What if one simple course could ignite a deeper passion for global missions across your entire diocese? Discover how the Anglican Introduction to Missions course (AIM) can be used not only in person but as a Zoom-based initiative to help Anglicans see the bigger picture of God’s work among the unreached.

What causes people who have known the power and presence of the living God to stop following Him?

According to Moses, it begins with complacency…when God’s people forget to honour Him as the Father who lovingly formed and watched over them and instead relegate the Almighty Creator and Saviour to the sidelines of their lives.

That is not only ancient Israel’s story; it is Europe’s story. Once the cradle of the Reformation, Europe is now a mission field. The Netherlands, where Louise and I serve, is a vivid example of what happens when nations that once knew God slowly forget Him.

We Love Kids began in 2003 as we realized that the children we were investing in, in Vietnam and Cambodia, would not be able to flourish throughout their lives without access to a genuine education. We are a registered non-profit charity based in the United States which aids children in Vietnam and Cambodia with educational scholarships, and supplemental assistance (bicycles, rice, clothing and medication) with the goal of preventing human trafficking and ending the cycle of endemic poverty.

At the Church’s Ministry Among Jewish People (CMJ USA), our mission has always been to help the Church understand its Jewish roots and to love the Jewish people around us with the love of the Messiah.

We remember that the Last Supper—the very foundation of our Communion—was a Passover Seder. To love Jesus is to love the people through which the Messiah was given to the world. Our "freedom in the Messiah" is not a replacement for the Jewish story; it is a profound extension of it.

Right now, antisemitism continues rise beyond what was already an all-time high., and it is reshaping the daily lives of Jewish Americans. According to the American Jewish Committee (AJC) State of Antisemitism in America 2025 Report, an overwhelming 91% of American Jews now feel less safe in the U.S. following high-profile violent attacks over the past year.

When I first arrived in Southeast Asia, I longed for connection—someone who understood not just my language, but me. God answered that prayer through an unexpected friendship with my coworker Asma, a refugee from Myanmar. What began as shared conversations about culture and life soon deepened into honest discussions about faith, as we began reading the Bible and the Qur’an together, exploring stories of prophets like Adam, Noah, and Moses. Along the way, I’ve been challenged by her perspective, humbled by our differences, and reminded of God’s holiness, mercy, and pursuit of humanity. This journey has become more than a friendship—it is a prayerful hope that, through curiosity and trust, she might one day come to know Jesus more fully.

The Gulf Atlantic Diocese is cultivating new pathways for global mission—connecting parishes, deepening partnerships, and exploring shared opportunities across the Anglican Communion. Discover how collaboration, vision, and small beginnings are opening doors for greater Kingdom impact.

I got to see what most people never see: Transformation That Multiplies— Timothy, orphaned at age six, is now a Coordinator in a Father’s Family program at another church in the diocese. He is strengthening families so the children in those families are not orphaned as he once was. In other communities, we see these families become role models, informal marriage counselors, and trusted advisors on how to save, invest, and build healthy families.

This is how transformation happens. It is not quick or always visible—but over time, it multiplies.

You may know by now that the Anglican Persecuted Church Network and the Anglican Freedom Network are planning a regional conference on global Christian persecution and human trafficking in September. I hope you will consider coming to this important conference at All Saints Anglican Church, Woodbridge, Virginia!

In my capacity as Dean of Nashotah House, I have the joy of watching the full life cycle of our students’ formation for lives of ministry.…

Each year, when preparations for Easter begin, I find myself feeling a mix of great joy and great sorrow. The Easter season is of course a time of great celebration for Christians, where we rejoice in the completed work of Christ through his resurrection. For me, it is also a time when I remember the loss and sacrifice of some of those brothers in Christ who came before me.

A couple of decades ago, God gave the Reverend John Chol Daau a vision to take back his country, South Sudan, for Jesus. He would do this through Christian education, peace building and reconciliation. Now, John’s vision has become a reality in the form of Good Shepherd Academy and Seminary.…

There has been on-going joint mission activity between the Diocese of Cascadia (Washington, Oregon and Alaska) and the Anglican Province of Myanmar for several years.  Cascadia has sent missions in the past to the dioceses of Yangon and Pyay in Myanmar, and Myanmar has sent some of their bishops to minister in Cascadia.  Unfortunately, this people exchange is currently curtailed due to the civil war in Myanmar.

