Missionaries in Asia

You'll notice a whole new page here, focused on missionary blogs in Asia. As you probably know, my plan is to eventually break everything down into broader categories like this. Before this the only continent to be completed was Africa.

Bloggers in these categories are not being demoted by losing their country link on the side bar. In fact, as far as search engines are concerned, they'll probably have an advantage. But it may be a while before other continents are complete. With so much to chose from, I start with the places that are most in demand – and most people are looking for missionaries by country. The countries that have been done so far are the most popular.

What countries are the most popular in Asia? I'd have to say Japan is by far the winner. Thailand is actually the most popular on this site. Then would come China, Cambodia, and the Philippines.

Our most veteran blogger in Asia is Finding God in China, and our newest (that seems to be currently blogging) is Sandy's Neipu Notebook (Taiwan).

A Year of New Blogs

I thought it would be fitting to end the year with a little tour of some of the new blogs from the last year. So, you’ll see here a list of 12 blogs from the last 12 months (starting December 2005). This isn’t a “best of” list – there were just too many good blogs, and it would be too hard to choose! So here are just a few of the excellent new blogs that exploded onto the scene…

December: The Heart of the Matter (Ukraine)
January: All My Ish (France)
February: Unleashed, Unabashed, and Unafraid (Spain)
March: The M Blog (Ecuador)
April: Hannatu’s Happenings (Niger)
May: Where in the world are the wilsons? (Papua New Guinea)
June: mr. t………. on mission (South Asia)
July: Surrender don’t come natural to me (Bolivia)
August: Missions Beyond Borders (Thailand)
September: Martin and Hazel’s Blog (Argentina)
October: Chernigov (Ukraine)
November: Life by the Word (Mexico)

On the lighter side…

And now, a few from the lighter side. First, some cultural education…

La-La-La-Lengua – if you’re going to eat tongue, you might as well dwell on the fact
Western versus Asian Toilet – someone with experience tells us which one is better

And how about just plain cuuuuuute:

No…this is not our new daughter! (unless there’s some real monkey-business going on)
Isn’t he cute – yup

And a few other bits and bites:

Sometimes Theology’s Like This – uh oh, this one actually makes a point!
And I sometimes find French pronunciation hard! – say this 5 times fast (an hour or two of tongue twisting agony)
I’m Afraid… – oh, I feel your pain!
