Tänase saate külalised Lembe Mõttus ja Aleks Aava räägivad Austraalia külje all asuvast pisikesest saareriigist Vanuatust. Vanuatule minnes avaneb ainulaadne võimalus reisida olevikust minevikku. Näiteks ei ole enamikes majades elektrit – vaid edumeelsemates peredes on väike päikesepatarei katusel ja elektrit mõned tunnid päevas. See tähendab, et kodudes (ja ka poodides) pole isegi külmkappi, mistõttu tuleb tarbida toitu, mis ei vaja külma. Sealjuures on nii mõnigi (ameeriklasest) turist kogu taolise olukorra pärast nii pahur, et nõuab oma elektrita hütikeses konditsioneeri… Veel on saates juttu kohalike meeletust külalislahkusest, mis rolli mängivad külavanemad, miks oleks võimalik ka ilma rahata Vanuatul reisida, kuidas inimesed ei tea enda vanust, miks magusat on hakatud sealmail keelama ja palju muud. Muide, Lembel ilmus hiljuti ka raamat „Vanuatu“. Vestlust juhib Liina Metsküla.

Some mission experts estimate that up to 90% of young people who consider missions cease to pursue it because of various fears and obstacles, including the fear of fundraising. Some workers view fundraising as a rite of passage or as an obstacle to overcome. Others understand God’s purposes to include each follower of Jesus in His worldwide kingdom work through going, serving, sending, praying, encouraging, and giving.

Brianna Muir wrote the Sapiens article, "An Archaeology of Personhood and Abortion: Opinions about fetal personhood and abortion have fluctuated enormously throughout history and differ in surprising ways between cultures." Brianna is a master's student in biological anthropology at the University of Central Florida. As an emerging bioarchaeologist, she is interested in how integrative approaches can be used to address questions of personhood, identity, and agency in the past. In particular, she investigates how these factors may have shaped and influenced a person's lived experiences. Muir received her B.A. from the Australian National University in 2019 and has undertaken fieldwork and research in the Philippines, Vanuatu, and Australia.

This session will share answers on how to select a mission agency. Each person who attends will receive a card when they enter the room. The moderator, John McVay, will group and select questions, direct them to appropriate panelists, and receive questions from the floor. Probable topics discussed from questions expected are: agency focus, doctrine, finances, services, leadership, locations, compatibility.

The Jezero Crater on Mars was targeted by Nasa's Perseverence rover because from orbit, there was strong evidence it had at some point contained a lake. When the Mars 2020 mission landed, it didn't take long to spot rocks protruding from the bottom that looked for all the world like sedimentary rocks – implying they were laid down from the liquid water and maybe perhaps even contain signs of past life. This week, the science team have published some of their analysis from the first 9 months of the mission. And, as Principal Scientist Kenneth Farley of Caltech tells Science In Action, the geology is clearly more complex, as it turns out they are igneous, perhaps resulting from subsequent volcanic activity. Back on earth, Shane Cronin of the University of Auckland has been digging into the legend of the Kuwea volcano in Vanuatu. Folk tales have long talked of an inhabited island that once disappeared beneath the sea. Over the years some have linked these and the submarine caldera with an eruption that occurred in 1452, yet the evidence has been debated. But the Hunga-Tonga eruption earlier this year has shifted Shane's perception of the evidence. As he describes, he now suspects the 1452 eruption was as much as 5-7 times bigger in magnitude, and likely preceded by smaller eruptions that could fit with some of the legends surrounding the story. This type of evidence, interpreted from the testimony of those who live there, is increasingly being employed in conservation studies. Heidi Ma of ZSL in London and colleagues this week declared in Royal Society Open Science, the Dugong – a relative of the manatee - is now functionally extinct in Chinese waters, but they reached this conclusion from interviewing hundreds of individuals in fishing communities along that coast. And very few of them had ever seen one. When CrowdScience listener Eric spotted a few gnats flying around on a milder day in mid-winter, he was really surprised - as surely insects die off in the cold? It got him wondering where the gnats had come from and how they'd survived the previous cold snap. So he asked CrowdScience to do some bug investigation. Presenter Marnie Chesterton takes up the challenge and heads out into the British countryside – currently teeming with buzzes and tiny beasties - to learn about the quite amazing array of tactics these small creatures use to survive the arduous days of cold. She hears how some insects change their chemical structure to enhance their frost resistance whist others hunker down in warmer microclimates or rely on their community and food stocks to keep them warm. Marnie also asks how climate change might be affecting insect over-wintering behaviour - and its implications for the lives of these crucially important organisms. (Image: Jezero Crater.

