grandchildren. His forthright commentary left no room for doubt, he was
advocating for creation care.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When I am sharing about marketplace ministry I often raise
the topic of care for our environment. In Genesis chapter 2 we are granted the
image of a beautiful garden, creation at it’s finest, and it is here that we
are first told of humanity's task to both work and care for God's creation.
This particular task, sometimes referred to by theologians as the Creation
Mandate, has never been revoked and God's commandment to be fruitful and
multiply was, from the beginning, framed by these clear instructions to care for
what He has created. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have begun to notice that many churches have taken to
heart what God is saying and have begun the process of reflection on how their
own activities are impacting our environment. This is encouraging and it is
also humbling, as it has forced me to consider how my own activities may be in
need of change in order to honour the Creation Mandate. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have much to learn!<o:p></o:p></div>

As I listened to the CBC I began to think about our churches
that are planted in rural communities, farming communities, and what they could
teach a city boy like me. I also began to think about how a church committed to
creation care could use these points of contact to reach out to a world that is
becoming increasingly concerned over environmental issues. I even imagined a
day when the CBC is interviewing local congregations, who are passionate about
such issues as land-use and environmental stewardship, where the gospel is
shown to be relevant for such pressing issues, and Christians are shown to be
just as passionate about the environment as the former ALC Chair from British
Columbia.<o:p></o:p></div>

It seems every time I speak in a church someone comes to me
after the service to share very personal stories about work and vocation and
calling. Some stories are filled with joy and laced with passion as people
describe, often in detail, how their work fulfills them in deeply meaningful
ways. More often the stories are filled with pain and frustration, laced with
doubt and fear. Somewhere along the way something has come off the rails and
we've missed that God's call to life in Christ includes a renewed view of not
just our spiritual lives but of our physical reality as well, including work.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Recently I was approached by a young man who, in the last
six months, has started a small business, and like all small businesses in
their first year, his is experiencing the pains of starting up. Deeply
committed to his local church, this young man struggles with the reality that
his business is demanding more time and ministries in which he once involved
himself no longer fit his schedule. Feeling the pressure between family, faith
and work, this young man symbolizes for me something that is becoming
increasingly a problem, one that the church, I believe, needs to address.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have yet to speak with a pastor or church leader who has
told me that their community is overburdened with volunteers. Most churches
that I am aware of struggle every week to find people to do all the tasks
necessary to keep the organization moving forward. While I'm sure there are
some who simply haven't engaged, I think the problem lies elsewhere. Like the
young man who approached me after the service, many in our communities of faith
find themselves overburdened and overwhelmed by their work.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While there are many social reasons behind this phenomenon,
I believe there are two issues that specifically apply to the way we have
commonly engaged in church. The first was drawn to my attention when I recently
met with my own pastor who brilliantly pointed out that all too often the
church fails to disciple people out of the American dream. The world will tell
us that a happy, healthy, prosperous family should be able to attain their
version of the white picket fence, higher education, sports and entertainment,
and whatever consumer gadget that happens to catch our eye. Before we know it
we are up to our eyeballs in debt or working so many hours we have no time left
to enjoy all that the dream has provided. In some cases it's both.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The second, perhaps even more disruptive, is how we have
failed to connect our Sunday worship to our Monday activities. I remember when
I myself was in business how discouraged I felt on Monday morning. I couldn't
help but think that I had missed my calling because of how amazing I felt on
Sunday. Somewhere along the way I had failed to connect ministry and mission as
something that intersects with all of my life. Somehow I had missed that I was
doing ministry no less as a person of business then I was as a Sunday school
teacher, and by failing to recognize this I now realize I was more susceptible
to the siren call of consumerism.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Like the young man struggling through his business start up,
it never occurred to me to share my feelings and my struggles with my church
community. Truthfully, and I love my church family, I'm not sure they would've
known what to do with me or with my dilemma. So much of our time, as a church,
is focused on those few hours we spend together in corporate worship and how we
can keep our people safe from the influence of the world while we are apart.
Jesus calls us to go, to baptize and to disciple and to teach. He calls us to
engage with the world, to be in it just not of it, like oil and water. What
does that mean for a new businessperson or the accountant, the plumber or the
police officer? What does that mean for the pastor? How do we disciple people
out of the American dream? How do we connect the ministry of the church with the
Ministry of work?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These are the questions being asked at CBM. Our call, as an
organization and as a group of men and women committed to Christ, is to embrace
a broken world through word and deed. Some of the most broken places that exist
in our reality are the places in which we work. We are exploring, with our
church partners, what it means to be people of faith throughout our week, what
it means to be disciples of Jesus embracing our world while we work and what it
means for the church to see itself as more than just an organization but as an
organism, a collection of deeply interconnected people, interconnected as a
church, as families, throughout our societies and in our places of work.<o:p></o:p></div>

