I’ve been busy and should have had this up a while ago. This is the last video I’ll be posting here from our conference in Thailand. This is Oumar, our tech leader for Francophone Africa. Oumar lives with his family in Mali and is a joy to be around. I think you’ll pick up a [...]
We have a neat job, Ingrid and I. I was reminded of it this week-end as we shared Easter and our wedding anniversary with dear friends of ours that were in town. Due to the fact that we don’t operate alone but rather as part of a large team of ministry partners, we have so [...]
Well, if you get our newsletter, it should be landing in your mailbox today or tomorrow. Monday at the latest I would think. Either way, in it we talk about a friend and co-laborer Miharet. He is a young Ethiopian man with technical talent and a heart for reaching his country, his continent and the [...]

The title of this post has kind of a double meaning for me, as we’ll be hitting the road here soon, for a busy summer that includes a decent amount of travel. But what I’m thinking about specifically are mobile devices – phones. I’ve seen different numbers showing mobile penetration world wide at something like [...]
Our President Steve Douglas has asked us as staff to ask, “How are we doing?” Ministry is interesting because it does not fit nicely into a set of objective criteria. We are about watching God do a supernatural work in the lives of people. At the same time, we are stewards of much that has [...]
I’m in Mexico helping staff to use a new on-line tool that will really help ministry. This morning I helped believers in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia with information and tools on how to share they faith. I did that via email. So amazing. Not only am I involved in global missions but I’m doing it [...]
