I am sitting in the airport in Seoul Korea reflecting on all of the last two weeks events… I can not let go of my amazement at the simple and genuine love of the Khamer people…I find that I keep going back to that. Can we love like that? What amazes me is that even… [Read more…]

My heart is so torn…I know my calling is to the American Church, but I love missions in the third world… There is such a hunger for more, such a thirst, and a nearly total lack of pretension… I miss my family so much, and my heart hurts being away from them, but I love… [Read more…]

Yesterday we spent time at the orphanage here in Seim Reap…it was incredible. The kids did a traditional Khami dance for us called the coconut dance…it was beautiful and elegant. Just spending time with them was great, they have grown up so much since I was last here, both spiritually and in every other way.… [Read more…]

I have been off of the radar for several days…we were in the mountain region of Cambodia outside of the city of Pehnom Penh hosting this countries first ever youth camp geared toward Christ and discipleship… There were nearly 230 kids there, and nearly half of them did not know Jesus at all…We had an… [Read more…]

There have been numerous opportunities lately in which I could have argued my position, or stood silently and endured whatever the situation presented. There has not been one that was handled perfectly, but through them all God has given… [Read more…]

Leadership is something that is best learned in the field…there are incredible books out there that have shaped the lens and framework through which I view Leadership, several by Maxwell and Stanley…but none of it took shape and became tangible until I had to apply it. Up to that point they were just words on… [Read more…]

Along with over 1400 churches world wide, we (ZAO Community) participated in One Prayer this week… I think it is absolutely incredible that these have decided to cross denominational lines…historical lines…and preference lines in order to stand together as Christ Church world wide. I believe with all of my heart that One Prayer is the… [Read more…]
