The Profound Implications of Social Media for Christians.

July 26, 2010

Right now, using just a smart phone and mobile data signal, you could reach more people with the gospel than Charles Spurgeon, Martin Luther, and the Apostle Paul did. Combined. There’s more gospel potential in your pocket than in all the pulpits of all the churches in your town. The contact list on your mobile [...]

Join our new Facebook Page, and enter to win one of three Free Books!

July 20, 2010

In an effort to distill just the ministry related content from our blog, so that our ministry partners can stay on top of how God is using their giving, I have made a brand new facebook page. (you can get there by clicking the ‘frotastic “advertisement” to the right. Or you can click here.) On [...]

Are BenandJacq Leaving the Field? Far from it.

July 19, 2010

I got a letter last week from a ministry partner that indicated they are coming off of our team, because we were “going to be working in the office for Campus Crusade and not out in the field with college young people.” He went on to explain how he will be supporting some folks from [...]

Gadget Idolatry. My favorite of the idolatries.

July 17, 2010

I need to clarify that my last post was hastily written, poorly thought out, and not reflective of my heart at all. While I do want an iPad, there are far more pressing financial concerns that have to be dealt with first. In my zeal over having actually touched an iPad, I neglected to think [...]

How to Score a Free iPad.

July 16, 2010

Once I got a free MacBook Pro. Well, I had to spend 350 bones to get one, but I’d call that a win. No, I can’t teach you how, because they changed the rules. You’d probably have to spend $1000, and that wouldn’t be worth the headache (still getting calls once a year or so [...]

We’re On a Mission from God. And Our Obstetrician.

July 7, 2010

My wife is 32 weeks pregnant this week. For the non-parent males in the audience, that’s 8 more weeks until full term. Additionally, non-parent males, it’s not a cakewalk to carry around a child that is literally snuggling with your bladder, and punching it from time to time. Yet today we hit the road on [...]

We’re Doing an Anonymous Survey!

July 1, 2010

We want to know why people come here, what they want to see more (or less) of, and what thoughts go into online giving. The survey is anonymous (I’ve selected to not even store IP addresses, so the only way I’ll know who you are is if you tell me in one of the comment [...]

Please Pray for Kyrgyzstan.

June 21, 2010

We know people in this country. If you haven’t heard, this past week has been tumultuous for ethnic Uzbeks living in Kyrgyzstan. As many as 2000 are believed dead, and hundreds of thousands have fled back to Uzbekistan, making it harder to reach them with the gospel. Our friends are safely back in America, but [...]

Let’s Prove the Numbers Wrong: a look at Fundraising in the Digital Age.

May 26, 2010

Ken Summerlin had such a good comment on my frustrated post about violence in the name of fund raising that as I started replying to it, I found out that it deserved it’s own post. Here’s a excerpt of Ken’s comment: …Unfortunately, telemarketers and political candidates have so abused the phone as a contact medium, [...]

The time when I most want to punch another human.

May 25, 2010

Here’s a tip: If a missionary calls you on the phone, and name-drops a friend of yours in trying to set up an appointment to meet and share more about their ministry, it’s really best to not treat that missionary like a telemarketer in a cubicle somewhere south of Jakarta. Heck, it’s not even ok [...]
