Missions Blog

Overseas Missionary Fellowship, or OMF, is making a docudrama on the life of James O. Fraser and his ministry among the Lisu people.  I’m really excited about this project.  Check out jofraser.org for the trailer and more information about the film.  You can preorder it for $9.99, which sounds like a really good deal.

Mountain Rain is one of my favorite missionary biographies.  James O. Fraser life is inspiring and a testimony to what God will do if His people just call out to Him.

Thanks for letting me know Beth!

David Brainerd’s Blog

Someone took David Brainerd’s journal and made it into a blog. You can read the days of his life as if he wrote them for his blog, rather than 250 years ago.

David Brainerd was a pioneer missionary among the American Indians. His journals have inspired thousands to missionary service abroad. He was an incredible man of prayer who saw his life end before he even reached 30. He is also well known for being good friends with Jonothan Edwards and for falling in love with his daughter. Sadly, while she was trying to nurse him back to health, she caught the same disease and died. After his death his journals were published for the sake of the church. You can read a short biographical article here and a short work by Edward on his life here.
