Let’s talk moonshine

Let’s talk moonshine

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 […]

Bound for Africa

Bound for Africa

This weekend I leave for more than three weeks in Africa. And as I said before, I’ll be taking on a different role on this trip: photography and video. I’ve taken photos and captured video of our organization’s work before. For instance, I gathered the story and photos when I went to Thailand a year […]

This time, I’ll be in East Africa to bring back stories of God working through an alliance of missionaries and local churches to begin the long process of making disciples among unreached people groups. Please pray for the details to […]

A story like yours and mine

It’s a story no one’s lining up to hear. But it needs to be told. An authentic story, a story people will identify with, and a story that can inspire people to get involved. And I’m inviting you to partner with me to tell it. It’s a story of years and year of painstaking, anguished […]

Take a gander at what Julie and I got this Christmas season: The opportunity to help more than local 100 needy teenagers have Christmas presents, through our church here, Covenant Community Church. The ability to provide (so far) the equivalent of meals for a week for eleven needy families in Nicaragua, […]

Back safely

Back safely

We arrived back in Florida late Sunday night. There were no new issues with the car. We just got a few more laughs out of the windshield wipers. Trying to get them to stop at the bottom of the windshield reminded me a bit of playing pinball – which I have never been particularly good […]

Stuck …

Stuck …

We were supposed to be on the road already. But each time the mechanic has fixed something on our car, he’s found something else wrong. Something else that means it is not reasonable to try to drive it back to Sanford. Since he’s an NTM mechanic, and he’s doing this for us on his time […]

You call that generous?

You call that generous?

This week Forbes hailed Mark Zuckerberg as one of “the most generous” people in America. I don’t think their standards are anything like God’s. Mr. Zuckerberg, in case you didn’t know, founded Facebook. He and his wife, Priscilla Chan, are worth $9.6 billion, according to Forbes. And in 2012, they gave away nearly $500 million. […]
