Tim Keller, King's Cross: The Story of the World in the Life of Jesus
We are all witnesses to and participants in the story of the world as it pivots on the hinge of that great Good News. What an amazing privilege and opportunity!
We want to start sharing more of what we see and hear and are a part of, so will attempt to do better at a brief, monthly update.
Susan—I spent two weeks in Manila in March. It was a great time of meeting with the Asia and Pacific Area communication team. This diverse team from Korea, Philippines, Japan, Taiwan and the U.S. (plus interns and volunteers from many other countries!) is collecting and telling the stories of what God is doing through His people and His Word all across their region. Check out one of their videos at: www.wycliffe.net/stories/tabid/67/DEfault.aspx?id=2606
Now after several weeks of being able to work from home, I'm getting ready to go to the annual meetings of the Forum of Bible Agencies, International in New York City. The extra perk there is that I also get to see our daughter, Kate! Then two days after returning from NYC, Tom and I head for Asia for meetings with all the Wycliffe Global Alliance leaders from around the world. So lots to prepare for!
Tom—I've been working almost non-stop on all the upgrades to www.wycliffe.net, the Wycliffe Global Alliance website. Recent upgrades have included a "print this" option so you can now instantly print articles you might want to keep or share. And speaking of sharing, the website now also has a robust "share this" feature that allows you to share almost anything you see on the site friends through Facebook, Twitter, etc. You can also now download photos from the website--a handy feature if you are looking for good photos for a missions conference, prayer meeting or Sunday school class. And you can also now get feeds of content (prayer requests, stories, etc.) from wycliffe.net right to your own website (a good way to keep current missions content on your church website!).
I've also been working on Portal, which will be a new intranet site for communication personnel and others in the Wycliffe Global Alliance. This new site will meet the longtime need of communication teams to have a place keep key resources, training materials and connect through forums, etc.
