MISSIONS FEST SEATTLE 2013
A Message From The Chairman
Pastor Jan Hettinga
Chairman, Missions Fest Seattle
Dear Partners in Mission,
This year’s theme is
the result of several
meetings with pastors
in the Northwest. We
listened intently and
heard the Spirit of God
speaking of the need
for a new era of unity.
Everyone we talked to
seemed hungry for combining forces for
the purposes of mission.
Tragically, though we are more
connected by communication technology
than ever before in the history of the
church, we are further apart in our
willingness to work together. In years
past, the local church was the primary
sending, financing and praying force in
world missions. In just 35 years that has
changed significantly. Entrepreneurial
initiative within the kingdom of
God has become the norm. Tens of
thousands of new ministry non-profits
have proliferated. The churches no
longer have the “gate-keeper” role in
the expenditure of mission’s dollars.
Everyone has direct access to the
Christian donor community through the
internet.
The result is a high level of competition
for funding that pushes us apart when
we should be pulling together. This year’s
MissionFest is focused on the compelling
need for all of us who care about the
Harvest to work together. The New
Testament calls us the Body of Christ,
made up of a huge variety of members.
According to the Holy Spirit’s plan each
member exists to serve the others in
harmony. Oneness is God’s idea of how
best to finish the dream of Jesus and
disciple every nation.
The free market system may be the
working platform for capitalism but it’s
not the Biblical design for the church.
Democracy and rugged individualism
may be the basis of our American
Republic, but independent initiative is
not the healthiest way to accomplish our
Savior’s mission. Without a doubt, we
are better together… better when we
lock arms for efficiency and effectiveness
because the time is short and the needs
of the world still vast.
Let’s resist the urge to “do our own thing”
for Jesus, no matter how well intended.
Instead let’s do His world-embracing
mission together. Imagine the power of
churches combining energy with other
churches and para-church agencies in a
renewed surge of holy partnership. It’s
not only possible, it is necessary!
Thank you for joining us this year. It is our
fervent prayer that you will be enriched
and empowered in your personal mission
as we work together for the Glory of our
Loving Lord.
That the world may know,
Jan Hettinga
Chairman, Missions Fest Seattle

Attention youth leaders – you may want to encourage the youth to come prepared to
participate in the Christmas Shoebox project for MFS this year! For questions and to
volunteer, contact [email protected].
Shoebox Mission Project
Don’t you love the sparkle in a child’s eyes on Christmas? But
many children never experience Christmas – they don’t even
know about the Christ of Christmas.
If you would love to give a child a once in a lifetime Christmas
sparkle experience, you’ll love our mission project for this
year – it’s Operation Christmas Child – shoeboxes for
children who otherwise wouldn’t get a gift. These shoeboxes
go all over the world. Just take a shoebox (or buy a plastic shoe box), put some hygiene
items in (toothbrush & paste, soap, etc.), some school items (pens, etc.) and a toy. Pick the
gender and age child you wish to bless and mark it clearly on top. (ages 2-4, 5-9, 10-14).
Wrap the box top separately so it can be easily removed.
Note: no glass, no war toys, no liquids. Please use only new items. Include $7 with each box
to help cover shipping and a Bible picture book each child is given in their language.
This is an outreach sponsored by Samaritan’s Purse, and checks can be made out to them.
Bring your completed box with you to Missions Fest Seattle, and we’ll deliver it to the
nearest pick-up terminal. Email us at [email protected] with questions.

