Blog's Origin

What does World Missions and Mafia have in common?

Here's the story -

One day several of the students at BBTI (myself included) were talking about missions. After all, that's why we are here at BBTI - Baptist Bible Translators Institute. Prior to this occasion, many in my life have teased me about "knowing everyone." While that is a false statement, I do know a lot of people. And those I don't know, well never mind, I don't want to give away all my secrets. Back to the story.... During this particular instance, the statement came up again that I know everyone. Jokingly, one person said it was as if I was the head of the Missions Mafia. 

Of course, it was all in jest, but thereafter, several have mentioned that I should use this "talent" for a good cause. Such as, connecting those who maybe otherwise wouldn't know each other. Therefore, this is the beginning of the Missions Mafia Blog! 

Welcome! 

I do not know if this will be an effective or ever "get off the ground," but it will be fun at least! 

My purpose for this blog all centers around Missions. I might do a missionary profile of someone I know (only if that missionary would not be endangered by doing so). Or perhaps give facts about a country or people group that needs more missionaries. I hope that many will enjoy reading about Missions and ALL are welcome to comment or email me if they have a particular request for information about a certain area.

Also, when I hear of a particular need a missionary might have, perhaps for a short term helper, I will also note that. Maybe that will actually be the avenue for people to team up for the Lord's Work! 

After all, there is MUCH to be done for the GREAT COMMISSION! 

Let us join together and see God's Word Go Forth!!!
