I’ve seen an increasing amount of debate in the last week. I’ve been tempted to post some articles and columns. Yet, none seems quite right to me. Here are 10 quick thoughts:</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbqij_c0DFJXOl8y6PqXzvzSWYKqI5qFlfXq9WsImah_CaSmQlbRA_5HOFm8qGXof1TPyRpH18x8VzfgSiCrIvJMUnZ-N-5byHhPWYApg9Pn7XEmb1ELEWRAkTXcSggU9kXc50RU_CDceiU-dsBgRQNIMnjrilQMqeVNkd3skHAy3Z4-7emCuJ6xMxhQ/s604/FACEBOOK%20ADDICT.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="453" data-original-width="604" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbqij_c0DFJXOl8y6PqXzvzSWYKqI5qFlfXq9WsImah_CaSmQlbRA_5HOFm8qGXof1TPyRpH18x8VzfgSiCrIvJMUnZ-N-5byHhPWYApg9Pn7XEmb1ELEWRAkTXcSggU9kXc50RU_CDceiU-dsBgRQNIMnjrilQMqeVNkd3skHAy3Z4-7emCuJ6xMxhQ/s320/FACEBOOK%20ADDICT.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />1. I’ve long been a disciple of an old missionary, Roland Allen; and his book, "Missionary Methods: St. Paul’s or Ours." That led me to continually ask the question, “WWPD?” or “What Would Paul Do?” That question always seems <span><a tabindex="-1"></a></span>a bit more applicable for us ordinary humans. As my sister-in-law Debra Carr once said, “We ain’t Jesus, and this ain’t Jerusalem.” We have human limitations that Jesus as the Son of God didn’t have. Also, the historical context of Jerusalem in the First Century is tough to replicate. Paul, however, is clearly a flawed human, changed by grace and the Holy Spirit, and seeking to make a kingdom difference in a world that’s complex and rapidly changing. I can relate to Paul. </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">2. I really doubt Jesus would be on social media. He didn’t write anything we have a record of. Yet, His disciples were prolific writers. When I see all of Paul’s correspondence and realize that he kept writing even from prison there is little doubt in my mind that Paul would be on social media if he did ministry today. He’d be tweeting, Instagraming, Facebooking, blogging, and Youtubing constantly to keep his broad international network informed and inspired.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">3. Yep, social media can be destructive. It elevates nuts. It doesn’t check sources. It profits off conflict. It creates unrealistic expectations of our bodies that idolize self. It’s no wonder that it’s led to a decline in mental health among the youth. Yet, I also think it’s a factor in elderly people’s dementia acceleration. It promises community, but many times fuels isolation. It’s mobilized violence. I can empathize with the calls to limit it’s use or just be done with it.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3N83l9K_d1QJkrY8ULmdotRuzsfedu1AHhwV57ieUTbKGurobeYGqEvSv_ceeUs5YPX1kiia37ZcEQkO21ICK8qwFBDzAAy09eCSdZht_Q_1Fan0Idu2ik5pf5dpMHZe_vmxtUzg6FPW_ge3rGnDjqm8VOIltmoR4GTnuORin7b_agQN9BPWk-lJ_tA/s438/africa%20jesus%20pentecost.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="292" data-original-width="438" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3N83l9K_d1QJkrY8ULmdotRuzsfedu1AHhwV57ieUTbKGurobeYGqEvSv_ceeUs5YPX1kiia37ZcEQkO21ICK8qwFBDzAAy09eCSdZht_Q_1Fan0Idu2ik5pf5dpMHZe_vmxtUzg6FPW_ge3rGnDjqm8VOIltmoR4GTnuORin7b_agQN9BPWk-lJ_tA/s320/africa%20jesus%20pentecost.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />4. Yet, watch what it does for diaspora people. It creates conversations that span continents. The best ideas that are scattered around many nations are discussed in ways that would have been impossible years ago. Articles in international media houses get discussed in remote villages. Columns in Global South media houses get discussed in the West. Good authors in rural America get put in front of international audiences. This is how the Gospel spreads. We get to see every day what another old missionary Donald McGavran called relationship webs and people movements. </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">5. Also, watch what happens with marginalized people. I consistently interact with 3 clusters of the marginalized – immigrants to the West, people of color, and the disabled. Many times, these clusters are just a few local individuals in a local community. With their responsibilities they may rarely get a chance to communicate with one another. The social groups they are part of on social media gives them community wisdom that would likely not happen without social media.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_molVNezdt3mNDnW7NtNZ67nrFLXX8le0Gs7ymsKUnKfP59snGQHNUQYjr1nG4mF00VbYL5o_HB6k5-P3wKtLqkruWvMImqXzedwWONWc9Mu4_kelXYr2BENQp7bn3t3zLUbB-OM5wINGWSmz2RWtYeHPdW9GqhUWUIwoklQs8NLmLo85LpwY5JZHyw/s275/africa%20pentecost.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="183" data-original-width="275" height="183" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_molVNezdt3mNDnW7NtNZ67nrFLXX8le0Gs7ymsKUnKfP59snGQHNUQYjr1nG4mF00VbYL5o_HB6k5-P3wKtLqkruWvMImqXzedwWONWc9Mu4_kelXYr2BENQp7bn3t3zLUbB-OM5wINGWSmz2RWtYeHPdW9GqhUWUIwoklQs8NLmLo85LpwY5JZHyw/s1600/africa%20pentecost.jpg" width="275" /></a></div><br />6. Then watch how marginalized voices can be amplified on social media. Frankly, in Christian circles if you control pulpits, media houses, and seminaries you control the conversation. If you are denied those outlets, you can easily be ostracized. Social media has allowed those without power to speak to those with power with the voices of a community. That’s what the Old Testament prophets did.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">7. On my social media over the years, I’ve seen that the conversations of immigrants, people of color, and the disabled have drawn out the ugliest, most manipulative, and cruel side of American evangelicalism. I’ve tried to moderate, but I’ve ended up blocking some. The criticism can be relentless. Frankly, we shouldn’t be surprised as the Christian voices of the marginalized drew out religious hypocrites in both the Old and New Testament. </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">8. I’ve noticed the last week that most of the Christian leaders who are calling for less or even no social media engagement are in positions in pulpits, media houses, or seminaries. Some of them can even occasionally represent voices of the vulnerable. Yet, I notice that generally they only take the conversation as far as they can go and remain well employed. They are also generally only dialogue in public with their own elites or pet people they have picked from the vulnerable.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjylpmy-EJPs-KeWirVYKoYKlwhfFo5A0RKZCnSDCOKhnOK7fCS5TAp-VzYSbFwYKKB8Ttkk-wAQvqb9Sz9UKEfSpaTrzxiyO1nik8MiZ6idudizWLsTCvIS8XLzeEe4Wc9ydmm4jpHB6oMLAcpSaURIWCfFnKbk4tSqhvGYJ_kuU2mRbEA1bXLkGBV-A/s599/paul%20writing%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="445" data-original-width="599" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjylpmy-EJPs-KeWirVYKoYKlwhfFo5A0RKZCnSDCOKhnOK7fCS5TAp-VzYSbFwYKKB8Ttkk-wAQvqb9Sz9UKEfSpaTrzxiyO1nik8MiZ6idudizWLsTCvIS8XLzeEe4Wc9ydmm4jpHB6oMLAcpSaURIWCfFnKbk4tSqhvGYJ_kuU2mRbEA1bXLkGBV-A/s320/paul%20writing%202.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />9. Thus, I come back to my missionary question, “WWPD?” or “What Would Paul Do?” I’m sure he’d tell us to get off our phones, go for a run, take in creation, visit with our neighbors, share a meal, and love our families. Yet, I’m convinced he’d also spend some time each day checking on his network that spans continents and creating conversations about how the Gospel should address life.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">10. I also bet Paul would be outside the controlling circles of power. He’d be written off. He’d be abused. He’d block the nuts and nurture the wounded. Paul’s social media ideas would endure. Caesar’s ideas would be in history books, but rarely quoted by ordinary folks. Please use social media with Pauline wisdom.</div></div></span></div></div></div></div><div class="x6ikm8r x10wlt62 x10l6tqk" style="inset: calc(0% + 0px) calc(0% + 0px) calc(33.3333% + 1.01px);"><br /></div>Mzee Dave Jenkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14594837501579350594noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238760955345954700.post-44676994013444822122022-11-06T07:47:00.000-08:002022-11-06T07:47:13.012-08:0010 Reasons I Am Not Voting This Election <div class="" dir="auto"><div class="x1iorvi4 x1pi30zi x1l90r2v x1swvt13" data-ad-comet-preview="message" data-ad-preview="message" id="jsc_c_18c"><div class="x78zum5 xdt5ytf xz62fqu x16ldp7u"><div class="xu06os2 x1ok221b"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x1lliihq x1s928wv xhkezso x1gmr53x x1cpjm7i x1fgarty x1943h6x xudqn12 x3x7a5m x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u x1yc453h" dir="auto"><div class="xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">This coming Tuesday will be election day in the United States. It’s no secret that I have strong political opinions. Most days I read my Bible, a local newspaper, and some thoughtful magazine articles. Usually, those readings bring me to prayer. As I pray God reminds me that many times, I am to be the answer to my own prayer for community needs. This is the process Old Testament prophets went through as they saw their own frailty, God’s holiness and redemption, their community’s needs, and said, “Lord send me.” (Isaiah 6.) Every sermon I preach that concludes with a “We should ___” statement is a political message. When we preach the Gospel and disciple people, we ask for them to responsibly live in community. We are to be good citizens if the Lord lives in the hearts of ourselves and our community. <b> After months of wrestling, I’ve decided I can’t in a clean conscience vote this Tuesday. I will be a Protestant in both denominational and partisan affiliation this coming Tuesday. </b></div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">I make no judgement of others who choose to vote. My only hope is that they vote in humility with well researched opinions. Most elections do leave us with sin soiled hands. Whatever choice we make will be one that in the end leaves us like the Old Testament prophets calling out, “Woe is me for I am a man of unclean lips.” </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">I suspect this Sunday many will hear prayers in their churches for the elections. I concur with those prayers. I also suspect that many will hear encouragements to get out to vote as good Kingdom citizens. I empathize with that encouragement. Yet, I do think the history of our faith and the current partisan options do not mandate voting to be a good disciple living in community. <b>I suspect few are explaining valid reasons to abstain from voting from their Christian leaders, so I want to give a few of mine.</b></div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"><b> </b></div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR5i4XjXEsEuHKgPu3k6joo8P9jBNoAEOqYAWAohg2_-s-hBB2unzcTvZPTtQ43W-QW-OgbUkDT_YvSlBbMmz-VcrroMMRLwag1sT-qGqGlGvYmNI3McX23TI0_AoaoRIQWIoiPfY73xvLzLLWYbfXPYb0Jl0fsqkB28RlOlwquKJ2S6BKj4QnKgHPag/s438/africa%20jesus%20temptation.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="292" data-original-width="438" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR5i4XjXEsEuHKgPu3k6joo8P9jBNoAEOqYAWAohg2_-s-hBB2unzcTvZPTtQ43W-QW-OgbUkDT_YvSlBbMmz-VcrroMMRLwag1sT-qGqGlGvYmNI3McX23TI0_AoaoRIQWIoiPfY73xvLzLLWYbfXPYb0Jl0fsqkB28RlOlwquKJ2S6BKj4QnKgHPag/s320/africa%20jesus%20temptation.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />First, we are instructed to avoid every appearance of evil (1 Thessalonians and 1 Peter deal extensively with this concept.) </b> When I place my understanding of Scripture related to the issues that most concern me in policy such as the unborn, the immigrant, ethnic reconciliation, economic justice, and grace neither partisan cluster crosses my tolerance for evil in ordinary living threshold. Each instead tries to persuade me to cast a vote demonizing the opposition while asking for me to ignore substantive issues.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"><b>Second, we’re instructed in making judgements to judge ourselves first (Matthew 5 to 7.)</b> I grew up in a conservative denomination rooted in the South. I acquired a bachelors and master’s degrees from their best universities. I’ve been affiliated with local church ministries for 30 years among white evangelicals. I’ve served in America’s global cites and networked with faith leaders. I’ve pastored in a total of 3 evangelical denominations. I have significantly more bad memories of institutional sin in those churches and their structure than I have good memories. I’ve lived through lies, abuse, division, racial animosity, both threats and acts of violence, financial exploitation, tolerance of systematic sexual exploitation, and flippancy with protecting the life and health of vulnerable people. I’ve seen measures of truth, confession, and repentance; but it has been inadequate when placed against the magnitude of systematic sin. Thus, I can’t just vote with my tribe as I know how hard the hearts are.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"><b>Third, I’ve explored other options thoroughly</b>.

I could be content in that genre where I don’t get my way but do have a seat at the table that arrives at a less than ideal consensus. The American Solidarity Party may one day fill that niche. Evan McMullin in Utah is running in that ballpark. Yet, in North Dakota I don’t have that option on the ballot. <b>Thus, I’ll stay in the faith traditions of waiting, praying, and mobilizing for the future. </b></div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"><b> </b></div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"><b>Fifth, I recognize that at some point in the next few weeks the votes will be counted, and winners announced.

man from North Dakota named Eli.<span> </span>He was
a German from Russia.<span> </span>He had a cousin
named Boaz.<span> </span>Eli was ambitious and
adventurous.<span> </span>Boaz was a home body.<span> </span>Both Eli and Boaz worked hard and were
strong.<span> </span>Eli married his high school
sweetheart named Naomi.<span> </span>She too wanted
to see the world.<span> </span>While Eli and Naomi were
the life of the party when they were young, Boaz was a geek.<span> </span>Boaz was a computer nerd when nerds were not
cool.<span> </span>Though Boaz was honest and liked
by everyone he could not get a date for the life of him.</span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">A long
drought hit North Dakota.<span> </span>Eli and Naomi
lost interest in life on the farm, packed up their bags, and moved to southern
California.<span> </span>While in California they
did very well.<span> </span>They had two boys, Mike
and Chad who also did well.<span> </span>Their boys
married California girls, Ruth, and Oprah.<span>
</span>Eli came down with skin cancer and it quickly spread all over his
body.<span> </span>He died in California, was
cremated, and his ashes were scattered in the Pacific Ocean.<span> </span>His boys decided to gamble big on the latest
tech opportunity.<span> </span>They mortgaged all
the family property, neglected to keep it insured, and then were killed in an
earthquake that demolished their possessions before the investment
matured.<span> </span>Naomi, Ruth, and Oprah were
left penniless.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">Naomi was at
the end of her end.<span> </span>She heard stories of
God’s grace in North Dakota.<span> </span>There was a
new oil boom.<span> </span>It was even raining, and
the crop forecast looked good.<span> </span>She
decided to go home to North Dakota.<span> </span>Her
daughters-in-law wanted to come with her.<span>
</span>She was like a mother to them.<span>
</span>However, Naomi knew what they were getting into.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">“My
daughters,” she said, “I am not having any more sons. You girls are
beautiful.<span> </span>You are well educated.<span> </span>You have your life before you.<span> </span>Go back to your southern California friends
and family.<span> </span>Meet a boy.<span> </span>Please start over without me. <span> </span>God will be kind to you.<span> </span>However, you cannot follow me back to North
Dakota.<span> </span>You will not have a future.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">Oprah
decided to leave Naomi.<span> </span>They wept in
departure.<span> </span>Naomi blessed Oprah.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">Ruth refused
to leave.<span> </span>Naomi decided to tell her
like it is and held nothing back.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">“My people
are stubborn and independent.<span> </span>They will
not let anyone tell them what to do,” she said.</span></span></p>

tell you about the weather.<span> </span>Every
winter it is below forty for weeks.<span> </span>You
might have two blizzards in April.<span>
</span>Droughts can last years.<span>
</span>Sometimes it is in the nineties for weeks in the summer.<span> </span>You never know when a hailstorm or tornado
will come out of nowhere.<span> </span>Most people cannot
handle it.<span> </span>Those that do will still
drive eighty miles per hour on the interstate on icy roads.<span> </span>It is nuts.”</span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">Ruth refused
to leave.<span> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">“With God as
my witness I will stay with you the rest of my life.<span> </span>I will eat Fleischkuechle and
sauerkraut.<span> </span>I will go to church with
your relatives no matter whether its Lutheran, Catholic, or Evangelical.<span> </span>I will be buried with you on a lonely
prairie cemetery.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">Naomi gave
up.<span> </span>They gathered their remaining
belongings, got on a train, and went home to North Dakota.<span> </span>When they got home Naomi’s extended family
came to meet her.<span> </span>They could not believe
what had happened.<span> </span>Naomi no longer was
the life of the party.<span> </span>She was bitter
and angry.<span> </span>Naomi got a job as a Walmart
greeter.<span> </span>Ruth flipped burgers at
Wendy’s.<span> </span>Then Ruth heard a rumor that a
wealthy farmer needed a gopher for the harvest.<span>
</span>She quickly got in touch and was hired on the spot.<span> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">As luck
would have it the wealthy farmer was Boaz.<span>
</span>Financially life had gone well for Boaz while Eli and Naomi were in
California.<span> </span>The North Dakota economy
shifted where technology and finance skills were essential for
agriculture.<span> </span>Boaz made the right
choices time after time.<span> </span>Being a
computer geek was to his advantage.<span> </span>As
others struggled Boaz expanded time after time.<span> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">Boaz
changed.<span> </span>He went from being awkward to
just shy and soft spoken.<span> </span>When he did
speak people listened.<span> </span>He never married.<span> </span>Time altered his body.<span> </span>Though still remarkably strong from his
labor he was a bit overweight.<span> </span>The sun
had prematurely wrinkled his skin.<span> </span>He
wore bifocals.<span> </span>His hair went gray and
then started balding and he never got a decent haircut.<span> </span>He wore a hearing aid.<span> </span>His cholesterol and blood pressure ticked
up.<span> </span>His doctor told him he would get
healthier if he married, and then they both giggled at that unlikely
outcome.<span> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">Ruth arrived
at work early and left late.<span> </span>She did all
that was asked and found what was not getting done and did that too.<span> </span>She was out of her element and naïve; but
asked questions, read voraciously when she was not at work and began mastering
both the culture and business details.<span> </span></span></span></p>

