Our bloggers tackle some huge issues in their posts at times. Naturally, quite often those issues are related to missions. There’s no doubt you’ll wholeheartedly agree or disagree with much of what is said! For example, check out A response to “Should Missionaries Feel Pressure to Produce Converts?”, and from the same author Things Jesus Never Said To Do.
I’m seeing more and more posts from Americans struggling with their own culture and how it relates to missions. Here’s a recent example, Being American and a Missionary at the Same Time. Also, read USA and Missions.
One blogger has been doing a series of posts on dependancy. Dependancy has to do partly with churches in one culture being “dependant” on missionaries, or churches from another culture. For example, if the missionary pays the pastor’s salary or hosts teams to build the church. Here is, I believe, the first post – The Deceitfulness of Dependency. Visit the home page and do a little digging to find several more posts on the topic. Thanks, everyone, for thinking about these issues!

I have been watching this blog for a while and I relise that I haven’t commented! I read, I link and I’ll usually leave a comment there, but not here. So here it is.
Thank you! Thank you for linking us missionaries together. We need a “homemaking as a missionary” link for the wives and mothers who are missionaries and writing . . .but that is just my “wish”, I understand that is really kind of different then what you are doing. Oh well.
Anyway . . . just to let you know. I’m watching you!
