Missionary Blog Carnival
Welcome to the Missionary Blog Carnival page. This page will explain what a blog carnival is, and how you can be involved if there's one running right now.
A blog carnival, as it's run here, is basically a collection of posts around a single topic. What I'll be doing is posting a topic (watch for it at Missionary Blog Watch). Missionaries are invited to write on that topic by a certain date. Then they will submit their post in the form below.
Sometime soon after the deadline, I will post a collection of links to those posts, and perhaps other posts that I've found on the topic that weren't submitted. (If there are a lot of entries, I may post links only to the best ones).
Why?
The Missionary Blog Carnival should be able to accomplish a few things:- It will introduce you to missionary blogs you've never seen
- It will start discussions on important topics related to missions
- It will give free exposure to missionaries, and connect them to people who may be interested in getting involved
- It will bring interesting collections of focused posts to one place
How?
If you're a missionary who wants to be involved in the Missionary Blog Carnival, here's what to do:- Scroll down to see if there is a blog carnival currently running, and submit a post!
- Subscribe to Missionary Blog Watch to hear announcements about future carnivals, and to see when a new topic has been posted
- Tell your friends who are missionaries about the Missionary Blog Carnival, so they can be involved too!
Of course, for most everyone who wants to read the great posts in the carnival, subscribing to Missionary Blog Watch is the most important.
Current Topic
This blog carnival is open to any Christian missionary working in a cross cultural environment, even if you are currently not in your country of service (ie on furlough/home assignment). Please note Missionary-Blogs.com has the right to accept or reject entries for any reason.
Advice for people wanting to be Missionaries?
Through this site I constantly get feedback from people who are thinking of becoming cross cultural missionaries. They're looking for advice, books to read, Bible passages to consider.
So the question is, what would you say to someone who's thinking of serving the Lord in another culture? What basic advice would you give to someone just starting out? This could be someone just considering, all the way to the person who is deciding who to work with and preparing to come to the field.
