• Serving in Canada, the Karch family talks about a typical week and a few typical days.  (Incidentally, there’s no such thing as “typical” for a missionary)
• We can’t leave out those in the Yukon (Canada) – here’s their Mid-summer update
• Let’s move around the pole to Russia.  What is The Voice of Silence?
• How about Siberia, Russia?  I love this little slice of real life that Leif and Jami share.
• More changed lives in Russia at this wedding picnic!
• A good reminder from Kelly (on her new blog!  Looks great!)  This one is in Norway.
• Also in Norway, here’s a great question.
• A lot of people blogging about school starting – here’s one from the UK.
• A great slice of life from the UK – check out this ad for the summer holidays!
• A few goings-on in Ireland in this Miscellaneous Update
• And while we’re on miscellaneous, how about some random too (also from Ireland)?

I happened to come upon another short termer to share with you.  This is an interesting one, because this man is on the same team as another short term blogger we featured back in October.  Do you remember THE REALM OF ALCAR?  Well, the team escaped from Siberia and somehow got into England (ok, I’m being over-dramatic, don’t get too excited).  The next blog I want to point you to is Life in Combine Mode.

No posts on life in England yet, but you can read both these blogs for some interesting perspectives on short term ministry in Russia – and we look forward to hearing about life in the UK too!  These two blogs should make a great combine-ation (Sorry.  Actually, I love the title).

Don’t forget to visit some long term missionaries in Russia and the United Kingdom as well…

It’s been a while since I’ve featured a short term missionary here.  Part of the challenge is that I usually see how good the blog is after the short term trip is half over.  But this one I’ve caught right at the beginning…

James Witherow, originally from Saskatchewan, Canada, is now preparing for a tour which will include North America, Russia, and (I believe) England.  He’s training and doing ministry in Canada with his team, and will be leaving shortly for the overseas portion of his year.  His blog is called THE REALM OF ALCAR, and you can even subscribe to his feed at encaitar777.blogspot.com/atom.xml.

It should be exciting to hear about James and his team as they serve the Lord in Siberia and beyond.  Leave him a comment and let him know you’ve prayed for him!
