Welcome to friends, old and new! These past years have been an adventure shared with many of you. The older I get, the more importance I place on inspiring and equipping a new generation of missionaries. So, for starters, here we go.
Here's how it's going to work: Every day I'll post one a journal entry from a past mission, and continue in order daily, until the account has concluded.
Today, because this is the "going public" day for these lost entries, I will post 2 Journal Entries from 2004.
Looking through this treasure, lost for so long, I have a lump in my throat. reminded in detail what it was like to go years without hearing English. reminded in detail what it was like losing a teammate on the field. making the dreaded phone call to the parents. arrangements. reminded of forced briberies, guns in our faces, countless narrow escapes, seeming defeats and unsung victories. Wading through swamps, floating on uncharted rivers, near misses and emergency landings. Preaching in villages, praying for lepers, strengthening feeble hands... many won't understand, but I think you're gonna like this blog.
