I spent the month of May in northern Thailand, drawn by a teaching opportunity through Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. I joined my friend, Todd Johnson, in Chiang Mai for two weeks as we helped six students study global development. The students are enrolled in Gordon-Conwell’s Doctor of Ministry program on Global Christianity.... read more →

Jai Masih

Since returning from South Asia, where I visited with believers in the foothills of the Himalayas, I’ve pondered a question posed to the attendants of the Call2All conference for mobilizing Asian outreach to the unengaged.

Prayers for North Korean Refugees

I have a confession to make. Although I was born and raised in South Korea, I didn't really know much about North Korea other than hearing occasionally about its dictatorship and poverty.

The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad, the desert shall rejoice and blossom… —Isaiah 35:1a Having lived much of my adult life in the Pacific Northwest, the word wilderness conjures up images of lush foliage, beams of sunlight filtered through stands of tall trees, gentle streams and moss-covered tree... read more →

America First, Reconsidered

While recovering from knee surgery, I had time on January 20 to sit back at home and take in the inaugural day activities. I heard America’s new President proclaim two related inaugural themes: America First and Make America Great Again! Politically and patriotically, I can see why our new President... read more →

Uncharted Territory

2016 was my busiest year yet of ministry with Frontier Fellowship. I visited seven countries and many towns and cities in 11 US states. By summer’s end, I was exhausted and wanted some time alone with God to get my head and heart realigned. So I made a three-day, 26-mile... read more →
