New Wilmington Mission Conference

I came across another blog I'll keep an eye on tonight.  It's called Abundant Living.  The post that caught my eye was a review of this pastor's recent short term mission trip to Panama, but I liked his Become a Missionary post even more.  The opening story's a great illustration.  The story isn't revolutionary, but I does a ...

I've been holding onto some things to mention for a while and still don't have any time to give them due diligence, so here's a quick rundown. The PGF Outbox has an update from the Ellington family which is serving in Egypt. The PCUSA website has a new letter from Ellen Dozier in Guatemala where our Summer Service mission team will be traveling ...

I just found a pretty cool looking blog authored by Parrish Jones.  He seems to be a real down to earth guy who's real about life and his faith. I particularly appreciated his post about how he went about discerning and responding to his call. I believe he's giving Alice Winters a sabbatical from her work at Reformed University of ...

I just discovered Tim Carriker has begun blogging about the church and mission.  While I don't know Tim personally, he was the predecessor to my Dad (Don Dawson) at the World Mission Initiative.  His first few posts are intriguing and he even has a Portuguese blog of Biblical and missionary reflections.  You'll have to find out how ...

Here's another example of how we can use blogs for ministry and mission. Linda Badger Becker uses her Presbytery Travel Blog to report back from a couple mission trips to New Orleans and from the 2006 General Assembly.

My sister pointed this out to me.  Rev. Dr. David Clipson is a Presbyterian missionary in Guatemala who keeps in touch with the world through his blog.  He only appears to post every week or two, but each post is substantial.  Unfortunately, the website host doesn't always seem to think he's a member and takes his site ...

While I'm not an expert on mission or Asia, this news disturbs me.  Ars Technica, a technical news website, reports that the Chinese government wants the real names of bloggers. The great thing about blogs is how easy that make it for anyone to put information online.  They are a powerful tool for disseminating information (and ...

Robert Scoble, one of the best known technology bloggers I regularly read, recently wrote about the blog trust network.  He does a great job explaining how it works.  It's not too different from any other type of networking.   In a few words, people just use their blogs to tell the world about other blogs or websites ...

Here are some thoughts I've had on forums, blogs and how they can be used to assist mission, missionaries and NWMC in Christ's service. A forum is an online discussion group where people can exchange thoughts and ideas about common interests.  Messages are posted to a forum on a topic and become a part of the website. They ...
