HARRY BOER ATTENDED OUR CHURCH (1st CRC, Grand Rapids) IN HIS LATER YEARS






    here is Harry in a photo with my mom's Aunt Franny & Uncle Gene (their wedding). All these years we attended 1st CRC where Harry Boer also attended and my mom & dad never told me that he had been a missionary and very active in the Christian Reformed Church (as well as a critic of the CRC) , nor did they tell me he was a friend of a relative. I also found this article about him by a student named J. Margaret Lyman for Wilbert Shenk (a former Fuller Seminary professor), see http://www.fadingmargins.com/pdfs/schoolPapers/boer.pdf . 
There are many other articles about and by Harry Boer online. One thing that stood out as I browsed is that he believed the Pentecost should be the greater inspiration for mission work and evangelism,
 more so than the Great Commission. 



"No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithfulhe will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it."
 1 Corinthians 10:13 Asnjë tundim ka kapur ju, përveç asaj që është e zakonshme për njeriun. Dhe Perëndia është besnik dhe nuk do të ju lejojnë të joshet përtej asaj që ju mund të duroj. Por kur ju jeni tunduar, ai gjithashtu do të sigurojënjë rrugë jashtë në mënyrë që ju mund të qëndrojnë derinë bazë të saj. 1 Korintasve 10:13 No temptation man ümumi nə istisna olmaqla sizi ələverdi. Allah sadiqdir, o sizə daşıyırlar ötesindealdanmaq imkan verməyəcəyik. Siz altında durmaq bilər ki, Lakin tempted zaman o, bir yol təmin edəcək. 1 Korinflilərə 10:13 Tentazioa No konfiskatu du zer da gizon izan ezik. EtaJainkoa leiala da, ez du utzi behar duzu, zer jasandezakezu haratago tentazioa. Baina tentazioazaudenean ere du eskaintzeko modu bat da, beraz,Zutik dezakezu azpian. 1 Corinthians 10:13
