In this new year, I wanted to call each of you to recall three priorities we trust make up the core of all we do. In the audio attached here, these priorities come to us from Jesus’ example in Matthew 9-10. Would you pause with your family, team, cluster and local church to consider these three priorities? We must prioritize a Lord of the Harvest o…

In this month’s “extra” post, I wanted to share an audio created by your co-workers. The voices you hear will be familiar, in fact they represent some of our most experienced in the use of crisis response and human need integration in the CMT. We are each in a strategic position to respond. More than this, I personally feel compelled by the circums…

You’re going to enjoy this podcast today as Will and David spend time with us in the Word discussing “What is a Missionary, what should a Missionary do, and how we can lean about the answers to these questions from the life of Paul“. We’re thankful for these brothers as they guide us in interpreting the Letters of the New Testament for the work we …

ASAP Update, May 2021. Our hearts are with so many loved ones and partners around the South Asian sub-continent filling their days with funeral procession. I find myself in mourning and hungering for righteousness. I trust our good God to turn such posture, at work among so many believers in South Asia into the blessings promised in Matthew 5. I am…

Not only do we have frequent, repeated examples of intercessory prayer flowing from the ministry of Paul, we also have his frequent requests. Paul did not hesita…

As we begin a new year, and in fact, begin a new three-year goal period, it is right that we remember and spend time reflecting on the great and glorious gift of our own salvation. May we never get over this incredible Truth – and therefore, might we be compelled to continue giving our lives interceding and laboring among the peoples of South Asia …

Celebration Series: A Thousand Cubits Later Demonstrating Kingdom Advance – 2018-20 Beginning with our August, 2020 update and continuing periodically through this fall I would ask you to watch for and celebrate the variety of ways we have seen the Lord move and work among us and our target fields over the last three years. As we begin this series …

As we come to the beginning of June 2020, we face unprecedented times in South Asia and around the globe. A global pandemic, protests and riots, and problems of all sorts can so easily lead to anxiety. In Philippians 4, Paul encourages us to always be full of joy. Yet too easily disappointment and discouragement steal that joy away. Join us in sett…

ASAP, Interesting days! I could not be more proud of how our Affinity has responded over the last week.