We are openly inviting our church partners in Canada and
around the globe to help us and to help each other by joining the conversation
and by sharing our collective stories both good and bad. I pray for the day
when a young businessperson seeking answers to the most pressing questions at

pray for the day where this community, faced with such difficult questions,

I have a confession. I like all things Apple. Not the fruit
but rather the massive tech company out of California who, if my wife allowed
it, would be welcome to take an embarrassing amount out of my weekly paycheque.
Yesterday I sat glued to my computer screen as the world was introduced to yet
another must have product, the Apple Watch. What is so striking about the Apple
Watch is not so much the product itself, although depending on your level of
addiction to technology you too may be experiencing moderate levels of desire,
but rather how quickly knowledge of the product has spread around the globe. On
the day the newest iPhones were released I happened to be in Hong Kong and I
saw firsthand the line-ups outside the local Apple retail location and I can tell
you those fancy commercials depicting waves of consumers with anticipation on
their face is not is not the camera work. We should take note!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On one level the world is getting smaller. Anyone of us can
hop on a plane today and be anywhere else in the world tomorrow. There are many
opportunities for work scattered about the globe for anyone willing to take the
leap. Globalization has opened the door to new possibilities for mission and
the church stands on the edge of new opportunities that only a few years ago we
could never have imagined. Christians have an opportunity to engage our world
in so many new and exciting ways; we only need to dream just a little bigger.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On another level the world is getting a lot bigger. Local
communities are facing significant cultural shifts as the reality of
globalization is impacting even the most rural parts of Canada. Once only a
reality for the largest of cities, immigration is changing the very makeup of
our workplaces, our neighbourhoods and even our churches. Similar to our global
engagement, the church is facing exponential growth in opportunity for
cross-cultural ministry right here at home. No longer does one need to cross
over oceans in order to interact with the peoples of the world, we need only go
out our front door.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am personally very excited about this. As long as I have
been a member of CBM I've seen firsthand the value of people stepping out of
their comfort zone to participate in short-term ministry alongside our field
staff. I've always valued good ministry engagement that calls us to see our
world with fresh perspectives. What excites me even more is how we are able to
connect our global work with our Canadian work more than ever before. We have
an opportunity to learn from one another and an opportunity to inform one
another in ways that are never been possible. Gone are the days when CBM
"missionaries" hold a monopoly on cross-cultural ministry and I
personally welcome new people to the conversation because I think we have much
to learn from one another.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span class="s1"><strong>S</strong></span><span class="s2">ometimes things actually work out as planned. While this is not often the case, we did experience such a case as a result of our recent integral mission courses with local pastors. As a result, we were invited to take the course on the road to a local church located about 45 minutes outside of Cochabamba.</span></h2>

