The following is a letter from one of my colleagues here in the Pacific Rim Region:
Greetings in the name of our Lord from the Pacific Rim! It is with a very grateful heart that we write this note to you. For over 6 years each of you has directly impacted our lives and […]

The Strategy Coordinator for the Isaan Team (the team I work with) is now a celebrity, at least in Southern Baptist circles. Mark made the Baptist News and I saw this story on the SBC website. Here is a link:

Here is a song I heard from Thom Wolf:
Lord prepare me
To be a sanctuary
Pure and holy
Tried and true
With thanksgiving
I’ll be a living
Sanctuary for You.

I have some other pictures, but they include people who don’t need to have their faces published all over the internet. I might blot out some faces later, but I think that would look funny.
What do you guys think about this?

My favorite exerpt from a book I have to read before travelling to Richmond in a couple weeks:
Planting “frog” rather than “lizard” churches

Today was awesome! I am so blessed to work at a Christian college! We had a group of IMB and NAMB missionaries visiting campus. They were speaking in the ministry classes and in chapel this morning.
Two of them really interested me. The first one was a NAMB missionary. His job is to share the gospel […]
