Kona to Manila.
Manila to Cebu & Surigao.
We got to help a number of people and bases with their Technology and Website needs.

From a conference in Manila to one in Tauranga, I think we have our quota.

Come in and see what else has been happening for us.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Thank you for such a good time in the Philippines over September and October.

From YWAM Together in Manila at the beginning of September, we then traveled down to Cebu and Surigao and then back to Manila at the end of October.

We got to work with many of you to see what you are doing, but more importantly, to see why you do what you do, to hear your vision, and see where you think Jesus is taking you.

So, we moved into a yurt. Our neighbors are now roosters, turkeys, and coquí frogs.Living in Kona is interesting. We’re not on holiday, and our economy is very much supported by holidaymakers, so I can’t begrudge them having fun while they are here. Where we were...

August 2023 We are back in Kona after five weeks in the Philippines. From Surigao where Chris and I met, to Cebu where we had our Honeymoon and Manila where it all began. We sidestepped a Typhoon but missed out on getting to Baguio. We met with many old friends and...

Talking with Father  For me, prayer is an enigma. I have known times when God has definitely answered prayers. Like the time I flew out of New Zealand to Manila with the Airport in Manila closed due to a coup. I have also known times when God did not answer...

Information is like a pile of lumber and building materials stacked on the ground.

Knowledge is turning all of that into a house.

Understanding is going and living in that house.

And wisdom is procreating a family in that house.

What might be an unintended consequence of sustainable abundance?

Will the lack of stress to provide for oneself, the lack of suffering as you keep body and soul together, create a world of weakness where everything and everyone collapses in on itself?

Judges 21:25 and Judges 17:6. In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.

It must be kind of important if God mentions it twice.

When we follow this course, of doing what is right in our own eyes, we are like a boat with no sails, rudder, or keel, easily blown by any wind on the waters.

How can we maximize harvesters?
How can we maximize the training of harvesters?
And how can we maximize the disciplining of those harvested into harvesters?
You have really good programs running at your base.
You work hard in them.
How can we increase your harvesting without increasing your work, your hours, or your effort?
People are the body. Our programs are our food. We need to eat programs into oblivion, such that we cook a new program. From that program that gets consumed will rise the next generation, fed and ready to cook a new program.

Large Language Models that can create answers to many facetted questions do exist.

They operate from a probability and informational matrix to provide answers to questions.

What I mean by this….

God is not on our side.
But we can be on God’s side.

Who’s team are you on?
Your own team or God’s?

Often, we start on our team, we learn that that is not where we are meant to be, we switch to God’s team, and then, unfortunately, we convert God’s team into our team and wonder where God has gone.

How do we move from being on our team to God’s team?
How do we keep ourselves on God’s team?
What are the telltale signs that I might be trying to convert God’s team into my team?
And if I find myself having converted God’s team to my team and God seems vacant, how can I get back onto God’s team?
