I got a brick!

I got a brick!

December 13, 2018

Last week at church, we had a white elephant gift exchange. When my turn came, I chose to take my chances with an unopened gift. Digging through the weighty box, I uncovered an envelope of scratch-off lottery tickets … and a brick. Strategically wheeling and dealing, I also left church that night with an envelope […]

It’s a wonderful day

It’s a wonderful day

November 27, 2018

Giving Tuesday is a beautiful thing. Oh, I know, some think it’s horrid, a day for charities to exploit people’s seasonal feelings of generosity and goodwill. But in reality, it points to a cure that we as believers desperately need. Let me explain. Materialism, or consumerism, has so invaded American culture that it’s finagled its […]

A season for thankfulness

A season for thankfulness

November 19, 2018

Are you thankful for a Bible in your own language? Thank a missionary. Missionaries translated the Bible into more than 99 percent of all the languages that have a Bible today. Even the tiny number translated by scholars and others would never have existed if First Century missionaries had not spread the Word far and […]

A gift for you

A gift for you

November 1, 2018

Are you missing the everyday grace in your life? I’ve been teaching at church about walking in grace, and we keep going back to the very first lesson: Look around and see the signs that God is pouring out his grace and mercy and love on you. Pay attention to God’s everyday grace. Seize it […]

You’re a Bible translator extraordinaire!

You’re a Bible translator extraordinaire!

October 18, 2018

Have you ever helped translate a Bible? That’s a trick question, I suppose. Because I know you have. You have because you’re partners in our ministry. And this month kicked off the Ethnos360 year-end project, Bible translation. I was tasked with developing our year-end campaign, with writing most of the copy for it, and with […]

Go mulch yourself

Go mulch yourself

June 21, 2018

I’m pretty sure that if I used “weed and feed” on my “lawn,” I wouldn’t have a lawn anymore. Our herb garden, however, is an entirely different matter. I thoroughly weeded the area. I dug down and added planting mix. I weeded again. And then I mulched. I weeded once more, and I added more […]

Why did little Maria die?

Why did little Maria die?

June 12, 2018

“It’s pretty cool learning how another culture thinks and acts,” Andrew Ferguson told me. “Until it costs the life of a child.” Maria, like many children in the Tepehuan village where the Fergusons lived, caught a bug that was going around. But unlike others, Maria did not get better. Maria probably would have recovered if […]

Put granny in a bag

Put granny in a bag

May 31, 2018

Wapane wanted to hear God’s Word, but the teaching was too far away. The Moi woman was too old to walk to another village in Asia-Pacific’s rugged Papua Province. Her plight literally became Ginogui’s burden: He put her in a large string bag, slung her over his shoulder, and carried her for hours over narrow, […]

Let’s talk moonshine

Let’s talk moonshine

May 22, 2018

Julie and I have just returned from our annual visit to a great little retreat center in North Georgia that is free for pastors and missionaries. This year our visit was … well, strange, with highs and lows and a few weird things thrown in. Like moonshine. North Georgia has a lot of attractions, like […]

Struggling to capture the essence of Africa

Struggling to capture the essence of Africa

March 3, 2018

Africa is inspiring and overwhelming. I feel inadequate – incompetent, even – to capture the grandeur, the scope, the beauty, the colors of this land. We spent a little time in Dar Es Salaam, on the east coast of Tanzania. We flew to Mbeya, on the southeast of Tanzania, and drove to Keratu, on the […]