Ruth and spoke kindly to her like if she was his own daughter.<span> </span>Somehow God’s name naturally flowed from his
lips as he wished her well.<span> </span>He was
thankful his cousin’s wife had such a daughter-in-law.<span> </span>At the end of the day, Boaz occasionally
gave Ruth a box of steaks, a bag of sweet corn, or fresh vegetables from the
garden to take home to Naomi.<span> </span>Boaz
noticed Ruth’s beauty and the eyes of his crew watching her.<span> </span>His men worked hard, but he knew their
failings.<span> </span>When Ruth was out, he pulled
his men together and gave them a lecture.</span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">“Boys if you
give this girl any ________ I will kick your _______” </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">Ruth came
home each evening dirty and tired, but with cash in her pocket, healthy food,
and Boaz’ encouragement.<span> </span>Naomi had an
idea.<span> </span>There was a twinkle in her eye
with a twinge of hope.<span> </span>What if Boaz and
Ruth were to get married?<span> </span>Yes, they
were kind of related; but it was distant and not through blood.<span> </span>Yes, there was an age difference; but Boaz was
not as old as he looked.<span> </span>Yes, there were
cultural differences, but the churches they grew up in spoke German just a
generation ago.<span> </span>And at church they heard
stories every Sunday about God’s love for all people.<span> </span>Why not try?<span>
</span>Naomi coached Ruth through how to make an audacious proposal that might
be heard.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">At the end
of a long day of harvest Boaz and his crew tidied machines up in a distant
shop.<span> </span>They had a cold beer.<span> </span>The old farmhouse on this spot had
collapsed.<span> </span>Boaz drug an old RV out to
this site for him to sleep, but everyone else drove home or to a cheap
hotel.<span> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">As the sun
set Boaz stepped into the RV and there was Ruth.<span> </span>She had left work a bit early and cleaned
up.<span> </span>Wow!<span>
</span>In front of Boaz was a candlelight steak dinner with fresh North Dakota
vegetables.<span> </span>Naomi and Ruth still had several
bottles of good California wine, and the glasses were filled.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">Boaz thought
this must be some big misunderstanding and tried to make a gracious exit.<span> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">“I didn’t
realize you were dating one of my men,” he said.<span> </span>“This is where I am sleeping.<span> </span>You must have got lost finding his place on
these roads.<span> </span>GPS never works right out
here.<span> </span>Who is it?<span> </span>I will drive you to where he is staying.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">Ruth
responded, “Nope this is for you.<span> </span>You
know my mother-in-law can be difficult to live with, but sometimes she has clever
ideas.<span> </span>I know this must look impulsive
or crazy, but when I walked through the history museum and checked dates this is
not unheard of.<span> </span>Let’s get married.<span> </span>You are the kindest man I have ever
known.<span> </span>Naomi thinks our pastor will be
supportive.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">Boaz sat
down, ate his meal, and pondered these matters.<span>
</span>He spoke.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">“Wow.<span> </span>What can I say? May the Lord richly bless
you.<span> </span><span> </span>I did not expect this.<span> </span>Yet, Naomi had promising ideas when we were
kids.<span> </span>You are stunning, smart, and hard
working. <span> </span>You are incredibly loyal.<span> </span>Everyone speaks well of you.<span> </span>You are right this is crazy for our days, but
our grandparents lived like this. <span> </span>Please
do not be afraid.<span> </span><span> </span>Why not, let us get married.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">Yet, there
are some unresolved family matters.<span> </span>There
is a section of land that Naomi seems to have an inheritance claim on.<span> </span>Our cousins are squabbling.<span> </span>If we get married without that matter resolved,
it will escalate family tension.<span> </span>If
people find out, you spent the night here gossip will get out of hand.<span> </span>Here is what we will do.<span> </span>You sleep in the bed tonight.<span> </span>I will sleep on the couch.<span> </span>You get up and be gone by 4 am.<span> </span>Do not let anyone see you.<span> </span>Do not show up until 6 am at this shop.<span> </span>Do not say a thing to anyone but
Naomi.<span> </span>I will call my lawyer and banker
in the morning and start talking to my cousin about that section.<span> </span><span> </span>I
will write a gracious check for that section of land. With God as my witness, I
will get this matter resolved ASAP.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">Now, before
you leave grab a pack of walleye out of the freezer for Naomi.<span> </span>I have more in the freezer than I can eat.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">When Ruth
got home Naomi was eagerly waiting for her.<span>
</span>Ruth told Naomi all that had happened.<span>
</span>Naomi giggled.<span> </span>Naomi said, </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">“My family
can argue over land for years.<span> </span>I bet
this matter will be cleared up by the end of the week.<span> </span>This is going to be interesting.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">The next
day, Boaz called his lawyer and banker.<span>
</span>He found a way to meet both at a small café far enough away that his
relatives would not know they were talking.<span>
</span>After crunching numbers and playing with ideas he started making phone
calls to his cousins.<span> </span>Though there was
family tension there were still enough good childhood memories and shared
interests that they would pick up the phone.<span>
</span>He invited all the concerned ones to meet for breakfast at the
conference room of a local restaurant.<span> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">The next morning,
they all arrived with a few surprised looks at who all was in the room.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">Boaz started
the conversation, “This is a bit complicated, but I wanted all of you to hear
this news from me and see if we can work this out without a squabble and paying
too much money to lawyers.<span> </span>You have probably
noticed that cute California girl, Ruth, who came home with Naomi.<span> </span>We have dated a bit and plan to get married.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">Before Boaz
could get to the part of his speech where he discussed the land, his cousins started
laughing and poking fun at him.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">One cousin
exclaimed, “I was raised Catholic, but I am going to have to become
Pentecostal.<span> </span>Miracles do still happen
today.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">Another hopped
in, “Well I am going to stay Lutheran until a doctor certifies that Ruth is not
blind.<span> </span>Come on guys, have you honestly looked
at Boaz.<span> </span>No way.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">After the
laughter ended, Boaz continued.<span> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">“Ok.<span> </span>Here is the difficult part – We all know
there is a section of land our family has squabbling over.<span> </span>It is complicated with lost documents and
unclear wills.<span> </span>One of you has a claim
on it.<span> </span>So does Naomi.<span> </span>So, do I.<span>
</span>If Ruth and I have children instead of them growing up playing with all
your grandchildren those kids will be rivals.<span>
</span>I cannot let that happen.<span> </span>I am
willing to buy the section outright today and put this all behind us.<span> </span>Name your price.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">The
concerned cousin was a bit embarrassed and muttered a bit.<span> </span>He tried to delay and make a phone call to a
banker and lawyer.<span> </span>Before he could get
on the phone, another cousin hopped in.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">“Come on man,
we all know you have talked to your lawyer about this a multiple of times.<span> </span>You know what the land is worth.<span> </span>Give Boaz a number.<span> </span>Besides, my wife got me taking dance lessons
and I am ready for a wedding dance.<span> </span>No
more delays.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">The concerned
cousin scratched a number on a napkin and handed it to Boaz.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">Boaz shifted
the conversation, “By the way guys, I am buying breakfast.<span> </span>Do not even worry about the tip.<span> </span>I have it all.<span> </span>I am still old fashioned and want to add
15%, but it seems today the going rate is 20%.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">Then Boaz wrote
a check for 20% more than his cousin had asked and pushed the check with the napkin
back to the concerned cousin.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">“Wow! I accept,”
proclaimed the concerned cousin.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">“Great,”
Boaz said, “After we leave, I will call my lawyer and draw up the papers.<span> </span>You will have documents to sign by the end of
the day.”<span> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">The room
clapped and laughed.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">Then Boaz
pulled out a box with brand new cowboy boots and handed them to his concerned
cousin.<span> </span>“It seems your wife did keep
the secret,” Boaz said, “I called to ask what size you wear and if she had seen
you eyeing any new boots the last few months.<span>
</span>These should fit you just fine.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">When the
laughter had died down the oldest cousin spoke up,</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">“Cousins I cannot
believe this.<span> </span>Yes, there really is a
God out here on the prairie.<span> </span>Boaz, May
God richly bless you and Ruth.<span> </span>May you
have scads of kids.<span> </span>May abundant rain
fall upon our lands.<span> </span>May the cattle
calve with ease.<span> </span>May your wealth
increase.<span> </span>May all these old stories we
heard from our grandparents repeat in our times.<span> </span>May God’s name be glorified through this
breakfast, your upcoming marriage, and the abundance of the land.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">Everyone
said, “Amen,” and then dismissed.</span></span></p>

Ruth married.<span> </span>Within a year they had a

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">Naomi quit
her Walmart greeter job.<span> </span>She moved into
the old homestead house that had been sitting empty but was just next door to
Boaz and Ruth’s home.<span> </span>Every day, Naomi
came over to Ruth’s place and played with Obed.<span> </span>She held his hand and walked with him on the
farm.<span> </span>She told Obed stories her grandparents
had told her plus about her days in California and return to North Dakota.<span> </span></span></span></p>

share.<span> </span>The wise women at the quilting
group directed the gossip to sharing recent good news with hope for a better
future.<span> </span>Naomi’s journey sometimes was
the topic of quilting gossip.<span> </span>The

have been blessed.<span> </span>The Lord did not
leave you alone.<span> </span>We would trade seven

is not over yet.”</span></span></p>

After all <span><a tabindex="-1"></a></span>O’Hare is in our midst and one of the busiest airports in the world. The Belgium Kingdom has a Consulate in Chicago. There must be scads of us who hop on a plane at O’Hare and fly to or through Brussels. Not only would it be those of us with business in Belgium or Europe, but it also easily includes those with family and friends in former Belgium colonies like the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, and Burundi. I’ve walked out of the Brussels airport and then got back in the departure line where the bombs went off. My family rested on chairs like the ones I see victims resting upon. It is not hard to see myself with little kids nearby when the bomb went off. In fact, as I watched Facebook friends check off that they were safe I knew many of us felt the ISIS attack in Brussels was close to home. As I checked around my Chicago home I even found my 13 year old son was checking to make sure his friends in Belgium were safe.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">I also can’t imagine I’m the only one in Chicago who felt like Al Shabaab’s attack on the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya from September 21 to 24 2013 was also a little too close to home. Chicago land’s Woodfield Mall feels comparable in size and selection to Nairobi’s Westgate Mall. Chicago has attracted Kenyan students and professionals. There is a thriving Kenyan community in Chicago and they celebrate frequent Kenyan wins at the Chicago Marathon. For those not familiar with Kenya, Nairobi is the economic hub of East Africa. If you’ve done business in East Africa you pass through Nairobi. If you’ve ever been part of some benevolent mission in East Africa you’ve probably passed through Nairobi. While in Nairobi there are opportunities to shop, play, and eat in the malls that are not so frequent in rural parts of Africa. There must be hundreds of us in Chicago land who frequented the Nairobi’s Westgate Mall. During the four day siege we watched the news constantly. I don’t know any in Chicago that counted the lost 67 lives as family. Yet, as we watched funerals on YouTube we saw pastors we knew perform funerals and we watched neighbors grieve. </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">The numbers may get a bit smaller of those who can quickly list a few more times terrorists have <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilpMx9vmflGnEqXOu8QDLjLC_mipfiWsu7W9x-ZIaOp5PN5GEFJfGbvQoawO9TzBP4WFWKOe77v48MoNoRnQXmbi1d1lae-v5UY9VLGsRz20TtfXdyM1Pu9zLGb8xk5SSV6ouVkggsG7N5ZCJkqfmgXdYuj4Tdpj5YYAua-oDDUtajtFJtj9qjW7Mj_g/s1672/ethan%20kkl%20soccer.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1672" data-original-width="1173" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilpMx9vmflGnEqXOu8QDLjLC_mipfiWsu7W9x-ZIaOp5PN5GEFJfGbvQoawO9TzBP4WFWKOe77v48MoNoRnQXmbi1d1lae-v5UY9VLGsRz20TtfXdyM1Pu9zLGb8xk5SSV6ouVkggsG7N5ZCJkqfmgXdYuj4Tdpj5YYAua-oDDUtajtFJtj9qjW7Mj_g/s320/ethan%20kkl%20soccer.jpg" width="224" /></a></div><br />attacked places we consider home, but I’ve got two more. On July 10 2010, Al Shabaab set off bombs in two locations in Kampala, Uganda. Though I was posted in Rwanda at the time we had lived 11 years previous in Uganda. Both the Ethiopian Village restaurant and the Kyadondo Rugby Club (where bombs exploded) were places we frequented. My wife, Jana loves Ethiopian food and sometimes we share it on our Friday dates. My kids played soccer with Kampala Kids League and a couple of times our teams practiced at the Kyadondo Rugby Club. The bombs went off while crowds were watching World Cup soccer games on big screen televisions. New Vision, a local newspaper was sponsoring the World Cup event at the Kyadondo Rugby Club. These are the type of events I on occasion attended.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">It is not a big stretch of the imagination to see myself at the Brussels airport, Westgate Mall, Ethiopian Village, or Kyadondo Rugby Club when terrorists attacked. My places of comfort on my journey with many earthly homes have been attacked. My guess is that there are a few hundred like me in Chicago. The attacks can feel personal, but they are not. We whose sense of home safety has been violated just carry a few unique characteristics. We’re educated, international, entrepreneurial, and fun loving. We live in airports, shopping malls, ethnic restaurants, and sports establishment. We carry passports from nations with significant disagreements with international terrorist organizations. We can easily become collateral damage. People like us gravitate to Chicago land with its diversity and big shoulders opportunity. Yet, this diversity has implications bigger than our entrepreneurial instinct. Every now and then we do a google or twitter search and see rumors that terrorist organizations have networks in Chicago. Just skimming through census reports we see similar languages and places of birth with those who terrorized our other homes. This really freaks me out and I’m sure I’m not alone.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">How do we respond when terrorists attack our home?</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Take a deep breath. Those who show up in Chicago as refugees from places like Latin American drug war zones, Eastern Congo, Southern Sudan, and Syria have seen much worse. I’d like to believe my middle class economy, education, and international connections keep me safe. What’s violated is my sense of safety, but ultimate safety is never more than an illusion that denies both human frailty and depravity. </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Fear is the terrorists’ goal. Their desired response is for us to wallow in fear. That fear can easily produce two outcomes. The first is to be too emotionally paralyzed to live. We travel less, take less entrepreneurial risks, and cease to laugh with family and friends over good food and music. The second is to act out of prejudice and rage. We ponder the outlandish. Sometimes we even speak and act in hateful ways.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkKY9rIZ1-QraQ7c3bdT8w3aivkJcttTb6CIe_btG648GqAt7rwEeG9-hDWHkD7xuYh4u4cGALNs5-tzi71F2Nq1sHTWOVDBOquHZVag3FpTF6cUal7iaktWU3maFuvxA58VS9tvn2NXsAHYFeb3q5dIZ3I1v7luSrcEoDp98ArZHVDmkf-z5mp_8TtQ/s438/africa%20jesus%20good%20samaritan.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="292" data-original-width="438" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkKY9rIZ1-QraQ7c3bdT8w3aivkJcttTb6CIe_btG648GqAt7rwEeG9-hDWHkD7xuYh4u4cGALNs5-tzi71F2Nq1sHTWOVDBOquHZVag3FpTF6cUal7iaktWU3maFuvxA58VS9tvn2NXsAHYFeb3q5dIZ3I1v7luSrcEoDp98ArZHVDmkf-z5mp_8TtQ/s320/africa%20jesus%20good%20samaritan.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />Yet, the wisdom of the ages from generations past whispers to us, “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.” That wisdom is part of many religions experience. It is also part of the movements that changed the world. Those movements were polarizing to their contemporaries. Yet, history has been remarkably kind to those who loved their neighbors well. We must particularly do that today. In times of terror close to home we must increase our skill in the art of neighboring. </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Practically, what does that look like? How do I do this?</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">First, I must simply know my neighbors. I smile when I inadvertently make eye contact with a stranger. I say, “Good morning or good afternoon, sir / mam.” I meet those who are close in proximity. I know my neighbors’ names and a few details about their lives. When appropriate I do just a little more. I pick up trash that is not my own, shovel an extra sidewalk, and help jump start a car. I also must know myself well enough to know we all leave some form of dog poop nearby. Pick up your dog poop. </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Second, don’t let kindness become an excuse for idiot behavior. Idealists hope to create a better world through kindness. Pragmatists recognize nonsense thrives in anonymity. Some of my neighbors are not good people. I lock my doors. I turn on the lights at night. I call the police if something doesn’t feel right. A concerned phone call makes more sense and looks less paranoid when I’ve been a good neighbor.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Third, I must make some friends who are different from me. One of my most profound moments after the Westgate tragedy was realizing that though I had lived 19 years in East Africa and took pride in my diverse friendships I struggled to be able to name a single Somali friend. I had absorbed the region’s prejudices and needed to make amends by forming new friendships. Practically, I started drinking tea and eating food in Chicago’s Somali restaurants. I used Somali taxi drivers. I made a couple Somali friends and found them to have many similarities with myself. </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Though today’s immigration rhetoric tends to focus on the immediate and who should or should not be<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj85EL4_-fFn7HPYKOnvoR3HqT9aJf6VLaibZu26J7C6wsRjKJWY1cwZhXMYB-inYRf3e9giyXI6KaXAryJx6xHhq_b4Ve3WYauza0OwvEEBffm8_B6IqlndnL-UHbr5NwS7sCTUhbwDos5iSZ9YzrUDxmmb_wv2gG3IEYGK-IsE3Gxf68x3e8Ro5plLA/s960/jenkins%20family%20dinner%20mandan.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj85EL4_-fFn7HPYKOnvoR3HqT9aJf6VLaibZu26J7C6wsRjKJWY1cwZhXMYB-inYRf3e9giyXI6KaXAryJx6xHhq_b4Ve3WYauza0OwvEEBffm8_B6IqlndnL-UHbr5NwS7sCTUhbwDos5iSZ9YzrUDxmmb_wv2gG3IEYGK-IsE3Gxf68x3e8Ro5plLA/s320/jenkins%20family%20dinner%20mandan.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /> admitted into the United States as an immigrant almost all those identified in the recent terror attacks are citizens of the nations attacked. Most are second generation immigrants who were unable to find a sense of home. I can easily assign some sense of group blame until I realize two matters. First, my own kids are quite similar to second generation immigrants. If not for good fortune of a few friends, a decent school, and an opportune moment my own kids could have been seduced. Second, when we do the math for terror attacks in Western countries white frustrated males are the profile, and I can sometimes be one. </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Thus as I seek out diversity I discover anew how similar is our human condition. I have some religious disagreements with the local imam. Yet, we deal with the same basic realities over and over again. Our people turn to us when life makes no sense. We ponder the profound seek to offer hope. The kids in his mosque go to school with the kids in my church. We can’t pretend we’re not part of the same community. We both pray for our young people’s success and hope they find a place to thrive. As we journey with our people we watch them marry, have children, process loss, at times thrive, and then pass from this earth. Though passing is never pleasant we both feel a sense of accomplishment when hundreds gather around a simple family and acknowledge this was a life well lived. We both grimace just a moment when the news features caricatures of us. At times the world speaks unjustly ill of the imam just as it times does me. If I won’t speak well of him why should any speak well of me.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Thus though terrorists attack my home I will still practice the art of neighboring.</div></div></span></div></div></div></div>Mzee Dave Jenkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14594837501579350594noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238760955345954700.post-69590438061030804982022-08-01T11:45:00.004-07:002022-08-01T11:45:43.448-07:00Clinging to the comfort of God<p> <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

