New myMinistry blog migration

David and the communications team have been working for several months to make changes to the myMinistry blogs powered by WordPress.

Some of those changes involve adding new features like being about to make a blog post and have it make a Facebook post at the same time.

This migration is happening today, and this post is a test of the Wordbooker plugin that makes posting on Facebook at the same time possible.  If you see this feel free to comment and pray for our team.

When we first moved to the flight center for the Northern Philippines our only connection to the internet was a hike down a steep and slippery slope to the road.

From there it was an hour public “jeepney” ride on a mostly dirt road to the next town where a motorcycle with a sidecar could be found.

The last few weeks have been a really dry time of learning for me.

We have been going through some amazing classes at New Tribes Bible Institute this semester. I have gotten to take 2 Corinthians, Romans, Missions in Church History, James and Angelology.

Right now in Romans class we are going through verse by verse and learning about man’s desperate need for God, about how God provided the only way for man to be cleansed, and about our new life in Christ- our justification, sanctification and glorification.
