A Theological Reflection from the Killing Fields

Recently I had a discussion about the words of the song Imagine that accompanied a short video based on the movie The Killing Fields. When I reviewed the lyrics I found them to be incredibly relevant to how atrocities can happen like those that the Khmer Rouge under Pol Pot inflicted on the people of Cambodia. You might want to listen to the lyrics of

The Killing Fields of Cambodia

Morning glories have forever changed their meaning for me. Instead of reminding me of a sunny day, I’ll remember our tour guide in Cambodia. He was a child when Pol Pot liberated Cambodia in 1975. Pol Pot’s regime soon took him from his parents to work in the fields. When the fields were flooded, the soldiers would boat him and other children out into the

Arriving in Bangkok

After months of planning we boarded our plane to Bangkok, Thailand, twenty-two women and men. I am finally visiting the place where WorldCrafts began and four of our partner artisan guilds in Thailand and Cambodia. I was reminded during the nearly 24 hour flight to go half way around the world that scripture admonishes God’s people to care for the poor. In regard to trading

A Second Chance

A beautiful young mother came by my exhibit table this week. She was looking for something she thought she had lost. Simply, a second chance. Under a tent, standing in the grass, we talked of God’s plan for us. Does He see us stumble and decide He is through with us? I can’t find anything in His character as described in His Word that causes

Remembering a 9/11 Prayer Retreat

I’m sure you remember where you were and what you were doing ten years ago on September 11. This Sunday our nation will be commemorating lives lost and life continuing after that day. An unidentified speaker has been quoted this past week as saying, “Even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness, is a way to honor those we lost, a way

Where Missional Discipleship Began

Jesus went through cities and villages proclaiming and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. He sat on rocks, walked up hills, sailed on boats, visited in homes, worshiped in synagogues, and traveled through wheat fields. He didn’t avoid the hard places, those where He was hated or misunderstood. He wasn’t fearful of the unknown. He didn’t hesitate to step off the beaten

A Missional Worldview

if someone asked you to explain your worldview, could you? You do have one, and whatever it is, your worldview will shape your life as well as the decisions you make along the way. If you are a Christ follower, then your worldview should be shaped by the worldview of biblical teaching and especially by what Jesus taught and modeled for his followers. According to Christian Overman, we walk through

The Power of God in a Girl

Very little nudging was needed before dozens of teen girls and their leaders left their chairs to come to the front of the ball room. The power of God was surging into their hearts and lives. Even with the distractions of Disney World, nothing could keep them from hearing from the One who loves them. With smiles and tears of joy and conviction, they made

Every four years our parent company, WMU, hosts teen and collegiate young women at a missions focused event. This year we are meeting at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, Walt Disney World® Resort, in Orlando, Florida. Girls will gather from across the US and other places to explore the call of God in their lives. I am thrilled that Chandra Peele is the Bible study speaker for all
