PEEBLES BAPTIST CHURCH

They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we seeyou hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needingclothes or sick or in prison, and did not helpyou?' "He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, what-ever you did not do for one of the least of these,you did not do for me.'

Matthew 25: 4445

The River Tweed is not warm. I know, becauseI went paddling in it today to try to work out

where it would be deep enough to baptisesomeone - as were planning to do in a couple of

weeks time. Its not warm, and its not very clean

either - there was a rather unpleasant foamy scumfloating down the river, not to mention the years ofaccumulated duck and fish poo that my (sandalled)feet stirred up.

Yes - cold, dirty... and rather embarrassing. I couldsee some very strange looks coming from dog walkers passing by, wond-ering what this strange man was doing in the river. I dont think anyone

actually called the police, but I didnt hang around too long just in case.

I wonder if those would be the thoughts uppermost in my mind if I were apastor in Afghanistan. In June 2010, the deputy secretary of the AfghanParliament called for the execution of Christian converts, after seeing

baptisms of Afghan Christians on television. Afghanistan is only one ofseveral countries where to publicly confess Jesus Christ as Lord istantamount to inviting real, physical, violent persecution.

Baptism is at its heart a deeply subversive act - it is a counter-culturalstatement, an act of revolution against the status quo. In baptism we sayto the watching world: Enough of your wars and greed and violence andrevenge and torture and racism and homophobia and self-worship andsexism and xenophobia. It stops here in my life. I choosethe path of Christ and his commandment of love.

So, whos next?

From the Editor

This magazine seems to have a lot to say about aid overseas, at least

the last six pages are all about it.

BMS World Mission General Director David Kerrigan responds to

questions regarding foreign aid after comments made by MP

Godfrey Bloom dismissing it as a flawed attempt at helping other

countries.

There is also an update from the Scottish Bible Society regarding

the situation in Egypt and the destruction of Bible Society

bookshops there.

Not all aid goes abroad though, and we

must remember the opportunities we

have through our own church for the

community we live in. For example our

work with the elderly and less able at

Dovecot Court and Vickys Tearoom.

Please also remember the Peebleshire

Foodbank that started up recently; to

enable this work, we need to continue to

donate simple food products (you can

bring these to church on Sunday and they

will be dropped off at the Foodbank the

following day). Theyre particularly short

at the moment of the items shown in red!

Tour of Britain Cycling EventSunday 15th September 2013

Notification of closuresIn Peebles, the High Street will be closed from Sunday morning 3amto at least 1.00pm on Sunday 15th September. There will be no park-ing or through traffic availability on the High Street during thesetimes.

During the main activity of the Grand Depart from 10.15 10.35am,there will be a rolling road closure from the west end of the HighStreet, onto the Neidpath Road (A72 Glasgow Rd)/ Young Street/March Street/ Edinburgh Road/ exiting Peebles via the A72 east to-wards Glentress and Innerleithen. Parking will also be suspendedaround this route. The road will open immediately after the cyclistsand the support vehicles have passed and I anticipate approximately10 minutes of road closure on these roads in the town centre.

Whilst there are restrictions on parking in the town centre, please

note that the main car parks in Peebles will still be open and parkingwill still available on those streets not affected by the closures.

The route continues through Innerleithen over the Nest to Sel-kirk, turning onto the A7 towards Hawick, Newcastleton andfinishing in Drumlanrig Castle in Dumfries and Galloway.


9/24

On September 15th, we will be holding a service of believers baptism inthe River Tweed! Believers baptism is, as the name suggests, for peoplewho are old enough to decide for themselves that they want to follow

Jesus Christ, and make a public declaration of that fact by being fullyimmersed in water.

Baptists believe that this is the only form of baptism that the Bibleteaches, and we strongly encourage all those who seek to follow Jesusto obey his command to be baptised. Of course, in many countriesaround the world, people risk being shunned by their families, sackedfrom their jobs, thrown into prison or even worse, by declaring their

faith in Jesus in this way.There will therefore be no morning service in the Victoria Park Centrethat day - our service will be beside the Swimming Pool, where the Cud-dy joins the Tweed (see the yellow dot on the map to the left). If you aredriving to the service, please be aware of the parking restrictions inforce that day because of the Tour of Britain - all the roads edged in redwill be no waiting that morning, and Tweed Green will be two-way

rather than its usual one-way.Obviously we have to be careful of safety, and if rain during the preced-ing hours or days means that the river would be hazardous we mayhave to revert to the VPC. Last minute changes will be posted on thechurch website - peeblesbaptistchurch.org. Please check there, or callone of the deacons, if you are in any doubt.

