April 2010 International Ministry eLetter
When words fail, we groan. When pain cripples our soul, we groan. When despair invades our hearts, we groan. When our relationships lie in ruins, we groan. When I am revealed for who I am, I groan.
A casual reading of the Bible reveals that groaning--soul anguish--is no respecter of persons, nor of peoples: …

Man of Sorrows
that when the children cry
the Man of Sorrows
suffers too.
Eternity encircled
and enclosed
the crossbar
of his suffering
with the despair of ages,
all our griefs
and every
ruination
choking out
the Breath of Life.
Heart broken
under awful weight
of every horror,
pain and burden,
he was crushed.
His throbbing lifeblood
spurted down
a tree he sculpted,
soaked… Continue

Book Review - Cross-Cultural Connections
IVP Academic 2002
Reviewed by David Korb
Many books are interesting and informative, but not very practical. In other words, the content is engaging, and may even prompt the reader to take notes in the margin, but when the last page is turned, the… Continue

November 2009 International Ministry eLetter
"Winning is everything."
"Nice guys finish last."
"The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat."
No, I'm not talking about my beloved Phillies, even though this will be a tough year to listen to all those Yankee fans crowing about number 27. I'm actually thinking about the Apostle Paul when he wrote these words,
"Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such… Continue

Devotional - On Walls (Ephesians 2:11-21)
[by David Korb, as featured in the October 2009 issue of the Missionary Monthly newsletter]
I’ve always enjoyed the poetry of Robert Frost. Maybe it’s because I have New England roots and much of what Frost writes about applies to my early days in the Adirondacks of New York. Whatever the reason for my inclination toward Frost’s… Continue

Ferkessédougou, Re-Viewed
Not a pretty sight, they say,
those trucks blasting through to
make town square a parking lot.
Plastic detritus lines the roads
like aging snow, yellow, ragged.
Lean-to booths don’t line them; no,
they squat instead in random rows
hawking debris of Western cultures
and Chinese imports. Not pretty.
A scrawny boy, shirt ripped,
holds out his begging bucket
(once a liter of tomato… Continue

Choosing Missions for My Children
Before I became a parent, my main perspective about raising a missionary family came from my positive experiences in the Philippines. I loved being a missionary kid (MK) and to me, the Philippines was home in every sense of the word. As I became an adult, I realized that not every MK is grateful to have grown up overseas, for reasons as varied as the landscape of loving it. Instead, for them, the only way they would use the word “positive” in the… Continue

July-August 2009 International Ministry eLetter
Recently I was talking to a couple of guys, one a believer and the other not yet, on the why of missions in a world of vying belief systems. I’m sure you’ve had similar conversations when people discover you’re a missionary. It struck me again at how a faith-in-God answer can simultaneously sound normal and absurd. To the one, missions are a natural response to one’s faith in Jesus… Continue

June 2009 International Ministry eLetter
You’d think that a Major League Hall of Famer would, from an insider’s perspective, articulate some unique insight that would allow the rest of us mere mortals to elevate our understanding of baseball and how it is played. Or maybe a World Series winning manager would challenge the status quo on how we understand the actual game strategy itself. Or perhaps a baseball analyst on… Continue
