I made my first trip from the United States across the Pacific to Asia in 1995. I was part of a Global Expeditions short term missions trip with Teen Mania Ministries.

I’m not going to lie to you. Being a missionary? It’s not easy. Don’t get me wrong. There’s a lot to be thankful for. Being a missionary? It’s rewarding. We feel secure knowing that we are right where God wants us to be. I’d dare even say it’s simple, because life boils down to the…

“The end is near. It’s time to be risky. It’s time to take chances.” Our Within Reach Global missionary just texted me today. She has been living in the urban jungle of Southwest China.

There is something stirring in China. It has been going on for a while now. The whispers of continued revival. The results of missionary seeds and faithful prayers of the saints.

“They beat him up! They kicked him,” they cried. We held each others’ shoulders in sadness. “They beat up our beloved brother!” Our van bumped along the winding dirt paths leading up to an unreached people group that we have been targeting for almost 10 years.

Hongyan won’t be joining us in remembering Jesus this Easter. Disclaimer: This does not negate anything that Jesus Christ has done. She’s simply not able to join us in celebration this year.
