Worship at Rosemount UMCWe are coming to the conclusion of our "FIVE GREAT STORIES OF THE FAITH" series. If you know these five stories you will be able to share your faith in Christ with others. Here's a recap:
The Great Commandment- You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind. You shall love your neighbor as yourself. Matthew 22:37-39
The Great Commitment- If any want to become my followers let them deny themselves, take up their cross and follow me. Matthew 16:24
The Great Requirement- What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, love kindness and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8
The Great Commission- Go therefore and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:16
The Great Redemption- For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
With this common background of the story of the Christian faith, we move now into some practical tools on how to share your faith. We are using the book, TESTIMONY by Thomas G. Long for our setting.

Take the Next Step…Toward Tithing!
Our annual fall finance campaign, which provides the resources for RUMC’s operating budget, will soon be upon us. This year, we will review the principles of stewardship and joyful giving – invaluable lessons to help us each take that Next Step Toward Tithing.
We are stewards of God’s resources. Nothing really belongs to us; it all belongs to God. And as stewards of those resources, God assures us that, by meeting others’ needs, our own will be met. He calls on us to live a life guided by lordship, not hoardship, and to tithe to support the work of the church.
While tithing calls for giving 10% of one’s income to God’s work, for many people it seems an unrealistic goal. If that’s the case with you, you can still heed God’s call. Just Take the Next Step…Toward Tithing. If you currently give 4% of your income to the work of the church, move to 5% this year, with a plan that the following year you will go to 6%. The idea is, if you haven’t already started, if you haven’t taken that Next Step, do it this year.
This fall we’ll hear and read about these principles of stewardship. At services on November 29th and December 3rd, we will joyfully commit our pledges of support to the church. Let’s all take that Next Step together!
News from the Outreach Team
Have you been to the movies in Rosemount lately? If you have, I hope that you noticed that some of your RUMC friends graciously allowed us to use their pictures in marketing our church. The ads will run through February, and are just one of the ways that the Outreach Team has begun to use our new brand to spread the word about our church in the community. We also handed out postcards and Tootsie Rolls from a convertible in the Leprechaun Days parade (thanks, Dan!), purchased an ad in the Sun Current newspaper, put up directional signs in the church, sent out postcards to new Rosemount residents, and bought lapel pins. Our big upcoming project is a new sign on Canada Avenue near the entrance to the parking lot. We hope to save some money by installing it ourselves, so be looking for a great volunteer opportunity coming up soon! Jim Dibley

Mission NewsLetter from Greg Strock, missionary supported by RUMC:
Dear RUMC,
First of all I want to thank you for your past support and prayers for me and the ministry here in the Czech Republic. You have been a part of making so much possible here. God has chosen to use you in furthering His Kingdom in Central Europe.
I also want to give you a bit of a report on what has happened since I moved here in January. It has been a wonderful, difficult, stressful, fulfilling, stretching, and God-filled 8 months. During the winter I focused mainly on two things. I spent about half of my time studying the Czech language. Czech is one of the harder languages to learn for English speakers, so I have many years of future study ahead of me.
The other part of my time was spent with three youth groups through out the Czech Republic. Two of them I had worked with before. The third was a new church for me. All three of them have long histories. During the summer I helped each of the youth groups host evangelistic English camps. In each of the youth groups I sensed that God is doing something new. He spoke to us through Isaiah 43:18-21…“Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
See I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?”One of these churches is a 95-year-old church plant that has yet to grow to the point of self-sustenance. They have been simply existing as a 20+ member congregation for the past century. God clearly spoke to us last spring through the above verse. He wanted us to seek His will for the youth group and church. We believed Him and hosted an evangelistic English Camp this summer. One girl became a believer at camp. About half way through camp Hanka saw her need for God. She simply asked her small group leader “How can I know God?” The answer was simple: through faith in Jesus Christ. Please pray for Hanka as she grows in her new faith.
During the summer I led a team of four interns (3 Americans, 1 Czech). Together we worked alongside my three churches to host the English camps. All four of my interns grew a ton over the 11-week internship. All of them are now praying about God’s call for them in fulltime missions. It was a privilege to lead them through the internship since I was in the same place eight years ago.
This next year I will be focusing on 3 areas. First is obviously learning the Czech language. Secondly I will be attempting to finish my master’s degree from Bethel Seminary via distance education. And thirdly I will continue working with my three churches helping them to reach out to students in their communities.
If you are interested in being a part of my support team through prayer or finances please contact me:

