International Students: Removing the Tradition of Geography
My last post addressed the new stats released by the Institute of International Education. The United States has reached a record high in the number of international students now enrolled in its colleges and universities. I consider this a very good situation. It is a wonderful opportunity for the Church to serve the nations. Go [...]

Taking the Shortcut in Missions
Every morning I take my children to school. And every morning we enter into the crazy car pool drop-off line. Crazy? Yes! Efficient? Well, that depends on whether or not you are in a hurry. All the parents enter campus and snake their way around the school’s property, until they reach the designated drop-off point. [...]
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 [...]
bin Laden, Dominoes, and Praying for Gospel Advancement
As the events continue to unfold regarding the death of Osama bin Laden, may we continue to pray for our world during these days. While I could raise several matters for our consideration–since here at the blog we are thinking missiologically–I wish to draw attention to praying for open doors for the gospel. With the [...]

The Christianization of the Vikings-Part 1
The other day my family and I went to our local Half-Price Books where I found a copy of The Vikings by Else Roesdahl. I have been doing some recent reading on the spread of the gospel to Scandinavia and how the gospel transformed a barbaric people, who eventually sent their own missionaries across the [...]

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 [...]
Thanksgiving and Gospel Advancement
This week in the United States we plan to celebrate Thanksgiving. As always, my family and I plan to remain in Kentucky, making a trip to Appalachia and then to the central part of the state. As always, we are thankful for this time… and for the food… and for family… and for the food. [...]
One Small Step…One Giant Leap…for Kingdom Advancement
I am writing this post at the conclusion of July 20, 2010. It is amazing that I have been able to go throughout my entire day, even watching the news this morning, and not hear of any mention of the fact that on July 20, 1969 man first walked on the moon. As a kid, [...]

Students and Global Evangelization
Lord willing, over the next few days, I will have the privilege to speak to some of the world’s most influential people: campus ministers and college students. On Saturday, I plan to be in Columbus, Ohio and on Monday and Tuesday in Louisville, Kentucky, interacting with such groups. While the locations and audiences will differ, [...]
Bluegrass and Missions: An Untapped Platform of Pickin’ Potential
For those of you who know me, know I am a bluegrass fan. Now, I do not know if such is the case because I am a child of Appalachia, or because I consumed too much of The Beverly Hillbillies at one time in my life. But truth be told: Foggy Mountain Breakdown just rocks! While I [...]
