Missionary Blog Watch

It seems like there have been a lot of blogs springing up in Mexico in recent days.  It's hard to keep up with.

For example, you may be familiar with .:. The Harer's live journal.  Ken Harer sent me Deborah's blog, called "All children, except one, grow up."  Don't you love that title?  Deborah is short term in Mexico.

Deborah is working with The Williams in Mexico, so there's another blog.

Then I found fbumpkin, the blog of an American-Mexican family in Mexico.  Then we've got theag_news ministry along with theag_news.  Finally, we have the Mackinnon family.  These guys have three blogs going, a his and a hers and a ministry blog.

It's turning out to be very popular - Dennis Poulette's post 101 things about Mexico City.  Michelle used the idea in her post 55 things of Ensenada.

Interesting point of comparison - on the 30th of March the Slaubaughs in Madagascar posted a similar list.  Those of us from the "Western world" may find a lot of similarities as we travel the rest of the world.

Any other lists out there about Mexico or beyond?

He is ALIVE
April 12, 2007 21:46

Recently we celebrated the high holiday of the Christian Church, remembering the death and resurrection of the Lord.  Here are a few posts from the weekend from missionaries around the world...

Thoughts and memories on Resurrection Sunday from Taiwan

For The Record - what we believe and some ways to remember it, from Mexico

Now here's what it's about - Easter Baptisms in India!

A Morning Beyond Belief - considering the importance of the Passion Week (Australia)

Sometimes a few photos say it all - from Benin

Just to make it clear, this post from Canada reminds us there are No Remains To Be Found

Bringing it all into perspective is Resurrection Awakening from Romania

I wrote about the resurrection also as part of a series over the weekend.

Medical ministry
April 16, 2007 09:30

There are many Christians out there who are helping with physical healing in another culture.  What a great way to show the compassion of Jesus!  Some of these people have medical training, some don't.

But today I wanted to highlight doctors and nurses who are serving full time in another culture.  I probably missed some obvious ones - I've never taken the time to catalogue which people are in which types of ministry.  So if you can think of more, please leave a comment!

No list would be complete without Kids’ Doc in Jos, the blog of pediatrician Dr. Mike Blyth in Nigeria.  Dr Blyth is one of our veteran bloggers.

He's just finishing his service in Kenya, and returning to his native land (the USA) to serve the Lord there.  Thanks for showing us what God is doing in Kenya, Mission Safari!

Heading to Sudan to work with children is a nurse at Under the African Rain.

New as of this February - visit Musings of a Medical Missionary, serving in Ukraine.

Finally, we end up back in Mexico with The Miller Family in Mexico City.

The Miller's ministry says it all - While tending to people's physical and spiritual needs, the Millers desire to demonstate what a difference Jesus makes in every area of our lives.

May we all have a part in that mission!

Missionaries of the Caribbean
April 26, 2007 07:51

I'm actually surprised - I have only a few people in the Caribbean at the moment.  So I hope the others come out of hiding and send me a comment or an email!  Meanwhile, here's the quick tour:

Michelle shares with us Rays of Sunshine from Jamaica

Chris and Cory just left Belize, but you can still read about their ministry there.

From the Dominican Republic, The Life of Jon

Across the border, of course, is Haiti, which you can visit at Our Hearts for Haiti

Back on the mainland is The Sims Family in Honduras

Finally, we visit Mission: Costa Rica for another angle on the Caribbean.
