Refugees in a Foreign Land

I’m a pastor and missions strategist — most of my working life has been spent somewhere between the pulpit and the airport. I’ve led congregations, rebuilt ministries that were struggling, and helped build partnerships and mission work across fifteen countries and five continents.

This blog is the place where those two worlds — the local church and the global road — finally get to talk to each other.

My background spans pastoral ministry, global missions, discipleship, church planting, and partnership development, including serving as a regional missional strategist and leading multiethnic congregations. I’ve managed the unglamorous parts of ministry too — budgets, training, restructuring — because I’ve come to believe that’s rarely separate from the spiritual work. It usually is the spiritual work, just wearing a spreadsheet.

I write here because sermons and reports rarely leave room for the in-between — the jet-lagged prayers, the slow rebuilding, the quiet conviction that kept me going before I could explain it to anyone else. If any of it is useful to you, I’m glad you’re here.
