Dis-SKYPE-ling

Renée and I both do life and leadership coaching with Navigators around the world. Although we often travel to put our knees under their kitchen tables, we are also often connecting with them over Skype video calls.

Being the Presence

Navigators around the world are called to live and disciple together among the lost where we live, work and play. We want to lead into this by example by being the presence of Jesus on our street.

We Don't

Sometimes people ask how we do all that we do. The truth is that we don’t do as much as they think we do. We get far too much credit!

Devoting Ourselves

I love our International Executive Team. I feel like we are doing Acts 6:4 more than any other team I’ve been in, devoting ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.

Schools of Tyrannus

I love our fierce Middle Eastern fellow workers. Most of us would respond to opposition by hunkering down; however, they are responding like Paul did in Acts 19:9-10.

Our Descendants

Thirty-five years ago, Renee and I thought that God was calling us to live overseas, but God interrupted and told us that it would be our descendants who would go.

Not For Beginners

I tried to squirm out of this trip to Nigeria. I prayed about it a long time. But the Lord made it clear that I’m to go, so I’m going.

My Unbelief

Yet again, the gap in our funding for this year takes my breath away. It shouldn’t. God has fully met our needs every year for our last 35 years of making our living by the Gospel.

Worthy

Our MENA Regional Leaders will be gathering this Thursday to Monday to wrestle with some sticky issues around major missions issues like what “church” and funding are to look like…

Alongside

We all need encouragement all of our lives, especially those in demanding pioneering situations. So, next week we’ll be with our MENA Regional Leaders for equipping a group of new Arab “mobile alongsiders,” for our ministries in the Middle East and North Africa.
