This video captures our heart for this part of the world. We have a desire to see these lands impacted by King Jesus. Join with us in crying out for the lands of Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq. For the next three years we are committing to pray and fast for these lands. Would you consider joining with us in this?

If you've not heard of TED, I strongly urge you to check this out. It is inspiring and refreshing.
I really wonder what the equivalent is in the Christian missions world? What are some ideas which are life and World transforming?
When I was in Kenya and Uganda, I saw these children all over the street. Each one is made in the image of God, and yet for some reason, their lives are marred with hurt and pain. They use glue to put off the pain.
During the Saturday after Thanksgiving, Lindsey and I spent some time praying specificaly from family and friends. A few days earlier we asked for prayer requests through email. The day went so well. We found we have so much to learn about prayer, but we also found great joy and delight in standing with people for sickness, that God might be glorified, that people might come to know God's love through Jesus Christ, and that people might move forward with wisdom and courage in the midst of struggle or pain.
We just wanted to let you know, we prayed for you if you sent us requests.
with joy and gratitude, the Kaspars
This looks very interesting. I heard about this at a recent conference Lindsey and I attended.
We are so thankful for your prayer support.
During this Thanksgiving season, we would especially like to pray for
you and thank God for each of you. How we will do this is on
Saturday after Thanksgiving we will block out parts of the day to
pray.
Would you send us some specific ways we can pray for you and
your family? Simply email either Michael or myself, even if it is just a
sentence or two.

With the Christmas gift-buying season about to open in an all-out-sprint, one of the most popular types of presents will be media-related gifts: CDs, DVDs, video games, and the like. A new Barna Group study shows that most Christian parents will purchase such presents for their children despite their misgivings about the content of those products. The result will be stress for many well-intentioned but morally uncertain parents, and inappropriate exposure for millions of morally vulnerable children. To read more about this phenomenon, read this week’s Barna Update, available for free via this link. www.barna.org (copied from a recent email I received from Barna Update)
