Serious Joy SPRING 2016VOL. VII, NO. 2

A Semi-annual Report to Friends of Bethlehem College & Seminary

One of the key, desired outcomes of our mission as a school is that “we exist to spread a passion for the supremacy of God in all things for the joy of all peoples….” It’s not enough for our students to gain much knowledge about the Bible and about the Lord through their studies here. It’s not enough that they also grow in their faith and become more mature in every sense of that word. No, beyond those core, expected outcomes, we also strongly desire to instill in our graduates an irresistible desire to spread a passion for the supremacy of God to the ends of the earth and among all peoples.

FROM THE PRESIDENT

Our Heart for the Nations

Tim Tomlinson, President, Bethlehem College & Seminary

“Our graduates are now ministering in some of the most difficult and dangerous nations as they heed the call of the Lord to ‘go to the ends of the earth’ with the message of salvation.”

F rom the very beginnings of Bethlehem Col-

lege & Seminary, we have had a heart for

the nations. The earliest versions of our school were

conceived in the midst of the rebirthing of the Beth-

lehem missions movement that began in the 1980s

through the preaching and teaching of John Piper

and Tom Steller—fueled by the Holy Spirit. This em-

phasis on reaching the nations for the sake of Christ

has only increased over the years and is fully inte-

grated into our programs today. Not only does this

passion for the nations come through clearly in our

classes, but it is also modeled by our faculty and staff

who themselves are regularly engaged in cross-cul-

tural ministries around the world.

We require all of our seminary students to par-

ticipate in cross-cultural ministry before they com-

plete their program here, and we expose all of our

students—both seminary and college—to global

cultures and to the great need for the Gospel to be

shared throughout the world. We desire to instill a

heart for the nations in these students and, at the

same time, equip them to be effective ministers of

the Gospel wherever the

Lord calls them to go.

Now, as we draw near to

the completion of our sev-

enth year of operation as a

degree-granting institution,

I am thrilled to say that the

Lord is fulfilling our desires

in remarkable ways. As you

will read in the pages of this

issue of Serious Joy, our grad-

uates are spreading across

the globe in pursuit of the lost and perishing peoples

of the world. Our graduates are now ministering in

some of the most difficult and dangerous nations as

they heed the call of the Lord to “go to the ends of

the earth” with the message of salvation. Southeast

Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, Europe, West

Africa: these are the general locations of a growing

number of our graduates whose hearts for the na-

tions have resulted in their forsaking of life here in

the West for the good of the lost around the world.

Included among them are church planters, theolog-

ical educators, Bible translators, and those engaged

with caring for orphans and widows among the

poorest of the poor.

You are partly to thank for all of this!

You are a partner in this great, global, gos-

pel outreach through your prayers for our

school and our students, and many of you

are partners also through your financial

support. As you may know, we have a rad-

ically different model for financing our

students’ educations here at Bethlehem

College & Seminary. From the beginning,

we have been committed to keeping our

education affordable for our students. Be-

cause of the generous support of partners

like you, our students are able to gradu-

ate without debt and are therefore able to

launch into ministry wherever the Lord

leads them. We accept no financial aid from any

federal or state agency; instead, all of our students

receive a Serious Joy Scholarship that enables them

to graduate without incurring debt while they earn

their degrees.

Be very encouraged, dear friends. Your invest-

ment in this school is paying great, global, gospel

dividends.

BETHLEHEM COLLEGE & SEMINARY2

WOVEN TOGETHER: BY TIM TOMLINSON

Pastor John Piper wrote an article in our church

newsletter titled “Bethlehem: A Seedbed for Mis-

sions.” A year later, God birthed a passion for the un-

reached peoples of the world that continues to this

day. The kindling was made ready for the match to

be struck. The fire began to spread a year later just

before, during, and increasingly after John’s water-

shed sermon, “Missions: The Battle Cry for Chris-

tian Hedonism.” This historic sermon is now chapter

9 in Desiring God: Meditations of a Christian Hedo-

nist. Bethlehem College & Seminary was birthed in

the missions soil of Bethlehem Baptist Church and

continues to be nurtured in this soil so rich with

missions vision, thoughtful structures, and finan-

cial support. Right now, 10 of our graduates and

their families are serving among people groups that

are too sensitive to mention.