Letter from Becky Harrell, EMANA Coordinator:
Dearest friends and family of Emana and Instituto Agricola KusayapuMany things have occurred these past months and it is now time to share with our family in the United States. All of you have been aware of our economic condition due to the decline in enrollment over the past several years. Our research and conversations throughout the altiplano and northern region has produced the following decisions, which come only after much discussion (two years) and study.
At the leadership of District Superintendent Maximo Calderon and with the approval of the Junta Administrativa (Board of Directors) of EMANA, Corporacion Metodista in Santiago, and Obispo Neftali Aravena of the Methodist Church of Chile, it has been decided to change the scope of work at Instituto Agricola Kusayapu. That change will come in many forms, so I would like to share that vision with you.
Our first work has been to visit with and work in conversation with the Minister of Education offices in Iquique, who have helped guide us through this process.
We are aware that there is no longer a desire of the Andean youth to study in an internado (or boarding school) setting and few want to study agriculture. Approved plans are to no longer offer high school level studies at Kusayapu. We will, of course, make sure that our juniors are either offered a way to complete their agriculture title next year at Kusayapu or in another nearby agriculture school. Also, we have received an open door invitation from colegios Robert Johnson and William Taylor (our sister Methodist schools) in Alto Hospicio to accept our freshman and sophomore students without question.
Just last night we met with the Directivos of Kusayapu (Principal Jose Salgado, Vice Principal Gabriel Cayo, Chaplain Pastor Ricardo Rojas, Head of Curriculum Jose Quiroz, and Head of Production Paulo Huerta) who were informed of this decision to change the scope of Instituto Agricola Kusayapu. Although somewhat shocked and surprised, after discussion ensued all agreed that our inability to even meet payroll on a month to month basis and complete inability to meet payroll taxes and other expenses like providing meals to teachers and students and fuel for transportation all played a huge factor. This process has begun and parents and students will be notified in October 2006 in a special meeting. As I will not be in Chile at that time, Pastor Maximo Calderon will head up the dialog.
Important to the Junta Administrativa of EMANA and EMANA staff is for our teachers and staff to have the opportunity to contract new jobs in 2007. Had we waited until December to give them this notice, most 2007 jobs would have already been taken, and doing so would not have been responsible on our part. Not all staff will be retired. Some of the remaining staff at Instituto Agricola Kusayapu may have schedule and duty changes, but work at the Instituto will continue as our responsibility to the Andean community continues.
Our next step, upon my return from training at GBGM will be to begin plans for 2007 Adult Education classes at Instituto Agricola Kusayapu; begin the steps to assist the farmers throughout the altiplano in investigation and research of new and better seed crops and production; automation of the Kusayapu library to open this library to all residents of the Canyon Tarapaca; begin computer training classes; offer technical training to adults and young Bolivian youth who are working the farms in most pueblos. The women of Pachica are asking for us to open our property in Huara as a location for them to sell their artisan crafts. UCLA in 2007 will build a new museum and research center in the Canyon Tarapaca, which will effect the population and tourism of the area. Properties in Matilla and Enquelga will be highly critical to the agriculture investigation and research to take place, so it is important that small centers of study be built and begun. EMANA will be expanding our Medical, Dental and Eye Glasses Program to reach the people of the altiplano and even into Bolivia via locations in Colchane on the border.
EMANA will soon become the social organization umbrella for much of the social work of the Methodist Church here in the northern region of Chile relating to the needs of the Andean people, and Instituto Agricola Kusayapu will play a huge part of in that. We have a lot of work to do and we cannot advance in this work without your prayers, without your support, without your help. It is never easy to admit times and needs have changed. But we have done that. We have faced the change and are willing to follow the Lord in what He has planned.
Our hopes for our Student Sponsorship Program are to move that project to the Second Methodist Church CEREMI project which daily feeds and cares for the children in a nearby, poverty stricken barrio. The new CAF project (Central Attencion Familiar) deals with assisting the women of Alto Hospicio, mostly Aymara. These are people who have migrated to the city from the pueblo and are now in dire need.
It is also of great importance for EMANA to join in the discussion regarding water…or the lack of it…throughout the altiplano. We have witnessed the damage being done by mining and are ready to take our agriculture experts to address water and land contamination to those within government and beyond.
Instituto Agricola Kusayapu is also a perfect place of rest, retreat, resolve, reflection, restoration, rejoicing, revival, and renewal and we pray groups will seek to visit her for just those needs.
Teams are planned right now for January 2007. The Cogswell's have planned to come and build needed desks for Instituto Agricola Kusayapu...and we feel the need is even more important now that we will be teaching and training adults and young adults. The Jarrett and Rockbridge teams will be coming to help us in building and painting and repairs. All of which are desperately needed for us to begin 2007 with new programs. And we would ask you to join us also.
EMANA has a huge role to play in the lives of the Aymara people, and we ask you to continue down this path with us. There is still quite a bit of infrastructure which needs to be built, there is painting to be done, there are repairs and roofing, there is a great need for your help, your prayers, your guidance and support. Work teams, medical teams, dental teams, eye glass teams, and individual volunteers are needed to help in our Adult Education training and classes.
It is with great love for God, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit which lives within us….and for you that I must inform you of these changes. Please know that I share my tears with you as you read this letter and my heart remains yours.
Your servant,
Becky Harrell
