Crossing Cultures Making Disciples Memoir

New believer

New believer. We meet for encouragement and discipleship. 

This young woman lives behind walls in her country. No access to community. Seeing only immediate family members.

She came to know Christ while practicing English via video call with a sister in our local church. 

Now we connect online. According to internet strength. 

And if her electricity is on that week.

Devotional Memoir

Perspective

In flight, I glance out the window. Plane views offering perspective. Patterns visible from 20,000+ feet. 

As a kid, I begged for a seat by the window. Delighting in views as we gained altitude. 

Watching tiny cars travel small, neat lanes. Between miniature houses all lined up in rows. Rivers curving, shining in the sun through cities and countrysides. 

Fields of various colors appearing so perfectly arranged. In squares and rectangles. 

On clear nights, myriads of lights indicated cities, towns, villages far below. Captivating. Spurring on my imagination.  

Perspective. Flying over the island of Malta.
