It doesn’t matter. If you’re a missionary from Kenya to Egypt, or a missionary from Japan to Canada, or a missionary from the USA to Ecuador. There are challenges. Things to get used to. Surprises.
Here are some of the experiences missionary bloggers have been through lately. For example, this blogger in Niger laments If I want to feed my family… …I have to go grocery shopping.
Speaking of groceries – spotted in Thailand was the Sausage-Cake Sandwich. Full pictures provided in case you want to check your local grocery store.
And a day of adventure in Senegal – yes, it’s Caca water!
All right, I’m glad that’s over. But… wait! Danger looms ahead! This time, not from roaming the country, but from blogging — as seen in this Disclaimer in Peru. Yes, always remember – the world is reading your blog!
Finally, some peace. A good report on a concluded Bible study – A SWEET ENDING in Bolivia.
Quick fact of the day from Taiwan: Early Christian Influence on Asian Buddhism
And finally, some reminders to pray. First, out of Honduras, challenging times: Praise and thanks for prayer. And an incredible post from Paraguay – Thoughts on a Funeral. Not only will you learn about missions, and Paraguay, you’ll learn about God’s grace.
In the past I’ve posted about posts based on cool pictures – ones that caught my attention.
This time I ignored content altogether – at least to start with – and just looked for titles that caught my attention.
You know, other than "Our May Newsletter". Or "Even more photos of our trip". Or my favourite, "(no title)" (that’s what shows up in my rss feed reader when you don’t bother to put a title).
No, these titles caught my attention – and it turns out that people who write good titles tend to write good posts too!
For example, who could resist a missionary blog post about Tap Dancing (Kenya)? Or how about the tantalizing Catching Creatures on Camera! (Columbia).
New Bible Study and Peter Pan! (Indonesia) brings us even more creatures among other things. Mixing together topics that don’t usually go together makes an interesting title – though it’s not great blogging practice!
Everyone loves to share an opinion, right? So that’s why I clicked on Input Requested (Indonesia).
And of course there’s always the finish-the-sentence posts, like A Garbage Can Full (of what?!) (Rwanda), and Take this hot chocolate and (and what?!) from France.
How about a shocker like Before Wii (Venezuela). There was something before Wii??
All right, I’d better get this post done – here are a few more that caught my eye…
Which is your favourite title?
