the road less traveled


In this first post, I simply want to give glory to God. Almost 13 years ago, He redeemed me and brought me in into an intimate relationship with Him through Christ. Nearly 6 years ago, He led me out of a secular job and into full time vocational ministry. And this year, He has blessed my family and me with the opportunity to be a part of what He is doing globally through e3 Partners (www.e3partners.org).

I think for many believers, the path of global missions is the "road less traveled" for many different reasons. It may not be what God has called everyone to do, but I do believe that He has called far more than those who are actually going. My prayer is that this blog may give you a glimpse of what God is doing around the world for His honor and glory. I also pray that God will lead more of His children to take this "road less traveled," whether on a short-term trip or on a long-term basis, so that people from every tribe, tongue, and nation will be able to experience a relationship with God and begin a journey down the Highway of Holiness.

And a highway shall be there, and it shall be called the Way of Holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it. It shall belong to those who walk on the way; even if they are fools, they shall not go astray. No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast come up on it; they shall not be found there, but the redeemed shall walk there. And the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with singing; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. - Is. 35:8-10
