While you are sleeping…

While you are sleeping…

April 7, 2024

Church planting efforts continue in many third world countries throughout the world ‘while you are sleeping’ as well as during your awaking hours among people groups located in Central and South America.  There’s not a day goes by that an Ethnos360 missionary team is not teaching the Bible somewhere throughout the world.  Its springtime here […]

The Necessity of Adequate Training for Church Planting

The Necessity of Adequate Training for Church Planting

April 7, 2024

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you read the words, “Isi mplyd ontun dersta ndathi ngiamrea ding.”  Does anything sound familiar?  Is there anything similar to what you may use in conversation?  Or is it totally foreign to you? Sounds in an unfamiliar language can be downright confusing and utterly mind-boggling.  […]

Aviation Fuel Shortage

Aviation Fuel Shortage

April 7, 2024

Last month we put out a plea for prayer on social media about an aviation fuel shortage in Papua New Guinea.  Our planes and helicopters are dependent upon uninterrupted fuel supplies to service missionaries living & ministering in remote locations among unreached people throughout the country.  No fuel means that there will be no flights […]

PRICE CHECK ON REGISTER THREE

PRICE CHECK ON REGISTER THREE

May 11, 2022

PRICE CHECK ON REGISTER THREE “Price check on register three” spoke the plea for help over the store intercom system.  “Oh, just let it go,” said the customer to the clerk, then checked out, and hurriedly left the store.  I chuckled to myself… “Yep, I’ve done that a few times!” Have you ever come away […]

NINE ENGAGING DAYS OF MISSIONS FOCUS

NINE ENGAGING DAYS OF MISSIONS FOCUS

May 11, 2022

Yes, you heard correctly… NINE days of back-to-back mission engagement with a variety of age groups from young to old –all in one church.  It was exhilarating! Missions in worship; missions in Sunday school classes; missions in youth groups; missions with college-age; missions with families; missions with middle-age; missions with seniors; missions with men’s groups; […]

QUESTIONs, QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS…

May 11, 2022

Have you ever been bombarded with questions… I mean hours & hours of questions?   We took several Q&A sessions following some recent meetings which had us answering queries for more than eight combined hours.  When given the opportunity to present a focus on church planting among indigenous peoples, we typically create presentations which provide loads […]

What in the World are we doing… for Heaven’s sake?

What in the World are we doing… for Heaven’s sake?

November 28, 2021

Random thoughts raced through my mind as I stood on the curbside adjacent to the residence at 19 North Square in Boston Massachusetts.  I retraced what I learned as a schoolboy about the events of a cold April night in 1775.  You may know the event as the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere.  I thought […]

Focus on Church Planting

Focus on Church Planting

October 17, 2021

We  don’t sugarcoat or glamorize the hard work associated with establishing a thriving church when we speak to churches or young people about the need for laborers.  You might think that would hurt our efforts in seeking to find those who would serve with us but we want to be clear and up front about […]

Blessed by one man’s obedience

Blessed by one man’s obedience

September 22, 2021

I got me a gimpy leg… doc says it came from hard work early in life.  It got me to thinking about an old man in the Bible named Abraham.  Imagine becoming a father for the first time at 86 years of age (son Ishmael), then again at 100 (son Isaac); I mean ‘dude!’  …But […]

Maximum Impact

Maximum Impact

September 22, 2021

When Joyce and I stepped away from our local church ministry of evangelism & discipleship to pursue training & equipping to serve in missions, we hoped to eventually minister among indigenous tribes in Bolivia, South America.  That door closed and another opened… in Papua New Guinea.  We had no intentions of ever going to Papua […]
