Tara from The Livesay [Haiti] Weblog was asking me about a Missionary-Blogs.com button.  To promote this website as a whole, of course you’re welcome to link to the main page, or individual posts, or other pages.  But you can also use the button that’s found on the main page.  Just copy the image to your site, then create a link, using code like this:

That will give you a simple button that’s a link (after you change the URL, of course, to the location of the graphic on your server):

This is a great way you can help connect people with other people who share their passions in service to the Lord, or to open people’s eyes about the work going on around the world.  Thanks to all of you who have been a part of getting the word out!

Please stop by and check these out – and also let me know if you see any errors (with all that work I’m sure there were some slips!).

What kinds of blogs will you see there?  Here’s a preview!  From our brand new missionary bloggers…

• Straight from my heart… writes from Ukraine
• Life in the Frying Pan from Niger
• Adventures in the Dominican Republic! – well, you know where that is.

How about the up and coming missionary bloggers?

You want some more experienced missionary bloggers?  No problem…

Finally, it’s time for the veteran missionary bloggers!

• Church Planting in Puerto Rico is right where you would expect!

Enjoy these blogs, and please don’t forget to leave a comment on the blog posts you enjoy!

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.

If you want more exposure for your blog, be sure to be a part of the current Missionary Blog Carnival!
