  • Steps of Justice

    Kristen and I are making friends with Phil and Amy Cunningham of Youth with a Mission. Lars Rood kept telling me, “You need to meet Phil and Amy, you’ll love them.” Lars even took the first step and set up a dinner where we could all get together. He was right. It’s not hard making…

  • $95 per day

    For the last couple of days I’ve been captivated by the stories flowing from my friends on a trip to Port-au-Prince. A group of church leaders is there to launch a partnership program which will pair an American church with a Haitian church. (Follow the team | Give to the program) This all sprung out…

  • Mexico + Fear = Stupid

    As I mentioned last week, I spent Friday in Mexico with Phil Cunningham of YWAM.

As I wrote about on the YS blog, “Jesus is the one feeding the people in Haiti.” As I documented over and over again, I was…

  • A new kind of missions trip

    I’ve been on a lot of missions trips. But never one that was three dimensional before. The three dimensions of the Haiti trip: Going and experiencing for myself. Using Twitter and Facebook to tell stories live, sharing pictures and videos with thousands around the world. Watching the experience change my friends while they participate in…

  • St. Patrick’s Day Prayer for Missionaries

    Each year I’m shocked that few Christians latch onto Saint Patrick‘s Day as a holiday to celebrate international missions. I think it comes from few people knowing Patrick’s story. They have heard the lore that he scared the snakes out of Ireland but forget the facts. Patrick (of Wales) was trafficked as a boy to…

  • The gospel in Vietnam

    Awesome video here. Sometimes the impossible happens.