<span class="s1">Over a period of 12 weeks my colleague Quinn Holzer, a World Venture missionary from Montana, and myself (Duane) taught a basic theology of integral mission to a small community church. One of the highlights of our time was a two-hour walkabout where we ventured through the community in the early evening pointing out opportunities for church engagement that can be deeply connected to life as it exists around us. The conversations that came from that experience were both exhilarating and enlightening as we began to see a community of faith grow in understanding of and commitment to God’s mission in this world. It was also a time of sadness as we witnessed the brokenness of a community hidden in the shadows. Small children playing alone in the street late in the evening, young people engaged in activities that are anything but life-giving, the homeless, the intoxicated, drugs, prostitution, shame, loneliness and fear. There is so much work to be done!</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span class="s1">What Quinn and I witnessed that day was a local church moving outside itself, recognizing that it didn’t exist solely to serve its own needs. Not surprisingly there were some who felt overwhelmed, the need is great and the resources always seem to be lacking, but there was something different about the way they saw their community, and the way they saw themselves. We don’t anticipate world changing events from our 12 weeks with Vinto, in fact we don't expect Vinto changing events either. It’s not about that. Our hope is that we can see both communities of faith and individual Christians waking to the idea that in their own small way they can participate in God’s mission to this world and do so in such a way that it is, like a glass of water to a thirsty child, pleasing to Christ.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><b>S</b></span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">hortly after our initial arrival to Bolivia we came across a church-based preschool program called PEPE. Started in Brazil by a British Missionary, <b>P</b>rograma <b>E</b>ducativa <b>P</b>re<b>E</b>scolar has managed to plant itself beyond Latin America to several continents around the world. It is a first-class example of the church engaged in local, grassroots, Integral Mission activities that exemplify the gospel. Ever since our initial meeting with local coordinators we have desired greatly to have such a project be part of the work in the Integral Mission Centre (CMI) in El Alto. It is incredibly exciting to be able to report that this dream has been finally realized. What makes this project so much more exciting is that it is a partnership between the Bolivian Baptist Union, Canadian Baptist Ministries, and our European partners EBM-MASA. MASA has been involved for some time in PEPE projects throughout the world and when we first discussed with them the idea they jumped at the opportunity. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 9px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From the beginning it made sense for this particular PEPE project to act as a model for local churches to follow in order to allow for expansion of the project throughout the city. As we mentioned earlier, a core value for CBM is the local church. With this in mind we invited Iglesia Josué, the local Baptist Church, to not only join the partnership, but to take the lead position in the operation of the program. The long-term vision is that once PEPE is established throughout El Alto the program at CMI will become solely owned by the local church. It is one more small step in our larger toward church-based integral mission outreach.</span></span></div>

Chagas is a disease that impacts the internal organs and is caused by a parasite that is introduced into the bloodstream through the faeces of triatomine bugs known locally as the Vinchuca. CBM and the Bolivian Baptist Union have been engaged in a disease prevention program for the past five years in both the southern zone of the city of Cochabamba as well as the area centred around the community of Mizque. Last year we expanded the project into Chuquisaca, the next department south, specifically in the area surrounding the community of Yotala (45 minutes east of the city of Sucre). </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: justify;">Unlike Mizque, Yotala does not have a local Baptist church within the community through which the project can work. For this reason we have been working for the past two years to establish a joint venture that includes the Chuquisaca Association of Baptist churches that will act not only in the area of disease prevention but also combine as a church planting initiative. MASA has recently agreed to support a Bolivian pastor who will work alongside the technical team as it moves through the different communities in the region. It is our hope that long-term relationships can be both forged and maintained in this cooperative venture and that holistic ministry can be maintained far beyond the care provided by the Chagas project. It is another example of the innovative ways organizations, including the local church, are able to engage in God's mission to the world.</span> </span></div>

One of the things that we discovered as we began working with business people was how much they felt that Sunday and Monday were disconnected. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">What has developed from these conversations is a 10 week program where five or six local pastors explore together what it means to be the church on Monday, thinking through and reflecting together how our local congregations can become catalysts for change, holistic change, wherever we are connected. Our first group just recently finished and the initial results are quite exciting. Many of the pastors have invited us to share with their local leadership, to help them think through how best to proceed. This is a wonderful development, one we hope will allow us to connect to business people and professionals directly from within their local church, allowing the development of Business as Mission to be incubated from within the local context.</span></span></div>

Each day had a theme and there were prizes awarded for participation and spirit.<br />
The week culminated in a pep rally and basketball games for the guys and the girls basketball teams.<br />
Caleb is on the guys basketball team, so we had fun cheering him on during the game.<br />

