crisis of full surrender to God in 1901 profoundly altered his life.
Some time after the experience, he spoke of it in a letter to a
friend: - 'You ask a question about the baptism of the Holy Spirit -
did I get there all at once or easily? No, I did not. Pride and the
possession of the high esteem of my many Christian friends kept me
out for long enough. But immediately I was willing to sacrifice all
and put myself on the Altar, which is Jesus Himself, all was begun
and done.</span></span></font></span></p>

son Easdale, a close friend and keen observer of Chambers, notes that
Oswald's earlier sermons 'seemed to create a fear of God, in the
sense of terror, in his hearers rather then of confidence and love.'
One request to the principal for a preacher from the college
concluded with a prohibition against Oswald: 'Dinna send us young

I was reading from “One Church Many Tribes” by Richard Twiss,
published by Regal Books, 2000, excerpts from pp. 191-197 - “In
November 1996, in a remote part of the world, the sleepy and
picturesque town of Rotorua, New Zealand, witnessed a turning point
in modern Church history. The inaugural World Christian Gathering of
Indigenous People (WCGIP) signaled the emergence of indigenous people
as a critical factor in God's purposes for nations. I heard and saw
there the advent of a new song of reconciliation for the Church
coming from indigenous people. Centuries of pain resulting from
rejection by their colonial brethren had given birth to a word of
</span></span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><u><span style="">forgiveness</span></u></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
and </span></span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><u><span style="">healing</span></u></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">

I listened to the pain and observed the tears of grief and loss of
indigenous people from generations of pain and rejection, one thing
was evident: </span></span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><u><span style="">There
was a glaring absence of bitterness and resentment</span></u></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">.
Any hearts that still questioned and harbored ill feelings were
softened by deep-seated words of forgiveness, reconciliation and
healing at the heart of what was said.</span></span></span></p>

“Approximately 30 Native North Americans from the United States and
Canada entered the sports center and slowly walked in a clockwise
procession as a traditional-style grand entry, some wearing
traditional regalia. We were accompanied by a David Ruis worship song
entitled “Let the River Flow,” sung in part in the Saulteax
language. In single file we marched and danced around the interior of
the arena until we reached the center aisle in the back. I then
called my blond-haired, blue-eyed wife to my side and, hand in hand,
we led the delegation to the front as we danced a traditional
friendship dance. Many told us later that just the sight of us
dancing in a traditional way, as a cross-cultural couple, was living
proof that reconciliation is possible in Jesus Christ. As we all
stood facing the audience, we could see many were crying and
rejoicing before the Lord.</p>

“A report reached us the next day that five Maori people, including
one who had been in prison, prayed to receive Jesus Christ because
they were so deeply touched by our entrance, our music and our dance.
One Maori brother said he began weeping when we entered and could not
stop for the next hour because of the presence of God and the beauty
of the Lord he saw in us. Later, an Aboriginal man from Australia
shared his joy with us: When he saw us dancing, he had joined us and
danced in the traditional style of his own tribe. He said it was the
first time he had felt the liberty to do so as a Christian. He was
released, blessed and affirmed by the Lord as he danced.</p>

White brother spoke of being acutely aware of the fact that the

more than ever before that this is a story the Church around the
earth needs to hear and see.”</span></span></span></p>

The lack of bitterness at this conference of 2000 people from 32
countries and 100 nations - for past mistreatment - has produced a
spirit of Jesus that is opening doors of Evangelism in a special way
for our First Nations People. I am committed as an Anglo White person
to stand with them until like the 12 tribes of Israel, they like
Benjamin who was nearly lost as a tribe to Israel (last chapters of
the Book of Judges), may take their world place as one of the 12
cultural groups of our earth.</p>
