A Life in Exile

As another year and a short break from writing draw to a close, I’m gearing up for 2026 with new material and purpose. I’m thankful that the Lord continues to allow me to be in contact with many of you who are actively on the field of service. Your newsletters, emails, and texts connect me with all the great things God is doing in your midst and in your lives. I’m often able to give feedback, when asked, and will always pray when I hear from you.

Put me on your mailing list

If you are serving and want an extra prayer warrior on your team, please contact me and I’ll send you my email. I love seeing what God is doing around the world. It doesn’t matter the sending organization; I’ll be honored to pray for you.

Ask me questions

Whether you are serving on the field or a supporter of those who do, I would love to be able to address your questions through my blog. If it’s a private matter, I’ll do that directly, but if you have a question that can benefit others on the field or in supporting churches, please respond to this post or contact me privately.

I have been gathering other questions to refer to in coming blogs, and I would love to have a good number of issues to prepare for. Know that I won’t use your names or locations for security reasons.

You’re not in this alone

As you look at the changing of the calendar year, I pray that you enter 2026 in anticipation of great things from the Lord. If you are supporting missionaries, covenant this year to proactively engage with them, whether it’s in remembering their birthdays, scheduling calls, sending care packages, developing a prayer group specifically for them, or planning a trip to encourage them in the work. If you’re on the field, I pray that this new year will be a year of boldness in witness and discipleship for the cause of Christ. The days are growing short—there is much work left to be done.

I’m thankful for the Body of Christ that extends beyond denominations and borders to allow us to join together in the Great Commission. May the Spirit of Christ fill you to overflowing as you press forward in the task of reaching the nations with the Good News until the Day of His return.

Grace and Peace