<br />
This week saw the team from Emprendimiento Mundial engaged in a 2014 planning retreat about an hour outside of Cochabamba. We spent the time engaged in forming our new objectives for the coming year, solidifying our goals, defining our measurements, and developing our activities. A significant amount of our focus going forward will be engagement in the area of Business as Mission and Marketplace Ministry alongside local congregations. It will be very exciting to see how God moves local churches to engage the ministry of work within their local context. I have great expectations for the coming year and we invite you to pray with us as we continue to take our ministry on the road in 2014.<br />

We would like to introduce you to Elizabeth. Eli works with CBM at our office cleaning up our significant mess, arranging accommodations for Short Term Mission teams, and generally takes care of all us foreigners as if we were her own family. Some of you may recognize her from your own STM trip to Cochabamba. Today we are celebrating a milestone in Eli's life...her new carnet (Bolivian Identity Card).<br />

Elizabeth was abandoned as a child and has gone through life without an official identity card. This means that she has been a person without a country, born in Bolivia yet unable to participate as a citizen...until today. For the past year we have been working with several lawyers to help her move through the complicated system of getting an official identity with the Bolivian Government. After several hurdles and a significant amount of frustration, Eli is now an official citizen of Bolivia with all her rights as such.</div>

This is a big deal for her! Until today she has been unable to vote, unable to hold a bank account, unable to get access to education. She has literally been denied the most basic rights that everyone else takes for granted. What is she going to do with her new found freedom? She plans to start training as a seamstress, a trade that will offer her more stability and financial independence. We are so proud of her!<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Over the past couple of months my colleagues with Emprendimiento Mundial and myself have been doing a series of workshops on Business as Mission and Integral Mission in various cities in Bolivia. We started the sessions in the city of Potosi where we had the opportunity to teach about marketplace ministry to local leaders and youth. Last weekend we were able to take the roadshow to the youth convention in the city Oruro where we were able to combine leadership development with a theology of work to train up-and-coming leaders from throughout the country. Along with my CBM colleague, David Nacho, and my EM teammates we were able to introduce young people to the idea that church encompasses our other six days. Most of the youth that were participating are currently studying the various institutions for careers as varied as law, physical therapy, chemical engineering, and mathematics, clearly a group far smarter than I. It was exciting to see their response as they began to imagine what it would look like to engage "church" in the context of the marketplace and their workplaces.</div>

Business as Mission, a significant part of the work of EM, includes an understanding that the marketplace is both a mission field as well as part of God's mission for this world. It is exciting to see young entrepreneurs and professionals engage in reflection on how their churches can embrace ministry to the marketplace and how they can begin to build capacity, from within the congregational context, members of their communities faith for the purpose of reaching out beyond the four walls of their church buildings and beyond Sunday into Monday morning.<br />

For many this is a new concept and somewhat foreign. It is not easily embraced as for many, that are members of evangelical churches, there is a belief that the work of the church exists solely in the traditional forms of ministry, evangelism, preaching, Sunday school, and church planting. Our work is not meant to undermine these understandings, but rather to help fellow believers to see that the work of the church can be so much more and can engage people where they live and where they work in ways that are truly meaningful. For so many Christians there is a disconnect between Sunday and Monday, between their faith and their work. There's been much conversation over the past few decades regarding the existence of a secular/spiritual divide that exists within the mindset of many Christian disciples. It is our belief that this division should not exist and that all aspects of our lives, including our work, come under the Lordship of Jesus Christ and therefore must be taken into account in how we think through the ministry of the church.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This hasn't been an easy task and admittedly it has been difficult moving churches from a place of understanding to a place of action, but we are beginning to see small grassroots movements taking place throughout the country, individual communities of faith taking God's call to mission seriously and engaging the community around them in ways that meet needs directly. This is being done through small local preschool programs; this is being done through youth sports programs; this is being done through literacy programs, and it is being done by local people for local people. One of the more rewarding aspects of our work in Bolivia is to be given the privilege of coming alongside these communities, to support their efforts through training, prayer, and encouragement. My colleagues in EM and I will be spending a couple of days together later this month to plan out our roadshow activities for 2014. We invite you to pray with us for God's leading as we continue the work of supporting local congregations as they reach out to their local communities with the gospel message through both word and deed. </div>
