    Harry Kindelberger

    Meridian ID

    Associate Pastor at Discovery Church in Boise, Idaho whose primary focus is discipleship and cultural engagement. Brandon is a passionate leader who is constantly seeking to challenge and empower leaders to look outside the church walls to engage the culture around them with the gospel regardless of their age, gender or background. He travels regularly as an evangelist and speaker for Youth With A Mission (YWAM) Disciple Training Schools around the nation and in Mexico. In 2004, on his first mission trip, Brandon’s life was radically changed. He observed his pastor selflessly share water with refugee children straight from his own water bottle. Brandon had refused their request moments prior. He realized in that moment he had accepted Jesus but had never truly surrendered his life to God. As a 19 year old, Brandon made the decision to become a fully devoted follower of Jesus in every way. It was a defining moment that began to shape his ministry for years to come. A recent trip to Eritrean refugee camps has opened doors for relationship among refugees who have relocated to Boise. He has become deeply immersed in relationships and community life beyond just a mere appreciation for their culture. Brandon and His wife live in Boise, Idaho and have one adopted son from the Democratic Republic of Congo. As a family they travel and inspire others to understand the simple Gospel of Grace and adoption into God’s family through Jesus Christ.

    Hugh Friberg

    Nampa ID First Nazarene, Nampa ID

    Hugh and Evelyn Friberg spent most of their adult lives serving as career missionaries with the Church of the Nazarene General Board of World Missions in southeast and southern Africa. Hugh served as a pastor among Portuguese-speaking residents of Maputo, (People's Republic of) Mozambique, for nearly four years. Four years as lead editor of Nazarene publications for Africa Region while living in Johannesburg, Republic of South Africa, during the latter apartheid years, were very formative in ministry in a complex multi-cultural context. Four more years were spent in Johannesburg teaching South African student-pastors, along with twenty-one years in the Kingdom of Swaziland at Nazarene College of Theology. Working with developing national staff and instructing fantastic pastor-students brought a great sense of ministry convergence. Several of those years in Swaziland were spent in ministry among refugees from East Africa and in an inter-denominational and international Christian fellowship in a nearby agricultural community. Now retired and living in Nampa, Idaho, the Fribergs are enjoying ministry in their home church and in Perspectives. Their greatest ministry, however, is helping guide six wonderful grandchildren to maturity! Want to see their pictures?

    How Shall They Hear?

    Culture and intercultural communication of the gospel. Communicating the gospel with relevance at the worldview level helps avoid syncretism (blending of cultural error with God?s truth) and also enables powerful movements of the gospel. Sensitive missionaries will look for ways that God has preserved or prepared people to hear the gospel, often finding redemptive analogies for God's truth.

• • Lesson 13

    The Spontaneous Multiplication of Churches

    Look beyond institutional features of churches to understand churches as dynamic movements of Christ Himself being followed. Such a view of churches as organic, living things opens up the practicality of seeing them multiply rapidly as movements and also flourish in society bearing the fruit of social transformation. Churches as counter-communities, acting as salt and light, bringing change to their cultures. How movements multiply by connecting with entire families and larger social structures.
