Canada

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:

Last week I had a fascinating discussion concerning "evangelism" with a group of pastors.

A few undigested thoughts:

First of all, (and this may be the most controversial) it seems that we need to take care in using the term "evangelism". I prefer something else; like maybe "being a witness".

Why? "Evangelism," at least in my experience with many, many churches, automatically connotes some sort of argument…

What do you think?  Stop by the post and share your thoughts.

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
