Perspective

I expect my perspective to change this year. This word is about your view - physical, personal, spiritual, relational, etc. Your view, and therefore your perspective, is largely dependent on what's within eyesight and earshot. My view will be very different for a while, as I live and work in Mongolia.

I'm blessed to have the opportunity to take a sabbatical, and direct all my energies into a ministry that I have come to love. Lifeqwest (http://www.lifeqwest.org) was started by Jerry and Susan Smith, American missionaries, to rescue abused and abandoned children in Mongolia. In the 10+ years since then, God has grown and blessed their ministry, which now provides a number of other humanitarian services to the community in and around Darkhan, Mongolia. Having worked there over the last 3 summers on short trips, I can't wait to get there and stay for a while.

I created this blog because I thought it would be the best way to share my experiences with friends and family. I have no idea how often I'll update it when I'm there, but I hope to post at least weekly, including photos. You might enjoy learning a little bit about Mongolia. Here's a picture of the kids that Lifeqwest cares for. They are dear to me, and I can't wait to tell them that I'm staying longer this time!
