A One Post Break—Today is For Our Daughter!

A few more dahlia pics before getting to the blog…




Our daughter (who for security reasons will remain nameless) woke up this morning on the mission field—once again. She has a passion for people groups that have not had the opportunity to hear the good news of Jesus. Since graduating from college she has been on the mission field twice before—with the same group. She spent five months in China helping to open a new mission effort to reach an unreached people group on the Tibetan plain of China.

Her true mission passion is for the unreached Muslim groups in North Africa. After China, she spent almost three months in the Sahara Desert in a Muslim refugee camp teaching English. I cannot go into details for “security” reasons. While she and her team mate were in the camp, the very first person from this people group accepted Jesus as his Savior and Lord! They baptized this person the day before they left the camp.

Once again, our daughter and her team are back in the camp. Several of the Muslim young ladies are very open to talking about God and Jesus. Please keep them in your prayers. The entire team got sick the last time they were there. The team also experienced loneliness—due to isolation, difficult living conditions and so little contact with people who speak English.

Seeing the mission updates on Presbyweb is great. Presbyterian mission co-workers do good work. Unfortunately, we do not do a good job of reaching unreached people groups! Hopefully, one day the PCUSA will once again try to bring the gospel to people who have never had the opportunity to hear about Jesus. Until then, para-church mission groups will be the front line of this particular type of outreach.

Please keep our daughter and her mission team in your prayers.
