EPIC International is the mission agency that facilitates our alliance of churches working with Ks who speak B_dini. My dear friend and mentor Roscoe Brewer is the founder of EPIC. For the past year it has been my privilege to serve on the EPIC board of directors. I took off yesterday morning to Atlanta from Kansas City as the snow was just beginning to arrive. Now, I am at the Atlanta airport ready to head home.
I am amazed at what is happening in the areas where EPIC is working. What makes it even more spectacular is the fact that they are doing all this on a shoestring! The return on investment is abundant! I only wish I could share everything that is going on. However, one of the disadvantages of working with the least-reached is that most of them live in places that tend to be a bit dangerous and security issues prohibit giving a lot of details. This is why being at The Summit beginning February 28th will be important. As a reminder, most of what is said will not be recorded for the same reason of the security of those with whom we work.
As I fly home I will be reviewing my thoughts on holiness for tomorrow morning. Thanks to those of you who participated with your input.

Join me each day as I share what's bouncing around in my head and heart. I wish I had time to sit down with each of you over a good cup of coffee, but at least we can thank God for blogs! Oh! I'll take the coffee, too, whenever I can!

Dr. Jeff,
I was looking at my news feed on Facebook today and one of my dear friends published a link that knocked my socks off. It was joshauproject.net. Are you familiar with this? Can you give any background info at all? We have known each other for over 20 years, but neither of us knew that we had this type of project in common. Coincidence?…I think not. Our God is an awesome God, indeed!
Rodger, yes, I am very familiar with the Joshua Project and some of the people behind it. It is recognized as one of the better sources of information on what God is doing around the world among those who are engaged in God’s global mission. In the latter half of the 20th century missiologists began to view the world through people groups rather than geo-political nations, a far more biblical concept. A personal friend and colleague who used to be pastor a church very close to me in San Salvador, Luis Bush, is the one who coined the phrase 10-40 Window and later went on the head what was called the AD2000 movement aimed to establish a viable witness among every people by the year 2000. Thought that did not happen, the mission was advanced significantly. The Joshua Project is an outgrowth designed to help coordinate information among those who are actively engaged in God’s mission. There is much more to say, of course, but that is a brief overview.
