Muslims are People
October 18, 2010
Desiring God recently hosted their annual conference: “Think: The Life of the Mind and the Love of God.” Check out their media library for a lot of great resources and videos. Let me highlight one such resource: a panel discussion on “Loving our Muslim Neighbors: A Pastoral Conversation with Thabiti Anyabwile and J.D. Greear.” Both… [Read more…]
Overwhelmed
October 11, 2010
Overwhelmed… in a word, that’s how I’ve felt this last week. The need is overwhelming. Last month, the UNHCR (the UN’s refugee agency) described the refugee situation here as “a humanitarian crisis.” This is the first time an EU country has ever had such a distinction. And it’s not just the need that makes the… [Read more…]
Greece: Far From Home
September 8, 2010
Two new videos on the refugee and immigrant situation here in Greece. Both are well done and well worth your time. Click through to Loving the Overlooked if you can’t see the videos. First, the UNHCR (the UN’s Refugee Agency) recently released this video regarding the situation for refugees and asylum-seekers here in Greece. Please… [Read more…]
Beyond Hope?
June 28, 2010
A friend directed me to this UNHCR (the UN’s refugee agency) video on refugees in Greece. Caution: while the video certainly isn’t gory, it does contain footage of corpses – the result of failed attempts to cross into Greece from Turkey over the Evros (or Maritsa) River. Very real… but not pretty, if you’re easily… [Read more…]
Team Training Days
June 23, 2010
This week (Wednesday-Friday) we have a guest from the US teaching on working with Muslims – understanding the worldview, tracing the influence of history/culture/folk practice, and learning to communicate the gospel in ways that make sense to the Muslim mind. This friend works to mobilize, resource, and oversee our teams in the Muslim world –… [Read more…]
Simple Acts
June 16, 2010
Sometimes one small thing, one simple act, changes everything. Let one simple act change the way you see refugees… and yourself. World Refugee Week is here. Celebrate by doing something simple – click here for some ideas!
Giggles and Growth

Hard to believe that Emma is five months old! Here’s a short video montage from the last month. She is a gift! Thanks for being a part of her life. Enjoy!
One Righteous Man
April 28, 2010
This song – based on Isaiah 52:13-53:12 – moves me. I was purchased at a cost, redeemed at an overwhelming price. It was free for me, but unbelievably costly for Him. Thank you, Jesus. Isaiah 53:3-6 Is. 53:3 He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and… [Read more…]
What’s Your Cause?
January 13, 2010
As you read this post, the Sanner family is probably… er, hopefully… okay, maybe… somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean. We’re excited to be back in the States and reconnect with YOU – our family, friends, and ministry partners! Until then, check out this video from World Relief, a Christian relief agency that seeks to empower… [Read more…]
Spread Joy
December 30, 2009
Take five minutes today and make someone feel like an all-star! This scene was orchestrated by a group called Improv Everywhere, whose mission is to cause scenes of chaos and joy in public places. How will you spread joy today? I’m going to serve my wife by scrubbing the toilets and bathtub. I’m going to… [Read more…]
When You Can’t Leave…
November 30, 2009
Despite the lack of resources for refugees in Athens, they are often the lucky ones. They are not in Afghanistan. They got out. They had savings to spend, or perhaps a house to sell, in order to afford the costs of travel. Here’s a revealing video clip on the situation of some of those who… [Read more…]
Ride On
September 30, 2009
The Ride for Refugees is this weekend (Saturday)! Will you pray for these riders as they raise awareness and raise money for refugee ministries across the world? For those of you who missed out on this year’s ride, next year will be here before you know it! We’d love to have you ride on our… [Read more…]
“Reception Centers”
August 26, 2009
As a child, we would often drive to Florida on our family vacations. As you cross from Georgia into Florida, you are greeted by signs welcoming you to the Sunshine State and a large reception center. In addition to bathrooms, maps, and picnic areas (roadside staples), the Florida reception center offers fresh Florida Orange Juice. … [Read more…]
Misery Meets Greece’s Migrants
May 27, 2009
Here’s a recent video (22/5/09) from Al Jazeera News regarding the refugee/immigration situation in Athens. The outdoor shots in this video are on the same block as our ministry center. While this story probably isn’t getting air time in American or Northern European news, it is major news here in Greece. Please continue to pray… [Read more…]
