16 hr flight

May write another book in that time.

Will go and flush toilet when we cross equator to see if the water stays in the bowl.

Today would have been J. I. Packer’s birthday. There are several tributes out there on this date.

Teaching a college or seminary course on evangelism this fall?

New comprehensive work on the subject--if looking for a textbook.

...of course, I'm a little biased.

If adopted as a text, I volunteer an hour to Zoom into class and speak with students.

What happens when a high Church Anglican and a low Church Baptist co-author a book on Roland Allen?

I don't know, but I see jokes coming

"An Anglican and a Baptist walk into a..."

Great conversation with Steve Rutt about our book written in light of next year's 100th anniversary of Spontaneous Expansion's publication.

Some final fun Puerto Rico pics. From Old San Juan, to the West coast, South coast, East coast, island off the island—urban, rural, mountains, beach

Great food, snorkeling, rainforest, coffee plantation, kayaking bioluminescent bay at night. Thankful for the great time with family.

But driving… driving is another level of gameplay!

It’s a wild Saturday night.

Slogging through a 1913 German copy of 18th century writings by Nikolaus Zinzendorf (“Zinzendorf’s Most Important Missionary Instructions”)

Over the past few yrs conversations have increased about house-, simple-, micro churches, something expected 18yrs ago.

In 2008, I published the first book on such US churches experiencing much conversion growth and church planting—while using 80-90% of financial resources for missions and benevolence.

Thankful for these expressions that are rightly dividing the Word of truth as they go to the nations. Much to learn from them!