Keynote speaker
Josh Mcdowell
Evangelist and Apologist (International Speaker,
Author and Humanitarian)
A trailblazer for truth and relationships, Josh McDowell has
been at the forefront of cultural trends and ground-breaking
ministry for five decades.
Early in life, Josh considered himself an agnostic, believing
that Christianity was worthless. While being challenged to
intellectually examine the claims of Christianity, Josh discovered
compelling and overwhelming evidence for the reliability of
the Christian faith. After believing in Jesus Christ, Josh’s life
changed dramatically as he experienced the power of God’s love.
His plans for pursuing law changed to an education in theology.
Fuller Seminary was his next stop.
During his world speaking tours, Josh realized that where young people were
sick, homeless, and hungry, words alone were insufficient. He organized aid
programs to back up his Christian testimony. He’s the only non-Russian to
receive the Russian Academy of Medicine’s honorary degree and the only
foreign member of the prestigious Russian Club of Scientists.
Josh shares the essentials of the Christian faith in everyday language so that
youth, families, churches, leaders and individuals of all ages are prepared
for the life of faith and the work of the ministry. This included leveraging
resources based on years of experiences, new technologies and strategic
partnerships.
Since 1961, Josh has delivered more than 24,000 talks to over ten million
young people and their families in 125 countries. He is the author or co-author
of 127 books, including More Than A Carpenter and New Evidence That Demands
a Verdict, recognized by World Magazine as one of the twentieth century’s top
40 books. Josh’s books are available in 88 different languages.
Josh and Dottie are quick to acknowledge that after their love for the Lord,
family is their greatest joy and top priority. They have been married for over
40 years, have four wonderful children and eight beloved grandchildren.
Josh McDowell Ministry is a division of Cru, (formerly Campus Crusade for
Christ).

Keynote speaker
Linda Smith
Shared Hope International,
President and Founder
Linda is a leader in the global movement to end sex trafficking
of women and children around the world and the US. In 1998,
while a member of U.S. Congress (1994-98), Linda traveled
to Falkland Road, Mumbai, India—one of the worst brothel
districts in the world. The hopeless faces of desperate women
and children forced into prostitution compelled Linda to
established SHI to support, shelter and service sex trafficking
survivors using a comprehensive model for restoration. By
partnering with local organizations, SHI provides restorative
care, shelter, education and job skills training through the
Women’s Investment Network (WIN) at Homes and Villages of
Hope where women and children live. SHI provides leadership
in education, training, prevention strategies, research, and policy initiatives.
Linda founded the War Against Trafficking Alliance (WATA) in 2001,
coordinating regional and international efforts necessary to combat sex
trafficking. In 2003, WATA co-sponsored the World Summit with the U.S.
Department of State, uniting leaders from 114 nations that demonstrated
sustained commitment to protect the vulnerable from the sex trade. Six
international summits followed, leading governments in under-achieving
nations to pass human trafficking laws and plan for enforcement.
In 2009, Linda presented the findings to Congress. In 2011, she
commissioned a landmark initiative to assess every state’s laws as they
relate to or impact domestic minor sex trafficking (Protected Innocence
Initiative). She also designed an integrated training and awareness model,
Do You Know Lacy?
Besides appearing on CNN, MSNBC, USA Today, Dan Rather Reports,
ABC News, the Dr. Phil show, O’Reilly Factor, and CBN, she has authored
numerous articles and received many awards.
Linda’s political career began as a Washington State House Representative,
then a State Senator and ended as an elected “write-in” Member of the US
Congress. Linda and her husband, Vern, reside in Vancouver, Washington
and are proud parents of two and grandparents of six.

Better Together
by Missions Fest Seattle Conference Chair Pastor Jan Hettinga
The global mission of Jesus is always about finding and joining partners in order to better
accomplish the task: - Churches combining forces with other churches
- Church and para-church teams
- Financial partners who share resources
- Churches, para-church agencies and committed individuals supporting and serving one
another as we do in Missions Fest Seattle
- Alliances of people, churches and agencies who are focused on an unreached people
group or a specific area of need like Justice ministries
- Interest groups that join forces to reach children, teens or college students
There are some things that can be done by individuals or separate churches or agencies. But, most missionary work is best done by groups who are all pulling in the same direction.