The pre-cursor to our college and seminary was

called The Bethlehem Institute for Bible, Theology,

and Missions (TBI). In the early days, Perspectives on

the World Christian Movement was a required course

in the curriculum. This course introduced our stu-

dents to the biblical, historical, cultural, and stra-

tegic perspectives on God’s global purpose to win

worshipers from every tribe and tongue and nation.

Missions continues to pulse through the veins of

Bethlehem College & Seminary. A focus on God’s

missionary purpose is woven through the first two

years of our undergraduate program as students see

it unfold in the intricacies of theology, history, and

literature on the timeline of redemptive history. One

of the concentrations in our Biblical and Theologi-

cal Studies major contains four courses on missions

related themes. At the Seminary level, every student

takes “Missions and the Local Church,” which cov-

ers the best of the Perspectives course and integrates

a church-based ethos into the mix. Every one of our

seminary students is required to do a cross-cultural

ministry internship. Teams have recently returned

from both Myanmar and Ethiopia. In these intern-

ships, our students serve alongside our professors,

pastors, or missionaries.

More laborers need to be sent out. The alarm for

the unreached peoples of the world has sounded

from Bethlehem’s pulpit and classrooms again and

again since 1983. Bethlehem Baptist Church con-

tinues to be a seedbed for missions. God is leading

some students of Bethlehem College & Seminary,

along with many other members already in our nur-

ture program for missionary candidates, to be part

of the answer to the prayer that the Lord of the har-

vest commanded us to pray. Not all will go to the

gospel frontiers, but our hearts’ desire is that some

will and others will send them in a manner worthy

of God as they are salt and light wherever God plants

them into the rapid globalization of our cities, sub-

urbs and small towns.

As you read the vignettes of four of our “un-

named” graduates, realize they are highly gifted

men who would have shone brightly in a wide va-

riety of ministries or in the business world or the

academic world. They could have chosen much “saf-

er” places to raise their families, but, by God’s grace,

when they heard the challenge to not waste their

lives, they sensed God’s leading to go to some of

the most difficult places in the world to advance the

Gospel. As they studied theology on the timeline of

redemptive history—creation, fall, redemption, and

consummation—they became gripped with the fact

that Jesus has purchased people from every tribe

and tongue and nation, and they experienced God’s

call to carry the Word of God and the fragrance of

Christ to an unreached people. Please pray for them,

and pray the Lord of the Harvest to send more of our

graduates to the gospel frontiers.

“There is a level of lostness that is even worse than unreached. It is worse to be both unreached and

unengaged. What does it mean to be unengaged? Unengaged means that there is no gospel wit-

ness currently and none is coming because no one is even targeting them yet. They aren’t even on

the radar of missions agencies. There are no gospel people on the ground and no gospel people

in the pipeline… There are 818 unreached peoples that have never been targeted by any Christian

agency ever.* Of those 818, there are 532 unengaged, unreached people groups with populations of

more than 10,000. They are, perhaps, the neediest of the needy—the most severe level of lostness

imaginable—those that should lay claim to our greatest depth of compassion. They are the most

hidden—out of sight and out of mind. Here is what is heart-breaking to me: Christ is unknown, un-

translated, unheralded, unadored!”

Dr. Jason Meyer, Pastor for Vision & Preaching, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Assoc. Professor of New Testament, October 2015

LET THE NATIONS BE GLAD: MISSIONS

T he work He has done in Mongolia is nothing less than miraculous.

