Climbing Kilimanjaro step by step – Lessons for America from Africa

Last updated on: January 13, 2011 at 2:39 am By Richard Dahlstrom

In about 11 hours our team from Seattle will board a flight that will take us (eventually, by the 5th airport) to Seattle, and we’ll be home, our exploratory trip of this region completed. We came here in order to meet some people who are doing marvelous development work and to visit the sites of wells our church has funded, some of them completed already, and one just getting started on the day we arrived in Uganda. We encountered so... Read more

bandwidth problems

Last updated on: January 7, 2011 at 3:40 pm By Richard Dahlstrom

It’s tough to post just now, here in Rwanda, for two simple reasons: bandwidth. 1. There’s not enough time, because we’ve been on the road meeting, learning from, and praying with people all day, each day, and the nights are full too 2. There’s a ton of footage and pics, but the internet’s a bit slow for uploading this kind of thing, at least in our limited time frames. Here’s a bit though… from a letter I write to my... Read more

Timing? Never our alone

Last updated on: January 4, 2011 at 10:49 am By Richard Dahlstrom

Here’s a quick update on my church’s Rwanda/Uganda trip: Yesterday, we’re flying east from Seattle, and shortly after passing over the Rocky mountains, the plane turns south. The pilot then tells us that there’s been a problem necessitating that we land in Denver instead of Chicago. As a result, we miss our night flight to Belgium, and hence our ongoing flight to Kigali. We were supposed to be there right now, but instead we’re in D.C., where we arrived via... Read more

Reading matters: What’s on your list?

Last updated on: December 31, 2010 at 9:41 am By Richard Dahlstrom

I’m convinced, more than ever, that our lives are shaped by two things: 1. Revelation 2. Our response to revelation A lot of revelation in our lives is pre-determined. We don’t choose our families, the nation in which we live (usually), and all the cultural taboos and mores that go with those inheritances. But it’s also true that, as we grow older, a great deal of the revelation in our lives is the product of our choices. We choose our... Read more

First Resolution: five options for five minutes of prayer

Last updated on: December 28, 2010 at 4:18 pm By Richard Dahlstrom

Life, it seems, is coming at us faster than ever. Longer hours at work, more stress, commutes, repairs, exercise, relationships, and endless social connections that encourage us to remain linked in, with updated status reports and timeless tweets – add it all up and life can feel like a video game. It’s coming at you and you’re reacting. Reacting, though, is much different than living. When I’m reacting, I end up preaching because I’m expected to say something, rather than... Read more

Good News…Great Joy…All People

Last updated on: December 24, 2010 at 12:52 pm By Richard Dahlstrom

Over the past two years, the church I pastor in Seattle has invested well over 300 thousand dollars in providing clean water for villages in Africa. We do this through the excellent work of “Living Water International” because they don’t just provide water, they provide it “in Jesus name.” I hope you’ll pause now and celebrate with me, as you look at this brief video that offers thanks to Spilling Hope (look, especially, at the 2nd half, with specific messages...

Christmas Vacation: filling hospitality with joy instead of tension

Last updated on: December 22, 2010 at 9:56 am By Richard Dahlstrom

Looking for a better way of being together than “Christmas Vacation”? read on: “Dwelling” is a great word. It can mean the space in which we occupy our lives: “My dwelling was built in 1928, and leans a little bit downhill” (true statement). Or, it can mean something we do: “we’ll all be dwelling together this Christmas, 8 of us, a full house!” (also true). There’s also a third way to use the word, and it’s tucked away in a... Read more
