Missionary Blogs

One of the great privileges of my upbringing was that it took place in an open Christian home.  We always had visiting preachers and missionaries staying.  I can remember thinking it was so amazing that the people who were staying for the weekend lived and worked in countries I had read about in National Geographic or had seen on maps.

In our day and age, you can keep up with many missionaries via their blogs.  These are the source of regular inspiration for me.  They are also a great way to keep informed in terms of prayerful support.

Les Davey de France: Alan Davey is a friend and a great guy.  He works as a missionary in Bordeaux, France.  His blog is always interesting and full of theological, cultural, linguistic and missiological insights.

Missionary Gas: David and Olwyn Ford are Free Church missionaries in Colombia.  Again, their blog is great.

Under the Acacias: Keith Smith is a missionary in Burkina Faso.  He works with the Fulani people.  He keeps his blog regularly updated with interesting stuff.

Manuel Reaño: Manuel is also a Free Church missionary in Colombia.  Interesting South American perspective.