It's Thursday, August 25th, A.D. 2022. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Chinese raid multiple churches & arrest pastors International Christian Concern reports Chinese officials raided multiple reformed house churches over the last week, detaining their pastors on trumped-up charges. On August 17, police arrested a pastor and his family from Abundant Church and charged them with illegal gathering. Pastor Lian Chang-Nian had injuries to his head and arms after the arrest. He and his family remain missing. On August 19, 170 police raided a family camp held by 70 members of Linfen Holy Covenant Church. Officers searched every person, and took several church workers away. And on August 21, authorities raided the House of Light Church during their worship service. Police dispersed the members and took two of their pastors away. The raid was so violent that two women suffered heart attacks. Please pray for the churches in China during this latest increase in government crackdowns.  According to Open Doors, China is the 17th worst country in the world for Christians. America launches trade talks with Taiwan Last Thursday, the U.S. announced it will begin formal trade talks with Taiwan. This comes after visits to Taiwan by U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other U.S. officials. Angered by this, China launched its largest-ever military exercises around the island country.  Beijing views Taiwan, the island country in the Northwest Pacific Ocean,  as a part of China that must be brought back under its control. But Taiwan maintains its own government distinct from the mainland. Conservative Anglicans affirm Biblical authority Conservative Anglicans gathered at the Global Anglican Future Conference last week to start a new diocese in Australia as they stand for Biblical marriage and sexuality.  Over 300 Anglicans attended from Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and Vanuatu. The new Diocese of the Southern Cross is for Anglicans who have already left the Anglican Church of Australia or are considering doing so. Richard Condie with Global Anglican Future Conference Australia said, “The Diocese of the Southern Cross provides an Anglican home for those who feel they need to leave their current Dioceses. . . . The issue for us is the authority of the Bible.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says, “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." Florida Christian school leader won't back down A Florida Christian school administrator is receiving death threats after saying the school would not accept students living sexually perverted lifestyles. Back in June, Barry McKeen, the Administrator at Grace Christian School, told parents in an email, “We believe that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, transgender identity/lifestyle, self-identification, bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery and pornography are sinful in the sight of God and the church.”  The death threats came after NBC News quoted the email last week. McKeen explained that the Bible is the standard for their Christian school policies. McKEEN:  “Our school does not allow students to be homosexuals or transgender. Even our students who are heterosexual, they shouldn't be sexual at all. God condemns any sexual activity outside of marriage.    “A student cannot come to our school, knowingly for us, and be transgender or homosexual. That is rooted in the scriptures. God has spoken on those issues explicitly, aggressively. We have had these policies in our school since day number one in the early 1970s.” The Christian pastor and school administrator refused to backpedal under the threats. MCKEEN: “It's not something I shrink from. We weren't looking for attention. But I'm also not going to cower from it and I'm not going to backpedal. It is our policy now; it will be our policy going forward. Because of what I said in the email to our parents on June the sixth. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. He does not change.” James 1:12 says, “Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love Him.” U.S. government schools lost 2 million students A recent poll from Education Next found that public schools lost two million students between 2020 and 2021. The millions of students leaving the public schools are headed into charter schools, private schools, or homeschools. Over the last two years, the percentage of private school students increased from 8% to 10%; charter schooling increased from 5% to 7%; and homeschooling increased from 6% to 7% which is double what it was in 2016.

David's comfortable world is turned upside down when his birthmother unexpectedly reaches out to him, longing to meet the 18-year-old son she's only held once. With the encouragement of his adoptive parents, David embarks on a journey of discovery that leads to a staggering truth from his past. Watch the trailer through a special link at www.TheWorldview.com.   Premature baby girl beat the odds And finally, in God's providence, a baby girl who was given a 50/50 chance of surviving after birth was able to go home last week. Tyler Robinson had to give birth four months early last winter after she suffered a uterine rupture. Baby Autumn came into the world weighing 1.1 pounds. She then spent over 500 days in the hospital getting special treatment because of her underdeveloped lungs. But now, 17-month-old Autumn is finally home. Robinson said Autumn was a fighter from the start. ROBINSON: “If she comes out fighting, then we're gonna fight. She came out feisty and they nicknamed her ‘Feisty.' From then on, I'm like, ‘She's just a fighter!'” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Thursday, August 25th, in the year of our Lord 2022. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.
