Check out our snazzy profile. We've begun a partnership through a great organization called Modern Day Missions .  Their calling: to send laborers to the field, streamlining the administrative side of things (which some of us spend 2-3x the amount of time working on because it's not totally  our gifting, when we have to...some of us...)  Modern day creates an easy avenue for giving, their interface is simple, secure and straight-forward.   Go check out our profile here.   If you'd like more information about the work we do, just email me so we can setup a phone/in-person meeting - I'd enjoy the opportunity to share with you the work in prayer meetings and adoption support we've been doing. For those of you who are monthly partners, our monthly newsletter (Aug/July-in-review) will be out shortly.  Thanks so much for your generosity and faithfulness!  We're sustained in our efforts to equip the Church of Cincinnati to pray and adopt th...

I received this email this morning. I decided not to e-bomb everyone with it, as it is against my personal email convictions. "After being interviewed by the school administration, the prospective teacher said: 'Let me see if I've got this right: 'You want me to go into that room with all those kids, correct their disruptive behavior, observe them for signs of abuse, monitor their dress habits, censor their T-shirt messages, and instill in them a love for learning. 'You want me to check their backpacks for weapons, wage war on drugs and sexually transmitted diseases, and raise their sense of self esteem and personal pride. 'You want me to teach them patriotism and good citizenship, sportsmanship and fair play, and how to register to vote, balance a checkbook, and apply for a job. [:D] 'You want me to check their heads for lice, recognize signs of antisocial behavior, and make sure that they all pass the final exams. 'You also want me to provide...
