I've Gone Farther Than Ever!

I recently updated my "OurAirports.com" profile (more details in an upcoming post) and found that with my latest trip, my "Frontiers" have expanded, to the East, to the West and to the South!

WOW! This reminds me of Matthew 28:19-20: "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” - NIV

"I Am A Missionary"

Yes, I think the missions bug has bit me. I am ready for the next adventure that God sends me on. How about you?

Check-out this really inspirational video about missionaries:

Why No Pics?

If you have been wondering why I have not been posting pictures of my travels on my blog, its because my Blogger app on my phone wouldn't let me and I did not take a computer with me on my trip. I am not sure why, even when I had REALLY good internet connection it would not post.

So, until I can get some pics from my trip posted, here is the official Outreach Video of my YWAM DTS Outreach Team. Most of the video is from he Island of Tanna, Vanuatu however, the beginning shows some shots of us on the medical ship, the M/V Pacific Hope.