Please do invite friends along to this service - it should be lots of fun,

and the fact that Peebles will be swamped with spectators for the cyclerace means that we will be very much in the public eye! Most of all,therefore, please pray for Carol as she prepares for baptism, for thosewho see it, and for the planning of the whole event.


10/24

Prayer Points Thank GOD that Chattabox was such a fun, well-run event and

that many children heard about Jesus. Give thanks for those

who were willing to give up a week of their time (and more for

the organisers), and ask that they will be given time and oppor-

tunity to rejuvenateand for us all to be encouraged by GODS

good works.

Messy Church returns after the summer on August 31st. Pray

that new families would come along to this following Chattabox.

Please also pray for new leaders and helpers to come forward

for this exciting ministry.

Please continue to pray for Jennifer as she continues her recov-

ery at Hay Lodge Hospital. Pray for the Kings Meadow community garden, for this period

of planning while grant applications are discussed, formed andsubmitted. Pray for wise prioritisation of what any grant money

should be used for, and, most of all, pray that the garden will

create opportunities for engagement with the community. Continue to pray for the Peebleshire Foodbank: for the practical

arrangements, for the volunteers, and for the clients who use

the service, and that there will be a regular series of prayer eve-

nings regarding this.

Pray for our friend John Blyth, Bill Speirs son-in-law, as he

continues to battle illness.

Pray for the families of the victims caught up in the massacre in

Cairo; and also the devastation of human life in Syria caused by

conflict. May God in His Mercy Intervene. Pray for the folks in our fellowship and friends of our fellowship

who are feeling poorly- Margaret McLeod, Janette Dow, Jane

and John from Lerwick.

Pray for the induction of new minister George Mackenzie, on

Saturday 31st August at Hawick.

Dr Jane Bentley is leading another Singing workshop in St Jo-

sephs Neighbourhood centre on Sept 3rd at 2PM. Please prayabout this, and for the older folk who will receive the benefit

from it, as people are trained.

Thank God and praise Him for the Baptismal Service on 15th

September; pray that all will go well and that through the Wit-

ness and public testimony people will come to Christ.

Renewal GroupFor the past nine years I have gone on a retreat to St Marys Monasteryon Kinoull Hill in Perth. The first time I went it was on a private re-

treat, the idea being to spend time with GOD, listening more than in-terceding, away from the busyness of everyday life. I first got the ideafrom the book Listening to God by Joyce Huggett, and Ive found afew days spent in this way so beneficial; the blessings are so out of pro-portion to the time spent in GODS presence.

Eight years ago, when I tried to book up, the weekend that I wantedhad already been booked by, wait for it, A Roman Catholic, Charis-matic, Intercessory, Renewal Prayer Group from Aberdeenshire. Ihad to phone back in a few days to see if there was room for my friendand me; I was really keen to join them, and prayed to that end. We didmanage to go, and found it a wonderful experience. The folk therecame from traditional Roman Catholic churches but would meet to-gether once week for praise, worship and prayer.

During the weekends, there are meetings for praise, worship andteaching, each of the three leaders giving a talk. The gifts of the spirit

are encouraged, with words of wisdom, knowledge, prophecy and dis-cernment being used. On Saturday afternoons there is a time for indi-vidual prayer ministry, which I have gone to each time. The last timeCharles and I went, one of the leaders, Ged, and his wife Margaretprayed for us and then asked us to pray for them. In fact, once I wasasked to be part of the prayer ministry team and to read the Bible inchurch. I felt so privileged and honoured as that year I was the onlyprotestant in the place. During the main meetings there is also an op-portunity to go forward for prayer ministry from the leadership team;last year Janus, one of the leaders, came and laid hands on each per-son individually and spoke words from GOD for that person.

Just before I went to Kinoull a few years ago, I was talking to Christineon the phone and telling her where Charles and I were going for theweekend. She said Oh, that will make Jesus really happy. I was a bitbemused, so she said Well, arent you happy when all your children

get on together and accept each other despite their differences?. Howtrue, but I just hadnt thought how it would please Jesus (John 17:2023).


13/24

The first evening after the praise and worship time, Ged asked if any-one had anything to share that GOD had given them before arriving atKinoull. I shared what my friend had said, and another lady confirmed

that GOD had said the same to her through scripture before she lefthome.

