Give to the work of missions

December 28, 2015 / / 0 Comments

As the year ends, it’s a good time to give to the people and causes that are close to your heart. As you evaluate your contributions, would you consider giving to the work Dawn and I are doing around the world? We are self-funded through Cru and any gift helps us pursue our goal of putting the gospel within arm’s reach of students everywhere.

We are looking forward to developing programs internationally through both study abroad students and in the medical arena in 2016. Your gift will help us pursue those strategies.

If you are so led, you can make a contribution through this link to CRU.

Thank you for considering our work and have a Happy New Year!

The truth about languages

September 17, 2015 / / 0 Comments

unnamedMy friend, Ken Cochrum, recently shared this infographic from the Washington Post in his blog On Leading Well.  I’ve been thinking about it and so I pass it along.

As this infographic shows, the majority of people in the world speak one of 12 languages as their native tongue. If you want to communicate a message to all the world, these are the languages to focus on first. It’s also interesting to remember that as a second-language, English predominates world-wide, which is helpful to the language-impaired, like myself. But for people to really hear a message and understand it, there’s no substitute for their heart language.