In 1991, when the country opened, there were only four known

believers. Now, Mongolia has more than 30,000 believers and is

recognized as one of the most responsive countries to the Gospel. God has

given my family a glimpse of how quickly and powerfully He can establish

a church in the least-reached areas of the world.

The young Mongolian church now has a need to grow to maturity.

Perseverance and depth for believers as well as the hard work of raising

up the second and third generation of Christians is imperative. There is

danger from internal strife and division, from heresies and cults, from

Buddhism and Shamanism, and from greed and worldly hedonism. While

the dangers of shipwreck are great, so is the potential. Many Mongolians

are fervent about evangelization and missions. This is a great opportunity

as Mongolians have access to areas Western missionaries do not.

God has called my family to Mongolia to train leaders and disciple

believers that we may present them mature in Christ. We are now in

full-time language study with the goal to teach in a Bible college. The

road of cultural adaption and language study is difficult, but God is the

strength of our heart. He is our peace in the chaos that is transition. We

look to him to establish our language ability and ministry, our family, and

the Mongolian Church. He who began a work in us and in Mongolia is

faithful to complete it.

I n 1997, I set out in pursuit of joy. I had read Dr. Piper’s books and had

had my heart enflamed by the idea that God’s glory could be my joy. I

wanted to test that idea outside of my American comfort zone. I wanted to

see if it worked in Muslim Central Asia.

Nearly 20 years later, I’m still in pursuit of that joy. My wife and I have

worked in a civil-war torn Muslim country for 10 years now. We’ve seen

many other expatriates come and go while here. We’ve had a teammate put

in prison, failed to resuscitate a dying co-worker, been part of a fatal car

accident, and lived under the threat of kidnapping and suicide bombers for

a decade. Now, we get asked, “How do you keep going?” My answer today

differs from what it was in 1997, but it’s still part of the joy calculation.

For one, God gave us hope. Three years ago, at the end of my rope,

my wife made an urgent call for prayer. God answered and gave us an

unexplainable hopefulness that his kingdom would break through in our

community.

The second reason is ironically linked to the first. We learned through

suffering and others’ forced departures from our host country that our

calling was not our justification. We are loved. The God of the universe

has embraced us in the boundless love of Christ. That embrace continues

whether or not we live in a hard-to-reach place. Feeling the freedom to

serve or be called back from service has enabled us to continue. We are,

after all, friends of the King, not slaves.

God’s glory as my joy has passed the test but not in the way I expected.

God’s delight has found me again and again — on account of his bold love,

not my bold service.

BETHLEHEM COLLEGE & SEMINARY4

D edicated theological education is a wonderful thing. Part of its

goodness is that it wasn’t designed to last forever but to suck us

in and spew us back out so that our delight in knowing the works of God

becomes the delight of the nations.

In the world in which I live, my seminary experience at Bethlehem

College & Seminary (then TBI) sometimes feels very distant. Personal

time in the Word and preparation take place in the environment of loud

horns, calls to prayer, and the occasional bomb-blast rather than quiet af-

ternoons in a library. In the place of audio-visually equipped classrooms

of well-versed Biblical students, sessions over the Word take place on

padded cushions in small living rooms over tea using simple, inductive

questions to help new believers or seekers mine God’s Word. Experienced

professors are no longer as accessible to me, and I learn on the go, often

through trial and error, about things never touched on in seminary cur-

ricula. For me and others of my Bethlehem colleagues with whom I have

kept in touch, the field has presented another kind of classroom for our

hearts, minds, and strategies to be further shaped into Christ’s image and

for Christ’s mission. There is a positive hermeneutical effect in being clos-

er to the footsteps of the apostles—both geographically and in ministry

aim—that has continued to mold and inform us.

In light of this, I am occasionally tempted—as some—to downplay

the value and relevance of seminary, but, with a little reflection, I can’t.

I reflect on the different person I might have been without those years.

Perhaps foremost, I better learned to spiritually nourish myself (and my

family and team) without depending on props that are no longer available.

