walk with me [an interview with @danohlerking]

Legacy. It is a game-changer. Sometimes the biggest impact that we can have is not merely in the lives of those we help, but in the lives of those we have the greatest influence over… our kids. When I talk with a guy like Dan Ohlerking, I see a man who’s making a huge impact [...]
how haiti changed my life
The current challenge before me is to explain that in one post. Don’t think I can even begin to do it, so I’m making this a 3 part series. And I hope I can do it in that! Ha! It’s hard to know where to start in telling the story of my family’s story and [...]

![let's talk [a photoplay on conversation for @thehighcalling]](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/conversation-community-uganda-150x150.jpg)
One of my favorite activities with The High Calling network is PhotoPlay. The current project is on conversation. Claire Burge says, “Conversation is an art. Capturing it is also an art.” The challenge is to capture conversations using shared best practices, and then convert the photo to black and white (I believe to enhance the focus [...]
order up some soul pancakes!
Someone once advised me to ask questions when approaching an unbeliever. Soul Pancake gives Christians the chance to ask questions. I stumbled onto Soul Pancake via Facebook. It’s a strange name that causes cravings for Lone Spur’s short stack. Your questions won’t be shut down by the moderator, but as I replied to some of [...]
the indigenous church and the missionary
Foreign missionaries do not create churches, but simply help local converts develop their own spiritual gifts and leadership abilities and gradually develop their own churches. Missionaries provide teaching and pastoral care alone. The church is thus indigenous from the start. It has always been self-supporting, self-propagating and self-governing. What is an “Indigenous Church?” William A. [...]
what’s the deal with [indigenous ministry]?
![what's the deal with [indigenous ministry]?](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/pastor-jose-luciano-100x100.jpg)
His name is Jose Luciano. He’s the pastor of a church in Santo Domingo called Iglesia de Dios Misionera. Like many bi-vocational pastors of small churches, he’s wrapped himself up in his work and used ‘busy-ness’ as an excuse for not being the shepherd that God called him to be. As a result, his flock was struggling [...]
the dominican republic diaries
I was having lunch one day with a friend of mine who works with a ministry called LoveServes International. We ate and swapped stories about what God was doing through our work. As he shared I could see the fire in his eyes when he talked about transformed lives down in the Dominican Republic. Then [...]

[the #haiti diaries] the face of hunger
![[the #haiti diaries] the face of hunger](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/village-on-lake-azuei-100x100.jpg)
I’ve never seen such extreme hunger. It was a hot day. A really hot day. Our team just spent about two hours packed into a school bus to get here, and then boarded the rickety wooden boats to cross Lake Azuei to get to this village. It was isolated from civilization in more ways than [...]

![[the #haiti diaries] chanler’s poem](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/chanlers-poem-100x100.png)
There were many testimonies to share when our team returned from Haiti. What I love to see is the creative ways that various people find to express themselves. Some through their photography, others through writing/blogging their stories, and still others through poetry. Chanler is a young lady who was on our team who found her [...]