Indeed, experience shows that the more we share Christ’s suffering the more we
are able to give of his encouragement</b>. This means that if we experience trouble,
we can pass on to you comfort and spiritual help; for if we ourselves have been
comforted we know how to encourage you to patiently endure the same sort of
troubles that we have ourselves endured. We are quite confident that if you
have to suffer troubles as we have done, then, like us, you will find the
comfort and encouragement of God.</span></i></p>

again start to feel the top of my left foot and had more movement of the toes
on my left foot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The surgery removed the
pressure on the nerves going down my legs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I’m very thankful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Though I was
making progress on healing my broken ankle, full healing would have been
impossible without some resolution to my spine issues.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My next doctor’s appointment is on August
23.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Until then I am restricted from
bending, lifting, and twisting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m
limited in my work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If things look good,
then I can start lifting up to 25 pounds and do some minimal work after this
first appointment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><p></p>

appointment is scheduled for September 23.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I hope at that point to see the spinal fusion has healed and be told I can
go back to work and life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Currently, my
days consist of walks on the prairie, rest, reading, and doing all I can to
heal well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>

receive 60% of my salary on short-term disability.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, last week I only received $22.69.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve made phone calls and sent emails but
have yet to get an answer concerning what our finances will look like while I am

a difficult season for our son, Timothy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We thought we should also let you know how things are going for
him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In August last year his supplement
security income from social security for his disability was stopped.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ve appealed and are waiting results. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we visit other families with children
with similar disabilities denial and appeals process have been common
recently.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That has meant a loss of
about $800 per month and with that loss limited how much forward progress he
can make.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had been hopeful that he
would have a good summer with Paralympic track.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had worked hard and was stronger and more
explosive than in past years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However,
he came down with a case of Covid and missed being able to go to meets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When he’s at his best his times and jumps
are close to being internationally competitive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Yet, we’ve had several summers in which he becomes injured or is
sick.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s been quite
disappointing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the last two weeks
he has been struggling with headaches and stomach pain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He has had one seizure in the last two
weeks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re making appointments with
specialists and hopeful he’ll eventually turn a corner.</span></p>

difficulties has been the health of our goldendoodle, Bayley.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have her as a therapy dog and she’s far
exceeded our expectations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Last month,
we noticed blood in her urine and a cyst on her bottom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ve spent approximately $1,000 hoping a
less invasive option would cure the problems.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>However, our veterinarian now thinks that Bayley will need surgery to remove
bladder stones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Through all of these struggles of the last month, Jana has
taken great care of Timothy, Bayley, and me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I don’t know how she does it to get us to health appointments, keep our
household organized, and keep all of our spirits up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My pain has been decreasing and I have almost gone a week
without prescription pain medicine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
are hopeful that this season of struggle will end.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am scheduled to do interim preaching at 3
churches later in August.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are very thankful for how gracious so many of you were
last year when I had my first surgery with a broken ankle and was out of work
for several months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We ask again that
you help get us through this season.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
are resolved to stay on this course. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If
you would like to financially share the journey you can mail a check directly
to us, make it out to Dave and Jana Jenkins and mail it to <b>11309 Main St.,
Killdeer, ND 58640</b>. Or if you would rather give online through Venmo our <b>Venmo

support so many of you have given. </p>

as they got old.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I became an adult
and started digging and reading sometimes, I would be astounded to connect the
dots and realize men who I considered to be rather ordinary had done heroic
things in their youth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><p></p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In my small childhood imagination, I could conceptualize my
uncles battling the Germans or Japanese.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As a high school and college student I could conceptualize that my
uncles had allies from other nations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Yet, it was not until 1993 when I was 26 years old that I got a glimpse
of the global nature of World War Two, and humbly realized the magnitude of my
uncles’ struggle.</p>

Uganda had been shaped by World War Two veterans just like my American childhood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most of the Ugandan veterans would describe
themselves as “simple young men from the village” prior to the war.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In many ways like the American veterans, I
knew who would describe themselves as “just a farm kid from Minnesota or Iowa.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After the war they all returned different
men.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was remarkable what the veterans
had become.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In Uganda they were more
cosmopolitan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They also had tasted life
not as a subject of an Empire, but as a liberator.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Independence came in African nations from
their colonial rulers partly because of the World War Two veterans.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Occasionally, I became aware of a Ugandan veteran.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I cannot at this time remember a long
conversation with one, but their names and stories just popped up repeatedly in
Uganda’s post-colonial experience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><p></p>

South on the backs of World War Two veterans.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Their ideals stirred liberty around the globe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>New nations were formed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, the terror of war had made almost all
veterans resolved to build a world of peace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Every World War Two veteran I knew (whether American or African) was a
faithful husband and father.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most were
consistent in church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those that were a
bit lax in church attendance still honored those of faith and made sure to show
up when their presence was needed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All
the veterans I knew were builders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
was practical in making their farms more efficient and modern.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was practical in manufacturing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was practical in construction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They believed in institutions and infrastructure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They built businesses, churches, schools,
parks, and roads.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were active
locally in all sorts of community organizations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A few of those veterans never left their
global concern.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were the drivers
to a missionary surge after the war.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They were also the drivers to global partnerships that kept peace such
as their nations’ foreign service and international organization such as NATO, the
UN, the World Health Organization, and the World Bank.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, the world they tried to lead had
problems in Korea, Vietnam, and the Cold War; but no generation that followed
them ever had to fight in a global conflict. Their global vision wiped out small pox, and greatly minimized the effects of measles and polio. <br /><p></p>

moral authority of American veterans walked in with me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was not a diplomat, but the moral authority
of diplomatic organizations followed me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Frankly, sometimes I got visas processed just because I had an American
passport and America was respected.<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Second World War was a shared global experience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It affected all who were part of Allied
nations for generations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we built churches and schools in Africa
the moral authority of African veterans called their nations to be builders
too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were such common values
among Allied veterans whether American, British, Ugandan, or Kenyan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I never could have dreamed that a season
would come where new generations in Western nations would forget those
sacrifices and shared values and institutions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<p class="MsoNormal">The forgetting is now happening every time a rant is made
about “My nation first.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The economists

beaches of Normandy, the skies above Britain, markets in Nanking, and the
jungles of Burma were all connected.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Today, the world is more so connected.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The outbreaks in China, Italy, Sweden, New York, and North Dakota are

earth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I imagine they look down from
heaven and smile at their great and great great grandchildren.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I imagine they also join in song with their
allied veterans in praise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If in heaven
we still use the languages of earth I imagine our veteran forefathers now
conceptualize the joys of languages, they heard in the hurry of conflict.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I imagine our veterans also enjoy sharing
stories about what life became.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The tragedy
I cannot imagine is the tragedy if the forces of nationalism so weaken global
institutions and partnerships that our allied veterans in heaven see former
allied nations denied Covid vaccines.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From
my perspective that is a betrayal of all the veterans’ sacrifice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><p></p>

claim, “My country first.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That has
always been a failed mantra of failed leaders in failed nations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please remember the global nature of our
faith, our shared humanity across borders, and the ideals of generations before
us who sacrificed for long lasting peace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

As I understand it international students in the USA cannot be enrolled only online beginning in the fall semester of 2020. If their university is only open online, they must leave the United States or transfer to another university. Hybrid enrollment is possible, but only on a limited basis. My social media network is obviously concerned. </span><br />

It is quite an undertaking to be admitted to an American university, discover the needed resources to pay for the education, acquire a visa, and then live and study in the United States away from the familiarity of home. That difficulty has been escalated by the coronavirus. Many international students like American students this spring and summer are taking online classes. Their universities and health officials are crafting plans to reopen classes this fall. It seems to me that what is needed is great flexibility and discernment to continue education while keeping students, faculty, and their community safe. Imposing rigid guidelines can easily lead to both poor academic and health outcomes. If students and their universities are unable to keep students healthy with ICE guidelines some will likely be forced to leave the United States. Yet, travel outside of the USA is problematic as even the European Union is cautious about receiving visitors from America. It is reasonable to foresee international students stranded in locations where they have few connections and are quite vulnerable.</span></div>

<b>The first hat is of a missionary parent.</b> I spent 19 years outside of the United States and have spent the last 8 years serving African Diaspora communities within the United States. I am old enough now that I bridge generations. My children have served as missionaries outside of the United States while I remained within the United States. I on occasion sit with Christian parents as we process what is the best way to educate our children and place them in locations where God’s glory can most be magnified. As such I see the United States as a mission field. Sociologists describe America as “post-Christian.” Christian influence is declining in the culture. Much of American Christianity is syncretistic and partisan. Discipleship is woeful in most churches. There simply are not enough skilled and gifted Christian laborers in America. Outside help is desperately needed. America needs missionaries. </div>

Thus, I am eager to get as many international students from Christian families into the United States as possible. We need voices of faith in secular academic environments. We need volunteer laborers in local churches and campus ministries. We need diversity and depth of Christian leadership. Missionaries have frequently entered many nations on student visas. American needs missionaries on student visas. Until the last few months if a Christian family outside of the United States had a child considering studying in America I’d do all I could to open the door for them to come simply to just strengthen Christian witness in America.</div>

However, today I would issue a missionary travel warning to America. If your child can take a gap year academically that is a good choice. If they have academic options in other nations, you would be wise to consider sending them there. If your child comes to America expect chaos. America is politically polarized. A portion of the population is fearful and angry. You never know what will happen when you step out of the door. Missionaries with black and brown skin are consistently reporting ugly bigotry. The health care is expensive and inconsistent. Corona-virus cases are increasing. The risk of sending a child to America just to study is too great to come on a flippant hope of a better education and future.</div>

<div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">
Only put your child on a plane to America if you can hug them goodbye at the airport and be at peace with them not returning. Only put them on a plane if you are prepared to hear of them being mistreated for their accent and skin color. Only put them on a plane if you can truly send them as a missionary in which you believe their journey and witness is more important than their markers of academic or professional success. The recent decision to make student visas more difficult to maintain an academic setting that is safe for their health confirm that America is not an easy mission field for the faint hearted. Only the most disciplined and dedicated youthful servants of Christ should even attempt to come to America on a student visa.</div>

<b>My second hat is an international educator.</b> I have taught missions one year at a Christian university in America (Oklahoma Christian University). I have taught ethics 6 years at a secular university in Rwanda (KIST - Kigali Institute of Science and Technology - Now part of the University of Rwanda system). I facilitated over 300 Rwandan students to attend over 10 different university in the United States. I was part of a founding board and a chairman for Kigali International Community School. Though it has been about 8 years since I have been in academics, I still feel confident I understand the landscape. </div>

<div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">
As an educator this visa decision is nuts. Let us put aside footnotes and decorum to be candid like us academic people can be in a confidential meeting. Here are 3 things I am confident about that confirm the nuttiness of this policy. </div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">

<div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q">
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">
<b>First, only a small portion of the international students who come to the United States come on full scholarships.</b> For those that come on full scholarships, America wins. Those kids are smart and disciplined. They test well. They get good grades. They boost the academic success of every institution where they land. They increase the outcomes of research universities. Their faces look good on university development brochures. Even with their costs being covered by a full scholarship, America wins with these kids. Frankly, let them in and do not mess with a winning combination.</div>

<div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q">
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">
<b>Second, most international students come from nations where the middle-class economy is rapidly growing but education institutions have not caught up to the growth</b>. Parents send these kids to America to get the best education in the world that can be bought. These kids are cash cows. They pay full tuition. Many even pay fees higher than local American students. Most international students pay tuition that subsidizes the costs of American students. Again, this is winning combination. Do not mess with success.</div>

<div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">
<b>The third reason this policy is nuts is that academic institutions during a pandemic require flexibility.</b> No one really knows what the fall will bring with coronavirus. If we redo the Spanish Flu, cases will increase, and many will go back to sheltering in place. We can prepare, plan, and hope for a better outcome. Yet, prudence tells us to stay flexible and prepare for ways to make academic progress in the worst-case scenarios of a pandemic. This is not a time for rigid government control. These decisions are best made by local health officials and individual university leaders. The winning combination will be full of Yankee ingenuity and devoid of authoritarian control. Do not mess with potential success. Trust the American people to do well when they are given flexibility. </div>

<b>My third hat is conservative American Christian.</b> I hesitate most to make these points, but I believe I must. It is become far too easy in America when one critiques our current government leadership to resort to name calling. You need to know my policy commitments and history. Some Generation Z friends describe me as “the most conservative reasonable person they know.” I have voted almost a straight Republican ticket until the last 4 years of my life. I usually vote in Republican primaries. I read the <u>Wall Street Journal</u> and <u>National Review</u>. I prefer the <u>Chicago Tribune</u> to the <u>Chicago Sun-Times</u>. I prefer the <u>Saint Paul Pioneer Press</u> to the <u>Minneapolis Star-Tribune</u>. I have never been a big political player nor close family or friends with one in Republican circles. Yet, my family has voted Republican since the Civil War. </div>

<div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q">
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">
I believe America should provide global leadership. I believe capitalism is the best economic system when compared to other options. I support building and maintaining institutions and traditions. Supporting international students in America is a consistently conservative agenda. I remember all the Walton Scholars Sam Walton scholar supported at Harding University over 30 years ago. I remember listening to Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe advocate for Rwandan students to study at Oklahoma Christian University. I remember reading editorials in the Daily Oklahoman advocating for more international students.</div>

<div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">
Frankly, for the last 4 years I have been politically homeless. I have felt my principles have been repeatedly betrayed. I am at times thoroughly embarrassed. As a conservative I believe in personal responsibility and active citizenship. Thus, I have voted more independently than I have ever before. I have written my government representatives and made phone calls like I never have before. I am active on social media in these conversations and continue to try to find ways to rally likeminded conservatives. As a conservative American Christian this student visa policy is another issue that will get my time. If you share my philosophic framework and American citizenship, I suggest you also make your perspective known by both communication and voting.</div>

So, if you are reading this blog as a friend of mine from overseas considering sending your child to America to study know I feel your tension. I probably would not put my kids on a plane to America this fall. Yet, if you do you are in my prayers and call me if something comes up with your kid where you think I can help. If you are reading this as an educator who must keep an element of decorum when you are frustrated know I understand a portion of your journey and have your back. If you are reading this as a conservative American Christian, I imagine you feel as betrayed as I do by the last 4 years. Let us make our voices heard and trust God to go beyond our feeble efforts. America is a great mission field. God has called us here. May His glory be seen through our service to others.</div>

