Why the switch?

The blog switch is because I'm not very techno savvy and could not figure out what to do with the covblog thing, where the blogspot was easy to set up. I also started a blog experimentally, in preparation for future disasters/trips where I would post a journal online, rather than sending updates, so this is more of a long term blog.
The email switch was because hotmail was annoying me and everyone was raving about gmail and the conversation tracking ability.

Where in the world is THAT house? I am assuming GA somewhere? It looks huge, at least from the outside. And it looks like it has great scenery. We're looking for a house too - hoping to move in the spring...

Myth of the independent church

I have heard quite a bit lately about dependency, and how the worst thing that can happen in missions is creating a dependent church. I wonder where this comes from? Is it Biblical? I see the scriptures about the body of Christ, and understand that to be universal. The foot needs the eye and so on. Is it possible that this applies to the church universal? Maybe the church in poor areas needs the church in wealthier areas to function. Why is this a bad thing?? Especially when you think in terms of missions - the very people going oversees to develop these churches and then telling them they need to be independent are themselves dependent on wealthier churches for their survival!

Back to the blog

Thanks Christina for the inspiration. It has been way too long since I actually wrote on this blog. I am no longer working specifically for the church and now am trying to start an organization. It's called R3I and is geared towards training, supporting, and facilitating involvement in international responses and disasters. We do have a website, www.r3international.org Otherwise Hellen and I are well, blessed in so many ways. She is continuing to excel at Covenant and we are looking forward to what comes next. We spent New Years with some dearly loved friends from days gone bye. A wonderful time.

Twenty-Seven Years Ago... It's hard to believe sometimes how long I have been doing this.  I first traveled internationally when I was just a teenager, new in my faith and wondering what the world was all about.  I have seen quite a lot since then, too much I sometimes think, and have certainly changed.  Underneath it all though I am still the same wild and curious child. My wife has suggested that I begin blogging again, and letting people know a little about my life and experiences in hopes I can help others along the way.  I would be happy to hear from you.
