Boston Baptist College Adventure

Heading to the frozen tundra of Boston for this warm-blooded island dweller is always a challenge. One – its cold. Did I say cold? Wait – let me add an adjective - freezing cold. Second - How do you keep 31 inquiring minds from all over the globe engaged in a Philosophy of missions class for 5 hours a day – two weeks running? Well, keep it simple, fun and pump in huge doses of faith. After all when good effective ministry that lasts is done on the mission field it is always accompanied by extreme faith. What an honor to share and challenge students with every inspired missiological nugget I could gather. It’s a sacred trust and I pray I can see them again down this road called ministry. C.T. Studd said "Some want to live within the sound of chapel bells but that he’d rather run a rescue mission within a yard of hell." I feel some of these students have the same desire and I have high expectations for each one of them.
