| description: | EarthCare DTS Course description This a new 25 week course starting Oct 4 2009 and finishing on March 26 2010. The EarthCare DTS introduces students to a Biblical approach to managing and caring for natural resources and the environment. It will make this approach real to the students, by giving them hands-on experience in working with poor villagers in a developing country to improve their agricultural practices and their lives. The course aims to give students an opportunity to deepen their relationship with God and discover new ways to reach out with Christ’s compassion to those who are oppressed, poor or disabled in rural communities. EarthCare focuses on God as Creator and sustainer of the earth. EarthCare students will develop skills in working with poor rural communities to develop ways to improve their land, gain first-hand experience of conditions in a developing country, and learn how to share their faith in practical ways. Students will participate in aspects of: •training poor rural communities in simple sustainable agriculture technologies •testing, monitoring and demonstrating appropriate EarthCare practices. •teaching the foundational Biblical principles of EarthCare •evangelism through word and action to bring the good news of Jesus Christ The teaching phase will be based in Oxford, New Zealand with some weeks in other community based and wilderness areas. The outreach phase will be in New Zealand and S E Asia from mid November 2008 until the end of February 2010. |

| description: | ANZAC DTS Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore, rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies And the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side, Here in this country of ours. You, the mothers, who sent their sons from far away countries... Wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosom And are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land, they have Become our sons as well Are you an Aussie; a Kiwi; a Pacific Islander? Well if so, we need YOU! WHY ANZAC? In the fires of World War 1 emerged a phenomenal legend known for its bravery, audacity and camaraderie. From the far-flung corners of the earth came the joining of two little nations that would stand together on multiple battlefronts and earn massive respect amongst their allies and enemies alike. That legend became known as the ANZAC: Australia New Zealand Army Corps. The Anzac legend embedded itself on the conscience of history in 1915 when as part of the British allied forces, the Anzac’s fought the Turks on the Gallipoli Peninsula; the hope to secure one of history’s most sought after waterways. In this battle 8,000 Australians lost their lives, over 2,700 New Zealanders, but over 70,000 Turkish young men lost their lives defending their own land. (In WW1 Pacific Islanders were conscripted into the New Zealand regiments, making the Islands part of the Anzac heritage). Nineteen years later at the Anzac Day memorial service a remarkable incident occurred. The then hero of the Turkish army, turned leader of the Republic of Turkey, gave a history making speech that transformed the relationship between the Anzac and Turk as seen above. Through this incredible speech, a once foe, became forever a friend. Today in modern day Turkey, because of that speech, there still exists a brotherhood-bond between the Anzac and Turk. WHY YOU? God is stirring up the Anzac spirit again. Though this time, not to fight with guns and bombs, but to serve the beautiful Turkish people with love and compassion. While our aim with the Anzac DTS is to train and send young Australians, New Zealanders and people from the Pacific, we will consider anyone who connects to the Anzac story and the Turkish people. As we consider the unprecedented favour the Anzac’s have in Turkey we want to see full-time Christian workers raised up to serve Turkey. This DTS is designed to give you a foretaste of what could well be your future. If you’re serious about growing in God and want to partake in a history-making, dynamic mission opportunity, then this is for you! |
