What are the chances?
What is providence? Providence is the way God is actively and intimately at work at all times and in all ways; he is truly sovereign. He is not the clockmaker who has set things in motion and is now hands-free, to be called upon again only in times of troubling issues. He sees all, knows … Continue reading What are the chances?
Fighting Words: Against Dead Religion
When your faith rests solely on Christ, you will make him known to others. You will not see this as a once in a while event but as the delight of your daily life. A lot of tallies, polls, and percentages of “Christians” in the world today are skewed, and oxymoronic, due to the complete … Continue reading Fighting Words: Against Dead Religion
Dirt Road Missiology
If you have never driven in Africa, and you drop down from the Western world… Say you start off in Kampala and drive north to Arua (where we call home base in the West Nile Region, a roughly 10 hour trip) thinking you are on a state-maintained road, you will likely not make it to … Continue reading Dirt Road Missiology
America—Date Night…Poetry?
America—Date Night…Poetry? Some wild things have gone on the past three weeks that have led me to be driven around by family and friends recently. It’s good to get off the couch and out of the house. My back is tight and cabin fever is real, and I need to move to start working through … Continue reading America—Date Night…Poetry?
Going East. Returning Home.
It’s about that time… Sometimes when we are preparing to head back out after time in the United States, people say, “enjoy your trip!” In some ways, the sentiment is well received; it’s an awkward interaction and people don’t know what to say. At the same time, one of our goals is to disciple supporting … Continue reading Going East. Returning Home.

What is it that Christ has done?
God is perfect and holy. Adam willfully sinned against God and that sin separated man from God. All from Adam’s line have a sin nature which the flesh has no ability to undo. Christ came into the world to save for Himself a chosen people, the elect. God had a plan from before the foundation … Continue reading What is it that Christ has done?
2023 Recap for the Readers
Every year I write up a brief recap to send to those who give in support of the ministry labors of #letmeintroduceyou. As it is landing on a receipt, it always needs to be fit to one page which is already including other details. That feels quite prohibitive! Additionally, so many pray for the work … Continue reading 2023 Recap for the Readers
Helping that didn’t help.
Ever buried a couple thousand Bibles in the ground? We felt terrible on that day. It was our two apprentices (serving with us for three months from the States), our Muslim-background Christian brother from Darfur, and a couple handfuls of children from the “neighborhood.” We dug a massive pit to bury the Bibles in. My … Continue reading Helping that didn’t help.
5 Mission Books the Church NEEDS
Maybe you already live far from the place you called “home” while growing up.
