Countries Less Mentioned – Part 1

Jim — Sat, 23 May 2009 12:52:11 +0000

Now that we have the nice tag cloud down on the left of the screen, we can see which countries get mentioned more often here. This mostly has to do with who blogs more often, and which countries have more bloggers, and so on.

But today we’re going to use that tag cloud to focus on the countries that aren’t there – the countries that are mentioned less here at Missionary Blog Watch. Here’s the first sample…

Power plant in Sofia, Bulgaria

Togo: "First of all, imagine that you take every single thing you own and you put it in a container. Then that container goes on a ship that might sink…" read May Update
Tanzania: "We’re out of water. We’ve been out of water for days…" read Perfect Laid Plans
South Africa: "Highland communions typically lasted over a period of five or more days. Informal fellowships and prayer meetings run by the elders might stretch this out to a week…." How does this Scottish tradition relate to South Africa? Read Easter Communion
Cambodia: "I thought you would like to read my email conversation with my dad where he asks some good questions about the new place we are living…"
Costa Rica: "I had really hoped that I would not feel right at one of the places, but that didn’t happen. Now I’m torn…" read My Heart is Torn
Bulgaria: "Since returning in March, I have been asked about training for teenager/youth over here. Besides the Love Bulgaria event there seems to be a big hunger for information on the training and equipping of students for service to Christ…" read Teenage Work – Once a Youth Pastor …
Columbia: "It’s been a bad time for the students. A week ago it was announced they would loose their free mid-morning coffee…" read No more Colombian coffee

I have one – but I want more. Call me selfish, but I just want to find more blogs from these countries. One simply isn’t enough! Can you help?

Bangladesh: I know of Bangladesh Adventures. A recent post highlights the need for teachers.
Bulgaria: You can check out the Mellingers in Bulgaria, who recently wrote about slippers.
Croatia: America to Zagreb was recently writing about an early Christmas present.
Greece: How about Mike and Maria Long? Their recent news includes a Court Case, Bike Trip, and Surgery
Honduras: Well, we do have The Sims Family in Honduras. Their recent post had the eye-catching title Overdue and I am not even pregnant….
Cote d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast): Actually, the Farho family has a number of blogs on their site. Everything from family to fitness is covered here! Recent posts include Why God allows pain and Youssef’s cancer is dead.
Madagascar: I do have the Slaubaughs in Madagascar. Check out a few of their latest pictures here.

These are all great blogs, but they’re pretty lonely. Does anyone know of more blogs from these countries? Help me out here.
