The Power of Blog Connections

by Jim on 25 September 2008

in Blogging and Blog Tips

I just got an email from Jim and Shelley from Livin’ Our Dreams.  They shared with me this great story about relationships and blogs that I want to share with you:

About a year ago an operator of two Christian Radio Stations in western KS contacted us.  He found us on the site and we began communicating.  Every so often we would get an encouraging email or note letting us know he had been praying for us.

One of the people groups we work with are the Kekchi and they have a radio ministry that reaches many unreached villages all over Petén.  They needed some help repairing their equipment which we know nothing about.  They needed a part that we could not find the normal route through google.

We contacted Bill who spoke to his radio engineer who found the part within 24 hours.  A pastor in AR bought the part and it is in route to Guatemala to triple the coverage area of the Gospel in the indigenous tongue to people who don’t have any other chance to hear it.

Thank you so much for this site [Missionary-Blogs.com].  Just one small story of how God has used it to impact people we won’t meet until heaven.

Praise the Lord! Thanks to Shelley and Jim for sharing the story.

Here’s another post about connections made through blogging.

Video!

Let’s talk about missionary blog videos, and check out a few…

Shopping for a cow in Kenya – get the story and video!  And speaking of big animals, take a look at a rodeo in Brazil.

Time for the cute-kid videos – check out “Papa“, fun with kids and technology, Noa and Martha perform, and for a little music try this birthday song for Mom.

The fun of language learning – I Can Barely Speak Spanish.

Try a little golf, and finally a way to travel in Haiti.

You're famous! Now what?

1 August 2008

Many bloggers start out not really realizing that their blogs are publicly available to millions.  Others wonder why the millions aren’t coming to their blog!
What actually tends to happen on a well-made blog is that people interested in what you’re doing, in what you’re talking about, those are the ones that eventually find you.
I often [...]

Comment (elsewhere) – Missionary blog tip #12

12 July 2008

Being a blogger means being part of a larger community. You’ve put yourself out there on the net, and you’re (ideally) attracting people that are interested in what you’re doing.  You love to get comments on your blog (you do have comments turned on, right?  And you’re responding?)  But what about commenting on other people’s [...]

Missionary blog tip: Why Blog?

16 January 2008

Dr Mike of Kids’ Doc in Jos recently (ok, this past September) created a presentation about blogging for missionaries entitled “Why Blog?”.  He graciously agreed to share it with us.  Unfortunately, my computer skills are limited and I couldn’t figure out how to include it here.  But – probably all the better to see it [...]

This blog is now famous.  And not just this one, a few others too!
Missionary Blog Watch was mentioned in the October 2007 edition of EMQ (Evangelical Missions Quarterly).  The article, by A. Scott Moreau (editor of EMQ) and Mike O’Rear (President of Global Mapping International) was entitled “An Introduction to Blogging on the Internet”.
Actually, it [...]

First things

25 September 2007

Just for fun, I wanted to find out how people started their blogs.  These are taken at random.  Of course, some people may have deleted their first posts, or else added a newsletter later on.  But this is what I came up with…
First, the “we’re finally blogging” posts.
Finally:  Here we are just now entering bloggerdom [...]
