Mission work does not always begin in the field. Sometimes it begins in waiting rooms, with paperwork, and during long seasons of uncertainty. At this moment, I am not yet in Japan. I have completed the required training, preparation and fundraising. The calling is clear—but the final step, obtaining a…
“Six times we were called to court, and for 14 years they opposed us, just for being Christians,” Shing said. This week, I sat down with my children to watch the story of Bishop Richard Allen (1760-1831), a former slave, American minister, educator and leader in the abolitionist movement. While…
“Your video is super!” I messaged in response to my friend Mark’s posting a video of himself hiking in the mountains. “I will be posting hikes on my channel,” Mark said. “Do you want to go with me sometime?” “Yes!” I responded. “I like to go hiking.” “Great! I have…

My quiet, shy, bird-like friend Robin has unfortunately had many challenges lately. First, she got into a motorcycle accident, tore her ACL, and was on crutches for months. Then, she discovered that her husband, Ty, owed a large gambling debt. In Sinim, creditors threaten the debtor’s family with violence. Since…
“Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep” (Romans 12:15). Mourning. We have been doing plenty of that recently. It seems like funerals come in batches here. We will go months without any funerals, but then suddenly there will be several in a row. The most recent group…
“And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.” (1 John 5:14-15…
