A Few From Less-Mentioned Countries…

by Jim on 9 September 2011

in Interesting Posts

We have a nice little word-cloud on the sidebar here that shows which countries are mentioned the most.  This has a lot to do with how many bloggers there are in a country, how well they blog, how often they blog – things like that.

Once in a while I like to feature blogs from countries that are less often mentioned – so here are some posts from countries you haven’t heard from quite as much…

  • Back to Blogging (Albania):  It has been almost 9 months since I wrote on this blog! Yikes…. where did that time go? We have had a very busy several months which would take too long to catch you up on so I am going to settle for the highlights and get back to the story-telling of our ho-hum lives that we find fascinating!
  • Searching for a Good Drink of Water (Angola):  (VOA) A recent study from the Catholic University of Angola shows that well over 50% Angola’s population lacks access to safe water and sanitation. The study was carried out by experts from the Center for Studies and Scientific Research in Angola…
  • Alas… Camp is over! (Canada):  Well, we’ve come to the end of summer camps for 2011 – and a wonderful summer it was. It was a summer fraught with great challenges and great blessings… God is indeed Good! For those of you who have checked in…
  • Before and After! (El Salvador):  This past week we were all at the camp property for a three-day youth conference called Dinamica Jovenil. A professor from the bible institute in Argentina was our guest speaker and the topic was…
  • Things I love about Germany:  Krista has started putting observations about Germany that she has been having as we’ve returned to our small village after being in America for a year on Facebook. Here’s the…
  • Water Day (Ghana):  We are back at Yendi – finally home. We are also back in our Ghanaian rhythm – like the flow of water to our house…

Making Disciples

25 September 2010

For the most part, missionaries want to obey Jesus’ command to make disciples (all right, if they don’t, are they missionaries?).  But how is that done?  What does it mean?  And how can we get outside our own desires and plans and see what Jesus would have us do? Today, let’s look closer at missionary [...]

Thoughts on “Evangelism” in Quebec, Canada

30 January 2009

The Karch family recently moved their blog – check out Movemment Quebec for the brand new format. I’m actually mentioning it because I enjoyed their recent post, Don’t Reduce It To Polemics!.  It’s a great summary of thoughts on sharing, evangelism, "felt needs", etc, particularly in the context of Quebec, Canada.  Here’s how it starts: [...]

Let's head North!

6 September 2008

Today we’re going to take a look at some bloggers living in the countries to the north!  Some fresh, crisp cool air is just what I need… Serving in Canada, the Karch family talks about a typical week and a few typical days.  (Incidentally, there’s no such thing as “typical” for a missionary) We can’t [...]

Congrats to our winner!

28 January 2008

Way back in August, after we posted the wonderful tips from many bloggers regarding missionary care packages, I promised that I would pick a contributer at random to receive a care package courtesy of Missionary-Blogs.com.  Ok, so I’ve been a little slow. But I would finally like to announce the winner!  Coming from Canada and [...]

Quebec, Canada: Seeing but not seeing

30 January 2007

Hidden in the continant of North America are a few large areas with very few believers.  Amazing considering the Christians and resources that are available right there.  One of these areas is Québec, Canada.  Québec is the largest province in Canada, covering 1,542,056 km2, and home to over 7.5 million people, the majority French speaking.

Snow posts are accumulating…

8 December 2006

So what are missionaries talking about these days?  Snow, of course!  Those in colder climates are talking about the snow they have, and those in warmer climates about the snow they wish they had (or the snow they’re glad they don’t have!).  If you’ve been missing the snow, here are a few snowy posts to [...]

Take a stand in Siberia

10 October 2006

It’s been a while since I’ve featured a short term missionary here.  Part of the challenge is that I usually see how good the blog is after the short term trip is half over.  But this one I’ve caught right at the beginning… James Witherow, originally from Saskatchewan, Canada, is now preparing for a tour [...]
