Something Borrowed

If you haven’t figured it out, the “something borrowed” in this edition is your brain. Thanks for thinking about these things with me. With GK, Seth, and Jesus encouraging us, let’s write, talk, explore, and connect, sharing the ideas and dreams God has given us to the end that his kingdom and glory fill up the planet.

Thanks for reading.

Shane Bennett writes and speaks for a great organization called Frontiers. Lately he’s wondering about how Muslim immigrants in Europe might fully experience God’s blessing.

He’s also working with some buds to leverage a $49 a month smart phone plan to raise a ton of money for cross-cultural workers. Email him for info on the plan or the vision.
