Children playing in Nepal

The incredible posts never stop . . . I wish I had time to highlight them all!  First, here are some comments regarding current news events that you might be interested in – the strike in Nepal, for example.  And from Taiwan, some comments about "Chinglish" and China’s World Expo.

On the culture, a common issue in Latin America as seen by one blogger in Columbia.

And finally, on the topic of change.  Missionaries experience constant change, in their lives and in the lives of others.  Sometimes good, sometimes challenging.

First, moving from one country to another and discovering Stowaways!

Next, a time of change as these missionaries also move, for different reasons.  This is one of those especially challenging changes.  Don’t miss Committed to the Cause(s).

Lastly, in Swaziland Jesus Transforms an Abusive Teenager!

Pray for missionaries?

Do you like to browse missionary blogs just so that you can take time to pray?  Let me save you some time – here are some missionaries who are asking for prayer for various things.  Let’s take a quick tour and pray for these things – maybe there’s even a way you can be a part of the answer!

  • From HondurasJust a note for prayer. The well drilling is not going well…
  • There are a few prayer requests here, but just listen to what’s happening in Nepal!  Now, under a new government, Nepal is opening up for Christian radio via local stations (more accessible and convenient than shortwave)…
  • Moving to Guinea!  But there’s so much to do before then.  Thanks very much for your prayers, continue to pray for us as we go through all these preparations.  We can’t wait to be done with them.  They seem never ending!
  • Terrible tragedy in Bangladesh.  Five of our projects seriously affected due to cyclone Aila.  We are providing dry food, Water purifying tablets, and ORS….  There’s a family to pray for here.
  • Helping AIDS orphans in UkraineGod has a marvelous [sic] way of pulling together just the right people at just the right time…
  • A missionary that won’t be returning to Nigeria.  I was able to surrender last week and every minute since… I am in the midst of intense grieving… a death has happened… and yet, He promises strength and peace, which I receive and praise Him for…  Please pray for Erin.
  • This from GreecePlease continue to pray for our ministry, our refugee friends, and the Greek government.  Why?  Read (and watch the video) Misery Meets Greece’s Migrants
  • Does God really care about copy machines?  Of course!  I ask that you pray that God will make His plan clear for us. (And yes, really, I DO think God cares about our copy machine issues.) (Ukraine)

A whole variety of posts here, but a focus on the remarkable, sometimes quiet, sometimes explosive, things that God is doing in busy streets and out-of-the-way corners around the world.  In unexpected ways, He keeps building His Church…