Keynote speaker
James Davidson
James Davidson is a pseudonym because his ministry is in a closed
country, and we do not want to expose him to any risk.
When James was eighteen years old, God gave him a passion
to see King Jesus worshipped with white-hot intensity from all
corners of the earth. After two years of study at Boston University,
James took a leave of absence and led a church-planting team to a
war-torn country in the Middle East from 2009-2010 when he was
twenty years old.
His team lived among a broken people, learned the language and
culture, and began sharing their lives and the treasure of Jesus
Christ. In just one year, James’ team saw God work in incredible
ways among the local Muslim people, as disciples were made who began making
other disciples. He met his lovely wife who was on the team, and they have
enjoyed marriage for over two years now.
Now, at twenty-four years old, while James is on his way back to the Middle
East, he currently works in mobilization and loves to speak, teach, and talk about
God’s global purposes. Over the past three years, James, a gifted and dynamic
speaker, has taught thousands in fifteen different states nationwide at various
conferences, church events, and Perspectives on the World Christian Movement
classes. He is most qualified to teach on topics relating to God’s heart for the
world and sharing the Gospel cross-culturally.
James and his wife, Amanda, currently live in Washington and are planning to
return to the Middle East in early 2014 to lead a long-term church-planting team
and start a non-profit organization that will work among an oppressed people.
In his spare time, James enjoys playing volleyball, experiencing other cultures
and writing on various issues relating to the Christian life. James is the author of
The Big Picture, an eight-lesson bible study on God’s global purposes, which was
published in September 2013.

MISSIONARY SPOTLIGHT
Walter Jespersen turned 100 on March 12, 2013. A
celebration was held with a hundred of his closest family
and friends. At one end of the room there was a DVD
which ran for 10 minutes, depicting his early years on the
mission field in China with China Inland Mission (CIM).
In 1951, he and his wife Helen had to leave after the
Communists took over.
They endured many trials, including house arrest. From a
publication: “In the fall of 1950 the first public execution
was held. One member from each family was required to
attend and observe. Both neighbors on either side of the
Walter Jespersen
Jespersens were eventually taken out and shot because
of their involvement in the previous regime. Walter was
so grateful that he had the opportunity to share the Gospel with one of the men.”
Returning to North America, Walter was a leader with the CIM (later called Overseas
Missionary Fellowship or OMF). He also served in various capacities later in life, including
pastoring, counseling, Bible teaching, and continued as a prayer warrior. Helen went “home”
in 1987. Walter has five children, all serving the Lord. Walter went to be with the Lord
July 15, 2013.
Ernie Klassen was born October 18, 1918, #6 of 12 children to pioneer settlers in
Saskatchewan, Canada. When Ernie was 6 years old,
he raised his hand in church, indicating he wanted to be
saved. No one seemed to notice, and life went on. When
he was 16 a close cousin dropped dead of a heart attack.
That was his wake-up call, and he knelt by his bed to
confess his sin and be born again.
Immediately his thought was, “If God saved me and I’m
on my way to Heaven, I need to tell others.” But he was
so shy that if company showed up for dinner, he’d rather
miss the meal and stay in the barn! God was at work,
however, and he handed out his first tract – and ran for
fear the person would ask him a question!
Ernie Klassen
He was baptized in a creek, while his teenaged friends looked on and mocked. He attended a
small Bible School and then pastored until WW II. After military service and college, he taught
at the New Brunswick Bible Institute.
In 1955 the family sailed to Germany to help start a Bible School. In 1959, they started a
second school, which has grown to become the largest in Europe. Many graduates go into
the mission field. Ernie never knew retirement – he’s been active since leaving Germany,
witnessing whenever/wherever he has a chance. He’s on his way to Heaven, and he wants to
take along as many as possible.

