Revival seeds Germinate Part 2 (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

The book in your hand is the second part of a trilogy, that depicts how the Cape has been impacting other parts of the world through spiritual renewal. All three parts concentrate on events at the Cape. Part 2 takes the reader through Cape spiritual dynamics of the 20th century, with a strong autobiographical component. The author was born and raised in Cape Town but lived in Germany and Holland for many years. He met his wife Rosemarie, a German citizen, while studying overseas in 1969 and 1970. This volume ends chronologically more or less with the preparation for the return of the author from exile with his family in 1992. His residency overseas took place more or less in exile, caused by his friendship and ultimate marriage that was prohibited by an apartheid law. Just like Part 1, the book highlights the yearning for a clear expression of the unity of the Body of Christ in prayer in the run-up to revival. It is suggested that concern to address injustice towards the poor and needy - along with compassionate sensitivity to those who are persecuted for the sake of the Gospel - could be a good litmus test to discern how deep and effective a revival has been.

Autor

Ashley Cloete was born and raised in Cape Town, but lived in Germany and Holland for many years. He served as a teacher while studying extramurally at the University College of the Western Cape in the suburb Bellville. At this time he also served on the executive of the national youth union of the Moravian Church.
A bursary facilitated by the church sent him to Germany in January 1969, where he met his wife Rosemarie while studying Greek and Biblical Hebrew. After completing theological studies at the Moravian Seminaries in Cape Town and Bad Boll (Western Germany), he served as a pastor in West Berlin and Utrecht (Netherlands), with residence in nearby Zeist.
Because of apartheid-related legislation, his marriage led to exile from South Africa. During this period he contended via correspondence with the government of that time to enable a return to the country with his family of seven. A sampleof this correspondence is included in What God Joined Together.
After returning to South Africa in January 1992, the family became involved with prayer and evangelism movements. The blessings and positive impacts in Germany and Holland during exile, inspired the vision of such work in his home country of South Africa. Since 2003 the family has been focusing on compassionate outreach to refugees and other foreigners. This ultimately led to the founding of the organization Friends from Abroad, a low-key umbrella organsiation in which mission agencies and a few churches have been networking since 2006.
Already as a teenager, during the apartheid era in South Africa , Ashley had been impressed with need for a visual local expression of the unity of followers of Jesus according to the prayer of Jesus that his followers may be one (John 17:21-23). This vision became part and parcel of the inspiration to start an evangelistic agency Stichting Goed Nieuws Karavaan in the Dutch town of Zeist in 1983 with believers from different denominations. (He felt that it was the rightful responsibility of committed Christians to face the challenge of racial reconciliation in South Africa.)
Later, together with Messianic Jewish and Muslim-background followers of Jesus a low profile organisation Isaac Ishmael Ministries was established in 2010. The need for successors as leaders of Friends from Abroad gave rise to the start of a new organisation in 2021, the Born Again Believers Network.
Ashley and his wife have been blessed with five children and fourtee...
