Missionary Blog Watch keeps an eye on Christian missionary blogs to introduce you to interesting posts, new bloggers and developments on Missionary-Blogs.com.
I’m working my way through the blog lists and cleaning them up. Currently, I’m looking at the veteran bloggers – and I’ve come across some interesting posts.
First, be sure to check out these bloggers who are leaving the field (though not leaving ministry). There’s a lot of great stuff on their blogs, so head on over to:
So, I’ve been travelling all around Africa! Well, not in real life – but via the blogs of our many missionary bloggers in Africa. So I thought I’d stop and share with you some of the posts I found!
Do we take for granted the simple things – like electricity? In Senegal, getting basic steady electricity can be a challenge, as we read in Power Cuts.
And not to complain – but what about the ability to get good milk? Well, some of us could live without it, but some of us couldn’t. Here’s what a family in Madagascar has been dealing with – bad milk!
On a more positive note, let’s head over to Sudan for something that is badly needed – good, solid training for leaders! Take a look at Church Leadership Training (details)
It’s 435 years old! What is? Why, Luanda of course! It’s the capitol of Angola.
And this is totally unrelated to anything, but I was very excited to find this extraordinarily practical blog for those who aren’t eating gluten – and are living where perhaps it’s not so easy (not that it’s easy anywhere!). So, from Senegal, check out Living GF in Dakar.
And just one more – a video (below) from Mozambique, thanks to the Da Silva Family blog.
Well, the prizes are mostly on the way to the winners (some are still being packaged up, and I’m still waiting for an address or two). But I just wanted to end with some thoughts about the whole thing. I already commented on how many countries were represented – that’s great! Those who entered represented [...]
You never know what’s going to happen! Much to my surprise, the winner of the 1st Prize is a missionary that only had one entry! All winners were chosen using random.org out of the valid entries here. So, without further ado, here are the winners! 1st Prize: Congratulations to Jesse Shanks, winner of the Kindle [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Photo courtesy of light_arted It’s time to congratulate those who have completed 5 years of blogging! 5 years is still a good old age for a blog – in fact, these blogs are still older than this site (which started in 2005). I’ve done this in the past, but I’m not sure if I’ll do [...]
Drinking coffee in SudanPhoto courtesy of joodmc Food, drink, Christmas outreaches, flashlights… quite a variety today from our bloggers. I don’t know what it is, but the posts seem to be getting more and more interesting – check out this eclectic set from recent days… Zillions of Cookies in Russia: Don’t you love this kind [...]
