This email covers two matters: 1) I am about to head off overseas on behalf of the CRCA as your ecumenical secretary. On Aug 26th I depart for Wales to attend the meeting of International Conference of Reformed Churches, where as per synodical decision, our application for membership is on the agenda. This meeting is from Wed 28th Aug till Wed Sept 4th. Rather than return home and a few weeks later fly out to Sth Africa for the synod of the HK church, I will take a couple of weeks leave and join my good friend and colleague, Johann le Roux for a 4WD and photographic safari (my own expense of course). When that is completed I will return to Pretoria for the synod of the HK church. This will save money for the CRCA as it will be done on the way home from Wales rather than a separate trip later. The synod of the Hervormde Kerk in Sth Africa is to be held in Pretoria from Mon 23rd September till Friday 27th September. This will be the first scheduled synod after the decision to reject the former position held by that church re their Scriptural justification for Apartheid. In between this and the previous scheduled synod there has been a special synod in 2011 which heard many appeals against that decision, all of which were rejected. In the past 2 years I have been informed some 20 churches have separated from the HK and they are now in the sad situation of being caught up in legal cases as to ownership of property. This will be a tough synod I am sure and I encourage you all to pray for our brothers and sisters as they meet there. * Apparently there is a scam underway with at least one of our churches being approached for funds to assist an alleged member of an international council of churches. Under no circumstances should individual churches enter into such arrangements as these matters if genuine, would come to your CER, not individual churches. Below I have copied some helpful info David Groenenboom has sent to one of our churches as to advice re this matter The email address originates from a generic domain, yahoo.com and not an official wcrc.ch domain * You would know if someone from the WCRC was heading to Sth Gippsland * Jack de Vries is not in New Zealand, nor has he been recently. He is on leave in Canada, returning next week * It is odd that if you are reimbursing Diaz the money should be send to the Philippines - he's probably based in Geneva or in Columbia * It is not normal to travel from Geneva or Columbia to Australia via the Philippines * WCRC would have more than enough funds to reimburse Diaz if he was in trouble. Being an employee of the WCRC, he would probably have enough funds himself... * Even if all this checked out, you would expect representation to be made through our normal ecumenical channels, and not through Sth Gippsland * The CRCA is not and has never been a member of the WCRC * Most of the information about persons involved can be gleaned from looking at a few websites * Never send money in response to an email from someone whom you do not know 2) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I was immediately suspicious; he called back a couple of times, but then gave up. I had a similar one a few years ago, with some guy in the Philippines claiming he was from a particular Reformed church in the US, and he had lost his wallet and travel documents, etc. I actually called the minister of the church he mentioned, and of course, the poor chap had never heard of the scammer. Mine was not the first call he'd had, either.

We have been in operation since 1961 and our current aim is sharing the good news of Christ with our local community. We do this through our mission camp program, school holiday camps for kids. Another part of what we aim to do is to train people in practical ministry. We have many casual staff come through our doors, but more intentional training has been through our internship program. In 2006, I went through this program doing a Cert IV and then Diploma in Christian Ministry and 6 years later, I have had the privilege of being able to employ, work with and train an intern myself in 2013. In 2014 we would love to host 2 interns, 1 of those places is already taken by our current intern (Ben Vanderkolk) staying on for a Diploma year, the other position (Cert IV) is available for application. Please find attached documentation outlining (In a letter to sessions) more information, and also a document that we would love for you to place in your bulletins fortnightly for the next 8 weeks if you could. P.S. This document has been sent to ministers and bulletins. Sorry if you receive this twice, I am just trying to cover all bases! Many thanks.