The exegetical method, arcing, and whole-Bible theology tooled me up for

spiritual nourishment in spiritually dry places.

In addition, as the Kingdom of Christ marches onward into remaining

strongholds of Satan, our world is becoming more missiologically com-

plex. Practitioners are needed who not only know languages, cultures,

and the techniques of church planting but who are deeply grounded in the

Word of God and default to Scripture over methods for answers. Those

same practitioners can then bring the insights, experiences, delights, and

complexities of life at the fringes of the Kingdom back to the church and

to church-based seminary programs like Bethlehem College & Seminary

in ways that promote ongoing mutual goodness and growth.

The joy of all peoples and an impulse to spread are at the heart of the

Bethlehem College & Seminary experience. I thank God for the program

that helped lay a foundation for my doctrine and the church community

which then rallied to send my family and me to a least-reached people

group. Letting others know of the treasure-trove of blessings in Christ Je-

sus is completing our joy.

I t was a good visit. Nothing stood out to me. We sat in his home and

drank Turkish coffee, just like we do with other Syrian refugees. The

house was sparsely furnished since they lost all of their belongings when

they fled the war. We asked them where they were from and how long they

had been here. We sought to listen and give them opportunity to share

their story.

A couple days later, we came back and delivered basic goods (mattress-

es, blankets, food box, etc.). Mahmoud wasn’t home when we dropped it

off, so he called later to thank us. Then he said, “Can I ask for something?”

“Sure,” I replied. I expected him to ask for a washing machine, refriger-

ator, or something else that we likely wouldn’t have.

Honestly, it caught me off guard. We visited him again with a copy of

the Bible in my bag. I wanted to see if he really wanted it or not. Indeed he

did. After that, we began reading the stories of the prophets from creation

to Christ. When we read about the death of Jesus, we spoke of needing to

be under the blood just like those homes in the days of Moses when God

led his people out of Egypt. Mahmoud replied, “I want to be under the

blood.” When we read John 3, he prayed, “Lord, give me the new birth.”

A few days after praying that, he traveled to America where he and

his family are starting their new lives. We’ve continued to stay in touch,

though it is hard for me to know whether he has experienced new birth

or not.

We have the opportunity here to change the way people view the

church. They learn to expect that Christians will offer help and mercy in

time of need. Now, many families are traveling to the West like Mahmoud.

My heart and prayer for them is that they will find the same mercy from

the church there that they have come to expect here.

DeRouchie’s 7,700 Mile Wide Classroom and Living Space

Dr. Jason DeRouchie, his wife Teresa,

and their children lifted this prayer

when they joined Bethlehem College

& Seminary in 2009.

“We had no idea how far Bethle-

hem College & Seminary would take

us in our quest to know and cherish

the gospel,” DeRouchie reflects. Soon

after beginning his role as a Professor

of Old Testament and Biblical The-

ology, DeRouchie and his family felt

the call of the Lord to pursue inter-

national adoption. Their three eldest

children were ages 11, 9, and 7 when

their son joined them from Ethiopia.

The following year, their twins—an-

other son and daughter—also arrived

home from Ethiopia. While their

adoption journeys were fraught with

complexities and pain, DeRouchie

remembers with thanksgiving the

Bethlehem community who walked

with his family through deep loss and

gain, developing alongside of them a

love for the broken.

Over the years, DeRouchie has in-

creasingly stood in awe of Scripture’s

portrayal of God’s heart to trans-

form and heal the broken, poor, and

outcast. This, he says, is seen climac-

tically in the mission of Christ, who

came “not to be served but to serve”

(Matt. 20:28), “to proclaim good

news to the poor,” and “to set at lib-

erty those who are oppressed” (Luke

4:18). DeRouchie draws his growing

love for the broken from the text of

Deut. 10:16–19, where he identifies

lack of love for God as an idolatry

issue. “We fail to love God rightly

when other masters are controlling

our souls. Loving the Lord means we

will walk in his ways, and he is a God

who shows no prejudice and takes no

bribe; he provides for orphan, widow,

and sojourner.” DeRouchie exhorts

both himself and his students to fol-

low where this God goes and to desire

to be like him. “This God loves the

broken,” DeRouchie concludes.

