The Fight For The Book (and other interesting posts)

by Jim on 6 August 2010

in Interesting Posts

Just a few interesting posts for you to browse today …

  • Driving home late, in the rain, is not the time when you want to hear Not a Good Sound!  Plus, Mexicans and Bibles.
  • No news is big news – don’t miss the Peace in Kenya!
  • Could it be?  Someone is more interested in these books than you are… who’s going to win in Books, Wonderful Books! (Haiti)
  • It’s always fun hearing about missionaries who are new on the field.  Check out this fact-filled post from Kenya:  in Kamba-land.
  • I really enjoyed this post (probably because I’ve written posts like it) about re-entering the home culture after being away.  The title?  Please Forgive Me In Advance! (Chile)

A Visit to Haiti (in pictures)

by Jim on 20 July 2010

in Interesting Posts

More specifically, this is a visit to the Port-au-Prince area.  This is the capitol city of Haiti with more than a million people.

You remember the earthquake that hit the city in January.  Now, 6 months later, here are some somewhat random photos from missionaries in the area.  Actually, though they are somewhat random (a report on a busy weekend), I thought the collection was rather interesting, and said a lot.

Check it out now at Special Moments and Seeing the Sites!

You can see lots more pictures at The Krul Family blog, but do be warned it’s heavy on the graphics and will take a while to load.
