Come on people…..

Last week I posted about Matt and Tricia and their upcoming movie to Thailand. Like I said in the post, they need to raise about $5,000 for their travel expenses, and they’re leaving really soon.
In the comments, Tricia shared some great news that they scored a ‘buddy pass’, which reduced the cost of the trip [...]

Uzbekistan Photos (Pt. 2)

I posted another round of photos from my time in Uzbekistan (Read the original post here about where these are coming from). As I said before, I will gladly sell these to you in any format for any price, and all profits will go to supporting the Kingdom of Jesus in Central Asia.
See the rest [...]

Got a minute?

’cause if you do, I’d like to share a couple of neat opportunities with you…
When I went overseas, I had about 11 weeks to find enough folks to commit to giving about $1,200 a month for at least a year while I was gone. Once I had been gone for a couple of months, a [...]

I wanna go back…

I would give a lot to be waking up in Samarkand today. I would walk down the street to get break baked just a few minutes ago, and I would come home and eat it for breakfast with sweet milk and tea.
Or I would fast and walk around the city all day and pray against [...]

What do you think?

Brace yourself.

For the first time in a while, I’m making some time to write something somewhat meaningful here.

It’s strange. Although these past couple of weeks have had me busier than ever (lots of driving back and forth between Greensboro and Creedmoor and working really hard to get up to speed at work, plus [...]

Uzbek police have also recently falsely accused a Protestant refugee in Kazakhstan of terrorism charges. Amongst other recent violations of freedom of thought, conscience and [...]

Some quick links

Every time I come across something I want to draw your attention to via this blog, I leave it open in a tab, in hopes that some day I’ll have time to write what I really want to write about it.
…that hasn’t happened in a while though
And now my computer tells me that it must [...]

World Vision Wants Your Help

I got an email from World Vision today. It says that they could really use our prayers and financial support in serving the people devastated by cyclone Nargis and the earthquakes in China.
Here are some excerpts:
Myanmar
World Vision’s 600 local staff members continue to struggle to meet the most urgent needs. Word Vision has already [...]

Perspective From “Voice of the Martyrs”

I have my default webpage on my personal computer set to “Voice of the Martyrs“. I do this for two reasons:
1 – I need to see this page on a regular basis
2 – I probably wouldn’t navigate there very much if it didn’t come up every time I open my web browser.
Why wouldn’t I go [...]

Gas Shortage In Central Asia

When I was in Central Asia, the lack of heating gas was a serious issue. There were weeks were it seemed just about impossible to get warm. And in this article they’re saying that this year is much worse than years past: It’s colder and there’s less gas for heating. And it’s mostly because they [...]
