• Death of a Seed

  

  I remember his smile best. Tai had this quiet humility about him…it was his smile that said, “God changed me, Jesus is my everything and I want the world to know it.” Tai was part of a team of local leaders I had been coaching for years. He wasn’t always a faithful church planter but…

• The Death Of John Allen Chau: Rough Rider Or Reject?

When I first heard about an American missionary dying on a remote island at the hands of the tribe he was trying to reach, I was immediately confused and critical. I thought this was another classic…

• 14 Crucial Characteristics of Church Movement Leaders: Working Among Unreached Peoples

• Why Easter is Meaningless (For the Unreached)

• Starting with the End in Mind: 4 Ways to Clarify Your Vision

  

  In 2017 we’ll be celebrating 10 years of serving overseas as cross cultural Kingdom workers…that’s insane! When people hear that they often ask how much longer do we plan to stay overseas. The short answer is, “When the work is done.” There is this misconception that missionaries leave for the jungles and return decades later…
