Brief Intro

Hello to family and friends.

Why another blog? In the quest to find ways to keep family and friends updated on my world endeavors of ministry, I thought it best to create a blog that I could use to post regular updates on my status. I will be going on an extended short-term missions trip soon and as we know, the occasional prayer letter just is not good enough for many people seeking to pray and follow what is happening. Then email entered the world and updates became more regular, but that takes huge amounts of time out of the mission worker's schedule; creating email lists, writing emails and letters, etc. Instead, it may be better to have a blog site where even short blibs of what is happening can be easily posted and read by all. So that is this blog's purpose.

Shortly I will begin raising support to go on a short term mission's trip / internship to complete my Master's degree I am working on. After that I may continue my international ministry endeavors and it seems this site is a good way to update people on those endeavors. Here is where all will find the most up-to-date updates on these trips, as well as copies of the more general letters. It is my hope this site will help my supporters feel more involved in what is happening, as the more traditional methods of updating supporters tend to be more infrequent.

So within a couple days this blog will be updated with my first support letter. Thanks to all who plan to check this site regularly. I look forward to your comments on how I can improve the usage and feel of this site as well as your support in my ministry endeavors.