MISSIONARY SPOTLIGHT
Joe & Betty McLennan
Joe and Betty McLennan began their married life
in 1958 committing themselves to serving the Lord in
foreign missions. They served as missionaries to Brazil
for nearly 20 years with Mission Aviation Fellowship
(MAF). Joe served as pilot/mechanic and minister of
the Gospel of Christ witnessing of his faith to those who
came in contact with him. Betty served as support for
Joe and their daughters while providing hospitality to
fellow missionaries, pastors, teachers, medical personnel
and other travelers passing through the MAF bases
where they lived. She gave strong testimony of constant
reliance on God to meet the challenges of daily living in a
foreign land.
The McLennan family returned to the U.S. in 1976, and settled in the Everett, WA area where
they could assist Betty’s aging parents and care for the education of their four daughters. At
Alderwood Community Church Joe served as Elder and Missions Pastor, and serves currently
as Adult Sunday School teacher. Betty served as Church Secretary and choir member, and
currently is the coordinator for a women’s cancer support group. They enthusiastically and
humbly meet the challenges of serving, always trusting God for the outcome.
Over fifty-five years later, they still live by the hymn writer’s phrase: “Give of Your Best to the
Master.”
They continue in their faithfulness to serving our Lord, each other and others! In 2005, Joe
agreed to Chair Missions Fest Seattle in its start-up days, and each year since was asked to
maintain that position...we let him finally retire after last year’s missions conference.
Doug and Margaret Nichols have served in
missions for over 43 years, of which 20 years were in the
Philippines. They presently reside in Seattle, where
Doug serves as ACTION Founder and Global Missions
Advocate/Mobilizer as an advocate for needy pastors,
the poor, children in crisis (100 million street
children, and 159 million orphans worldwide).
Doug travels extensively worldwide speaking on behalf
of the gospel and the glory of God in missions. Margaret
travels in ministry with Doug when possible and is
involved in speaking, teaching and disciplining. Margaret
and Doug have two children, Robby and Julie, and
four grandchildren, David Joseph (DJ), Gabriele (Ellie),
Douglas (Dougie) and Patrick (Patch).
Doug & Margaret Nichols
Today, ACTION serves in 26 countries with 267 missionaries.

BETTER TOGETHER FOR HIS GLORY
Missions Fest Seattle is sponsored
by local Northwest congregations.
They are trusting that people
attending this conference will
be energized and inspired to
better understand Christ’s Great
Commission to His church.
Their hope is that you will take
back to your home church ideas
and examples that you have
learned and are able to apply
both locally and globally. If your
home church is not presently one
of the Sponsoring Churches of
Missions Fest, we encourage your
congregation to become involved
in this exciting effort. For more

acknowledgements
This is our eighth area-wide missions conference, for which
we praise God.
We are so very appreciative for the warm reception which
Eastside Foursquare Church has extended to Missions Fest
Seattle. This is a major undertaking. A special thanks goes
to Pastor Brandon Brazee who has been the liaison between
Eastside Foursquare Church and Missions Fest Seattle.
Likewise, our thanks go to Northshore Baptist Church
for opening up their facilities, both for our all-day Friday
Pastor/Lay Leader Partnering Workshop and for hosting
our Youth Program. MFS’s inaugural fall conference
was held at Northshore in 2006, which gave us a great
foundation for these succeeding years.
To Lead Pastor D.J. Vick and Global Outreach Pastor Brazee,
(at Eastside Foursquare Church), Pastor of Global Missions
Hilario Pardo and Senior Pastor Jonathan Alexander, (at
Northshore Baptist Church), we say “thank you” for being a
great witness both locally and globally. We honor you and
your ministries.
Missions Fest Seattle has been a success due to many
contributing factors. To our sponsoring congregations, all
who attend this no-cost gathering are most grateful. To
those organizations hosting exhibit booths and sponsoring
ads in this magazine, much thanks. We also deeply
appreciate our Keynote Speakers and Seminar leaders, as
well as our conference volunteers.
There is an organizing Missions Fest Seattle (MFS)
Leadership Team and an Executive Committee which meets
monthly to plan and organize this outreach. They make up
the sub-committees listed below. Thanks to each and every
one for all your prayers, time and efforts.