I have phoned Tony, the organiser of the retreat, in Keith a few timeswith prayer requests, and he has also asked me to pray for his family,church etc. How true Psalm 133 is.

I will be joining the Aberdeen group in Perth again this year (1113October), so if anyone is interested in coming along, please speak toCharles. There are forty to fifty of us altogether, the group is veryfriendly, accommodation is very comfortable and the food is great!

Designer Shades and

Foreign Aid: Q&A with

David KerriganHow allegedly racist language from a politician and a

Christian perspective on sending money overseas re-

late to BMS World Mission, according to our General

Director.

Giving 1bn a month to Bongo Bongo Land

thats howa British MEP described foreign

aid this week.

The UKIP politician suggested that aid money ended

up paying for designer sunglasses, sports cars and

apartments in Paris. He also argued that he objected to

the Government essentially forcing taxpayers to give to

charity overseas.

BMS has long provided aid overseas with little Government assis-

tance, so we asked our General Director, David Kerrigan, what he

thought

What do you think of using terms like Bongo Bongo Land to

refer to countries that receive aid?

I think that, irrespective of what Godfrey Bloom

actually says, the reality is that that kind of

phrase betrays a very old world attitude of supe-

riority towards the rest of the world. And whilst

he may say it is not in any way overtly racist, it

is a coded comment for a disparaging view ofdeveloping countries or countries simply a long

way from the UK.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23597233http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23597233http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23597233http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23597233


15/24

What should Christians make of it?

I believe that we should have absolutely no truck with that kind of per-

spective on other parts of the world. Irrespective of whether they are eco-

nomically poorer than ours, culturally different from ours or speak a dif-

ferent language, we are all part of humankind and respect between na-

tions and between peoples is fundamental to a Christian worldview.

What about the substance of what he was saying: that aid sent

to the developing world ends up paying for designer sunglasses

and apartments in Paris?

If we were being ruthlessly honest, we could go back in

history and find examples where the UK and other

countries did give aid to dictatorships and turned a

blind eye as to how that was used. Perhaps in BMS ex-

perience, the worst example of that was in Zaire (now D

R Congo) where billions of pounds were given to Presi-

dent Mobutu over many years. He spent that money

hiring Concorde to fly him to and from Paris with suit-

case loads of cash for shopping expeditions. I dont be-lieve that kind of abuse is happening today and I would say that DfID is

far more accountable and demands the same level of accountability from

its partners.

And what about the argument that such aid is making a better

life for people in other countries, while people in this country

have their own problems?

If you take that to its extreme, then you will never help people in other

parts of the world while there is any need in our own country. A Christian

world view would demand that we seek to help our neighbour, irrespec-

tive of where that neighbour is and irrespective of whether we have needs

closer to home. Having said that, we also have to address issues of pov-

erty and injustice at home. I dont believe they should be mutually exclu-

sive. I certainly dont believe that we can afford to say that we will onlyaddress world problems when we have sorted out every problem at home.

Thats a recipe for inaction and selfishness.


16/24

As the head of a mission that sends aid overseas, how do you

respond to people who say they are happy to give money to

charities like BMS, but not to have their taxes used for over-

seas charity?

I can understand why some people are not happy to see some of their tax-

es going in aid to other parts of the world. I might not be happy that part

of my taxes is used to fund nuclear weapons. But part of the strength and

weakness of a democracy is that we set aside men and women to govern

and they are entitled to make decisions on things like foreign aid. If we

dont like that, I dont think we can have a pick and choose mentality

when it comes to taxes. You have the option to exercise that at the ballot

box, and thats the way to make that choice.Why should our government spend our taxes on helping people

overseas?

There are many reasons why countries

should be involved in giving aid. There are

some problems whose scale and enormity

demand the scale of involvement that onlynation states can bring. We see this regularly

in the wake of natural disasters, where in the

early weeks, you need a multinational re-

sponse in order to address the scale of the

problem.

We should not think of nation states as being

devoid of conscience or ethics either. It should matter to a government

when they see chronic poverty and a lack of access to education and op-

portunity in other parts of the world. Some of this is a question of self-

interest: we have seen in the past how young people can easily be radical-

ised if they do not have employment and educational opportunities in

their own countries. There is a practical reason for overseas aid, but I be-

lieve it is possible to speak about the conscience of a nation and the Unit-ed Kingdom has a long and honourable history of being generous towards

countries that lack the wealth and opportunity that we have.

