Now that we have the nice tag cloud down on the left of the screen, we can see which countries get mentioned more often here.  This mostly has to do with who blogs more often, and which countries have more bloggers, and so on.

But today we’re going to use that tag cloud to focus on the countries that aren’t there – the countries that are mentioned less here at Missionary Blog Watch.  Here’s the first sample…

  • Tanzania:  "We’re out of water. We’ve been out of water for days…"  read Perfect Laid Plans
  • South Africa:  "Highland communions typically lasted over a period of five or more days. Informal fellowships and prayer meetings run by the elders might stretch this out to a week…."  How does this Scottish tradition relate to South Africa?  Read Easter Communion
  • Cambodia:  "I thought you would like to read my email conversation with my dad where he asks some good questions about the new place we are living…"
  • Costa Rica:  "I had really hoped that I would not feel right at one of the places, but that didn’t happen. Now I’m torn…"  read My Heart is Torn
  • Bulgaria:  "Since returning in March, I have been asked about training for teenager/youth over here.  Besides the Love Bulgaria event there seems to be a big hunger for information on the training and equipping of students for service to Christ…"  read Teenage Work – Once a Youth Pastor …
  • Columbia:  "It’s been a bad time for the students. A week ago it was announced they would loose their free mid-morning coffee…"  read No more Colombian coffee

The silent blogs

22 July 2006

There are some blogs that never show up on the main page of Missionary-Blogs.com.  They’re rarely mentioned.  Why?  Because they don’t have a news feed (or don’t have a functioning news feed) (or maybe they have one but they hid it really well).  There are some excellent blogs out there that don’t get read as [...]
