So, as usual, it looks like I’m a little slow on the blogging However, this time, my lack of attention to the blog is born a little more out of frustration and not having much to write about than mere inattention to it.
So, as you might have gathered… not much has happened since […]

As always, it’s been a little while since I’ve posted. Sorry, no excuses.
However, life is exciting and good in regards to the business plan and moving in the direction of China. After my bosses’ return from China a few weeks ago, we were better able to discuss our next steps. One of my on-going concerns […]
As usual, it’s been a little while since I’ve updated. HOWEVER, this time, I’ve had a reason for not updating (other than the usual “I don’t really know what to write”). So, for the past two weeks, I’ve been taking a course here at my workplace with other like-minded individuals regarding the idea […]
It’s been a little while since I’ve posted… but things sort of feel like they haven’t moved much since my last post.
As of now, my progress continues slowly, but surely. I’m continuing to read and research about China, regulations for starting a business, the people and culture as a whole and am making some progress […]
moving forward…but not without road-blocks
Published by July 23rd, 2007 in Business As Mission and thoughts. 2 CommentsSince my last update, I’ve had a few interesting encounters.
Early last week, I met with a few people who have had some significant experience in China. I met up with them to chat about their experiences, what they have viewed as the biggest sources of struggle and frustration, and the biggest chance for opportunity. […]
the first draft (and subsequent questions)
Published by July 17th, 2007 in Business As Mission. 1 CommentIt’s been a few days since I’ve written. Nothing concrete has really happened in regards to our business development.
However, we are making a little progress. I met with my supervisor last week, and we started to discuss how our business plan should start to be formulated. SCARY! So, I spent some time […]
I was chatting with someone last week about this great book I’m reading called “Jesus in Beijing”. Apparently I’m not the most eloquent speaker because they thought I was reading a book called “Jesus Invasion”… not quite the same idea.
Anyway, Jesus in Beijing is a book by David Aikman, who is the former Beijing […]
Well, I’ve been doing some pretty heavy-duty contact making the last few days. It’s been exciting to see how things seem to be progressing into more of a reality than just the intangible idea phase.
However, some of my contacts haven’t been so encouraging. That is to be expected, obviously, but a bummer none […]
On Friday, I had my first meeting with someone to chat about China. This interaction exceeded all my expectations! I met with a former Philosophy professor from my school, whose name I had recieved from another professor I’ve been speaking with about China. I didn’t really know what to expect, especially since […]
I’m currently in the (tedious, but fun) process of gathering information before we even begin to devise a plan of action. I have been researching online, researching in books, researching through conversation, and reading, reading, reading. Thus far, I have read three great books.
The first book is Marketplace Christianity by Robert Fraser. This […]
