I got bored enough to do a search on my own name. Looks like there are other Lon Wong’s out there. I even found an ibm award photo of myself from a [...]

Enough about mission for a moment. I’ve got more on my heart than my mind can grasp. I’ve got my hands in several things that I’d rather be knee deep in. I’ve been gaining in vision to the point of going cross-eyed. I need to sit still if just for a [...]

I just finished reading my first official church planting book. I guess now I know how to plant a church. Right. The only thing I’m left with is how overwhelmingly difficult it would be. I can’t believe I dared to mention to people last year considerations of planting an entire city/village.

It’s been a whirlwind of a month. God’s been revealing much. Hopefully I will be journaling more this year as I’ve been trying to convince myself that it is a spiritual discipline.