DeRouchie’s desire to exegete

Scripture’s teaching on charity and

to equip those serving in the hardest

places was in part born out of one of

the first assignments he gave at Beth-

lehem College & Seminary. While

DeRouchie taught an Old Testament

course for alumni from Track II of

The Bethlehem Institute who wished

to complete a full M.Div degree, he

had the unique opportunity to work

with many alumni global partners.

DeRouchie supervised their course

work from a distance while they con-

tinued to serve in their respective

countries.

As one capstone assignment,

DeRouchie had his students write a

paper on a theme moving from Gen-

esis to Revelation that they could

directly apply to their own cultural

setting. One student in a conserva-

tive Muslim context with strict rules

governing cleanliness examined

ritual cleanliness and unclean laws

throughout Scripture. This student

rejoiced to proclaim more clearly the

Jesus who was reversing history as the

unclean became clean at his touch.

DeRouchie and the other students re-

joiced along with him. “While I was

directing these students, God was do-

ing a work in me.”

During the last couple of years,

the DeRouchies have become acute-

ly aware that they are not done with

helping the orphan and widow find

new identity in Christ. “The wind of

God has hit the flame of our souls.

We have seen the kindling of love

within our own hearts turned into a

blaze to help lead Bethlehem in min-

istry in Africa’s horn.”

DeRouchie and his wife are most

interested in a holistic ministry that

would help churches in Ethiopia

train their leaders; care for the father-

less, widow, and stranger; and reach

out to the unreached in their own

lands. Driving their hope is the beau-

tiful vision in Rev. 7:9–17 of a great

multitude of redeemed and cleansed

worshipers from every nation, tribe,

and language gathered around the

throne of the Lamb.

As a part of this growing desire,

DeRouchie has just returned from a

two-week trip to Ethiopia with two

Bethlehem students and two oth-

er pastors where he helped teach 60

church leaders. The team extended

their time expressly to visit some of

the most disadvantaged and to ob-

serve what the Lord is already doing

in this land that he loves. DeRouchie

reflects, “I went praying for a heart to

learn, to serve, and to grow. Care for

the poor must become personal, re-

moved from the abstract. We must

have faces and names and know needs

and pains and joys. Love for God seen

in love for the needy is increasingly

filling my heart, and I celebrate his

work in me and among the nations.”

Over the course of the past 11

years, Dr. DeRouchie clearly feels

that the Lord has been answering his

family’s prayer that they understand

the Gospel and that God would in-

crease in them a love for the nations.

But what he has discovered is that the

two prayers are actually one: an un-

derstanding of the gospel increases

our love for the nations.

We Thank God for YouOn August 26, 2015, I landed in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, with my wife and our five children

to pastor my first church—a church plant/revitalization right in the thick of a city with a regional

population of about 5.1 million. In August of 2010, I was living in a small town in east Texas of

about 15,000 people with three children and nothing but my professional business career ahead

of me, or so I thought. A lot has changed in five years.

Needless to say, God drastically changed the direction of our lives and thus began one of the

most arduous and yet glorious journeys we could have imagined. Today, I look back at my four

years at Bethlehem College & Seminary and marvel at all that the Lord has done. I have not mere-

ly gained an education. I have gained greater sight of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ,

and that is what I am most grateful for.

I now have the privilege of shepherding a small church on the other side of the globe. I grad-

uated in May and was in the field by August. In large part, this was possible because of the gen-

erosity of supporters who have themselves captured a glimpse of the glory of our great King and

have a passion to see that spread. The affordability of the program allowed our family to be able to

launch immediately into ministry without the burden of financial debt. I thank God for this gift,

and I thank God for you.