BMS relief work following a

cyclone in India


17/24

We started a new initiative at the Thirsty all-age

service on July 28th. Everyone was invited to take a

bottle of water home, and to use it to collect any

small change. On the first Sunday of each month -

First Thirsty -we will have a thirsty collection,

where people can bring in their bottles and the chil-

dren will collect up the change. The money will be

sent to BMS World Mission, who will use it to help

children who would consider a bottle of clean watermore valuable than a bottle of money to save their

lives.

There is, of course, another dimension to all this. And that is that much of

our nations wealth has, over centuries, been the fruit of the reach of em-

pire and the way in which we have taken advantage of the resources and

the people in other parts of the world. So there are historical reasons, too,

why we should be willing to fulfil our international obligations, as I be-

lieve we do. We could always do more, but I don't believe we should doless.

Is money donated to BMS being spent on designer sunglasses

and apartments in Paris?

Absolutely not. BMS takes stringent precautions from the very outset to

ensure that all our project partners are capable of delivering quality work

and that they do fulfil the purposes for which any grant is given. We haveinternationally recognised money-laundering checks to ensure the

strength and integrity of any organisation we work with. We vet written

reports on how money has been spent and we make regular visits to pro-

jects in order to see with our own eyes the difference that the work is

making to people who desperately need it. And if we had questions about

the ability of a partner to fulfil their obligations, we wouldnt hesitate to

cease funding that piece of work.

Dear friends,Its with great sadness that I have to inform you of the burning and destruction of

Bible Society bookshops in amongst the violence in Egypt over recent days.Fortunately, the bookshops were closed at the time and no harm came to Bible So-ciety staff or customers. However, in Assiut and Minia (two of the largest cities in

southern Egypt) attackers demolished the metal doors protecting the bookshops,

broke the store windows behind them and set the bookshops on fire. The same

happened to many stores next to the bookshops as well. You may have heard

through the news that there have been attacks on churches and Christian schools

too.

I would like to ask your church to join us in prayer for this situation and for our work

in Egypt. In addition to prayer, if your church is able and willing to give generously

to help our brothers and sisters in Egypt to rebuild these bookshops and provide

support to Christians in these communities, we would value this greatly. We know

our supporters are consistently generous in their financial giving to Bible Society

projects but we are asking them to respond during this time of crisis.Please will you consider the following:

Pray

Please join us in prayer this Sunday: That the government manages to disperse further protests as peacefully as


19/24

possible, with few injuries and without loss of lives. For protection for all Christian properties across Egypt. That these sad incidents would not increase the alienation of the Muslim Broth-

erhood but that they would somehow be re-integrated into Egyptian society. For Christians to have a spirit of forgiveness and love towards those who are

perceived as being our enemies.Give thanks for the Bible Society of Egypt and its 129 years of operation. Pray forthe protection and work of its staff as they seek to rebuild their bookshops and findways to support their communities in the midst of the crisis.

Give

In addition to asking your congregation to join us in prayer, please ask them to con-

sider giving generously to the rebuilding of the bookshops and work of the Bible

Society. You can do this in the following ways: You may wish to ask your church to pray and consider this on Sunday and for

them to come prepared the following Sunday when you take up a collection.

You may wish to take up a collection this Sunday upon sharing this news and

praying together.You may wish to ask people to contact the Scottish Bible Society directly to make adonation atwww.scottishbiblesociety.orgor 0131 337 9701.

We can provide a short PowerPoint presentation and printable fact sheet. Pleaseemail us at:[email protected] request this.Thank you for your time and prayerful consideration to help us in our work.Elaine Duncan

Church Members MeetingThe next regular Members Meeting will be held on Wednesday25th September, at 7.30pm. Venue to be confirmed.

Church members meetings are an important part of our life together inthe Baptist Church. The church meeting is an illustration of the priest-hood of all believers - it is the occasion when members come together toprayerfully discern Gods will for their life together. In Baptist

churches the final authority rests not with the ministers or dea-cons but with the members gathered together in church meet-ings. It is the church meeting which, for instance, appoints min-isters, elders, deacons and others who exercise various forms ofleadership within a local congregation, agrees financial policyand determines mission strategy.

Our next church members meeting, will

amongst other things be looking at the nextsteps for the Kings Meadow. Please make thismeeting a priority, and ensure that you givesome time to preparing for it in prayer.
