Wanna Do Mission in Asia?
Some of the folks in Austin City Life have a special place in their heart for Asia. My City Group has adopted a missionary to the unreached Shan-Dai peoples. We have former missionaries to Asian in our community. Maybe some of you are interested in going to Thailand, Burma, China or Laos?
This week James Rider, a representative from OMF International, is in town this week and early next week. He’s an acquaintance from my mission work in Asia with OMF. If you’d like to set up an appointment to ask him questions, call him at 720-291-6996. Also, consider taking David or Faye Cummings out for coffee. They can tell you stories and help you think through mission to Asia.
New David Gray
David Gray’s first single “Fugitive” off his September album Draw the Line released today. It’s pretty classic David Gray, but with more hope. Check out the description of the album
Built around a nape-prickling piano and electric guitar, and a soaring contribution from a gospel choir, David claims “I’ve been a fugitive from life, I’ve been hiding in my bubble. And I had this image of Saddam Hussein being pulled out a hole in the ground. That’s where the “mud streaked fugitive” line came from. It’s about hiding from life, from yourself.”
More Lessons from Africa
Our suffering, in many respects, is incomparable to our African brothers and sisters. Yet, they begin with a theology proper that confesses the goodness of God. We begin with a theology proper that questions the goodness of God!
