A person’s worldview depends on how he or she views and interprets life and life’s experiences.  What is good and what is bad, how to cope, how to react to what life throws at you, in short,the know how to live life, comes directly from a person’s world view. The further a civilization gets from […]

In the rain forrest the flood waters continue to recede.  Every day a little more land appears on the forrest floor.  And October is the month of the butterfly!  For days on end small yellow butterflies fly in an unending stream up the big rivers.  Right in the middle between the now exposed banks they […]

Recently while reading a book on discipleship I understood why the study of discipleship had left me with a less than hopeful outlook when I was first introduced to the concept years ago.  I truly wanted to be a disciple of Christ but thinking about it left me with a feeling of almost dread.  The […]

In the beginning years the missionaries who had located in Tribal villages along the banks of the jungle rivers lived by trading items the villagers needed for native food supplies.  These food items were supplemented  by supplies from town about five times a year.  Getting these supplies to the missionaries was no simple matter.  Depending […]

We should have a tremendous respect for those early missionaries, those who pioneered God’s work among the jungle peoples.  In many cases they were the first to blaze the trail.  No one had gone before them, no one could help them with the huge challenges they faced.  They either sank or swam on their own!

What we needed in our jungle community (see first post, “The Beginning”) was a deeper understanding of who Christ is and and live our community life within the reality of Christ.  We all, so needed a better understanding of what being “In Christ” means and to enter into living life and serving in ministry  with […]

Since time seems to fly I want to speak to the month of September before it goes the way of history for this year.  September is that month when the jungle dweller begins to notice definite signs of a change of seasons.  The dry season winds will have started to blow in late August and […]

In previous posts we caught a glimpse of how the Father views the Son.  The Trinity is God, the eternal family of three distinct Persons in One.  In the Father and Son post we saw clearly the Father’s thoughts about the Son.  We also saw the Father’s purpose through the work of the Son, 1 […]