I’m seeing a tremendous amount of conversation on social media
related to coronavirus. Also, there are conversations in organizations
I’m part of related to the best responses. There is lots of good
information out there. I’m seeing strands of thoughts related to how a
person of Christian faith lives in community during the coronavirus
pandemic. <b>Here’s my best attempt at putting the best thoughts together:</b><br />
<br />
<b>1. Don’t fear. </b>God is sovereign. He knows all <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis7jyupMcHsig0kfKkCm0grIYodCiibKT-K-hcHw7oMKChGACA8Q5tLLk_uS4tARjBQc-sf3NMbjqHSMUtTBYeSpoFW2y_WXFmgFIP8G3oVcjOueDY-Tcof2lVqbmcfTgiMZSaS_NW-tkv/s1600/africa+king+jesus.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis7jyupMcHsig0kfKkCm0grIYodCiibKT-K-hcHw7oMKChGACA8Q5tLLk_uS4tARjBQc-sf3NMbjqHSMUtTBYeSpoFW2y_WXFmgFIP8G3oVcjOueDY-Tcof2lVqbmcfTgiMZSaS_NW-tkv/s320/africa+king+jesus.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
and has all power.
He will not leave us. His Son, Jesus has risen from the dead. Death
will not overcome those who believe. Some of us may not live through
this pandemic. Yet, death is not the final matter. Most of us will
live through this pandemic. As we get through this, we will be wiser,
and our stories will glorify God.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Steward your health,
wealth, and home.</b> There are ways to prepare. Stewardship should be
part of your life. Yet, if stewardship has been lacking, we still have
some of a window to prepare. Those who are most likely to be helpful
in a pandemic are good stewards of their health, wealth, and home. Get
a good night’s sleep. Eat nutritious food. Get some daily exercise.
Live on a budget. Have some savings. Have enough food and
essentials in your home that you can quickly host others with a little
to spare. Have an extra bed or two for visitors.<br />
<br />
<b>3.
Conversely don’t pillage Walmart and hoard.</b> That’s a response based on
fear and coveting. Faith is very different. Also, the ability to
hoard ignores the plight of those in our community who live paycheck to
paycheck. We’re better than that.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Listen to good counsel. </b>
Stay aware of what government and medical leaders are advising in your
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

locality. Make sure you have some personal friends who are experts.
Call them when you have a question. Don’t get sucked into pundits and
paranoia. When you hear definite advice follow it.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Protect
the vulnerable.</b> Some of us are going to have it more difficult than
others. <b> Five quickly come to mind. They are:</b><br />
<br />
<b> a. Asians.
</b>Sadly, crisis brings out the darkest sides to humanity. Some will look
for an easy target to blame instead solving problems in a community.
Some of my Asian friends are posting about language ranging from
inappropriate jokes to just meanness. Let’s put that nonsense behind
us. If you hear or see bigotry confront it. Then just extend extra
measures of respect and kindness to those of Asian descent.<br />
<br />
<b>b.
The elderly and chronically ill.</b> Follow the instructions. Minimize
physical contact. Wash your hands. Avoid unnecessary large social
gatherings. We need to slow down the infection rates. Remember
avoiding getting the coronavirus isn’t just about you as an individual.
It’s about how many others you will infect. For the sake of others
take precautions.<br />
<br />
<b>c. International students.</b> Universities are
closing. International students will be in a difficult place. What
do they do? Where do they go? Where do they stay? Now is a time to
practice the art of hospitality. Stay aware. Call international
offices of nearby universities. Be in touch with campus ministries.
Make your extra bed at home available for those who don’t have family
nearby.<br />
<br />
<b>d. Students from low income families.</b> Many of their
families budget through the year with their <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpCJ-UxcCrd712LAFCJZcEDgiDn9hefLzn4SjiCGAEMD4rJ8ju0zslpmjNco6trGKHpt4-zcw08JT4HkojwiSpH1a4c8klnjCetDdptqKeejaGQEYBjVuQlrE_XOxJBFe1lKm518dHIWQA/s1600/poor+invite+to+feast+africa+jesus.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="292" data-original-width="438" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpCJ-UxcCrd712LAFCJZcEDgiDn9hefLzn4SjiCGAEMD4rJ8ju0zslpmjNco6trGKHpt4-zcw08JT4HkojwiSpH1a4c8klnjCetDdptqKeejaGQEYBjVuQlrE_XOxJBFe1lKm518dHIWQA/s320/poor+invite+to+feast+africa+jesus.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
room and board covered by
financial aid and are saving for their transportation home. Closing
universities puts low income families in a jam. When school closures
are extended to elementary and high schools low income students will
need to replace breakfasts and lunches that their children typically
receive at a reduced rate or free. Now is a time to stop by these
families home with a bag of groceries. It’s the time to put some cash
in a card to hand to someone you know. If you are in the position to
hire, it’s a time to create a little extra work for a parent. Remember
don’t turn these families into a project or prop on stage at church.
Help them out while respecting their dignity.<br />
<br />
<b>e. Working
families</b>. Many families rely on open schools to both educate and care
for their children as both parents work. School closures create chaos
in household management. Many don’t have extended family or neighbors
nearby. If you know a family in this situation offer to watch their
kids.<br />
<br />
<b>6. Discern.</b> We’re in new territory here. This is a
time for prayer, learning, and appropriate decisions. Discernment means
we’ll make decisions that push against our culture and comfort. Most
of us haven’t been through something like this before. Many events
that we find great joy in will need to be canceled to slow down
infection rates. If you are a decision maker for a church stay
informed, and make the best decision you can to protect your church
members and their network. For a season you need to withhold the
compassion of Christ expressed through physical touch. Shaking hands
and embracing aren’t necessary to be pastoral. As I’ve mentioned we do
want to slow infection rates in our community.<br />
<br />
<b>7. Yet, if
predictions are accurate a time is coming in which our community will
have members </b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGsAaT_bagKwzLf7v0qBkk-lRlgO8X4dlxsnZHAIjAH4DRnDaq2PUufpoY6BIJBTwem0frOtUTuCbczCxxUX0PPMgJXM291gQwjMJG-vvdMZiPbjgqdt_07YSWjnQvpl9riyToEO8Ad5Ao/s1600/africa+jesus+healing+blind.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="275" data-original-width="183" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGsAaT_bagKwzLf7v0qBkk-lRlgO8X4dlxsnZHAIjAH4DRnDaq2PUufpoY6BIJBTwem0frOtUTuCbczCxxUX0PPMgJXM291gQwjMJG-vvdMZiPbjgqdt_07YSWjnQvpl9riyToEO8Ad5Ao/s1600/africa+jesus+healing+blind.jpg" /></a></b></div>
<b>who are gravely sick. Historically, this is where
Christianity has thrived. The compassion of Christ is displayed
through human touc</b>h. Some Christian leaders will need to sit with the
sick, hold their hands, read to them Scripture, pray, and be physically
present for a long period of time. No one should be gravely ill alone.
No one who is gravely ill should be deprived of human touch. At
times this will include reminiscing about the past and laughing – even
when it hurts, and the laughter causes coughing. It’s likely that paid
medical people won’t be able to do it all. Those of us who are
physically strong may need to carry the sick from their beds to the
bathroom. We may need to carry the sick to car and drive them to a
hospital. We are possibly entering into a season where shepherding
one’s spiritual and physical fitness is shepherding one’s community.<br />
<br />
<b>8. Create new and appropriate ministry paradigms. </b>Christianity has
grown historically despite epidemics and violent persecution. Though
our rhythms of weekly services in buildings have blessed many for
generations they are not the core of church life. Creativity and
community are the core of church life. “What would the Apostle Paul do
at such a time as this?” may be the most important question of the day.<br />
<br />
I propose that Paul would listen well to government leaders
and his ministry colleagues. He’d bathe all of this in prayer. He’d
thank God for all that church infrastructure had accomplished in the
Western Church. Yet, he’d stay very flexible. He’d not ask for any
Christian leader to do what he wasn’t already doing. He’d model. He’d
appoint deacons to get in the sick’s homes to help. He’d instruct
elders to pray, teach, and touch the sick. He’d be working overtime on
blogs, vlogs, and social media. He’d wish everyone a Happy Birthday.
He’d check on people individually and in groups. He’d be a very
consistent messenger of what it means to live “in Christ.” I suspect
that his most memorable teaching would not be in large public sermons
but in intimate correspondence over the internet.<br />
<br />

Our prayers
are with all our friends and family around the world as you wrestle
through these matters. We know none of this is easy. We do believe
this season will pass. We will be wiser when it’s over. God will be
glorified. Christ’s Church will continue to transform many lives.<br />

Today, is the last day of 2019.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re both hopeful and vulnerable as we look
at 2020.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re sure our last blog and
email of 2019 isn’t the only one you have today requesting a year end
gift.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We do sense that we are exactly
where we need to be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We do sense that we
are in a location where God is moving.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We request that you put some thought into what’s happening in America,

From our perspective there are neglected places in the
margins of society that show the movements of God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>America is a great nation, but amid a great
spiritual struggle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In this struggle it
can be easy to choose a partisan path.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The issues of ministry we frequently face of
immigration, poverty, and race are frequently seen through a partisan
lens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, we believe these issues of
ministry are best addressed through the witness of the Church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are thoughtful voices of faith.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, many of those voices cluster in
urban areas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We chose in 2019 to move
to Bismarck, North Dakota as missionaries to be near a surge of African
migration, take a part-time teaching pastor role with Revive Christian Church,
and hopefully settle into life that is good for our disabled son and us as
grandparents.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

December saw these variables play out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you weren’t aware with recent policy
changes to refugee settlement local states and counties now must consent to
receive refugees.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s all been a
relatively easy process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In North Dakota
our governor, and the counties where Fargo and Grand Forks are located quickly
consented.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, in Bismarck it
quickly became international news. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(If
you haven’t seen there are articles on Burleigh County refugee settlement in
the B.B.C., New York Times, Washington Post, and local North Dakota newspapers.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Social media escalated concerns.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first Burleigh County Commissioners
meeting on December 2 had hundreds attend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The meeting had to be rescheduled for a larger venue on Monday, December
9.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At first the Burleigh County
commissioners were receiving hundreds of phone calls and emails with a 9 to 1
ratio opposing refugee settlement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
the week before December 9 a multiple of Bismarck pastors and Christian leaders
raised awareness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By December 9 the ratio
had shifted to 7 in favor of refugee settlement to 3 opposed in communication
to the commissioners.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When it came time
to vote the commissioners consented to refugee settlement by a 3 to 2
vote.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Refugees will continue to settle
in Burleigh County, North Dakota.</div>

We didn’t speak at the public meeting on December 2 or 9.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were hundreds in line who spoke.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We thought we might hurt the argument as we
are North Dakota newcomers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However,
Dave did edit one refugee’s speech, we hosted a small group discussion about
these matters with Revive, and Dave wrote each county commissioner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In a way, this was a very personal
matter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We take it as the movement of
God that most refugees in Burleigh County are from Congo and speak Kinyarwanda
(Banyamulenge ethnic group.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have deep
old Christian traditions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They worship
in Kinyarwanda and Kiswahili.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We feel
very at home with them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They only number
a few hundred in the Bismarck / Mandan metropolitan area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re unaware of any of them ever having
problems with law enforcement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They work
hard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their young people are in school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those laboring help in tough jobs such as
cleaning, home health care, and nursing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Their young men are frequently in the local sports page for their success
in soccer and track.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We believe they are
an answer to prayer for more workers in the mission field of America.</div>

Now coming back to the needed voice of the Church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During Christmas season Dave preached through
the traditional Christmas texts at Revive Christian such as Isaiah 9, Matthew
1-2, Luke 1-2, and John 1.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This past
Sunday, December 29 we were in Matthew 2 where the wise men visit Jesus’
family, King Herod orders genocide of male toddlers in the Bethlehem region,
and Jesus’ family flees to Egypt before settling into Nazareth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When we hit the point after we understand the history of the
text and ask for application to our faith community in North Dakota we look
back to several events.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Germans from
Russia came to North Dakota and settled on the prairie generations ago to flee
religious and ethnic persecution.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Armenians
also came to North Dakota to settle on the prairie fleeing genocide of the Ottoman
Turkey empire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For most in North Dakota
these types of applications are part of esteemed heritage, but too distant to
feel personal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thus, we invited Banyamulenge
refugees to tell us their stories to apply the text.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had two delightful young women, Joy and
Francine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

was working.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their church was

This
evening I’ll be attending the Burleigh County Commissioners public
meeting where they will hear perspectives, and vote upon Lutheran Social
Services request for consent to settle refugees in Burleigh County.
I’ve posted a bunch of others’ thoughts the last week. I’ve
participated in several small group discussions. Yet, I haven’t said
much in public. I’m going to write as a grandfather. Others have well
written in Burleigh County as pastors, friends, lawyers, government
leaders, professors, social workers, and immigration advocates. If you
haven’t read their perspectives, please do.<br />

When I was just a
young father living outside of the United States, we’d visit my parents
on furlough at their home on Reno Lake in northern Minnesota. My
children naively called their grandparents’ home, “America.” Whenever
the stress of travel and crowds got too much they’d request to return to
“America.” In America you could easily go fishing. In the summer you
could easily swim. You could play outside with little supervision as
life was safe. The greatest threat was probably a skunk. Your
grandpa’s neighbor had a big dog and your grandpa had a gun. There
wasn’t much to be afraid of. You were always loved. You were always
accepted. Skin color made no difference. You could eat all the sweets
you wanted. The food was always good. If you were tired you could
easily take a nap and be held. As a dad I giggled that in my young
children’s minds “America” was not nation state, but the emotional state
of your grandparents’ home.<br />

I moved to Bismarck about a month
ago for a variety of good reasons. In the back of my mind though I’m
now a grandfather and I wanted to create “America” for my grandchildren.
Whatever the outcome of tonight’s vote Bismarck will still be a place
where I intend to create “America” for my grandchildren. There will
still be beautiful scenery. There will still be fish in the rivers and
lakes. There will still be parks and trails to play. I’ll still have
a few guns at home. I’ll still have good friends. North Dakota’s
economy will still be growing. The schools will still be good. There
will still be vibrant churches in Bismarck. The crime rates will still
be low.<br />
<br />
All of the factors that make Bismarck a good place to
create “America” for my grandchildren will also create “America” for
other peoples’ grandchildren. Practically, because of low native-born
birthrates and North Dakota’s growth there will be people moving here.
Some of them will have recent immigration stories. Many will be young
married couples with college degrees and a couple kids. As a pastor
in Bismarck I get the extra privilege to be a substitute grandpa for
lots of families I adore. Some have been in the United States for
generations. Some have only been here a short period of time.<br />
<br /> What
is at stake tonight for me is my moral authority as a grandfather. I’m
not alone in this quest for moral authority. Any grandparent in
Burleigh County tonight has our grandchildren’s respect on the line.<br />
<br />

If the County Commissioners’ decision is, “No” Burleigh County will be
one of the test cases as this matter moves through the federal courts.
It will be the example as the constitution and freedom of movement is
discussed. Many historians will draw a philosophic line with the
states’ rights arguments a few Bismarck politicians have made to states’
rights arguments made in the 1850’s and 1860’s to the states’ rights
arguments made in the 1950’s through the 1970’s.<br />
<br />
Some are
debating whether these arguments are valid. Some politicians are
weighing whether they can vote, “yes,” and be reelected in Burleigh
County. I have no doubt how my grandchildren will see this vote. I
have no doubt what the perspective is on Bismarck soccer fields and
tracks. The children of refugees were key in several state soccer
championships and track times have gotten faster. I have no doubt what
the perspective will be for entrepreneurs. Refugees go to work at jobs
few others want. I have no doubt what the perspective will be in
libraries and schools. Refugee kids study and get good grades. I have
no doubt what the perspective will be in church youth groups. Refugee
kids are active and provide leadership.<br />

For my grandchildrens'
peers this vote is a no brainer. Vote yes because refugees are our
neighbors. Refugees in Bismarck are just a fraction of our population.
Yet, refugees in just a few years’ time have made our county
measurably better athletically, academically, and economically. I’m old
enough to know what happens when successful young people finish
college, get married, have kids, and start careers. The economics and
math say we all benefit.<br />

Now back to making “America” for my
grandchildren and moral authority. My granddaughter now hangs on my
every word. She laughs when I go sledding with her. She’s smart.
She’s social. She weighs serious matters though she’s just a toddler.
She like books. Today, her books are mostly pictures. I know a day
will come when she reads books full of footnotes. Tonight, I’ll stand
with refugees. I want my grandchildren to be proud of my convictions
and actions. I know if I don’t stand with refugees a day will come
when my grandchildren will have to process my public failings in a deep
and profound way. Because I believe in the “America” of children
tonight I stand with refugees in Burleigh County.</div>

A few have assumed that we are taking a full-time job with
benefits at Revive Christian Church in Bismarck.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We absolutely love our role and the family
at Revive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s really very easy to
speak well of them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, it’s a part-time
teaching pastor role of a young church made up of young families.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Revive is very generous by nature.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, for us to be financially viable we need
resources beyond their salary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For all
practical purposes their pay takes care of our housing. It is about one third

We know there is a common refrain in some circles that “all Christians
are missionaries.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In a way a<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>ll followers of Jesus have a
responsibility to participate in the Great Commission.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, one of the most insightful teachings we
ever experienced was almost 30 years ago listening to Dr. Ed Mathews at Abilene
Christian University point out that being a missionary is a specific calling or
spiritual gift.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some are given extra
measures of the missionary gifting and carry extra responsibilities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For those gifted as missionaries the Church
must support them, so the enterprise of evangelism is effective.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If all are missionaries than in a certain way
none are missionaries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Resources are
poorly utilized.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Locations of both great
need and great potential will be underserved as typically the bulk of
Christians will drift towards what is easy and understood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(To read a more extensive discussion see <a href="https://misionarytonorthamerica.blogspot.com/2016/11/not-every-christian-is-missionary.html" target="_blank">https://misionarytonorthamerica.blogspot.com/2016/11/not-every-christian-is-missionary.html</a>.) </div>