On a diocesan level, the Dioceses of Cascadia, Yangon, and Pyay are companion dioceses.  Cascadia contributed funds to assist in the building of the new Pyay diocesan office building.  A delegation from Cascadia planned on attending the dedication of the diocesan office building in December 2025 but were asked by the officials in Pyay not to attend due to the civil war.  We look forward to the day when the civil war in Myanmar is over and the country opens again to in person mission activity. We have many friends in Myanmar.

Anglican Introductions to Missions 2.0 is now available! We’re grateful that the Lord has been using an Anglican Introduction to Missions (AIM) curriculum  to spur both prayer for the nations and a passion for missions among those who participate in the course.  The curriculum has been instrumental in the sending of workers to the field in addition to opening the eyes of many in our congregations to the remaining task of global evangelization among the least reached people groups of the world. This curriculum, introduced at Provincial Assembly 2024, has been bearing fruit in churches and dioceses across the Province and is now available on Amazon as an updated second edition.

Join New Wineskins Networks: Anglican Persecuted Church and Anglican Freedom Network at the Breaking the Chains: Responding to Persecution and Human Trafficking at All Saints Anglican in Woodbridge, Virginia – September 18-19, 2026. We will worship, pray, advocate, and hear from experts in the field who will help each of us strategize on what role we can play. 

Last October I got a phone call from Fr. Keith Hartsell, a priest from Grace Anglican Church, Oceanside, California, who said that he was bringing a group of teenagers to Washington, D.C. to attend the March for Life events. He wanted information about the Life Forum that we were hosting and wondered if his group was welcome. Obviously, I said YES!

At Niños con Valor, our ministry is about more than just providing a safe home for children. It’s about providing an opportunity for children to experience God’s grace and reclaim a sense of value. We specifically specialize in supporting children with complex medical needs and disabilities—little ones who have been neglected or rejected because their care is seen as too difficult or expensive. We believe these children deserve to know they are loved, and they deserve a second chance after the hardships of abuse, neglect and abandonment early in their life.

When seven year old Aisha walks through her village in northern Tanzania, people often stop what they are doing to look at her. Some whisper quietly to one another. Others point as she passes.

Aisha has learned to keep walking.

Aisha was born with albinism, a genetically inherited condition that affects the body’s production of pigment in the skin, eyes, and hair. In Tanzania, approximately one in every 1,400 children is born with albinism, one of the highest rates in the world. We stand firm in our belief that everyone, including people with albinism, is created with intention and purpose by God, and is worthy of dignity and respect.

Sadly, many disagree.

Using your influence to fight human trafficking is to leverage all forms of media to advocate and educate your followers. There are a variety of faith-based organizations creating and sharing content, and by simply engaging with this content, you are providing the creators with support. By sharing their content, you allow many more people to see each post, podcast, article, short video clip, or book review. This kind of content activates people to take small actions that could lead to big changes in the future.

The kingdom of God is a great harvest, and through the Society of Anglican Missionaries and Senders (SAMS), believers are invited to join in their global work. SAMS supports and sends missionaries to share the Gospel across cultures and contexts. Together with global church leaders, missionaries serve as co-laborers, strengthened through shared wisdom and purpose. As the harvest remains plentiful, SAMS calls the Church to pray for and raise up new workers to bring the hope of Christ to every nation.

Last week, I was blessed by a visit at our Five Talents office from Archbishop Abraham Yel Nhial. We discussed various ministry projects and areas of collaboration in South Sudan where Five Talents partners with the church in microenterprise development. It was both an inspiring and sobering discussion.

His words cause me to reflect on this Lenten season in preparation of Easter. The Gospels tell us that women were the last to stay at the cross in Christ’s deepest anguish and the first to arrive at the tomb, bearing witness to His resurrection. In these most fragile moments, when hope seemed lost women showed up.
