As the end of the year approaches, if you are looking for some avenues for your year-end giving, Bridget and I wanted to invite you to consider making a donation to ServLife. I have been on staff with ServLife for almost 3 years, and it is a great organization that is doing some amazing work around the world.

Bridget and I are setting a goal to raise $500 by the year’s end. You can make a donation through our fund raising page. Thank you in advance for your help and considering making a donation to this cause.

Your support serves the mission of ServLife to restore hope to children and the global poor through:

• Training Indigenous Leaders to share Christ and start churches
• Rescuing and Caring for Children at Risk through orphanages and sponsorships
• Starting Small businesses among the poor

I work for ServLife International, a global missions organization, and I wanted to share some blogs of some of our staff members that are very well done and fascinating to follow.

• Joel Vestal- ServLife President and founder. Joel is my boss and he is the founder of ServLife, which he began 15 years ago while a student at Baylor. He has since traveled to over 70 countries, has helped start ministries all over the world, he’s a big reader and always has interesting and challenging things to share, he preaches all over the U.S., has written a book published by NavPress, Dangerous Faith, and always has posts documenting his travels.

• Steven and Amy Nicholson – The Nicholsons are based in South Africa and also have ongoing ministries in Zimbabwe, Uganda, and Sudan. They recently have adopted a new son! Really sharp couple that have been in South Africa now for 3 years. This is a very good blog and Steven has some great content. Be sure to read about his travels to Zimbabwe.

• Mark and Jenn Storm – Another sharp couple, living in Asia. Mark and Jenn have been with ServLife for over two years and have a beautiful son, Solomon, who was born right around the time Ethan was.  Another really great blog with tales of adventure, from tomato strikes, to motorcycle rides in rural Nepal, to monkey sightings, and more..

I recently returned from a mission trip to India and Nepal with a team from our church. We went on the trip with ServLife International (the mission organization I work for) We traveled to ServLife’s ministry campus In Bihar, India to help with the annual leadership conference that takes place there and to provide spiritual, administrative, and logistical support to the ServLife team and children’s orphanage there. We also spent a few days in Nepal on the way back and got to see some of ServLife’s ministries there as well. I will be posting more pics. and video from the trip in future posts.

I wanted to share this little clip I recorded in a music shop in Kathmandu, Nepal, of the owner playing a setup with tabla and madal drums. Pretty cool… (Found this site where you can play tablas online, give it a go)

I posted a video from my trip to Bihar, India, a while back, from this past November (Walking through Bihar) and have finally got around to narrowing down some pics to share. I have also put together a low and high resolution video slideshow with some background audio by Ravi Shankar. Enjoy!

This past November, I had the opportunity to travel to India with a team from our church to help out at a pastor’s conference and also work with orphans there. I’m still narrowing down pics and video from the trip and will post more, but wanted to share a 5 min. clip of a walk through downtown where we were, to get a glimpse of what it was like.