A second bit of insight related to missionary call we leaned
from fellow missionaries in Rwanda.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They pointed out that missionaries live in an economy of trust.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We go to places where local churches don’t
have the resources to pay a full salary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We go trusting, discovering, and creating resources to live.</div>

Practically, as missionaries we usually land in places at
the margins of a culture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In America it’s
easy to see that as one assesses matters like poverty and immigration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another area that we have come to believe is
at the margins is rural America.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the
past we might call urban centers places of influence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, increasingly as America is
Post-Christian and the response is extreme, I’ve grown to feel urban centers
can be controlling, manipulative, and demeaning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We sensed as missionaries God has called us
to be in the margins with immigrants, the poor, and with rural populations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In going to the margins, we don’t step away from
influence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, we emulate the model
of Christ who as the King of All Kings came to earth in poverty and humility,
lived in human flesh, suffered, and died horrendously.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The death to self and the sacrifices of His
early followers was one of the key impetuses for such rapid growth in the early
church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God has a way of placing His
servants in places where over the course of generations the world is literally
turned upside down.</div>

First, let us share the broad sweeps of good we see in North
Dakota.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The landscape is beautiful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The natural resources are abundant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All one must do is open one’s eyes to be in
wonder at God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The economy is growing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If one goes to work, it is likely that opportunities
will grow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The population is growing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Marriage rates are higher than national averages.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Divorce rates are lower.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Birth rates are higher.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Family and neighborhood connections that
provide the glue for the Gospel to move are abundant.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yet, secondly there are dark sides to North Dakota.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She has some of the highest suicide and
alcoholism rates in the nation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There
are unresolved issues in the Native American experience that still eat the
soul.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are many vulnerable
children in the foster care system.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There
are many areas where the Gospel must be lived out in practical ways.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Third, our presence is helpful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So far, most Sundays we start at Revive
Christian Church in the mornings and in the afternoon are at Adonai Evangelical
Church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Adonai is made up of recent African
immigrants.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most of Adonai’s leaders
are Kinyarwanda speakers and we feel at home with them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Adonai’s worship team is the most talented
Kinyarwanda worship teams we’ve experienced since being in the USA.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both Revive and Adonai utilize us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dave teaches over half the Sundays at Revive
and many Sunday’s at Adonai.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Jana prays and shares her wisdom with both churches. </span>With
raising 5 kids we have experience to share with the young families at
Revive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With having transitioned from
Africa to the USA with children our counsel is helpful to young families at
Adonai.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Fourth, in the margins of rural America we see cultural
influence. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The people at Revive are smart,
talented, and well educated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re with
them influencing those of influence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The people at Adonai though humble at this point in their American
journey keep popping up in Bismarck news.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Their kids make the high school sports better and they are very articulate
in explaining their immigration experiences.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Fifth, we stay busy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Yet, there aren’t resources from the local churches to pay all our
bills.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We can’t abandon this call when
the resources to pay a salary don’t exist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We must stay as long as God asks.</div>

Last week Jana and I both did Facebook Lives discussing our

listen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wanted to blog about our upcoming
move also.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For many I still imagine

I grew up in Minnesota.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I fear winter storms, but enjoy shoveling snow, winter moonlight, ice
fishing, tubing, venison chili, hot chocolate, and reading a good book by a fire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While growing up my dad and uncle Alan
would occasionally take me with them as they worked in the Dakotas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My dad worked in the road construction
business.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My uncle Alan was a cattle
buyer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I always loved time in the
Dakotas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since, I’ve been a kid I’ve
always wanted to live there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I loved the wide-open spaces, and potential to
hunt and fish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I liked the distance between
towns and the solitude on the roads.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This was such a wild dream that I deeply packed it down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I didn’t ever tell Jana.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I thought what would be the odds that I’d
ever have an opportunity to live in the Dakotas?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’d better not give it much thought.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

The first response most have when they find out that I’ve
always wanted to live in the Dakotas is to bring up the winter cold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My first memory of Bismarck is flying into
to her airport in January in the 1970’s as my dad went to bid on a construction
job.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My dad remembers how cold it was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I remember who bright the snow was and remember
getting really bored as he had meetings at the North Dakota Department of
Transportation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We passed through
Bismarck a multiple of times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The last
time I was in Bismarck was in March 1988.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I was delivering a bucket for a backhoe for a construction crew in
Williston that needed a special bucket to cut through the frost.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I ran into a ditch and broke down on the trip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I never told my dad about those hiccups.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The beauty of the solitude was what impacted
me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I asked God to bring me back, and then

Jana and I did 19 years in Africa, and now have done 7 years
in Chicago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We sensed in our return to
the USA that we should have 3 priorities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The first was to nurture our kids, and they’ve done well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We only have 1 still at home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The second was to serve East African
Diaspora.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Chicago has been a great place
to connect with large Diaspora communities and help.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The third was to nurture local churches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With this one we’ve struggled.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We just have never found a combination that
has been workable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Much of that we think
goes back to our being too old to be a starter in systems and that our perspectives
just doesn’t fit well with most of the local churches in Chicago land.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As time has gone on, we’ve increasingly
sensed that God had given us some exceptional experiences and expertise that we
needed to find a venue to share with local churches.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the back of my mind over the last 7 years I’ve also
thought we would eventually see African Diaspora people in the USA shifting to
the heartland in greater numbers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most
settle as refugees, students, or green card lottery winners into America’s global
cities as there is immigration settlement infrastructure and universities in
those cities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, most Africans are
rural people of Christian faith, and culturally more like the values and
rhythms of rural America than urban.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve
kept asking around if anyone was seeing African immigrant migration to the heartland
and heard a few stories, but never saw anything of substance documented. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then in January I saw
an article on race, birthrates, and local states in the Wall Street Journal (<a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-fertility-rates-vary-around-the-country-11547096460" target="_blank">https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-fertility-rates-vary-around-the-country-11547096460</a>.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What caught my attention was seeing large
black families from Kansas north to the Canadian border.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those areas typically don’t have large
African American population.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My gut told
me that was African immigration as I’d heard some stories of movement but didn’t
know the extent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I traded correspondence
with the author.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her research didn’t
include immigration status, but it was likely we were seeing African
immigration affect the demographics in the heartland.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I started asking questions and doing
research online.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It appeared that the
Dakotas particularly were having a surge of African immigration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some report in the last 10 years that the
population of African immigrants in the Dakotas has increased by five fold.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At the same time Jana and I kept trying to connect with
local churches and Christian organizations in Illinois.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve applied for so many jobs but keep
running into very similar dynamics repeatedly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The church networks that are open to immigration have room for us to
attend their seminars, but don’t have room for us to provide leadership.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The church networks that will open their
doors for us in some type of leadership role generally will only keep that door
open if we don’t discuss issues that are part of the African immigration
experience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our expertise is used on
occasion but not frequent enough that we can make a living or gain
traction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Many write that missionaries throughout history generally
live and serve on a society’s margins.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Occasionally,
missionaries are at the crossroads of influence in a culture, but that’s generally
an exception to the overall missionary narrative.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had seasons in Africa where we served at
points of great influence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, our
season in America has been on the margins.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We see that as the hand of God as we’ve lived like most African immigrants
do their first years in America.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As much
as is possible with white skin and American citizenship we’ve learned firsthand
about immigration, race, poverty, and disability in America.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ve pondered if our journey into the
margins was not complete.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seems to us
that in the American Christian experience the points of influence are
megachurches and para-church ministries in large urban centers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seems to us that the margins in American
Christianity are in rural America.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ve
pondered if God would also take us to rural America in our service to African
immigrants and the nurture of our kids.</div>

Our only child who is still at home is our son,
Timothy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The last few years have been a

developed a network of good parental advisors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Public school has been unworkable and we’re homeschooling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He’s struggled with respiratory infections

All these factors have made us wonder if God desired for us
to move.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had been looking for part-time
or interim ministry positions near Chicago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>One Sunday morning in April I decided to look at job postings in the
states the Wall Street Journal noted were having a surge of African
immigration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had seen a part-time
teaching pastor job with Revive Christian Church in Bismarck, North
Dakota.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I thought the position had probably
been filled, but I decided to drop them a note in the off chance that it was
still open.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They wrote back that the
position was still open.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ve had a
long dialogue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Last month, we were
in Bismarck to explore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I preached at
Revive and interviewed for the job.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We met
with African immigrants and visited one African church in Dickinson.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We met parents of children who have similar disabilities
as Timothy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Revive offered us the
job.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The African community seems vibrant

Services and the Catholic Church have settled many
refugees.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, the movement is bigger
than refugees. In Bismarck we heard a term used to describe African immigration
as primarily “secondary migration.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In a
nutshell it’s mostly those who started in America’s global cities and then
moved to better economic opportunities and a better cultural fit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
can find low to moderate skilled African immigrants driving trucks, in
agriculture, and serving in home health care for North Dakota’s elderly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I talk to those people most find that
they can find more stable better paying jobs with a lower cost of living than
in the cities they initially settled.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There are also skilled professionals in Bismarck.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some teach at the local universities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some are doctors at the local

high school and college soccer teams within 90 miles of Bismarck most have 1 to
4 players of African descent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There

Beyond how appealing North Dakota is Revive Christian has
captured our hearts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I find myself
checking in on them over social media and thinking and praying for them
frequently.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here’s some things that
captivate me about Revive:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"></span></span></span>1. Revive defines themselves as a “Front Porch
Church,” that is very involved in their community and particularly with meals,
concerts, and service in area parks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Hospitality is one of Jana’s and my spiritual gifts.<br /><br />
<br /><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">2.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span>Revive is a young church plant that has been
going for 7 years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is still room
to formulate and grow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br /><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br /><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">3.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span>Revive has been refined.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their attendance was near 90 over a year ago
when their lead church planter left.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They now are in the range of 65 to 75.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I feel confident in making a move with a church healthy enough to
survive a tough transition.<br /><br />
<br /><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">4.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span>Revive is made up of largely young families with
young children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God’s helped us raise
our own kids well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think Jana and I
could well nurture this church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
simply really enjoyed our time with their families and children.<br /><br />
<br /><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">5.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span>Revive has 3 elders and full-time worship /
administrative pastor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We don’t want to
lead alone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Having others with whom to
share leadership is very appealing.<br /><br />
<br /><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">6.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span>Revive is currently meeting in a community
center near a college and has some presence of university students.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jana and I have thrived on college campuses
before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We found two friends of friends
who teach at the college nearby, and sense we could develop relationships in
those networks. <br />
<br /><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">7.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span>Revive leaders sense their biggest needs are
someone to deepen the level of Biblical teaching and that is an area of Jana’s
and my expertise.<br />

When I sit still, I find myself moved to tears.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God heard my prayers 31 years ago on a
solitary drive through North Dakota.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
saw my struggle in a ditch and with an overheating pickup in a winter storm and
kept me safe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He’s bringing me back to a
place that feels like home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I seem to
culturally fit with North Dakota.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
that process I don’t have to leave Africa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Diaspora people are nearby, and they could also use our presence and counsel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who would have thought they variables would
come to fruition?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What will this look like as a missionary?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The average household income in Bismarck is in the range of
$60,000 and we anticipate we’d need those type of resources to minimally be
financially viable in Bismarck.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The salary
that Revive will provide as their part-time teaching pastor is $20,000 per
year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Currently, we bring in about $20,000 per year
that we count as our missionary salary so if we made this move, we’d need to
find another source of income that could generate at least $20,000 per
year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It appears that what we’d financially do with this potential
move is to trade our houseparent role at Jubilee Village for the teaching
pastor role at Revive Christian Church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Jubilee Village is technically considered, “volunteer” and we don’t get
a w-2 or 1099.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What we do get is the use
of a 3-bedroom apartment with our water, trash, and gas bill paid.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we can get into an affordable apartment in
Bismarck, we’d pick up a small amount more in real income.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Basically, if we make this move to Bismarck we’d be moving
as missionaries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’d be following <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">our
African relationship web. </span>We’d be
trying to find a location that is healthier for our son, Timothy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’d also be trying to strengthen and build
a local church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The income we’d have
wouldn’t meet our family’s financial needs, so we’d still be needing your

<b>Most
mornings I skim the news of Rwanda, Uganda, and the United States</b>.
Heaven is my home. Yet, these three nations have given me hospitality
on my missionary journey. I also most mornings read my Bible. In
these disciplines I try to make sense of life and respond appropriately.
An issue in the newspapers in all three nations is immigration and
refugees. I acknowledge the economies and histories of these nations
are different. I acknowledge the neighborhoods around each nation are
different. I acknowledge the pertinent legalese of each nation’s
immigration policies are different. Yet, I do believe each one has a
pertinent voice to the Global Church. I also believe each nation’s
refugee experience speaks to great truths of our shared humanity. I’d
like to offer 12 missionary reflections on refugees from this journey.<br />
<br />
Rwanda has a population of 11.8 million. She has over 150,000 refugees
in her midst. Most come from neighboring nations. Recently, Rwanda
begin accepting 500 refugees from abroad who were stranded in Libya.
Uganda has a population of 44.3 million. Uganda hosts 1.3 million
refugees. The United States has a population of 327.2 million.
Since the USA doesn’t have refugee camps and processes refugees to
become citizens it’s difficult to get a count of how many in the USA
have a recent refugee experience. At one point the USA was the leading
nation in the world to receive refugees from camps and process them into
citizenship. At some points that has been more than 200,000 people in a
year. Recently, that number has been cut to 18,000. The USA has lost
global leadership. The infrastructure of resettlement is being
dismantled. Even if the policy changes it will take several years to
rebuild infrastructure. <b>With all these nations here are some common
themes of humanity I see:</b><br />
<br />
<b>1. Empathy is a learned behavior. </b>
For instance, if refugee living is part of a significant portion of a<br />

nation’s population’s history, they will intuitively create hospitality
for others. To make it personal my wife, Jana was born in Cameroon
after her family was evacuated from Nigeria due to the Biafra War. I
intuitively feel a level of shared suffering with Nigeria. I
intuitively feel appreciation for hospitality when I meet a Cameroonian.
I intuitively wonder each time I meet a refugee how similar they are
to my wife. I intuitively want to help refugee situations. <b>I notice
shared communal empathy among many Ugandans and Rwandans and Americans
who are one to two generations removed from refugee living. </b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>2.
Privilege because one’s ethnicity, race, nationality and religion is
real. Refugee settlement</b><b> simply by the numbers is fundamentally
unjust.</b> Jana’s family had a much better outcome than the ordinary
Nigerians who fled their nation due to the Biafra War. Being a white,
American missionary created a multiple of better options in chaos. For
many that awareness of privilege creates a later sense of
responsibility.</div>
<br />
<b>3. Proximity to a neighboring nation’s chaos
creates unavoidable situations.</b> Distance creates choice. Economic
resources aren’t divided by nations based upon the nation’s virtue.
Sometimes you just must deal with the problem. If you make the same
choice over and over it becomes part of a corporate national character.
Uganda is an example of this. She couldn’t avoid the chaos of
neighboring nations and just had to deal with millions of refugees
pouring over her borders. In that process a national value of
hospitality developed as well as the practical infrastructure to deal
with refugees.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Refugees always create a stirring of national
debate.</b> Every refugee surge brings public scrutiny. Who are these
people? Why are the here? Will they make us unsafe? Do we have the
resources to care for them? Can’t another take responsibility? Is
there a way to turn them back? I remember these questions in
contemporary news every time there was a refugee surge. Yet, I can’t
ever remember in a history book those who treated refugees out of fear
being affirmed.<b> History’s consensus affirms nations who are hospitable
to refugees. History’s consensus also looks with regret and disdain
to those who turn away refugees.</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>5. If a nation has a recent
memory of day by day living in poverty and most people attend a </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-0GgIYL_4RdcIFDhXEXAqkHhI2cZ8Csvv0-m16prwxf04_7X42GLGY5VWBbUST0VW5bf4RuUZ3tH5jUhQD52AzY09REd3RTYvFBmeEe4cMoegpMSzvhUm1gSHGRbcel86vETZYYvYY9YN/s1600/statue+of+liberty+immigration.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="378" data-original-width="556" height="217" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-0GgIYL_4RdcIFDhXEXAqkHhI2cZ8Csvv0-m16prwxf04_7X42GLGY5VWBbUST0VW5bf4RuUZ3tH5jUhQD52AzY09REd3RTYvFBmeEe4cMoegpMSzvhUm1gSHGRbcel86vETZYYvYY9YN/s320/statue+of+liberty+immigration.jpg" width="320" /></a>local
church, they are more willing to take risks of hospitality for refugees.</b>
The memory of surviving when the odds of survival were minimal
create a national sense like Jesus feeding the 5,000. It’s not so
scary to just keep your door open and table available if you too have
been fed in the past when you should have gone hungry. As a nation
grows in her distance from day by day faith in providence, she loses her
sense of responsible hospitality. </div>
<br />
<br />
<b>6. Yes, refugees are
initially economic takers from systems. Yet, that doesn’t last long
even in the poorest of nations. </b>All nations have jobs that almost no
one born as a citizen in that nation wants to do. Refugees are the ones
who take the most difficult jobs. Without their presence at the low
end of employment many industries would stagnate. Look at the those
washing dishes, sweeping floors, picking fruit in fields, and cleaning
up after livestock to see these refugees as economic contributors.<br />
<br />
<b>
7. Refugees also many times increase the security and decrease the
crime rate in their host nation. </b> They give access to detailed
information about the situation they fled so that security operations in
the host nation can be better prepared. They also typically move in
family units. As a family unit the most basic instincts are to avoid
trouble, follow the law, get an education, go to church, stay married,
and work. Refugees rarely have unoccupied time to stir up problems in
their host nation.<br />
<br />
<b>8. For those whose loyalty is to the Kingdom
of God more so than their national identity a multiple of benefits
happen over time e</b>ven if they stay as refugees for generations in
their host nation. Their sense of <b>dual citizenship</b> to earthly nations
can feel troubling to those who only have one sense of nationality.
Yet, the kingdom does remarkable things with dual national loyalties.
<b>Probably, the best examples are in the Bible with leaders such as Moses,
Daniel, and Paul.</b><br />
<br />
<b>9. If the refugees come from a nation that
doesn’t have a strong Christian tradition and arrive </b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhJvcz8_NSDaCxfm4KwRBpJNCUUFifjFXx74NyfifVddhj7iNnFb0b20vFWYq1PV1GFo8uNg2m5s6dx4GEApTSlPPaeY9Gww54kTZKxyiRwAqBDJ23PRcHEODHM7yvrgHpsjzoxuReLpeN/s1600/africa+pentecost.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="183" data-original-width="275" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhJvcz8_NSDaCxfm4KwRBpJNCUUFifjFXx74NyfifVddhj7iNnFb0b20vFWYq1PV1GFo8uNg2m5s6dx4GEApTSlPPaeY9Gww54kTZKxyiRwAqBDJ23PRcHEODHM7yvrgHpsjzoxuReLpeN/s1600/africa+pentecost.jpg" /></a></b></div>
<b>in a nation with
strong Christian traditions it is likely that there will be a movement
to Christ.</b> The Gospel thrives with refugees. This is a means to fulfill the missionary ideal of reaching unreached nations and people
groups. It is easy to quickly find new churches or Christian
fellowships developing among refugees who come from places such as the
Middle East, North Africa, or former Communist block nations in
receiving nations that practice the freedom of religion.<br />
<br />
<b>10.
Conversely, if the refugees arrive from a nation with a strong Christian
tradition into a nation in which Christian influence is declining, they
frequently are the source of renewal.</b> The USA currently is an example
of this. Most of us in urban areas of both Europe and North America
can quickly think of church buildings whose native-born members in the
church were on a numeric decline. Then a refugee church begins meeting
in the building and the building became filled. Then over time the
children of the refugees adopted the language of the host nation and the
refugee church became a multi-cultural one that could reach to the host
culture as well as its own original culture.<br />
<br />
<b>11. In the children
of refugees not only is there effective multi-cultural Gospel outreach
there is </b><br />

