World Without Borders

Children in Burkina Faso

It is so funny how you depend on computers, internet, and talking to each other on a daily basis -- and it is so drastic when that is cut-off (even temporarily). When we first went overseas in 1980, we had no communication for a long time--and it was very expensive when we did. Then living in Africa in a small village, we didn't even have a phone for several years. Now I am used to talking to family weekly (and sometimes daily). We live in such a different world!!! And when the computer and phone line work -- it is GREAT! HA! So when we went a week without talking to Amy, it seemed like an eternity. It is all perspective, isn't it?

Perhaps, it is time that we begin to think about all the new, possible ways to do missions in this world without borders? I am in the process of writing a series of "missional church" papers and will be posting those from time to time. Since our organization is looking at new and creative ways to be part of global missions, I have been working through my thoughts on the matter. I am processing my thoughts, feelings, and experiences of the past 27 years of missions experience and will attempt to share my developing philosophy of missions in writing. I hope to complete the first of these writings this month.
