I’m Convicted…

crossposted from truegrit The Silence in the Godblogosphere is Deafening -it’s true. There isn’t much to be heard on the Korean Christian aid workers plight. We should at least be calling one another to prayer. djchuang.com has a thorough report……

Steve, there’s a good discussion starting up about that TIME magazine article about missionaries over at http://nextgenerasianchurch.com/2007/07/28/camcorder-missions-ouch/ , where I expressed my hermeneutics of suspicion on the journalistic enterprise:

What mainstream media is particularly gifted at is raising awareness and exposure to the minority who have a divergent opinion or less-than-noble motives. It’s as if the media has its own mission to get contrarian opinions and perspectives about any and every issue, which unfairly puts every perspective on equal footing and equal weight.

DJ,

We’re praying for this situation at SIM (Serving In Mission), and I just posted a YouTube video from July 21 that was created as an appeal for prayer. You can view it on my Kingdom Journalism blog:

The silence is a bit deafening, as you say. Global Voices Online has been posting some interesting links to local reaction, but it’s all in Korean so I can only read the English summaries which are usually very brief.

Did you see this TIME magazine article? (It’s not very positive of Christian missions in general):

Shalom,
