Where There's Life, There is a New Beginning


Welcome to One Canadian's missions adventure in Korea!!!

As of this post, a new chapter is beginning for myself personally and in the life of this blog.  Previously, I had used this blog as a kind of online journal for everyone to see my struggles, thoughts, questions and journey through faith, in order to help people who may have been mulling over the same things. But now, I want to dig my feet in change the direction and make use of this public connecting point to share my heart for missions in Korea as a whole (South AND North!).  Also, I will be posting some of the work that I am doing with media for ministry, talking about upcoming or current events, and cultural commentary. 

Coming to Korea initially was a fairly easy choice that laid before me. Obeying God's call on my life and continually return for missionary training as well as long-term missions here has been quite a challenge and stretching of faith. Some days I've quite seriously asked myself, "What the heck am I doing here!? You are NUTS!!" Yet, my heart's desire in saying "yes" to God is rooted in these foundational values:

  • Redeeming a broken world. 
  • Empowering generations with the Love of God
  • Restoring the community, city and country

When I have doubts about the reasons I am here and am under discouragement, God always reminds me how he created me to be one of the first rebuilders, just as Nehemiah was.
