Hello, family, friends, and fellow workers. I wanted to write and give you an update on what has been occupying my time of late and what is on the horizon. In part, this is to inform you (esp. those whom might be directly affected by some of these upcoming projects – i.e. home office staff). […]

#HymnAlong Mondays
Jesus As Lord Online If you’ve spent any amount of time on social media, you will know that the experience could be likened to walking the streets of {insert densely populated Asian city here}. There is a sense of chaos among the intricately structured web. Personal bloggers and small organizations find difficulty even in connecting with those […]
Fellow Workers
Since joining the Prayer League, I have understood the term ‘fellow worker’ to mean, in a sense, ‘one who is working alongside us’. It is a term we use primarily to denote a missionary (in part, for security purposes). He is my fellow worker. She is our fellow worker. This morning, as I read Oswald Chambers, […]
