Happy New Year's Eve (and New Year)!

Between the holidays, and receiving some great books over said holidays, I've been a bit distracted, so I've just got a quick New Year post this week, before getting back to more substantial posts next week. Overall, I think this year has gone very well, both for me, and for IRI. We now have substantial work going on in Mozambique, with several communities and over 50 churches involved in the process of personal, spiritual, and community development. We have also had great success in the Philippines, with several new partners and plans to return next year and the year after to expand the programs. We are continuing to build relationships and a reputation in Hong Kong, both with individuals, several churches, and the educational community. Finally, I was able to spend half of last year working at LCU, and have made plans to travel around the Midwest early next year. I'm glad we have been able to do so much, and look forward to next year.

Happy New Year everyone!
