John Stott and Global Missions
John Stott passed away today in London. According to a post released by Christianity Today , he died “after complications related to old age.” His influence was (and remains) enormous, well beyond detailed description in this blog post. For example, just consider his numerous publications. Since this blog is about global missions, I wish to [...]
To the World Through the Stomach
For sometime I have wondered about the potential of using the culinary passions and skills of Kingdom Citizens to reach into parts of the world where few are able to go. Why? Because I believe the way to the heart of many people is through their stomachs. No, I am not referring to feeding the [...]
On the Road Again…
I recently returned from one of the most relaxing vacations that I have had in a long time. It was a great blessing for which I was very thankful. While relaxing in a condo on the Gulf of Mexico, I was able to enjoy one of my favorite vacation activities: opening the balcony door for [...]
The Past in Review

In light of my plans to experience rest and family and refrain from blogging, I thought I would leave you with a few of my previous posts from the past year-and-a-half.

My socio-anthropological tendencies helped make this attraction worth the $50,000 price tag to visit the Magic Kingdom. “It’s a Small World” satisfied my multicultural desires for the day. While I am not certain that Disney [...]
Innovation in Missions
Last week, my family and I visited Epcot in Orlando. It had been several years since my previous visit. We had a great time on the rides and visiting the World Showcase area in the park. One particular attraction caught my imagination. Spaceship Earth–the ride that is found within the golf-ball-looking structure at the park’s [...]
The Number of Unreached People Groups in the U.S. and Canada: A Call for More and Better Urban Research-Part 5
While the United States and Canada are two of the most researched nations in the world, believe it or not, we lack both the research and data on the numbers of unreached people groups living in these two countries. I am amazed that we have better information about a unreached people group living on the [...]
