	Hallelujah Moment from Nepal: "The Church on the Rock" February 20, 2009--As the faltering economy grips even the remotest parts of the earth, Nepal does not emerge unscathed.

	Missionary Minute: Easter Vigil April 15, 2006 Being a missionary surgeon is difficult. You’re not practicing your profession for yourself, but you reflect somebody else. If I have a private practice, my motivation is to do a really good job so patients will refer more patients and I will earn more money and maybe become rich and famous. Being a missionary doctor means if I do something wrong, that reflects on my God. If I do something good, that, too, reflects on my God. So that is much harder!