<b>great athletic, academic, artistic, and entrepreneurial
success</b>. Pick up a local newspaper and start reading the school news
and it’s apparent. Pick up a business magazine and start skimming the
names and stories and it’s obvious there is something about the refugee
experience that produces excellent human outcomes.<br />
<br />
<b> 12. Refugee
living is not eternal.</b> The original nation will someday be stable.
When that happens there will be a large, educated with professional
skill Diaspora population. Some of them have dual national loyalties
with a deep commitment to God’s Kingdom. They will return to their
historic home. When they return, they will be the builders of churches,
schools, businesses, and government policy. <b>The Old Testament books
of Ezra and Nehemiah tell this story. If you read international
newspapers, you will also find many contemporary stories of this
Diaspora experience of building out of chaos.</b></div>

I’m properly a missionary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I’m an armchair economist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
Africa we were part of a region with a rapidly growing middle class.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I believe a portion of that economic reality
was driven by people of faith.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Missionaries and church leaders started schools, businesses, agricultural
projects, and micro-finance organizations that contributed to the increase of
knowledge and the economic capacity of our region.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of us were reading economic theory
books as much as we read Bible commentaries, Christian history, and
theology.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes even us Christian
leaders were part of the discussions with government leaders who made economic
policy decisions for the nation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My
son, Ethan majored in Economics at Wheaton College and this fall will begin
work on a Ph.D. in Economics at Notre Dame University.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In writing his entrance essays he mentioned
overhearing our front porch conversations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He also mentioned the first book he picked up to read on his own was an
economic book, <u>Dead Aid</u> by Dambisa Moyo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some
may discredit me as I don’t have an economics degree or published economics articles
in peer review journals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, missionary
colleagues do remark I’m skilled at putting together big picture realities and applying
the Gospel to shifting realities.</div>

This is personal too. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve for 7 years lived near the poverty line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve had to find a way to make sense of poverty
in America, hang onto my faith, and speak with both wisdom and grace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only has this been my family’s journey, it
has been the journey of my Diaspora community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

If you take the time to read my thoughts, you’ll notice I
push against common presuppositions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
hope this doesn’t cause you to cease reading and dialoguing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s true the Bible does affirm hard work, good
plans, and diligence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Apostle Paul
even writes, “<i>If anyone isn’t willing to work, he should not eat. (2
Thessalonians 3:10.)”</i> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both government
and Christian organizations policies related to the poor should encourage work.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yet, don’t also miss that in the Holman’s Christian Standard
Bible there are 172 references to the poor and 136 references to
foreigners. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Possibly, one of the better
verses to summarize an abundance of Bible teaching on both is “<i>Do not
oppress a hired hand who is poor and needy, whether one of your brothers or one
of the foreigners residing within a town in your land (Deuteronomy 24:14.)”</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both government and Christian organizations’
policies related to the poor and immigration should encourage building economic
systems that are just.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is my perspective
that recent policy changes made for immigrants to discourage public assistance don’t
reflect an accurate understanding of Scripture, America’s economy, and the path
to middle class viability.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here’s some things I’ve noticed over the last few years:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>First,</b> <b>America is increasingly moving towards a two-tiered
economy</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was a period from the
end of the Second World War until the late 1980’s when America’s economy was rapidly
growing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>True, there were recessions and
at times high inflation, but most people were able to live in the middle class.
There were many pathways to middle class viability.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s no longer the economic reality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The rich are getting richer at a rapid
exponential pace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The middle class
either must make the leap into the upper middle class or they will begin a
drift towards the lower class.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Education
is expensive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Debt piles up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is a gig economy of 1099’s with no benefits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are jobs to be found, but if you don’t
have the right social connections at the right time with the right background
you can only get dead end jobs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That
pull of a two-tiered economy has created a tremendous amount of tension and
anxiety.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For almost all citizens of the
USA we’re torn up about it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Few are
celebrating it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most of us are looking
for answers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, when we turn on the
news the pundits tend to just play to our emotions and extremes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every now and then we even take a deep
pause.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Situations like finding out
enlisted soldiers are on Food Stamps and some of our war veterans are homeless
eat at our souls.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFQmMu_w-OqN15VHDM0RHf4De1RumjYgn8kfNvrrZugPVIvjbUxdXAiIjvFpLdMgsTDLr1lqKmKf9dfsdaLyitLNxlvlDQcnZrzib3RTKPcFIrym6heinwEl4ELLNE3xUs9DqPAank5jFk/s1600/africa+jesus+mary.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="438" data-original-width="292" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFQmMu_w-OqN15VHDM0RHf4De1RumjYgn8kfNvrrZugPVIvjbUxdXAiIjvFpLdMgsTDLr1lqKmKf9dfsdaLyitLNxlvlDQcnZrzib3RTKPcFIrym6heinwEl4ELLNE3xUs9DqPAank5jFk/s320/africa+jesus+mary.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Second, low birth rates are not the full reason for the development
of this two-tiered economy, but they are significant factors in it</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The American economy had its biggest boom
when birth rates were in the range of 3.6 per female.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That season had many men laboring in
abundant middle-class jobs that only needed gumption to do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That season also with so many births drove
consumption of housing, automobiles, and living essentials.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That consumption created a booming
economy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now the birthrates are closer
to 1.7.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With such low birth rates its
hard to find all the laborers needed for many industries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s also means there just isn’t the consumption
of goods that drive economies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Third, many Industries need immigrants to thrive.</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With decades of declining birth rates there
just aren’t enough native-born Americans to do all the work that needs to be
done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some of that is related to unskilled
labor-intensive jobs that tend to be lower paying and take a toll on the
body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Middle aged people many times can’t
do that work due to our health.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of
us also don’t want to do that work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Many of us with middle class responsibilities can’t afford to do the
work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These industries tend to be in areas such as
construction or agricultural.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The USA
immigration system only allows 5,000 unskilled visas to be processed per year
for these industries so practically our most entrepreneurial and thrifty
managers in construction and agriculture have little options other than to use
undocumented labor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another growing industry with America’s aging population is
home health care.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Again, the wages are
so low that about the only people who will and can do the work are the foreign
born.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That industry tends to attract
documented laborers from places like Sub-Saharan Africa and the Philippines,
but the wages are so low that in order to survive with a family the workers
must be on public assistance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we
don’t have systems to get minimally skilled laborers into the USA and keep them
healthy, we are shortchanging many industries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Without immigrants in home health care we would neglect our elderly
population.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Fourth, there tends to be a stereotype of immigrants who
take from the system and don’t reflect </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguavPwH9Efaj6-uKcvm-Tk0v0gqbm_ElWl7B6cwDXTtCFrQJ8SdGmxqu9FlSMHoHCuLqcVBIxr5yJTRjATB5xmGHQxKTOilIU5GDFLxJQ0BazuZtrlAjPL7btI5GHUQw8pgzT4A01f247x/s1600/statue+of+liberty+immigration.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="378" data-original-width="556" height="217" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguavPwH9Efaj6-uKcvm-Tk0v0gqbm_ElWl7B6cwDXTtCFrQJ8SdGmxqu9FlSMHoHCuLqcVBIxr5yJTRjATB5xmGHQxKTOilIU5GDFLxJQ0BazuZtrlAjPL7btI5GHUQw8pgzT4A01f247x/s320/statue+of+liberty+immigration.jpg" width="320" /></a></b></div>
<b>American values that is false.</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Immigrants are more likely to be employed than
native born Americans.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If they are undocumented,
they can’t receive many benefits though many of them pay taxes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If your definition of American ideals
includes things such as church attendance, marriage, children, and educational
attainment in all those categories America’s foreign-born population hits
higher numbers than the native born.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Fifth, America’s immigration system is a mess</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, in some ways the deepest values of America
force us to wade into the mess that theologians call paradoxes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can improve the policy, but you can’t
make it perfect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the messiest
parts of America is our 14<sup>th</sup> Amendment which historically affirms
birthright citizenship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a great
attempt at undoing the legacy of slavery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Also, if you watch world history, you’ll notice that if citizenship is
not granted to refugees born in a nation not their ancestral home when a
conflict lasts several generations you will find a permanent serf class
develops. A permanent serf class ensures mutating conflict.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the current American reality undocumented
immigrants bear children who are American citizens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we deport the undocumented parents what
happens to the American citizen kids?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Practically, we’re tearing apart families.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Other factors in the mess of American
immigration are that most of our immigration laws haven’t been updated legislatively
in over 50 years. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As such our business
leaders when faced with a need for immigrant labor either must choose to cheat
or not compete.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have too many
choices before our American population that in a just system would be quite
rare.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Sixth, it seems that as the policy is shifting to make it
difficult for immigrants to use public assistance there is a common inaccurate perception
that undocumented immigrants use public assistance.</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Undocumented immigrants qualify for very few
public assistance programs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is
some variation state by state, but about the only consistent use of government
resources is that children of undocumented immigrants can attend free public
school.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Seventh, documented immigrants do use some public
assistance.</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It varies by visa type
and some by state.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For instance, international
students can buy into an Obamacare Affordable Care Marketplace health insurance
plan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Adult international students don’t
qualify for Medicaid, but if they have children their children qualify.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most immigrants don’t qualify for Food Stamps
until they have been in the USA for 5 years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>However, many qualify for WIC (Women Infants Children.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Eighth, though it can appear that documented immigrants
who use some public assistance programs are making a choice to be poor that is
a problematic understanding of their situation.</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First, whether they are international
students or unskilled laborers their presence is necessary for many industries
to thrive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Second, it will likely take
their family a range of between 5 to 20 years to rise out of low income living
and become viable middle class.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
seems wise since their presence is part of the American economy to use programs
that will keep them healthy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If documented
immigrants avoid using Medicaid or food programs for their children America’s
health industry takes a risk of massive unpaid medical emergency room
bills.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is a cost to poor health
that gets shared out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lastly, remember
almost no one chooses to be poor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Generally, to be poor is a degrading experience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It means your word is constantly doubted as you
fill out applications.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It means lots of
standing in lines and sitting in uncomfortable chairs in which you have little
ability to make decisions for yourself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It means watching your kids miss out and at times be excluded from
functions even at church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It means frequently
being the subject of jokes, jabs, and punch lines.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It means that no matter what successes you
have at life most organizations will not consider you worthy to provide
leadership.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You are a project and lose
individual human dignity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The social
dynamics of much of American life drive one to escape poverty as soon as
possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Ninth, many immigrants after years of trying find
themselves in an unending cycle of dead-end jobs</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b>With limited resources many have found that
the best way to start is what the Harvard Business School calls Food Stamp
Entrepreneurs</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The way the system frequently
works is they can’t gather enough education, resources, or connections to break
into middle class employment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their only
option is to initiate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They must be
entrepreneurs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Research consistently
shows that immigrants have a much higher success rate than native born
Americans as starters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their startups
range from businesses to churches to nonprofits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In simple terms they use public assistance to
make sure their family has food and medical care.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then they use every available resource to
build their enterprise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In many scenarios by the time the enterprise hits
maturity the food stamp entrepreneur is employing many, paying taxes, and
making significant contributions to America’s economic wellbeing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some may take issue with the Food Stamp Entrepreneur
by making an argument about America’s history of “standing on one’s own two
feet,” and pulling one’s self up by one’s bootstraps.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, please don’t ignore that slavery was practiced,
and land stolen from America’s original people during the origins of America’s
history.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we don’t want to look at the
darkness please contemplate how many livelihoods were built by the Homestead
Act.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>America in both our darkest and

industrious immigrants to economically thrive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

help but notice that family migration starts many viable churches, but I’ll hold
off on a long discussion on that matter.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If you want people to have strong social bonds one of the most obvious
means is to continue and expedite family reunification immigration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thus, there is enough social glue to do
things like childcare, business partnering, and creative marketing and
research.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

</span></span></span><b>Marriage:</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Research also consistently shows that
married people are more likely to move from low income to middle class
viability than are single parents.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since
immigrants have higher marriage rates and lower divorce rates it seems prudent
to facilitate their immigration and build government policy frameworks that
reward marriage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

</span></span></span><b>Children:</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As discussed above birth rates must keep pace with aging population and the
need for labor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since immigrant families
have birth rates closer to the Baby Boom it seems prudent to encourage the
raising of children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tax credits, day
care, maternity leave, school lunch programs, Head Start, Food Stamps, WIC, and
Medicaid all make raising children a healthier endeavor for low income
families.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If one recognizes that to
reach middle class viability may take a generation this also seems prudent
while at the same time keeping low income families which the American economy
needs healthy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

</span></span></span><b>Education:</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Knowledge and networks are the by products of
higher education.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Already, the USA has
many international students who will try to settle in the USA after graduation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, many immigrant family’s children become
exceptional students.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Programs such as Pell
Grants, Scholarships, and debt forgiveness keep the education pipeline going so
American has a skilled workforce.</div>

</span></span></span><b>Work: </b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is obvious.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As mentioned, foreign born American residents
have higher employment rates than the native-born population.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They also tend to do labor that few native-born
Americans will do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Labor provides the
economic base for national wealth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
should be rewarded.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Continuing programs
like Earned Income Credits should continue and be available for working
families.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If social programs are sized
down for able bodied families, it makes sense to strengthen matters like the
Earned Income Credit.</div>

If you’ve read through this, you may be asking why this is
so important for a missionary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a
good question.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One it’s my story.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re a low-income family with very
successful kids who have been stuck in dead end jobs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re like most of the Diaspora families we
know.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re trying to be Food Stamp
Entrepreneurs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Two, it’s the story of our
Diaspora community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We love them,
believe in them, and want their voices to be heard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Three, I believe the Gospel spreads through local
churches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Practically, I think that
happens best when the Gospel is in a nation that is peaceful, just, and
economically stable. </div>

I chose not to footnote, but if you follow my twitter and Facebook
you see I read a lot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you want some
sources to my thoughts just drop me a line, or maybe even better yet start googling,
reading, and make some immigrant friends to trade notes with.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<span lang="EN">We have been thankful for Cornerstone
Christian Church who received our support these last 6 months but are excited
that we have found a more permanent solution with Faith and Learning
International who will be our Fiscal sponsorship which “ refers to the practice
of non-profit organizations offering their legal and tax-exempt status to
groups—typically projects—engaged in activities related to the sponsoring
organization's mission. It typically involves a fee-based contractual
arrangement between a project and an established non-profit.” They will also
handle all our back office of running our nonprofit and take a small percentage
of our giving to cover for this service.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<span lang="EN"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
really like Faith and Learning International’s story and purpose “ In 2004, the
founders of Faith and Learning International felt called to serve God and the
Church worldwide in an unique yet practical way. Our purpose is to serve those
who have received a calling to ministry. We understand that many missionaries and
ministries get bogged down with administration, accounting, policies and
operational procedures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We want our
projects to spend time serving, not with spreadsheets. It’s important to know
FLI is not a missionary sending agency.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We are ideal for the entrepreneurial person with a vision for mission outside
the parameters of the typical mission/sending agency. Our structure keeps our
overhead at a minimum, meaning more dollars are spent on ministry than on
paperwork.FLI is a full member in good standing with the Evangelical Council
for Financial Accountability(ECFA).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
are an IRS 501(c)3 organization authorized to issue tax deductible receipts for
charitable contributions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Annual audits
conducted by an independent firm are available upon request.” We really feel
that this is a great fit for East African Diaspora Community and are excited
about where God takes us. </span></div>

