March 13 Popcorn: HIV testimony, Africa, American missionaries, BAM, advice, Just do it

It's been ages since I've done a "popcorn" post, but it's time for another. Enjoy!

Christopher Yuan: One of the most significant people I have met this year. Dentistry, narcotics, HIV, homosexuality, expulsion, prison, salvation, now on fire for Christ. Check out ChristopherYuan.com.

Probably the best collection of African Animal photographs I have seen.

George Verwer on sending out American missionaries: "Some people are saying we can’t send American missionaries because they are too expensive. This is ridiculous. The need for workers is so huge and the global task cannot be done by nationals, especially in countries where there are hardly any believers. Most pastors in America get good salaries – so why begrudge missionaries getting what they need to do the work?"

Let's-be-realistic-advice: If you don't feel like reading that missionary prayer letter in your inbox, skim it for a few seconds, say a quick prayer, and file it. Don't wait to read it later, because you never will.

RightNow.org: don't know much about this, but I like the concept: find it, and then do it.

Finally, I have updated the map at the bottom of this blog. Scroll down once in a while, learn, and pray.
