In a previous post, I blogged about a need for evangelization and missions to the margins. In this post, I will make a case for evangelization to the rich. The left will hate what I have to say here. Missionary families have sacrificed their lives and their comforts of home to live overseas, to adopt … Continue reading Evangelization of another marginal group–the rich

The sacrifice of blood, sweat and tears
I'm continuing to blog in the same vein as a previous blog-post on missionaries and evangelization. I admire the missionary friends I know.

Many missionaries have literally … Continue reading The sacrifice of blood, sweat and tears

And perhaps not even a "Thank you"? You might have had the thought: "I really don't want to do this for them again!" This is likely how … Continue reading Appreciating missionary work and thankful for missionaries
Religion in Taiwan
While visiting my spouse's hometown in Changhua, Taiwan, I visited Bagua Mountain (actually a hill) where there is a huge statue of Buddha. I climbed up its inner staircases within its inner sanctum where there are displays on each floor explaining the history of Buddhism in Taiwan. I found this to be a good learning … Continue reading Religion in Taiwan