Let me start with basic missionary theology.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s called incarnational ministry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The predominant text it comes from is John
20:21 where our Lord says, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also
send you.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Missionary theologians
interpret this text to mean that the Son of God left all glory in heaven. He
came to earth to live in human flesh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He learned all the pain and suffering of this earth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That perfected Him for His death to atone
for our sins.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In a similar way, those
who leave their homes as missionaries must take on the pain and suffering of
their host community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They must live amid
the people they serve, experience their experiences, and be perfected.</div>

In many ways, our family has had that journey.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our return to American has been

skill set, and connections have had little value to most American decision
makers we have known.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ve had to start
at the bottom when we are old.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our
bodies have failings of our age.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ve
at times worked 4 jobs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ve been
greatly disappointed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ve had times in
the past where we couldn’t pay all our bills for months upon months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ve been threatened.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For a time, we were on food stamps.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ve at times been humiliated and degraded. </div>

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the contemporary
American Church, there is no longer a scarlet letter of “A” for adultery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now, the American Church’s scarlet letter is the”
P” for poverty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you wear a P the
American Church will rarely give you credibility and at best sees you as a prop
or a project.</div>

In one of our dark seasons in America, Jana in her studies
found a Harvard Business School paper on the phenomena of “Food Stamp
Entrepreneurs” (<a href="https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/item.aspx?num=50692" target="_blank">https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/item.aspx?num=50692</a>.)
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was well reviewed and picked up by leading

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It made us laugh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It gave us an intellectual tool to find hope
and to be gracious to the American Church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Food Stamp Entrepreneurs are those who after working many dead-end jobs
realize their only hope for middle-class viability is to start something.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are poor. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have no significant credit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have no significant savings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What they have is a good idea, initiative,
and hard work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They take in every
program they can find to get viable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They are fed by food stamps and food banks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They get medical care through Medicaid and
cheap clinics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They find programs to
help with utility bills, school expenses, and any other need they can imagine
or find.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then with the savings to their
limited budget by the programs they invest into their idea.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many Food Stamp Entrepreneurs are
immigrants.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As time goes along, they
have the typical immigrant success that outpaces the native-born
Americans.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everyone in the family pulls
together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The kids stay out of trouble.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The kids have success in most matters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their family stays strong and goes to
church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some of my successful immigrant
friends have been Food Stamp Entrepreneurs.</div>

Yes, we could try to keep working 3 to 4 dead end jobs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, we could keep hoping that some mythical
church or organization will rescue us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Yes, we could keep hoping that one of the mythical entities would see
the Diaspora we see and act.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, as
business writers tell us repeatedly, we must take in the reality and then find
hope.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our hope is in the Lord’s
return.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He uses the humble to prepare

Dear Family and Friends,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At the beginning of 2018 we entered into an exhausting
season.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we counted what we were
doing it was four distinct ministry jobs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>First, we were serving with East African Diaspora as missionaries to
America.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Second, we were house parents
for single mothers at Jubilee Village.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Third, we were attempting to start a new church called Nations’ Chapel
in Carol Stream, Illinois.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fourth, we
were interim pastoring at Lighthouse Fellowship in Huntley, Illinois.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our sleep was frequently interrupted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The cultural contexts of each required great
adaptation. It was difficult to culturally shift quickly from one to
another.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, each one represented an
area of the American experience for which we deeply loved and felt God had
called us to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, each one provided a
portion of the resources we needed to pay our family bills.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We needed God to do the sifting and get us
back on a Sabbath rhythm cared for by His providence.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

</span>We’ll share some more details in the next month as it gets even more
clear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, this month we want to
share the best news that has come.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
Lord gave us a break when our children and grandchildren needed attention.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">We’re now grandparents. </span>Our
oldest daughter, Sophia; and her husband, Matt Cardillo welcomed their
daughter, Peniel Angelica Cardillo into the world on Wednesday, July 18.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her name sounds like, “Penny L.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are calling her Penny for short.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her name comes from the story of Jacob
wrestling with God in Genesis 32.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After the wrestling Jacob (heel grabber) becomes Israel (struggled with
God.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The place where the wrestling match
happened is named Peniel (Face of God.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Israel declares, “<span class="text">For I have seen God face to face and
I have been delivered.”</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
When we see Penny, we see her move her hands in a thoughtful
way as Dave’s mom did.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is
attentive to make eye contact and will even look at books.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her mouth looks like Sophia’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The rest of her face looks like Matt minus
his beard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some remark that she looks like
Jana and ponders matters as Dave.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When we close our eyes, we see her.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Matt and Sophia have pushed against many presuppositions of
our American contemporary culture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Shortly after their wedding in July 2015 they moved to Rwanda as
missionaries serving at Kigali International Community School (KICS.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They didn’t seek to advance their career and
stability.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After two years they
returned to the USA.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They live in
Philadelphia near Matt’s family in New Jersey.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Matt drives a truck for Sysco and is preparing to take his MCAT.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They live simply.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sophia stayed home during her pregnancy in
preparation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are one of the first
of their peers to have children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
many ways, Matt and Sophia are living out old fashioned values of an American
experience generations before themselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As such they must wrestle with God and men.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Penny
shows the face of God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We trust that she
will be a blessed child who will bless many in return.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dave, Jana, and Timothy started traveling to Philadelphia as
Sophia went into labor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We arrived on
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Thursday, July 19 to see her. </span>We stayed
through the weekend and helped out the best we could.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We shopped for them, cooked, and gave a
break or two so Matt and Sophia could rest.</div>

While in Philadelphia we were able to on Saturday, July 21
visit our old missionary colleagues, Bryan and Holly Hixson, and their
daughter, Grace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Hixsons have
recently left Rwanda.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Holly is teaching
science at Cairn University (a Christian liberal arts school.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was so good to connect with them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We trust the students and faculty at Cairn
will be blessed by the Hixson’s presence.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
As the weekend closed Jana flew back to Chicago for our
Jubilee Village responsibilities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dave
and Timothy began driving.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Timothy had
his Paralympic Junior Nationals in Fort Wayne, Indiana from Wednesday, July 24
to Friday, July 27.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Unfortunately, all of the travel was very hard on
Timothy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His cerebral palsy affects
sensations and digestion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He has head
aches when he’s in the car.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He sleeps to
get through the pain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The travel made
eating on schedule difficult.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It also
made eating the right healthy combinations of food problematic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By the time we reached Fort Wayne the week
of travel had left Timothy quite sick.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Timothy was barely able to gather his strength for the long
jump on Wednesday, July 24.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All who
watched were shocked that a kid who was in so much pain gathered his available

won his classification among all competitors under the age of 23 at just the
age of 15.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is no doubt, God has

We were curious how he would do in the 200 meters on
Thursday and the 100 meters on Friday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His
previous times in those events were just fractions away from making the
“emerging” category in which he goes into the international data base.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, by Thursday the pain was too
much.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Timothy and Dave decided to call
it quits and returned home to Carol Stream.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Timothy spent about 5 days resting and recovering.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re now back to the routine of consistent
nutrition, exercise, and rest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We wait in hope for other opportunities.</div>

Having biological grandchildren has reminded us of our
spiritual grandchildren for which we are very thankful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God’s grace allowed us to initiate and
shepherd movements in Uganda and Rwanda.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Those movements now have people scattered throughout North America and
Europe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ve realized that as our
biological family is no longer in a single location, so our spiritual family
also is scattered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To be a good
grandparent we must structure our lives to live regionally and internationally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re pondering how that is the call of
God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please keep our family in your
prayers.</div>

We see that God has given us a treasure to steward on social

many friends and those who follow our postings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ve lived in diverse settings that very
quickly became quite intimate due to their intensity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Social media has given us a way to bring our
diverse worlds together in conversation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In many ways it has made us more authentic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For instance, we don’t have one missionary

have graduate degrees.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most are
believers in Jesus’ resurrection.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’d
guess that number is around 85%.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet,
there are some who don’t believe in Jesus’ resurrection.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some of them are followers of the Muslim

For some who follow me the conversations on social media are
an exposure to a world that is completely new.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The general tone will be thoughtful people
representing the Global Church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You’ll
notice we’re discussing frequently North America as a mission field.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At times that will be enticing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At times that will be offensive as you’ll
discover the Global Church’s appraisal of the North American Church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

intimacy and candor that is out of the ordinary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please take the time to listen well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Occasionally, we introduce people to one

In my home we deal daily with issues of race, immigration,
poverty, and disability.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just as you’ll
see photos of births, weddings, parties, athletic and academic accomplishments
you’ll read stories of us processing painful parts of the American
experience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You’ll notice we rarely have
the TV going at our kitchen table.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
tend to only have it on for sporting events and generally just turn it off when
the news and commentaries are on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You’ll notice lots of reading of newspapers, magazines, blogs, books,
and Bibles happen; and they get quoted frequently.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You’ll notice we read pretty diverse sources
and have few partisan affiliations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
may want to think of the conversations as ones you’d have in the morning in a
large extended family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some times the
conversations will be quite pointed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Yet, we’ll try our best to be kind and gracious.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

someone so it does happen but is rare.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You’ll get blocked if you try to manipulate the conversation to take
people’s money, or are unkind to children or parents.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Basically, you’re in the home of an old man
who still runs a few miles in the morning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I expect you to be good to your neighbors.</div>

Dear Family and Friends,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
We’ve heard two concerns expressed recently as those who are
close to us observe our ministry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkXt-6G9mQKVsDTGfekD0x6PdHs7iXfxPZGWsoKn_tYVTLMPKAnbPlyQ7WzppK6lrTZvEEtfi4Ns-rsUw2ZoC5XRByp8QVGZ2pJTSWcB_GeCjJTqtHjGA_UVOcGmDWeQmQI__AzKyn5H4Z/s1600/ruth+america.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="471" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkXt-6G9mQKVsDTGfekD0x6PdHs7iXfxPZGWsoKn_tYVTLMPKAnbPlyQ7WzppK6lrTZvEEtfi4Ns-rsUw2ZoC5XRByp8QVGZ2pJTSWcB_GeCjJTqtHjGA_UVOcGmDWeQmQI__AzKyn5H4Z/s320/ruth+america.jpg" width="209" /></a></div>
One
is, “If your work with the Diaspora is so important, why don’t the Diaspora
financially support it?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another
concern is “Your ministry looks so much like a church but doesn’t form like a
church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why?”<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In true missionary fashion let us tell some stories.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our family and ministry are supported by Diaspora in much
the same way that Diaspora support one another.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most African Diaspora who come to the United
States come along three paths.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some
come as refugees.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some come having won
a green card lottery (or diversity visa.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Some come as university students.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is very rare for them to enter the United States illegally. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>some get caught in an awkward moment when they
can’t keep up with documentation requirements.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>African Diaspora are one of the most
educated groups of immigrants in the USA.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Yet, they typically start as low income earners.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many times, you’ll even find a medical
doctor driving a cab or a lawyer working as a home health care aid.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Over time most reach middle class viability.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As they do that they send large amounts of
their income back to their home nation to do things such as build homes, start
businesses and schools, run scholarship programs, and care for sick relatives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The income they send home in many nations combines
to be the largest source of foreign income.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>While living in the USA many of them stay connected to other Diaspora
from their home nation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Though they may become middle class in America, with their
immense social responsibility they tend to not be large givers at local
churches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One area that they generally
do give graciously is to help fellow Diaspora grieve, celebrate, and make the
most of opportunities that the American experience presents.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For instance, if there is a death in the
community all rally to the grieving family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They are rarely alone for weeks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Food is brought to their home and house work done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In order, for the extended family of the
deceased to fully grieve they need to see the body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Funds are raised to return the body
home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Similarly, they will rally for a wedding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The expenses of a large function are met by
many bringing food and contributing financially.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You also see this sense of shared
generosity in the East African Harambee (pull together) culture. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When an opportunity arises that requires more
resources than an individual can muster the community throws a party, and
people contribute resources to overcome the obstacle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
As our family spent so many years serving with Africans we
many times contributed to the community needs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Then as we became more African in culture our relationships and

One way this happened was that as our kids graduated from
high school and began college we never had enough money saved to pay their
bills.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With each graduation we hosted
a graduation harambee party.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each time
we were surprised at the generosity of our community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We never took in enough to pay all the bills,
but our community “gave us a push” to get through the first year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With just a little push each child found a
way to keep at it until they graduated. <span class="MsoCommentReference"><span style="font-size: 8.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><a class="msocomanchor" href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6238760955345954700#_msocom_1" id="_anchor_1" name="_msoanchor_1"></a><span style="mso-special-character: comment;"></span></span></span>

This year; our daughter, Ruth graduated from high
school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was accepted to Judson
University in Elgin, Illinois.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Judson
is a small Christian liberal arts university with an exceptional photography
program.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The total yearly cost is
about $42,000.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ruth through
scholarships, grants, and loans had assembled about $34,000. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thus, we need to discover about $8,000 more
to pay for Ruth’s first year at Judson.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Ruth is working two jobs this summer to put together more resources
(usually about 55 hours per week as a lead janitor at Wheaton College and sales
representative at Furry Babies.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

We hosted a harambee graduation party for Ruth on June 23. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dave, Caleb, and Ethan grilled a goat and
200 chicken legs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>About 80 friends
attended.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Acholi dancers from northern
Uganda / southern Sudan performed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Several of us made speeches to bless Ruth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We prayed for her future.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the end of the harambee our community
had raised over $2,600 to get Ruth started at her university this fall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(If you would like to also contribute to

The majority of those who contributed and attended were

them remarked that though the function was not a church it shared many church

You see in our African Diaspora communities our Christian
faith is very vibrant and part of life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Its’ very rare to gather and not have conversations shaped by God’s
Word.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s very rare to gather and not
pray for God’s guidance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s very rare
to gather and not praise God for His goodness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It’s very rare to gather and not try to help one another.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These are the intuitive traits of our
Diaspora communities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You see them when
we gather in secular community organizations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You see them as we visit in one anothers' homes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You’ll even see them as we gather in
cookouts and soccer games through the summer.</div>

Yes, our gatherings look much like a church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, we’ve found it is almost impossible to
get our <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">gatherings into a church like weekly rhythms. </span>Our community is too spread out
geographically to all be together weekly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, the nature of our living
and work keeps us busy and scattered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We’re students.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of us are
working 2 to 4 jobs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We never quite
know what will arise in a week’s time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We can come late and stay long for events of great importance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, to get us all together for only a
little over an hour weekly is almost impossible.</div>

Post-Christian nation our ministry agenda must be to primarily provide pastoral
care for African immigrants so that they can well adjust and serve as humble
missionaries to America.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We thank you

Dear Family and Friends,</div>

We’re convinced God’s Word teaches that those who lead God’s
people must first lead their families well (1Timothy 3:1-13; Titus 1:6.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We saw it repeatedly during our postings in
Africa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many times, there would be a temptation
to “do the real work of ministry.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet,
if we prioritized the needs of our children, God used that to position us to
meet the needs of other families.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our most effective ministry activities were
always rooted in family health.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another matter we are convinced of is that there
can be very long seasons of trial, error, and waiting before God’s full intent
is disclosed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Our adaptation to America has gone slow. Yet we are
convinced it is of God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In this newsletter
we want to catch you up on our son, Timothy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The last two years have been one of both great challenge and discovery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Much of it has to do with Timothy becoming
a teenager and with that increasing his awareness and communication
skills.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

