Lots going on out there in the missionary blogosphere – I’m especially noticing an increase in the use of video!  So here are some posts with video first, then we have a few more…

And for some other interesting posts, many including some great photos:

Football/Soccer on the Field (video)

by Jim on 13 October 2009

in Special themes

Spectacularly popular, it’s no surprise that people are blogging about it all over the world!  I’m talking about Football (or Soccer, as it’s commonly called in places like New Zealand, South Africa, Canada and the USA).  Check out this video about a recent soccer school in Burkina Faso…


Sounds like a good sport for MKs to learn, right?  Or maybe just showing a little interest in kids playing fútbal could go a long way.

It’s great to go and watch a game together, like this one between Ecuador and Uruguay.  If you can’t go to the game, you can always watch it on TV – you’d be surprised what a community event it can be!

Here’s someone else using sports to reach out – maybe you can help.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup is coming up!  There will no doubt be more and more football buzzzz in the weeks ahead – stay tuned!

Comment (elsewhere) – Missionary blog tip #12

12 July 2008

Being a blogger means being part of a larger community. You’ve put yourself out there on the net, and you’re (ideally) attracting people that are interested in what you’re doing.  You love to get comments on your blog (you do have comments turned on, right?  And you’re responding?)  But what about commenting on other people’s [...]

Missionary blog tip: Why Blog?

16 January 2008

Dr Mike of Kids’ Doc in Jos recently (ok, this past September) created a presentation about blogging for missionaries entitled “Why Blog?”.  He graciously agreed to share it with us.  Unfortunately, my computer skills are limited and I couldn’t figure out how to include it here.  But – probably all the better to see it [...]

Radio ministry and more

8 December 2007

Of course, every one of our bloggers is involved in media ministry, through the internet!  Many are also involved in using other types of media in ministry – radio, TV, internet, films, and more.
Today we’re going to look at some of those people whose lives are focused a little more closely around radio and related [...]

Dancing and preparing for weddings in Tanzania – On Their Mama’s Backs
Learning about culture in Kenya

Mexico Movies has notified us that there’s an important event coming up next week – Video Blogging Week 2006!  I thought this would be a good time to highlight some past missionary video blogs, partly just to show you that it can be done and that’s it’s being done more and more often!  Why not [...]

¡Viva Mexico!

19 September 2005

I’ve been looking forward to this one!  Recently Mexico celebrated its Independence Day (16 September).  The Poulettes have been documenting the affair in their all-movie blog, aptly named Mexico Movies.
Dennis and Jannell aren’t the only missionaries to do “vlogging” (Video Blogging), so be sure to keep your eyes open for more.  They started their vlog [...]