For most of Timothy’s life we have described him “as having
a minor case of cerebral palsy.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had little use of his right hand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His right leg was a bit smaller than the
left.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, he has always been very
athletic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many times, people describe
him as “inspirational.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

remarked, “I didn’t know there were minor cases of cerebral palsy.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was right.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ve had a couple years in which we
continue to discover that Timothy’s cerebral palsy is very complicated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There have been many discoveries and ups and
downs.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
In February 2016 Timothy had surgery which lengthened
tendons in his right forearm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With the
lengthening of tendons and different type braces Timothy gained the ability to
grasp on his right hand. He learned to ride a bike. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For years we had noticed that Timothy’s sensations were
different than others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He could go long
times without food, exercise without rest, and stay outside with few clothes in
the cold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some would see him as “being tough.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, we increasingly realized his different
sensation perceptions made it difficult to stay on track with nutrition and
rest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He also struggled with digestion and respiratory
infections.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His pediatrician, Dr. Akin
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(/<a href="https://balanceweightcenter.com/" target="_blank">https://balanceweightcenter.com</a>) thought
that the hemiplegia (diminished use of right side) was internal as well as
external.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His right lung was not as
efficient as his left.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She saw beginning
signs of scoliosis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We suspected that
the under utilization of his right side was creating imbalance.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Last year, we cautiously began 9<sup>th</sup> grade.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It didn’t go very well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Timothy kept getting sick with respiratory
infections.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He struggled to keep up
academically with math and science.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
also finally told us that he was in pain sitting in school desks within 15 minutes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It all made sense to us as his cerebral
palsy causes muscle spasms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sitting for
hours was the worst thing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After
several months, we realized we couldn’t make public high school workable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We withdrew Timothy and began home
schooling.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yet, home school has been a struggle to have social
connections and stay on task. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also, Timothy’s athleticism struggled.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With his rapid growth and muscle tensions he
frequently had pain in his shins, knees, and heels.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we tried travel soccer teams the
practices were too intense and didn’t give him time to rest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

in his right chest, shoulders, and back while <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">not firing in his right
hand. </span>He and Timothy started going to
the local weight room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dave started
having Timothy use weight lifting straps like power lifters use for dead lifts
to get grips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then he started looking
on line and found the Active Hand gripping aid out of the United Kingdom (/<a href="https://www.activehands.com/" target="_blank">https://www.activehands.com</a>.) It was a
game changer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With reading and
following intuition we found a path forward.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Dave and Timothy did big lifts like squats, dead lifts, presses, and
rows plus body weight exercises like dips, pushups, and pull ups.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes they used a smith machine when
Timothy couldn’t balance weights.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
also bought neutral grip free weight bars that were easier for Timothy to
grip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the last year Timothy has
gained 26 pounds of muscle weight, can now do 13 pull ups (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhHPFHJBUjY" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhHPFHJBUjY</a>,)
balanced out the muscle and bone structure in his rib cage, and his pediatrician
now sees negligible differences in efficiency between his right and left lung.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also,
the routine and discovery got Timothy on a journey of nutrition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He became extremely disciplined with supplements
and meal plans.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(Thank you Dr. Miravone
Dorough at <a href="https://www.drmiravone.com/" target="_blank">https://www.drmiravone.com/</a>
.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is not sick as often.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His spirits are more optimistic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As we were removing Timothy from public school and pondering
where to connect, Dave read an article in the <u>Chicago Tribune</u> about a
lawsuit to create opportunities for disabled students to compete in the
Illinois High School Athletics (<a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/evanston/news/ct-met-evanston-disabled-athlete-lawsuit-20171102-story.html." target="_blank">http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/evanston/news/ct-met-evanston-disabled-athlete-lawsuit-20171102-story.html .</a>)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dave had never heard of ambulatory or Paralympic
sports for athletes with cerebral palsy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He started googling, emailing, and making phone calls.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the first time in 15 years we started
finding other families and young people whose journey was like our own.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
In the process Timothy was asked to go to San Diego for a
development camp with the USA National Paralympic Soccer team for a week in
December at the Olympic training facility (<a href="https://www.ussoccer.com/stories/2017/12/07/23/05/20171206-news-pnt-domestic-camp-roster-release" target="_blank">https://www.ussoccer.com/stories/2017/12/07/23/05/20171206-news-pnt-domestic-camp-roster-release</a>.)
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Upon return to Chicago land Timothy began running track for Great
Lakes Adaptive Sports Association (GLASA) (<a href="http://www.glasa.org/" target="_blank">http://www.glasa.org/</a>.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So far, he’s ran 2 meets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He’s won his classification and age in the
100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, and long jump.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His times in the 100 and 200 meters are fractions
away from becoming “emerging” in which he’ll qualify to try out for the USA
National Paralympic Track Team.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His
long jump is also just inches away form “emerging.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Timothy will run in the USA Junior National
Paralympic Track Meet in Fort Wayne from July 25 to 27.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re all curious as to how he will do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A huge benefit of these discoveries is that we’ve met other
parents who share a similar journey.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In that process we’ve discovered that much of Timothy’s academic
struggles were related to his cerebral palsy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Again, we heard counsel and started making phone calls.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It took us a couple months, but we were able
to get neuro-psychological testing at the Fran Center (<a href="http://www.francenter.com/" target="_blank">http://www.francenter.com/</a>.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Timothy has been diagnosed with dyscalculia
(a math learning disability.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Much of
Timothy’s struggle academically is related to having limited use of his right
side.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With that it is difficult to conceptualize
space as others do and math is a struggle. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We are now in the process of re-enrolling Timothy in public
schools and advocating for him to get special accommodations and classes. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>We’re thankful to have diagnoses and good
counsel from others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We really don’t
know where this will go.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, we’ve
never known a braver and more determined young man than Timothy. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We do see this all as a God journey.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts and
prayers.</div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">A Harambee is an East African
tradition of a community pulling together in a party with a purpose to turn
what some would consider a crisis into an opportunity. Harambees
are probably most frequently held in Kenya though they represent the deep sense
of community that characterizes African culture.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The Harambee tradition largely goes
back to the early days of Kenya’s independence. Prior to
independence from the United Kingdom Kenya was experiencing the violent Mau Mau
crisis. Fear reigned. Mzee (wise elder statesman) Jomo
Kenyatta was imprisoned, but released shortly before independence.</span></div>

Kenyatta brought immediate calm from the Mau Mau crisis, healed wounds, and
gathered the humble to build. His message was Harambee <u><span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,875094,00.html">(http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,875094,00.html</a></span></u>.).
We must organize together. Kenyatta was aware of his own failings, but
confident in the strength of his united people. He said, "There is no
society of angels, black, brown or white. We are human beings and as such we
are bound to make mistakes. If I have done a mistake to you, it is for you to
forgive me. If you have done a mistake to me, it is for me to forgive
you." </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">As a community faced a challenge
that required capital he made a donation and asked for others to join in
sharing their resources. With Kenyatta’s Harambee culture schools, hospitals,
and infrastructure were developed. Among the humble Harambee economics provided
realistic hope. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Our
daughter, Mary Ruth Mirembe Jenkins graduated from high school and plans to go
to Judson University in Elgin, Illinois. Judson is Christian
liberal arts university. One of Judson's academic strengths is her
photography and communications programs. Those of you who spend
time with Ruthie know these too are her strengths. Through
scholarships, grants, and student loans Ruth has put together close to $33,900
of the $41,900 of estimated yearly costs (tuition, books, room and
board.) Ruth is also working 2 jobs this summer to raise more money
(group leader for a janitorial crew at Wheaton College and a sales
representative for Furry Babies.) She is working between 50 and 60
hours each week this summer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We hope to
raise $8,000 at her Harambe party on Saturday, June 23. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I think there is a tremendous
Biblical base for the Harambee culture. One of the first ones to
come to mind is the Year of Jubilee in Leviticus 25. Most of us
are too cowardly to embrace the implications, but they are still very relevant.
Sometimes the only way we can get our messed up world straight is to use
the strength of our community and her institutions to practice grace and
compassion (One of my most read blogs discusses this at <b> </b> <u><span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://jenkinsinrwanda.blogspot.com/2011/03/audacious-forgiveness-must-be.html">http://jenkinsinrwanda.blogspot.com/2011/03/audacious-forgiveness-must-be.html</a></span></u>.)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Besides the Old Testament
Jubilee teaching there is New Testament teaching of the early church sharing
their possessions so that there were no unmet needs in the community (Acts
2:42-47; 4:32-36,) and of master missionary Paul taking a collection among
Diaspora Christians to be used to care for the poor in Jerusalem (2 Corinthians
8-9.)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These are missionary texts.
When Diaspora come to America one thing we frequently notice is how prevalent
syncretism is in North American Christianity. Individualism
and materialism mingle so freely in North American Christian thought that many
are unable to recognize raw paganism masquerading as Christianity.
Yet, instead of having escalating confrontation why not graciously practice
Harambee that teaches and lives out the reality that Christianity is a religion
based upon trust in an unseen God's care lived out in community. </span></div>

the best of God’s intent wrestles with human depravity. Sadly, there have
been times when the Harambee tradition has been corrupted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At times morally bankrupt politicians have

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The worst desecration of our

image. We all by simply being human have Agaciro (Kinyarwanda for dignity.)
Harambee is a way to display that though an individual may be at loss together
we can overcome. Our children can have hope. One way we
display this divine dignity is to come together as a community to overcome all

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Yes, we’ve hosted three Harambes.
First, when our oldest daughter, Sophia was accepted to Wheaton College in 2011
we applied for all the financial aid we could and still were about $22,000
short. We hosted a Harambee in Rwanda. Our Rwandan
community raised $5,300. Others in the USA made some
contributions. We barely had enough, but with Harambee Sophia got
through her first semester at Wheaton. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">We didn’t know what would happen her
second semester, and then we got a surprise. Sophia received an
unexpected grant, and her college bill was paid. Our African friends were
confident that a Harambee was a step of communal proactive faith that God would
honor. They were right. (To read more about Sophia's Harambee

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Second, when our son, Caleb was
also accepted to Wheaton College. The anticipated total cost
was $42,390 in 2013-2014. Caleb has done well with scholarships and
only lacked $5,600 to pay for his freshman year. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The gifts the Lord abundantly gave
us in Africa were friends and experiences. Yet, we had no savings
or property. We threw a Harambee to give Caleb a blessing and a
push. Our community raised over $1,000 and the push got Caleb
moving to get through his next two years. </span></div>

son, Ethan begin at Wheaton College in January, 2015.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our community raised over $2,600 of the needed
$2,993 to get Ethan through his first semester at Wheaton College.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some other gifts came in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ethan shoveled snow and worked in a small

There are some tough questions that people of faith in our contemporary times must wrestle. Here are two that boggle my mind:<br />
<br />
1. How did America become a Post-Christian nation?<br />
<br />
2. Why are some neighborhoods and suburbs in America's global cities described by the secular media as church deserts?<br />
<br />
There are probably at least 30 good answers to these questions. The questions are complex. Here is one answer. Many church planting organizations in North America practice incest. As a consequence over generations the health of the church planting organizations are on a rapid and steep decline.<br />
<br />
Now these organizations have clear rules about relationships. No one is marrying their siblings. Yet most also have a clear social expectation that they express through tribalism. That social expectation is actually just the raw prejudice of denominational protectionism. It usually is expressed when a newbie tries to cross the unwritten social taboos of the organization. The newbie is told, "We're a tribe. You can only be part of one tribe." (The "tribe" refers to the denomination. The translation is you have to choose a denomination and only give certain intimacies and loyalties to that denomination."<br />
<br />
Then the tribe is described. The one giving the illustration many times is native born European-American denominational administrator. The one receiving the tribal instructions many times is a Diaspora from the Global South. Many from the Global South come from communal or clan based societies. As he listens to the description of tribe he hears not discussion of tribe but a description of clan or extended family. What the administrator is communicating is you and your family must marry only your cousins if you want to be part of our church planting organization. <br />
<br />
For those not familiar with the the distinctions between nation, tribe, and clan let me elaborate.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
A nation is a political state. It has clear boundaries that usually require documentation to cross. It has a clear government structure. It has laws. It collects taxes. It goes to war. It negotiates peace.<br />
<br />
A tribe is an ethnic grouping. It usually shares a common land. It shares a common language and culture. Many times it has a common purpose. Some nations have many tribes within them and sometimes the nation has a common expectation for the behavior and attitudes of a specific tribe. <br />
<br />
A clan is a large extended family. It shares great nuances and history. It is the points where one gathers to grief and celebrate. It is the social substance of birth, marriage, and death. It is the social substance of graduations. It has traditions. It many times has an economic function of small family run business. <br />
<br />
For many church planting missionaries when one takes the groupings of nation, tribe, and clan there are distinct expectations.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDD0tUcw1FWizx1XT8V6B2BFJcf2xylVadIpoIN4DKdrtqCGlpTkshDlzD5y8JYQR019Qq8sAh5T6ooisKSujzC9oZU5zND23ViXtn3by8eLrQr6SYF7E3eLF9BDruGmdYZuiMcrFlNz6N/s1600/africa+jesus+great+commission.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDD0tUcw1FWizx1XT8V6B2BFJcf2xylVadIpoIN4DKdrtqCGlpTkshDlzD5y8JYQR019Qq8sAh5T6ooisKSujzC9oZU5zND23ViXtn3by8eLrQr6SYF7E3eLF9BDruGmdYZuiMcrFlNz6N/s320/africa+jesus+great+commission.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Our Lord called us to His Kingdom. Our national passports are only temporary documents. We dare not pledge an eternal allegiance to a temporary nation-state. For church planting missionary types our nation is our Kingdom. Our Lord is our King. We follow His commands and learn them through the teaching in His Word enhanced by the whispers of His Spirit. At times we are on a journey that is like war. Yet, we pray for peace and do all we can to be at peace with all.<br />
<br />
Tribe is the place where we feel at home yet not quite in the intimacies of our clan. A denomination makes almost no sense as a tribe. A denomination as a tribe is too big numerically but too small in purpose for us. The kingdom tells us missionary church planter to go. We are the scouts and soldiers of an expanding Kingdom. We missionary church planters are our own tribe. We get one another outside of the boundaries of denominational loyalty. We speak a common language of expansion while giggling at our failings. <br />
<br />
Within clan is our denomination. Here is the nuance that most outsider can't easily get. It is the point where we gather in grief and celebration. Within our clans we solemnize birth, marriage, and death. We have our traditions within our clans. If we're going to start a family run business we'll turn to our clan mates first. Yet, when our business needs to become global we'll look for our tribe mates.<br />
<br />
Why has America become a Post-Christian nation? Why do our American global cities have such large church deserts?<br />
<br />
Of the many valid answers church planting incest is one. Many North American church planting organizations are too denominationally loyal to allow the different church planting clans to intermarry. <br />
<br />
Allow me to poke fun at a fellow church planting missionary friend. Many years ago, he served in a <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO2O2hjnFw9lIER0DkSAZLzDQ9cF06jM2ADRDM8pgcR__AUXXAslMcfGanGoCjeeGfo3DjnPHisV_KCbNcDfysoj69UBGnDuQoiyUy70-aUEaglYJB7AiuzauAUF1jnFQAhzEuA0Y8Abqq/s1600/german+shepherd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO2O2hjnFw9lIER0DkSAZLzDQ9cF06jM2ADRDM8pgcR__AUXXAslMcfGanGoCjeeGfo3DjnPHisV_KCbNcDfysoj69UBGnDuQoiyUy70-aUEaglYJB7AiuzauAUF1jnFQAhzEuA0Y8Abqq/s320/german+shepherd.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
nation where security was a concern. He bought a sibling pair of beautiful German Shepherds. The were strong and fit. They were both kind and protective. They inspired awe as they moved around the edges of our church planter's home compound. My church planting missionary friend had an idea. Why should he neuter or spay this fine pair of siblings? If he let them reproduce he could sell the puppies for profit and put the profits back into his church plant. Or in his most benevolent moments he could give away the puppies and improve the security of his neighborhood.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7YHdg_ccpRqKfmMvWOQCsL95WruAs3pNkfl9LcC3UG-abTdrLnfXJQpeNgEC0baWGG-l-Cl9CTWphD2BbMEQFryzVzrAbru6_VqRniEHTbeGg_-NSwoh0jjpdtui-LtzYTOOLe27kc-av/s1600/mangy+dog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="248" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7YHdg_ccpRqKfmMvWOQCsL95WruAs3pNkfl9LcC3UG-abTdrLnfXJQpeNgEC0baWGG-l-Cl9CTWphD2BbMEQFryzVzrAbru6_VqRniEHTbeGg_-NSwoh0jjpdtui-LtzYTOOLe27kc-av/s320/mangy+dog.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
His incestuous puppy business began and at the first generation things just didn't seem quite right. The puppies were a bit smaller and not quite as bright as their parents. Yet, maybe the issue was nutrition or just bad luck? He let the experiment go on. It didn't get any better. He let it continue and it got much worse. With each generation the dogs became smaller, weaker, dumber, and many times meaner. They never inspired awe. Finally, he had a home full of sick and mangy animals. The only solution was euthanizing the lot. <br />
<br />
If you closely watch church planting organizations that are struggling you'll notice quite a similar pattern to my friend's puppy business. The founders are awe inspiring. Then health declines in each generation. There is little new blood. The conversations go in circles. The foundation relationships have become incestuous. When the organization is in trouble it looks for a super star celebrity (that looks like a pure bred and expensive dog.)<br />
<br />
True, if you look you can find well bred, handsome, and productive dogs with pedigrees.<br />
<br />
However, you don't often find good church planters that look like pedigree dogs. <br />
<br />
Instead, most good church planters look like mixed breed farm dog. They have features from several lots. They can <br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKd0ih-x7_kxnGJLGqVz7T2_Z6YP2t7p0JPsrbaQEyqCDiqgY9n8bqAXkhpkx41wMcbu8u4pAiQfvC-6Ih-aubcgBfCqHT-neyfLlEyLmXWGUum5xASUJl-SdoN7d382zl7DsGhNXZrfVs/s1600/loki+little+kid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKd0ih-x7_kxnGJLGqVz7T2_Z6YP2t7p0JPsrbaQEyqCDiqgY9n8bqAXkhpkx41wMcbu8u4pAiQfvC-6Ih-aubcgBfCqHT-neyfLlEyLmXWGUum5xASUJl-SdoN7d382zl7DsGhNXZrfVs/s320/loki+little+kid.jpg" width="320" /></a>guard, hunt, and herd. When they are described in detail they phrase most say is, "They're good kid dogs." Day and in and day out you find these dogs with children. They intuitively follow the relationships. They intuitively make the most out of the relationships. Everything else of hunting, herding, and guarding is just the gravy of their life. We need church planters with diverse gifts and backgrounds who just intuitively follow and enhance the relationships of their communities. <br />
<br />
In a post-Christian nation no clan has the strength or wisdom to go it alone. No clan can adequately address the church deserts of North America global cities. There are strengths to each clan that must be brought to bear. When that happens there will be sharing of ideas, personnel, institutional capacity, and even financial resources. The church planting tribe must expand the Kingdom.<br />
<br />
Incest among single clans can no longer be our mantra. So help us God. <br />
